Beyoncé's 2022 LP Renaissance rises 8-5 on the Top Dance Albums chart, earning 6,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the April 25-May 1 tracking week (up 26%), according to Luminate, as the superstar kicked off her Cowboy Carter Tour April 28 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. While the setlist primarily highlights her 2024 country album Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé included several Renaissance tracks during the tour's first three shows (all at SoFi), including 'America Has a Problem,' 'My House,' 'Cuff It' and 'Alien Superstar.'
The album wasn't Beyoncé's only beneficiary: Her entire solo catalog sports gains following the tour's launch. Her catalog raked in 57 million official U.S. streams during the tracking week, up 18% from the 48.3 million streams the week before. Cowboy Carter had the largest gains and surges 193-64 on the Billboard 200 with a 73% increase in units.
Gryffin, Excision and Julia Michaels' new collaboration, 'Air,' debuts at No. 25 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, fueled entirely by its 620,000 first-week streams. The track arrived April 25 via 10K Projects.
'Air' earns Gryffin his 38th career entry on the chart, and his second of 2025, after 'In My Head,' with Kaskade and Nu-La, peaked at No. 15 in February. It also becomes Excision's 10th entry and Michaels' fifth.
PinkPantheress lands her second entry on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart with 'Stateside.' Released April 25 on Parlophone/Elektra/Atlantic Records, the track debuts at No. 11 and joins her previous single, 'Tonight,' which ranks at No. 13 after debuting at No. 5 in April. Both songs are set to appear on her second mixtape, Fancy That, a nine-track project due out Friday (May 9).
PinkPantheress previously charted two tracks on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs: 'Way Back' with Skrillex and Trippie Redd (No. 13 in January 2023), and Kaytranada's 'Snap My Finger,' on which she's featured (No. 40 last June). Her breakthrough collaboration with Ice Spice, 'Boy's a Liar, Pt. 2,' climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 2023.
MEDUZA, Innellea and GENESI's 'Edge of the World,' featuring Nu-La, debuts at No. 33 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, marking the highest new entry of the week. It gained by 33% in plays among 24/7 dance reporters and pop stations' mix show hours.
The release marks a milestone for Italian house group MEDUZA, which scores its 10th career entry and first since 'Another World,' with HAYLA, hit No. 1 in December, becoming the act's third leader. It's also the first entry for both Innellea and GENESI and the second for Nu-La, whose 'In My Head,' with Gryffin and Kaskade, rises to a new No. 14 high.
In a fun twist, the chart's second-highest debut is the similarly titled 'End of the World' — Miley Cyrus' latest single. It enters at No. 35 with a 30% gain in plays, becoming her 12th career hit on the chart.

Listen: Mariah Carey sings about her type in 'Type Dangerous'
June 6 (UPI) -- Mariah Carey released her first song of 2025 on Friday. The music icon, 56, dropped the single "Type Dangerous" and its official lyric video. "Said we'd be together, but you didn't stay forever," she sings. "Now I guess it's just whatever till the 12th of never. I've never been afraid of love. That's why I like 'em dangerous." The video shows the singer driving her car with wind in her hair. The song is set to appear on an upcoming album. "Type Dangerous" follows the release of the deluxe anniversary edition of The Emancipation of Mimi, which dropped May 30. The new version has 40 songs -- twice the number of tracks that appeared on the 2005 original. "So happy to celebrate this milestone anniversary with you all for an album that meant so much to me then, and means even more now," Carey said on Instagram. Mariah Carey turns 56: a look back Mariah Carey won Top Pop Artist at the Billboard Music Awards on December 3, 1991. Earlier that year, her album self-titled album topped the Billboard charts.

Barry Manilow heartbroken by Billy Joel's health crisis
Barry Manilow's heart "broke" when he heard about Billy Joel's health crisis. The veteran musician was forced to cancel all of his tour dates for the rest of the year after he was diagnosed with a rare brain condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), which is caused by a build-up of fluid in the brain, and now Manilow has admitted he feels terrible about seeing the Piano Man go through such a tough time. He told Billboard: "Oh, it's so horrible, so horrible. It just broke my heart when I heard about Billy Joel. I'm such a fan of his work. I really hope he's able to get back to it." Manilow went on to admit there aren't many of his contemporaries still performing. He said: "It's like: 'What? Am I the only one left?' It's Billy Joel, and Elton [John] is not well and Rod [Stewart] and Neil [Diamond]. Diana Ross is still in great shape, I think. "There must be only a handful of people in my world that are still there. "I'm still healthy. I'm strong and I've still got my voice and my energy. The night I can't hit the F natural on Even Now, that's the night I throw in the towel. But I can still do it." Joel recently axed all of his tour dates - including 17 dates in North America and England - but reports suggest he has no plans to retire despite the diagnosis. Announcing the news on social media, a statement from Joel's team read: "Billy Joel has announced that he will be cancelling all scheduled concerts following a recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance. "Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritising his health. "He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage." Billy added his own message to fans, saying: "I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding."

The Essentials To Know About Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour In London
If you've been following all things related to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour - from Tina Knowles revealing how Rumi begged to join her mum on stage, to Blue providing viral dancing moments on stage and celebrities dressing up for the tour - then you'll know that Beyonce's London leg commenced on June 5. The global star has made her highly anticipated return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June to kick of six London shows in the North London stadium as part of her Cowboy Carter World Tour. Between June 5 and 16, over 62,000 fans will see the singer perform her country album for the first time ever in the UK. If you've already got your tickets secured and want to know how you can plan ahead, below we list all that there is to know about performance times, setlists, what to wear, leaving the stadium, who will be opening for Beyoncé and more... then keep reading below. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Take a closer look at the full breakdown of the Cowboy Carter Tour setlist for the London dates below. Based on Bey's pervious performances, this list gives you a solid idea of what to expect, but keep in mind that every show has its own flair, so the lineup may shift slightly on the night. Given that the album country themed, western wear is the dress code for the Cowboy Carter tour. From double denim, to cowboy boots, hats, shorts and gold and silver jewellery, the options of what to wear are endless. Before you can sing your way through the stellar setlist, you'll need to plan how you're getting to the venue. Although Tottenham Hotspur stadium has advised visitors not to drive, there are plenty of other transport options to choose from. Heading to the stadium from central London? The nearest tube stations to the venue are Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale, both about a 30-minute walk away. Conveniently, both are on the Victoria Line, so they are easily accessible from Oxford Circus, Kings Cross, and Euston stations. Several TFL bus services, including the W3, 149, 259, 279, and 349, stop at or near the venue. However, the stadium advises that on concert days, these routes may experience minor diversions due to road closures for the event. Need to reach the venue from East London? White Hart Lane on the Weaver Overground line is the nearest station to the Station, offering a direct connection from Liverpool Street. See more information from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium at the link here. The stadium doors open at 5 pm, with Beyoncé's anticipated to take the stage around 7.30 pm. However, based on her previous Cowboy Carter shows, she often begins her performance closer to 8.15 pm. Whilst nothing has yet been confirmed, given that Beyoncé hasn't had an opening act for her tour so far, there's no indication that this would change in London. However, rumour has it that Sir Paul McCartney may join Beyoncé on stage for her rendition of the Beatles song 'Blackbird', as well as support from her DJ. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has a restricted bag policy and requires all bags to be less than A4 in size (21cm long x 30cm high). Everyone knows that one of the best parts of going to a concert, is the pre-show itself. From getting ready with your friends, while blasting all of songs ahead of the gig, there's nothing quite like it. Whether you've already got a dedicated Cowboy Carter playlist or are still adding the finishing touches to your carefully curated playlist, Spotify are here to enhance that experience. The music streaming platform have created a limited-edition collection of playlist cover art stickers that you can add to your playlist throughout the tour. With designs that include cowboy boots, a Cowboy Carter sash and a 'TEXAS HOLD 'EM' license plate, you can easily access these by clicking the 'Create Cover Art' tool.
