'ExtraL' is one of the many star-studded collaborations on JENNIE's upcoming album Ruby, set for release on March 7. The project includes team-ups with Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, FKJ, and Kali Uchis. JENNIE also worked with Dominic Fike on the previously released track, 'Love Hangover.'
Ruby will feature 15 tracks, including her October 2024 single 'Mantra,' which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 3 on the Billboard Global 200. In a recent interview with Billboard, Jennie reflected on the personal process of creating Ruby. 'I intend to complete myself as Jennie Ruby-Jane, for that to be a whole person, in a way,' she shared. 'You'll definitely know what I mean once the album drops, but because I'm playing with a lot of different genres and elements — I'm rapping here, I'm singing here, I'm harmonizing here, I'm talking here … The overall sound was me making sure I like every single [song].'
JENNIE continued, 'I didn't want to be forced into putting a song onto my album — that's what I really fought for. And I was lucky to have all these people believe in me and support me so I could get to a level where we were like, 'Wow. I think we're ready.''

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' Is Clawing Toward a Hot 100 #1 Debut
Sabrina Carpenter is no longer the rising pop princess. She's a fully formed femme fatale with diamond fangs, and her latest venom-laced single, 'Manchild,' is biting deep into the Billboard charts and possibly clawing its way to a #1 debut on the Hot 100. What started as a sleek feminist kiss-off has exploded into a bona fide streaming juggernaut, and as of this moment, Sabrina is in a deadly close race with TikTok heartthrob Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' for the top spot. According to projections, the songs are now within just 10 chart points of each other, an astonishingly tight margin that could tip in Sabrina's favor if her streaming momentum continues through the week. 'Manchild' didn't just whisper its way onto streaming platforms it stomped in, six-inch heels and all. The track debuted at #1 on the Global Spotify Chart on June 6 with a staggering 8.05 million streams worldwide, marking the biggest debut of the year by a female artist. Let's be very clear: this isn't just a fluke. These numbers obliterate the previous 2025 record set by Chappell Roan's 'The Giver' and cement Sabrina as not just a pop girl but a pop girl. In the U.S. specifically, 'Manchild' dropped jaws with 3.3 million streams on its first day, giving it a firm grip on the #1 spot on the U.S. Spotify Chart. That's right: Sabrina Carpenter is topping streaming charts in the same week as new releases from Post Malone, Cardi B, and even a surprise drop from The Weeknd. The girl is unfazed, unbothered, and undeniably unstoppable. Here's the breakdown of 'Manchild''s first three days on Spotify: Day 1: 8,752,217 Day 2: 4,766,328 Day 3: 4,526,518 (down only 5.03% from the day before) Total so far? A cool 18,045,063 streams. And she's just getting started. Sabrina isn't just relying on vibes she's playing this game with ruthless pop star precision. 'Manchild' has been discounted to 69 cents on digital platforms, making it one of the best-selling singles of the week on U.S. iTunes, where it now sits pretty at #1. This is Sabrina's first #1 on iTunes, and with digital sales factored heavily into Billboard's Hot 100 formula, this price drop could be the razor-sharp move that slices Alex Warren's lead. For those doing the math: digital sales + massive streaming + Spotify dominance + strong radio adds starting this weekend equals a serious threat for a #1 debut. Let's not ignore the elephant in the studio: 'Manchild' is a banger. It's a breathless, flirtatious slap in the face to immature men wrapped in syrupy vocals and a glossy, hyper-pop beat. It's 'thank u, next' for the Gen Z TikTok generation—but with better shoes and sharper claws. The lyrics? Savage. The delivery? Pornographicly confident. And if TikTok is any indication (over 350,000 video creations and counting), the girls, gays, and emotionally neglected situationships are all eating it up. Here's what we know. Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' has been the sleeper hit of the season, riding high on streaming and viral sentimentality. But streaming alone won't be enough to guarantee him the top spot if Sabrina keeps firing on all cylinders. If 'Manchild' continues to hold its streaming velocity and expands its sales lead through the week and if radio jumps in with last-minute spins it's entirely possible that Sabrina Carpenter could debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 next Monday. That would make her the first solo female artist to debut at #1 in 2025 a stat that's almost too poetic for a song this petty and perfect. The narrative has shifted. Sabrina isn't just the girl next door with a pretty voice she's a chart-dominating pop dominatrix, and 'Manchild' is her scorched-earth campaign against the industry's lingering doubt. Every stream, every sale, every sexy smirk in the song's viral lyric video is evidence: this woman came to conquer. So buckle up. The Hot 100 is about to get very, very interesting and Sabrina Carpenter might just be sitting at the top of it all.

How Lewis Hamilton helped shape the F1 movie soundtrack
The upcoming Formula One film, "F1," starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, is set to feature a massive soundtrack, "F1 The Album," releasing alongside the movie on June 27. The album, spearheaded by Atlantic Records, the team behind the "Barbie" album, will include original music from a diverse array of artists such as Chris Stapleton, Blackpink's Rosé, and Tate McRae. Film producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Joseph Kosinski, and Atlantic Records West Coast President Kevin Weaver collaborated to create a soundtrack that mirrors the intensity and global appeal of Formula One. Weaver noted that the selection of artists was driven by the film's narrative needs, aiming to find voices that best complemented specific moments in the movie. Kosinski emphasised the importance of reflecting the sport's global nature through the soundtrack, incorporating artists from around the world. Ferrari driver and seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who consulted on the film, reinforced this need for inclusivity. The soundtrack features a mix of genres, including pop, Afrobeat, electronic, and country, resulting in a collection of 17 tracks designed to appeal to a broad audience. Artists found inspiration in various ways, with some, like Rosé and Chris Stapleton, creating music in response to specific scenes. Ed Sheeran wrote "Drive," with John Mayer and Blake Slatkin, specifically for the film's end credits, inspired by lyrical prompts related to Pitt's character. DJ Tiësto, who also appears in the film, contributed "OMG!" featuring rapper Sexyy Red, blending dance music with high-energy racing vibes. Roddy Ricch, another contributor, sees his song "Underdog" as a motivational anthem about overcoming doubts and finishing the race of life. Kosinski hopes the soundtrack will introduce listeners to new artists and spark interest in Formula One.

AGT contestant's journey from living in her car to golden buzzer wows everyone
Charity Lockhart will have quite the story to tell at her 50th birthday party later this year. The 49-year-old singer, who appeared on 'America's Got Talent' on June 10, went from being stopped by judge Simon Cowell midway through her set to earning a golden buzzer just minutes later. Now, she has hopes of winning America's largest talent show and, one day, earning herself a Grammy. And she has quite the story to go along with her ambitious goal. As is tradition on the show, Lockhart shared her story and reason for auditioning — arguing that, while she loves singing and loves music, she primarily does it for her two kids. She then joked that she's raising two 'little' children: a 27-year-old daughter and 21-year-old son. Following a divorce years ago, Lockhart says the trio were forced to live in a car while she performed at clubs and bars to make ends meet. 'All I had was my voice,' she told the audience as her two kids looked on. 'I asked live bands if I can sing with them, and they would give me a little money at the end of the night.' The family's first big break came when Lockhart won a local singing competition — which she joked was not as big as the stage she was standing on now. 'We won a monetary reward, and that gave us our first apartment,' she said to a crowd of cheers. According to her website, Lockhart won $1,000 in that competition in Arizona. She went on to create an Aretha Franklin tribute show that she says was approved by the Franklin family. The show was regularly performed on cruise ships and was 'rated one of the best-received acts on the international waters,' per her website. Prior to her audition, Cowell encouraged Lockhart by telling her that 'anything is possible' when you have talent. 'So, we are all honestly rooting for you right now. Come on!' he said. Lockhart's AGT audition starts off on the wrong foot For her first song, Lockhart sang an a capella of Judy Garland's 'Over the Rainbow.' Her talent was obvious, but she was cut short after just 30 seconds as Cowell put two hands in the air and asked her to stop. 'I stopped you because I like you, but it just wasn't working for me,' Cowell said to a crowd of boos. 'Have you got another song?' Cowell asked, giving Lockhart a chance at redemption. For her second song, she performed a version of 'Golden Slumbers' by The Beatles — this time with background music. 'Look, I really want this to work for you. And I know this is a lot of pressure. But come on, you've got it in you. Let's hear the other song,' Cowell said before she started singing. Sofía Vergara's jaw dropped 30 seconds later, and Cowell's jaw followed. And that was before she started hitting whistle notes. Mel B liked it so much that she was the first to stand up and cheer when the song ended — and the entire audience (including Cowell) followed. 'This is what a great audition is all about,' Cowell said. 'You know when people are going to talk about you the following day — that was one of those auditions. It was that good.' Mel B uses her second golden buzzer of the season As for Mel B, she had a golden look in her eye the entire performance. 'Oh man, you know what, every once in a while you see somebody, you connect with them and they just bring more and more to the table,' she said. 'I think you're amazing and I want to give you this right now,' she said — pressing the golden buzzer. The 'golden buzzer' is a button that AGT judges can press when they are so impressed by an act that they want to send them directly to the live shows. You can watch the golden moment in its entirety below: It was Mel B's second use of the buzzer this season after sending the Messoudi Brothers straight to the live shows during the second night of auditions. 'Oh, I know instantly,' she told NBC Insider of her golden buzzer sense. 'Both my golden buzzers, I knew. And I'm like, 'Nobody on the desk knows that I'm gonna buzz?' I even went to everybody else to see what they thought. I played it well,' she added, per NBC News. Live shows begin airing Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
