BTS Perform “Dynamite” at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards: Watch
If you thought K-pop couldn’t get any bigger than it already was, just look at the year BTS have been having. The septet became multi-millionaires when their label, Big Hit, went public; they took over The Tonight Show for an entire week; and their most recent single, “Dynamite”, became not only their first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, but the first song from a Korean group to ever take the top spot. That’s on top of the two LPs they’ve already released this year, Map of the Soul: 7 and the Japanese-language companion LP Map of the Soul: 7 – The Journey. On Wednesday night, they continued their mega-success by taking home the Billboard Music Awards’ Top Social Artist trophy — for the fourth year in a row. To celebrate, BTS delivered a performance all the way from South Korea. In wha...

Budweiser Crowns Halsey as Its ‘King’ For Latest Campaign
Being a king is all about chasing after a dream and making a name for yourself, whether it’s rearranging the letters in your name to make a moniker that matches a subway station in the next state over, or it’s leaving your home country in pursuit of making the best beer in the world, like Budweiser founder Adolphus Busch set out to do in 1876. “Budweiser views being a king as a mindset, and I was honored that they choose me to break down the gender association of the word ‘King’ and allow me to tell my story,” the Hopeless Fountain Kingdom singer tells Billboard. “I think being a king is about finding self-confidence, embracing your power and celebrating all of the little things that have made you who you are. Nothing is ‘...
Hozier Surprised a Busker Performing ‘Take Me to the Church’: Watch

Billie Eilish Shares Racy Photo With Cryptic Message
The 18-year-old “Bad Guy” singer would do fine going back in time. She pretty much owned 2019 with the debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, which hit the pinnacle of sales charts around the globe and scooped five Grammys earlier this year, including a rare sweep of the Big Four categories: album, record and song of the year plus best new artist. Along the way, she smashed records left and right. Among them, she became the youngest album of the year winner in Grammy history (at 18), and the youngest singer of a Bond theme, “No Time to Die” (also 18). Unlike most of us, Eilish has been productive during the pandemic. During a recent interview for The Tonight Show, Eilish and her brother and collaborator Finneas revealed they’ve been in the zone....

World Mental Health Day: Camila Cabello Lists the Things That Have Helped Her Deal With Anxiety
She went on to detail her experience practicing mindfulness, committing to movement, adjusting the way she talks to herself, learning to be grateful for the little things every day and more. “I committed to 10 minutes of mindfulness every day, at least,” she explained. “I started just every day for a year and a half. Haven’t skipped a day of mindfulness because it lets me focus on my breath, it lets me look at my thoughts from a more objective perspective as opposed to believing everything I think is true, which was, I think, a big source of my anxiety.
