The track arrives after several days of teasing on Carey's social media accounts, with the icon first getting her Lambs hyped by sharing a video of herself in a luxury car, listening to a mysterious track titled 'T:D_MC16.mp3.' In that same clip, the camera panned down to show that the vehicle's license plate displayed the characters, 'MC16' — leading fans to conclude that the Songbird Supreme also has a new album on the way.
'Type Dangerous' serves as Carey's first proper single in years, with the five-time Grammy winner last dropping an album, Caution, in 2018. The project — which marked the 15th album in her discography — reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
Carey has since busied herself with her annual 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' promotional cycles, as well as celebrating the anniversaries of her most iconic albums. Most recently, she commemorated The Emancipation of Mimi turning 20 years old by dropping an expansive two-disc set compiling numerous remixes, bonus tracks, radio mixes and a cappella cuts. (Billboard also celebrated the milestone by ranking all 18 of the album's original tracks.)

Miley Cyrus Teases Spotify Billions Club Live Show in Paris (And a Concert Film Is Coming, Too)
Miley Cyrus is headed to Paris for a very special concert celebrating some of her biggest hits, with the pop star teasing Wednesday (June 11) that she'll be performing at Spotify's next Billions Club Live concert later this month. The news comes via X, on which the streaming giant first posted a lyric to Cyrus' 'End of the World' — 'Let's go to Paris, I don't care if we get lost in the scene' — and added, '@MileyCyrus, you coming?' More from Billboard DJ Akademiks Denies Taking Payola From Drake During Kendrick Battle Raekwon and Ghostface Killah Release Trailer for 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' Documentary SEVENTEEN Have a Good Time Being a 'Bad Influence' in Futuristic Video For Pharrell-Produced Single The singer then reposted the message and wrote: 'I'll meet you there. Next week. #BillionsClubLive.' Billions Club Live was introduced last December, with The Weeknd playing the first show in the series for about 2,000 people in Los Angeles to celebrate his long roster of songs that have surpassed a billion Spotify streams. The crowd was made up of fans selected for being in the 'Blinding Lights' artist's top percentage of listeners on the music service. Cyrus has several songs that have reached the ten-digit milestone, including 'Wrecking Ball,' 'We Can't Stop,' 'Angels Like You' and 'Party in the U.S.A.' The Spotify concert comes on the heels of her new album Something Beautiful, which dropped May 30 and debuted this week at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The LP marks her first full-length since 2023's Endless Summer Vacation, which spawned eight-week Billboard Hot 100-topper 'Flowers' — a song that has garnered more than 2 billion streams on the platform, meaning fans in Paris can almost definitely expect that she'll perform it during her Billions Club Live show. Spotify confirmed to Billboard that this Billions Club Live show will be filmed and released as a concert film later this summer. The upcoming show will be especially meaningful as Cyrus' live performances are few and far between these days. When she does perform, it's usually in an intimate setting — such as the Chateau Marmont, where she recently hosted a Something Beautiful listening party. In 2023, the Hannah Montana alum announced that she had no intention of touring for the foreseeable future. While promoting Something Beautiful on Apple Music 1 in May, Cyrus elaborated on her decision to skip touring, noting that staying off the road is best for her sobriety and protecting her vocal cords.

Sabrina Carpenter Summer 2.0 Commences With New Single ‘Manchild': Stream It Now
Sabrina Carpenter's new song 'Manchild' is here, kicking off what could very well be another summer of dominance for the pop star. Following the success of hits such as 'Espresso,' 'Please Please Please' and 'Taste' on the charts last year, the pop star returned Thursday night (June 5) with a track that pokes fun at an incapable male partner. Carpenter first teased 'Manchild' a couple of days prior to its release, posting roadside billboards along Interstate 69 that read 'Hey men!' and 'I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them.'

Carpenter revealed that 'Manchild' will be accompanied by a music video dropping Friday at 10 a.m. ET. In a teaser, the musician abruptly falls out of a moving car as it barrels down a dusty road, seemingly pushed out of the vehicle by its male driver. 'STUPID, SLOW, USELESS — BUT THERE'S A CUTER WORD FOR IT, I KNOW,' reads fine print at the bottom of the frame. 'Manchild' marks Carpenter's first new music since '15 Minutes,' 'Couldn't Make It Any Harder,' 'Busy Woman' and 'Bad Reviews' dropped in February as bonus songs on her Short n' Sweet deluxe album. The original LP dropped last August at the high point of a breakthrough summer for the star, spending four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Carpenter has since been touring in support of the album, kicking off her Short n' Sweet arena tour in September with a North American leg. This spring, she traveled across Europe on a run of dates that will pick back up with two performances at London's Hyde Park in July. Listen to 'Manchild' below.

Sabrina Carpenter's break between her last album and next LP was short and sweet, with the pop star announcing Wednesday (June 11) that she has another full-length titled Man's Best Friend coming out this summer. Sharing the news on Instagram, Carpenter unveiled the project's sensual cover art — a photo of the Grammy winner down on her knees in black stilettos, held in place by a man gripping a fistful of her hair — and revealed that it will arrive Aug. 29. 'i can't wait for it to be yours x,' she added in her caption. More from Billboard Sabrina Carpenter Summer 2.0 Commences With New Single 'Manchild': Stream It Now DJ Akademiks Denies Taking Payola From Drake During Kendrick Battle Raekwon and Ghostface Killah Release Trailer for 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' Documentary According to its Spotify countdown page, Man's Best Friend will feature 12 tracks, including lead single 'Manchild,' which recently dropped and is gunning for a high debut on the Billboard Hot 100. The country-tinged track — co-written and produced alongside Carpenter's Short n' Sweet collaborators Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen — finds the Girl Meets World alum playfully calling out incompetent men. 'Manchild, why you always come a-running to me?/ F–k my life, won't you let an innocent woman be?' she sings on the song. 'Never heard of self-care/ Half your brain just ain't there.' Man's Best Friend comes close on the heels of Carpenter's breakthrough album Short n' Sweet, which dropped last August and propelled the singer to superstar status through Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles 'Espresso' and 'Taste.' The LP marked her first-ever No. 1 entry on the Billboard 200, where it reigned at the top for four weeks, and spawned her first Hot 100 No. 1, 'Please Please Please.'
