Votes streamed in over the weekend, with music fans ultimately making 'Gabriela' their top pick over new releases from Public Enemy, Cardi B, Benson Boone, Karol G, Lorde, Haim and more. The new KATSEYE track brought in 43% of the vote.
KATSEYE dropped 'Gabriela' as a pre-release from their upcoming Beautiful Chaos EP, due out on June 27 via HYBE x Geffen (pre-save here). The track has a Latin pop groove and incorporates both English- and Spanish-language lyrics — with a bridge sung entirely in Spanish. The single follows 'Gnarly,' which earned the group's six members their career-first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 in May — and got a remix with Ice Spice earlier this month.
Released on June 19, the deliberately melodramatic, telenovela-inspired 'Gabriela' music video, featuring actress Jessica Alba and directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, has amassed 9.3 million views on YouTube as of press time on Sunday, June 22.
Over the weekend, KATSEYE — Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae — performed 'Gnarly' at the 2025 Kids' Choice Awards. The performance ended with a requisite sliming.
Among the new music trailing behind 'Gabriela' on this week's poll are Public Enemy's 'March Madness,' with 22% of the vote; Cardi B's 'Outside,' with 16% of the vote; Benson Boone's 'American Heart,' with 5% of the vote, and Karol G's Tropicoqueta, with 2% of the vote.

Benson Boone reviews are in: Critics flip off ‘American Heart'
Benson Boone scored one of 2024's most undeniable hits with "Beautiful Things," but 2025 brings the backflipping belter's sophomore album, American Heart. And to say that critics are not head over heels for the record would be putting it lightly. Currently sitting at a 43 on Metacritic, American Heart is being knocked as lacking specificity or the kind of edge present in Boone's many apparent influences. More from GoldDerby Why Simone Ashley is walking the 'F1' carpet - even though she was cut from the Brad Pitt movie The Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt 'Interview With the Vampire' feud rumors, explained Mel Brooks loves 'Hidden Figures'?! Julianne Moore's a 'Superbad' fan?! Stars reveal their most surprising NYT movie picks "So I don't fault the wholesome pop star son of Mormon parents for not writing songs about the rot at the heart of America, or for not biting the heads off bats on stage," Pitchfork's Jeremy D. Larson writes. "But it's really hard to consider a teetotaling showman with a voice straight out of The Voice and not think: What makes any of this actually special? Sure, he can sing, but there's very little flair, camp, sass, or insouciance to his voice to give it dimension and character. Boone's words come out in one impressively earnest register, like his forefather Ed Sheeran, and the long line of buskers before him. There's nothing here that says Boone is ready to enter the pantheon of the real showmen, no more than the thousands of other guys singing, dancing, and backflipping for you on Instagram Reels." "But Boone's musical and visual allusions to the songs and stage demeanor of Neon Trees' Tyler Glenn, [Shawn] Mendes, [Sam] Smith, and [Harry] Styles, and older inspirations like Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, and Elton John never gets as combative, as up against sociopolitical odds, as the assumed or implicit queerness in their music and fashion," write Vulture's Craig Jenkins. "His art is currently most arresting as a feat of athleticism; there's little consternation in its vision of Americana, though the flag-draped cover art and synth-y heartland rock bits seek unsubtle Springsteen-ness." And even by the standard of his own output, namely "Beautiful Things," Boone's second album after 2024's Fireworks & Rollerblades apparently comes as a letdown. "Despite the Freddie Mercury-referencing deep-V jumpsuits he's wearing these days, his latest deflates under the weight of all its glam-pop and '70s and '80s pastiche," Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos writes. "At times swaggerless and too pristine in his attempts to corner the market of retro-pop stardom, Boone loses the youthful edge of his debut and the rawness that made his biggest hit soar so high. On American Heart, songs like 'Man in Me' and 'Mystical Magical' are the worst offenders of his retromania, the latter too cloying and unconvincing in its whimsy." Boone has been outspoken about his detractors, who he sees as disliking him without a valid reason. But even if his brand of pop was never meant to land with critics, some take issue with American Heart when considered alongside its contemporaries. "So it's no fun to report that American Heart, his second album, is mostly not very much fun," writes Variety's Chris Willman. "There are scattered attempts to bring in some of the cheekiness and cockiness that is a part of his performing image. But mostly it seems that, as a recording artist, anyway, Boone really does want to remain in the realm of the Teddy Swims-es or even Alex Warrens of the world, with material that is mawkish before it's at all rock-ish, or raucous. His chops are unassailable, and that goes more than a little way toward elevating earthbound material. He's got what it takes to be ready, Freddie, but for the most part here, we're talking about a bohemian naps-ody." By the same token, every critique lobbed by critics could be exactly what Boone was going for. In which case, American Heart undoubtedly succeeds. "It would be easy to say he's landed on his face, but it's not even that: the boy wonder's stuck the landing he was aiming for," NME's Jordan Bassett writes. "This is bombastic, overproduced pop-rock with an attention-seeking, theatrical bent and broad brushstroke lyrics everyone can relate to. Boone summer 2025 looms on the horizon. Take cover."

Bobby Sherman dead at 81
Former teen idol Bobby Sherman has died. He was 81. On Tuesday, Sherman's wife Brigitte Poublon confirmed the news in a shared statement with John Stamos on Instagram. "From one ex teen idol, to another - rest in peace Bobby Sherman," Stamos wrote, before sharing Poublon's lengthy memoriam. "It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman," she began. "Bobby left this world holding my hand-just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage."

She concluded: "Thank you to every fan who ever sang along, who ever wrote a letter, who ever sent love his way. He felt it. Rest gently, my love."

Bobby Sherman, teen idol in 1960s and '70s, dies at age 81
Bobby Sherman, whose winsome smile and fashionable shaggy mop top helped make him into a teen idol in the 1960s and '70s with bubblegum pop hits like "Little Woman" and "Julie, Do Ya Love Me," has died, his wife said in a statement posted to social media. He was 81. His wife, Brigitte Poublon, announced the death Tuesday and family friend John Stamos posted her message on Instagram: "Bobby left this world holding my hand — just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage. I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That's who Bobby was-brave, gentle, and full of light." Sherman revealed he had Stage 4 cancer earlier this year. American singer and teen idol Bobby Sherman, circa 1970. Photo bySherman was a squeaky clean regular on the covers of Tiger Beat and Sixteen magazines, often with hair over his eyes and a choker on his neck. His face was printed on lunch boxes, cereal boxes and posters that hung on the bedroom walls of his adoring fans. He landed at No. 8 in TV Guide's list of "TV's 25 Greatest Teen Idols." He was part of a lineage of teen heartthrobs who emerged as mass-market, youth-oriented magazines and TV took off, connecting fresh-scrubbed Ricky Nelson in the 1950s to David Cassidy in the '60s, all the way to Justin Bieber in the 2000s. Sherman had four Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart — "Little Woman," "Julie, Do Ya Love Me," "Easy Come, Easy Go," and "La La La (If I Had You)." He had six albums on the Billboard 200 chart, including "Here Comes Bobby," which spent 48 weeks on the album chart, peaking at No. 10. His career got its jump-start when he was cast in the ABC rock 'n' roll show "Shindig!" in the mid-'60s. Later, he starred in two television series — "Here Come the Brides" (1968-70) and "Getting Together" (1971). After the limelight moved on, Sherman became a certified emergency medical technician and instructor for the Los Angeles Police Department, teaching police recruits first aid and CPR. He donated his salary. "A lot of times, people say, 'Well, if you could go back and change things, what would you do?'" he told The Tulsa World in 1997. "And I don't think I'd change a thing — except to maybe be a little bit more aware of it, because I probably could've relished the fun of it a little more. It was a lot of work. It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears. But it was the best of times." Sherman, with sky blue eyes and dimples, grew up in the San Fernando Valley, singing Ricky Nelson songs and performing with a high-school rock band. "I was brought up in a fairly strict family," he told the Sunday News newspaper in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1998. "Law and order were important. Respect your fellow neighbor, remember other people's feelings. I was the kind of boy who didn't do things just to be mischievous." Singer Bobby Sherman at a recording session in Los Angeles, March 13, 1967. Photo by CBS via Getty Images He was studying child psychology at a community college in 1964 when his girlfriend took him to a Hollywood party, which would change his life. He stepped onstage and sang with the band. Afterward, guests Jane Fonda, Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo asked him who his agent was. They took his number and, a few days later, an agent called him and set him up with "Shindig!" Sherman hit true teen idol status in 1968, when he appeared in "Here Come the Brides," a comedy-adventure set in boom town Seattle in the 1870s. He sang the show's theme song, "Seattle," and starred as young logger Jeremy Bolt, often at loggerheads with his brother, played by David Soul. It lasted two seasons. Following the series, Sherman starred in "Getting Together," a spinoff of "The Partridge Family," about a songwriter struggling to make it in the music business. He became the first performer to star in three TV series before the age of 30. That television exposure soon translated into a fruitful recording career: His first single, "Little Woman," earned a gold record in 1969. "While the rest of the world seemed jumbled up and threatening, Sherman's smiling visage beamed from the bedroom walls of hundreds of thousands of teen-age girls, a reassuring totem against the riots, drugs, war protests and free love that raged outside," The Tulsa World said in 1997. His movies included "Wild In Streets," "He is My Brother" and "Get Crazy." Sherman pulled back from his celebrity career after several years of a frantic schedule, telling The Washington Post: "I'd film five days a week, get on a plane on a Friday night and go someplace for matinee and evening shows Saturday and Sunday, then get on a plane and go back to the studio to start filming again. It was so hectic for three years that I didn't know what home was." Sherman's pivot to becoming an emergency medical technician in 1988 was born out of a longtime fascination with medicine. Sherman said that affinity blossomed when he raised his sons with his first wife, Patti Carnel. They would get scrapes and bloody noses and he became the family's first-aid provider. So he started learning basic first aid and CPR from the Red Cross. "If I see an accident, I feel compelled to stop and give aid even if I'm in my own car," he told the St. Petersburg Times. "I carry equipment with me. And there's not a better feeling than the one you get from helping somebody out. I would recommend it to everybody." In addition to his work with the Los Angeles Police Department, he was a reserve deputy with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, working security at the courthouse. Sherman estimated that, as a paramedic, he helped five women deliver babies in the backseats of cars or other impromptu locations. In one case, he helped deliver a baby on the sidewalk and, after the birth, the new mother asked Sherman's partner what his name was. "When he told her Bobby, she named the baby Roberta. I was glad he didn't tell her my name was Sherman," he told the St. Petersburg Times in 1997. He was named LAPD's Reserve Officer of the Year for 1999 and received the FBI's Exceptional Service Award and the "Twice a Citizen" Award by the Los Angeles County Reserve Foundation. In a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2004, then-Rep. Howard McKeon said: "Bobby is a stellar example of the statement 'to protect and serve.' We can only say a simple and heartfelt thank you to Bobby Sherman and to all the men and women who courageously protect and serve the citizens of America." Later, Sherman would join the 1990s-era "Teen Idols Tour" with former 1960s heartthrobs Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones of the Monkees and Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits. The Chicago Sun-Times in 1998 described one of Sherman's performances: "Dressed to kill in black leather pants and white shirt, he was showered with roses and teddy bears as he started things off with 'Easy Come, Easy Go.' As he signed scores of autographs at the foot of the stage, it was quickly draped by female fans of every conceivable age group." Sherman also co-founded the Brigitte and Bobby Sherman Children's Foundation in Ghana, which provides education, health, and welfare programs to children in need. He is survived by two sons, Christopher and Tyler, and his wife.
