Jelly Roll Hits A Career Peak On Multiple Charts With His New Smash
Jelly Roll's global profile has been growing for years now, but he has found the greatest commercial success in the United States, his home country. His music has recently begun taking off in the United Kingdom, thanks largely to a handful of popular collaborations. The multi-genre superstar — who has scored hits in America on hip-hop, country, rock, and pop rankings — rises higher than ever on a number of tallies across the Atlantic by joining forces with one of the hottest newcomers in the global music industry for a quick new smash. Jelly joins Alex Warren on his new single 'Bloodline,' which reaches multiple U.K. charts this frame. The tune debuts on four rosters, becoming a top 20 success on all of them and adding meaningfully to Jelly's short list of wins in each instance, as he hits a new career peak on every roster where the single debuts. Perhaps most excitingly, 'Bloodline' launches inside the top 10 on the Official Singles chart, the ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.K. The Warren duet opens at No. 9, far outpacing the No. 67 peak of 'Lonely Road,' Jelly's previous team-up with MGK (formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly). The same tune is also a win on the purchase-only tallies. Jelly collects his fourth career hit on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts, where 'Bloodline' launches at Nos. 14 and 12, respectively. The cut marks his first top 20 on the general sales list and his second on the downloads-only roster. On that ranking, 'Lonely Road' peaked at No. 20, so he easily claims a new high point. 'Bloodline' is also a top 20 winner on the Official Streaming chart, which looks only at plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. On that tally, Warren and Jelly launch their collaboration at No. 16. It earns the American musician his first placement on this format-specific list, which is surprising, given the popularity of some of his past releases. While Jelly has been racking up hits in a number of countries, including the U.K., for some time, it's Warren's newfound popularity that is largely to thank for the success of 'Bloodline' this week. In addition to scoring a new top 10, Warren leads the charge once again with his cut 'Ordinary.' That track has ruled the main songs list in the country for 11 weeks, and it has proved to be one of the biggest successes of 2025 and a true breakout smash for the singer-songwriter.

Here's Everyone Jelly Roll Brought Out During His Guest-Heavy Stagecoach Headlining Set
On Saturday night (Apr. 26), crossover country star Jelly Roll played what he said to be 'officially the biggest show I've ever headlined' when he closed the second day of the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, Calif. And he made sure it was one to remember for the many thousands in attendance — not only with his usual high-energy, hit-heavy setlist, but with a seemingly non-stop parade of big-name guests showing up to offer their support. More from Billboard Lana Del Rey Sings About Kissing Morgan Wallen in New Song '57.5' During Stagecoach Debut Lana Del Rey Proves She Was Always (And Also Never) Country With Stagecoach Festival Performance Ella Langley Named ACM Awards' New Female Artist of the Year Starting with mgk, who offered tremendous love and respect for his 'Lonely Road' collaborator, Jelly Roll welcomed one big name after another to join him on the stage — sometimes to play his songs, sometimes to play their collaborations with him, sometimes to play their own songs that Jelly just said he wanted to hear. Some folks were already in town for their own Stagecoach sets, but plenty of other folks were enlisted from totally separate corners of the music world — pop, hip-hop, rock, even CCM. Every time you thought the cast was complete, a new name got added to the set's credits, right down to Jelly Roll's closing song for the evening, which ended up featuring perhaps the biggest surprise guest of the entire night. If you weren't in Indio and missed the livestream, Billboard's got you covered. Here's a chronological list of every artist who Jelly Roll brought out on his Saturday headlining gig — check it out below, and be sure to check back after tomorrow night to see if Sunday's fest-closer Luke Combs will respond in turn with his own star-studded set. The artist formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly made the first surprise appearance of the night, seemingly materializing on stage from out of nowhere as Jelly Roll began to sing the chorus to John Denver's 'Take Me Home, Country Roads.' Jelly then pivoted to his and mgk's Denver-interpolating 'Lonely Road,' which they played in full. But before his buddy Colson could get out of there, Jelly requested that he perform his Tickets to My Downfall smash 'My Ex's Best Friend' — and mgk had no choice but to oblige. Shaboozey had graced the main stage (ahem, the 'Mane Stage') at Stagecoach just hours before, but he got the call from Jelly Roll to reprise their 'Amen' collab, which was released the previous day (Apr. 26) as part of 'Boozey's Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going: The Complete Edition deluxe reissue. And then once on stage, Shaboozey had to hang out just a little bit longer to help greet… …BigX, who showed up open-shirted to perform his 2022 single 'Texas' while the two country stars partied alongside him. After that, Jelly Roll pressured BigX to also perform the song he called 'my theme song' — the rapper's 2024 hit 'The Largest,' with the two big men having a mini-danceoff to the song. With all these 'brothers' of Jelly Roll making their presence felt, it was time for his 'little sister' to get in on the action — prolific hit collaborator Jessie Murph, making her second Stagecoach appearance of the day, after popping into Koe Wetzel's set to perform their 2024 Country Airplay No. 1 'The High Road.' Murph of course also had a 2024 hit duet with Jelly, and the two performed their 'Wild Ones' together. The only non-performer of the evening to be welcomed onto the stage by Jelly Roll was of course his longtime wife Bunnie Xo, who he gave a glowing tribute to and greeted warmly, before telling the crowd to give it up for 'Mama Bear.' After his wife's brief cameo, Jelly Roll said he needed to 'confess his love' for her in front of the festival crowd — but lamented that he had been unable to write the perfect love song for his life partner. To help with that, he brought out rising pop-folk singer-songwriter Alex Warren, who performed his current smash 'Ordinary' in Bunnie's honor — then stuck around to help both announce and debut his and Jelly Roll's not-yet-released collaboration, 'Bloodline.' After actually playing a couple solo songs, Jelly Roll embarked upon a mini-covers set, performing bits of Nickelback's 'How You Remind Me,' 2Pac & Dr. Dre's 'California Love' and Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers,' before ending on Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa's 'Young, Wild and Free.' To help with that last one, Wiz himself appeared on stage — and once he was there, Jelly Roll also asked him to play a song of his own, with the Pittsburgh rapper delighting the crowd by launching into his 2011 smash 'Black & Yellow.' With Jelly Roll spending much of the evening preaching all glory to God, it was unsurprising he would ultimately call upon one of his most recent collaborators: CCM star Brandon Lake. The duo performed the Jelly-featuring redo of Lake's breakout hit 'Hard Fought Hallelujah,' which seemed like it would be the climax of the evening. But there was one big moment still to come… …with one of the biggest stars of the entire weekend, Friday Stagecoach performer Lana Del Rey. The singer-songwriter, who Jelly Roll called his 'favorite crooner of all time,' stuck around Indio for at least one more day to help Jelly with his closing number: 'Save Me,' which originally featured the unavailable Lainey Wilson. And after that final unforgettable duet, there was officially nothing left but the closing fireworks for Jelly Roll's stunningly star-studded set.

MGK Looks So Different With New Beard and Man Bun Transformation
Originally appeared on E! Online Machine Gun Kelly is giving fans tickets to his latest transformation. One month after news broke that he and his pregnant fiancée Megan Fox called it quits, the "Lonely Road" musician—real name Colson Baker—debuted a dramatic new look. In a photo shared to Instagram Jan. 28, MGK—wearing no shirt and a pair of camouflage pants hanging low enough to show off his white underwear—looked pensively out of a window, his dark upper body tattoo on full display. But the 34-year-old—whose breakup with Megan was revealed in December, one month after she announced they were expecting a baby together—wasn't sporting his usual short, bleached blond hairstyle and clean-shaven face. Instead, he rocked a longer, dirty blond 'do that he tied back in a small man bun and a thick matching beard. And in another shot from the shoot, MGK offered an even closer look at his new appearance, holding loose strands of his hair up with his hand while the camera caught a fuller glimpse of his facial hair, which also included a mustache.

As one user commented under the photos, "You really came back as a viking omg so hot." Another added, "Bro has become a viking character." Others were singularly focused on his facial hair. "I'm sorry WHATTT???? The beard???" one user wrote, while a second insisted, "The beard PLAYS." This isn't the first major transformation MGK—who is dad to daughter Casie, 15, with ex Emma Cannon—has undergone as of late. Back in February 2024, the "my ex's best friend" rapper revealed that he covered up most of the tattoos on his chest and arms with pure black ink. Alongside a snapshot of his eye-popping permanent ink design, MGK wrote on Instagram at the time, "For spiritual purposes only." For more stars who have gone epic transformations, keep reading.
