“Come Over,” an ARIRANG bonus track from BTS that just made its streaming debut, tops this week’s new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (June 12) on Billboard, choosing the K-pop superstars’ latest digital release as their favorite new music.

“Come Over” flew to the top spot in a landslide win against new releases from artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Cultura Profética, Charles Wesley Godwin, KATSEYE, Jack White, Bebe Rexha and more. At the poll’s closing time on Sunday, BTS ARMY kept the group in the lead with more than 86% of the vote.

“Come Over” — which has members SUGA, RM and j-hope among its list of co-writers, and which was co-produced by Cirkut with SUGA and Ammo — had its streaming debut on Friday after previously only being available on the physical deluxe vinyl edition of ARIRANG.

Its streaming premiere was timed alongside BTS’ annual fan celebration, Festa, and a lyric video for the song was uploaded to YouTube on release day.

With some lyrics in Korean and some in English, the translated chorus of “Come Over” has the septet pleading to reconnect with the subject of the song: “Yeah, I’m lost, can I come over?/ Yeah, I’m lost, can I come over?/ I just wanna say I’m sorry.”

Coming in second place behind BTS’ “Come Over” is Olivia Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love album, which dropped on Friday. Rodrigo also released a new music video for album track “Stupid Song.”

Garrix played “Bizarre” set to a pulsing dance beat and amplified with a light show in pink and purple, the apparent color scheme of the Confessions II era. His June 13 gig was the third of a trio of nights at Barclays on his Americas Tour.

On Sunday evening, Garrix shared a video featuring the song sneak peek from Saturday’s concert on Instagram.

“Who knew love could be so bizarre?” Madonna’s heard singing on the track’s hook. “Only love could be so bizarre.”

“Bizarre” is track 10 on Madonna’s 16-song collection Confessions II, and the fourth tune to be teased ahead of the July release of her 15th full-length studio album. She first released album opener “I Feel So Free,” followed by the Sabrina Carpenter collab “Bring Your Love,” in April. “Love Sensation” arrived in early June.

Confessions II, the sequel to 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor, has her reuniting with producer Stuart Price and is the first album she’ll release since her return to Warner Records. It Madonna’s first new album in several years, following the 2019 Billboard 200 chart No. 1 Madame X.

Madonna recently unveiled CONFESSIONS II – The Film, which premiered at Tribeca Festival in New York City and is now available to watch on YouTube. In early June she also performed a surprise pop-up show in celebration of Pride Month in Times Square — marking the official launch of the new venue The Square on Broadway and 47th Street.

Oliver Tree has reportedly died following a helicopter crash in Brazil. He was 32.

The genre-blending singer, songwriter and producer was among six people killed when two helicopters collided over Rio de Janeiro on Sunday (June 14), according to CNN Brazil and the Associated Press.

Tree, whose full name was Oliver Tree Nickell, was traveling through South America as part of his World’s First World Tour.

The other victims were identified as passengers Lucas Vignale, Gaspar Prim and Lucas Brito Chaves, along with pilots Alexandre Souza and Charles Marsillac.

The collision reportedly occurred in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro’s western zone. Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.

Billboard has reached out to Tree’s representatives for comment.

The California-born artist released his fourth studio album, Love You Madly Hate You Badly, in April. Known for his signature bowl haircut and eccentric persona, Tree performed in São Paulo on June 6 and was scheduled to play Lisbon, Portugal, in early July. Additional tour dates were planned across the United States, Europe, Australia and China.

Born on June 29, 1993, in Santa Cruz, California, Tree launched his music career with the EP, Demons, in 2013. He gained wider attention with the 2016 single “When I’m Down,” which helped lead to a deal with Atlantic Records the following year.

Tree released four studio albums through Atlantic: 2020’s Ugly Is Beautiful, 2022’s Cowboy Tears, 2023’s Alone in a Crowd and 2026’s Love You Madly Hate You Badly. Before signing with the label, he independently released the album Splitting Branches under the moniker Tree in 2013.

Among his biggest hits, “Life Goes On” reached No. 7 on Billboard‘s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart in 2022. His debut major-label album, Ugly Is Beautiful, topped Billboard‘s Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart in 2020. And “Miss You,” his collaboration with Robin Schulz, climbed to No. 4 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart in 2022.

Musicians are celebrating the New York Knicks’ first NBA championship in 53 years.

On Saturday (June 13), the Knicks secured the title with a 94-90 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.

Following the historic win, music stars including Cardi B, Fat Joe, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Lopez took to social media to celebrate the franchise’s first championship since 1973.

Cardi B documented her over-the-top reaction in an Instagram Live video, leaping out of bed and running excitedly through her house while screaming, “Oh my God!” and “We won!” She later explained that she needed to get ready to go out because “the streets are calling me.”

Fat Joe, a longtime Knicks supporter who has regularly cheered on the team from courtside seats, also marked the occasion on social media.

“Never give up,” Joe captioned an Instagram photo of himself posing alongside the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.

The rapper also shared several celebratory posts, including a courtside video himself alongside actor Timothée Chalamet and actress Teyana Taylor.

Alicia Keys joined the festivities by posting a video of a massive crowd flooding the streets of New York City after the win. In the clip, fans could be heard singing “Empire State of Mind,” her 2009 hit collaboration with Jay-Z.

“Empire State of Mind!!!!!!” she captioned the Instagram post.

Jennifer Lopez delivered one of the night’s most memorable reactions, sharing a video of herself on Instagram watching the game’s final moments from home. As the game ended, the Bronx native jumped up in celebration before collapsing onto her couch while shouting, “Yes!” and “Oh, my God!”

Lopez accompanied the clip with a heartfelt message reflecting on her lifelong connection to the team.

“Congratulations to the New York Knickerbockers, NBA Champions!!!!!” Lopez began. “I remember the last time the Knicks were making a run for the championship and rushing home every game day from the set to watch Ewing, Starks and Oakley make a hell of a run.”

She continued, “We have all been waiting patiently for this day for years. Thank you for uniting our city again…for uniting the world. You restored faith, hope and belief in that there’s nothing we can’t do!! Hard work, goodness and teamwork pays off! You set the city on fire!! Proud to be from the block!! You already know. Knicks forever. CONGRATULATIONS!! Love, Jenny.”

Australian indie-pop four-piece The Tullamarines have delivered one of Like A Version’s most anticipated covers of the year, taking on Fleetwood Mac‘s “The Chain” in their debut appearance at the triple j studio.

The band — Angus Purvis, Lucinda Machin, Josh and Benny — leaned into the song’s dynamics, trading harmonies across its quieter passages before spotlighting the iconic bass-driven breakdown and building into a full-blown closing jam. The arrangement stayed faithful to the spirit of the original while leaving room for the band’s own four-part vocal blend to take centre stage. They also performed their original track “Running On Empty” as part of the session.

The song choice came with some nerves attached. “We had a lot of songs that we were thinking about. The Chain came up as an option, and we were very, very scared,” vocalist Purvis admitted in an accompanying triple j interview. “And they were thinking we couldn’t do that justice.” Co-vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Machin said the band ultimately decided to “give it a go, see what happens” — describing the song’s lyrical themes and construction as “very angsty,” while Purvis remarked that “The Chain” feels like it’s been around “forever.”

For good reason. “The Chain” is drawn from Fleetwood Mac‘s Rumours (1977) — the album that spent 31 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making it one of the longest-running chart-toppers in the chart’s history. Rumours has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide and remains one of the best-selling albums ever recorded. While “The Chain” was never released as a standalone single, it has become one of the most recognised tracks in the band’s catalogue, widely used in film, television and sport and covered extensively in the decades since.

The Tullamarines are currently on an upward trajectory in the Australian independent music scene. Their 2025 sophomore EP Safety Blanket has been nominated for Best Independent Pop Album or EP at this year’s AIR Awards, with winners to be announced at an invite-only ceremony at Adelaide Town Hall on July 30. The band spent the past 12 months building momentum through sold-out headline shows, festival appearances and achieving full triple j rotation, while supporting international acts including The Vaccines and Everything Everything.

Summer Smash 2026 kicked off on Friday (June 12) at the grounds surrounding Seatgeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois. The festival, created by SPKRBX and Lyrical Lemonade, has build a reputation as one of the premier rap-heavy fests in the U.S.

50,000 fans filled the festival grounds for day one, which was a picture perfect, sunny, 80-degree day about 15 miles outside of Chicago.

It was an eclectic group on day one, which included vets like Riff Raff along with newcomers like Molly Santana, Nettspend and Pradabagshawty continuing to prove why they could be leaders of the next generation.

Chief Keef and G Herbo displayed their connection with Chicago as drill pioneers and trailblazers for the 2010s in the city. Sexyy Red made America Sexyy again, and North West hit the stage for her festival debut with a 15-minute set inside the tent.

Lil Uzi Vert delivered as the night one headliner, showcasing a rock star ability many of his peers think they have, but only a few actually hold at the moment. There were plenty of Chicago sports luminaries sprinkled throughout the crowd, with Chicago Bears teammates Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze in attendance.

Night two will find headlining performances from Skrillex, Yung Lean and Baby Keem, while Lil Baby and Playboi Carti will hold down Sunday to bring the festival across the finish line.

With day two well underway, here were our top five moments from day one of Summer Smash 2026.

On the final day (June 13) of an eventful Tribeca Festival, Bono, Patti Smith and Tribeca co-founders Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal gathered in lower Manhattan to honor Bruce Springsteen with the Harry Belafonte Voices for Social Justice Award.

“I’m a little embarrassed to get this award,” Springsteen, who dedicated the award to the people of Minneapolis, Portland and Los Angeles for standing “against the federal invasion of their cities this year,” admitted during a lengthy sit-down conversation with Bono. “I’m just a concerned citizen.”

Much like Springsteen’s recent Land of Hopes & Dreams Tour, the main topic of concern at this Tribeca Storytellers event was the erosion of democracy in America and President Trump’s federal overreach. Prior to the conversation, De Niro and Rosenthal introduced the Boss and explained why he was receiving the award.

“This is a man who knows how to use his voice,” explained the Oscar-winning actor. “He uses it to give voice to the powerless and he uses it to lead the resistance. He is fearless and direct. He knows what the problem is and he names it: Donald Trump. Donald J. Trump and his feckless enablers. That’s so important because this isn’t about reasonable disputes on policy: this is about the corruption and megalomania of one person. Bruce Springsteen puts a face on it, and he does it with the words of a poet.”

Though a peer and a self-professed “fan masquerading as a friend,” Bono asked thoughtful and even tough questions of Springsteen during their chat.

Speaking about a rock star’s ability (or inability) to connect with the working class, which both Bono and Springsteen came from, the U2 frontman said, “I fear sometimes we on the left lost a little bit of it and that the accusations of elitism that are out there for people like me are not inaccurate.”

“Has it cost you?” Bono asked Springsteen. “Do you feel torn at all thinking there’s people in this town that used to come see my shows who don’t now? Or have you made peace with that?”

“I’m not sure,” Springsteen candidly answered. “You have to do two things. There’s the classic folk song, “Which Side Are You On?”: you have to make your stand and follow your beliefs and you have to have the faith in them that they will be explicable and understandable by your fellow citizens. And you have to believe that America is a sacred argument and a compromise.”

Elsewhere in the chat, Springsteen pointed out that no one should have shown up to his recent tour – the most explicitly political one he’s done in a career marked by socio-political concerns – expecting anything different from what they got. “I warned everybody what the tour was gonna be like so they didn’t waste their money before they came,” Springsteen said with a chuckle. “I figured I did my job and it was every man for himself after that.”

Despite his consistent activism, Springsteen chooses his battles carefully. Bono shared that in the past he’s asked the Boss to sign various petitions and has been politely but firmly turned down. Bono recalled asking Springsteen to license his 2007 song “Girls In Their Summer Clothes” for a Gap commercial when Bono joined up with the clothing brand for the (PRODUCT) RED campaign, which raised money to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. Springsteen’s response? No.

“That was a big mistake, too,” Springsteen cut in, seemingly to Bono’s surprise. “I should have said yes.” Explaining it was one of his favorite songs even if it wasn’t a hit, Springsteen admitted, “I should have f–king done it. I have to apologize.”

After standing up and hugging it out, the two welcomed a third Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Patti Smith, to the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center stage. With Tony Shanahan on keys, she performed a soft plea for peace, “Peaceable Kingdom,” which was inspired by Rachel Corrie, who was killed by an Israeli military bulldozer in 2003 while protesting the demolition of Palestinian homes in Gaza Strip.

Smith then performed a live favorite of hers, “People Have the Power,” a rousing call-to-activism. Springsteen and Shanahan backed her on acoustic guitar, and though Bono left the stage, Bruce called him back out to contribute backup vocals (which he also did).

Nothing on the advance program promised a live performance from Springsteen, but everyone in the crowd was quietly hoping for a little something (key word: quietly, unlike the extremely vocal fans at Miley Cyrus’ Tribeca Q&A last year who heckled until she sang something, though her event never promised music). Springsteen did, in fact, perform, offering up an utterly mesmerizing solo version of “Land of Hope and Dreams.”

Before leaving the stage amid a standing ovation, Springsteen offered up one more important thought to the New York City audience: “Go Knicks.”

The curtain may have come down for President Donald Trump at the Kennedy Center, but the tarp stays up for now.

Matt Floca, executive director and chief operating officer of the performing arts venue, told a federal court Saturday (June 13) that the institution had complied with an order to remove Trump’s name from the facade. In a filing, Floca said the board of trustees and the center had removed “all physical signage on the Kennedy Center building and grounds, including the front portico, that purports to rename the Kennedy Center after President Trump.”

But for onlookers who have gathered on the plaza in front of the center over the past day hoping to witness a dramatic moment symbolizing the limits of Trump’s power, it was virtually impossible to see whether the signage was gone. A tarp hung over the scaffolding constructed for workers to perform that task. It was unclear when the tarp might be removed to reveal the original lettering that had endured for decades: “The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”

A reporter was able to peer through a slight opening in the tarp, which was pulled tightly against the wall, and saw that the letters for Trump’s name were no longer affixed to the building.

By the end, the Kennedy Center’s leadership had dug in against a federal judge’s order to erase Trump’s name from the building. Two courts rejected the institution’s last-minute request to keep retain Trump’s name pending an appeal. After severe thunderstorms raked Washington on Friday evening, the Kennedy Center sought one more extension before complying with a noon Saturday deadline.

Those who pushed for the scrubbing of Trump’s name were in a celebratory mood. Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, an ex officio member of the board who sued to remove references to the president from the building and the center’s operations, was spotted in the plaza late Friday and Saturday morning. She posted a video to social media that purported to show her performing the “Trump dance” in one of the Kennedy Center’s great halls.

“Today’s victory is the beginning of returning the Kennedy Center to the American people,” Beatty said in a statement. “The rule of law prevailed, and that is worth celebrating.”

Leo Bartholomaus, a recent graduate of Syracuse University who lives in Virginia, said he was walking by the Kennedy Center on Friday afternoon after visiting the National Mall to see events related to this weekend’s UFC match at the White House. He said he was not happy that Trump added his name to the building.

“My grandmother had a big love of the arts,” he said. “I’ve been here to see The Lion King. I wasn’t a fan of Donald Trump putting his name on it. I thought it was better as the Kennedy Center.”

The removal of Trump’s name closes one of the more unusual chapters in the history of the Kennedy Center, which began construction in 1964 and was dedicated to the memory of the slain president, Democrat John F. Kennedy. At what is typically one of the few relatively nonpartisan spaces in Washington, Trump has wielded tremendous influence over the venue during his second term.

Though he rarely discussed the Kennedy Center during his 2024 campaign, Trump moved quickly to oust the institution’s leadership when he returned to office in January 2025 and replaced it with a board of trustees that named him chairman. His name was quickly added to the building.

While the removal of his name marks a setback for Trump, he is moving forward with plans to reshape the physical landscape of the nation’s capital in ways that have few modern parallels.

He demolished the East Wing of the White House and is building a controversial ballroom in its place. He remodeled the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and plans extensive renovations of a golf course in East Potomac Park, moves that could significantly reduce the public’s access to running and biking paths. He is also moving forward with a triumphal arch that will sit near Arlington National Cemetery across the Potomac River in Virginia.

Indeed as Trump’s name was being removed from the Kennedy Center, the South Lawn of the White House has been transformed into a venue for a UFC match intended to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence but also coinciding with Trump’s birthday on Sunday.

Back at the Kennedy Center, there are many questions about the institution’s future. The same May court decision that ordered Trump’s name to be removed from the building also blocked a planned two-year closure for renovations that was set to begin next month.

The Kennedy Center’s calendar for the weeks ahead include performances of Moulin Rouge! The Musical and Bluey’s Big Play. Comedian Bill Maher is to be awarded the Mark Twain Award for American Humor during a ceremony on June 28.

But little is scheduled for the stages beyond that and, after substantially reducing staff, it is unclear how quickly the Kennedy Center could build out a robust performance list. Trump, angered by the court’s order to remove his name, has said he would turn the Kennedy Center over to Congress and has suggested it might simply shutter because of public safety concerns.

In its unsuccessful appeal on Friday seeking a pause on the order removing Trump’s name, the Kennedy Center’s leadership argued, in terms that seemed similar to the president’s speech patterns, that the lower court was interfering with needed renovations.

“The District Court is not allowing us to close in order to properly fix up and repair the Building, including potentially life threatening structural damage like beams and parking garage ceilings that are rusted, and in serious danger of falling onto people below,” according to the appeal. “Indeed, total collapse!”

The institution also suggested that the president’s name could return to the building if the Kennedy Center later wins its appeal.

If the court denied the venue’s request for a pause, the Kennedy Center argued it would “be forced to squander time and money — by both removing the signage and then potentially returning it after appeal.”

Back in 2016, former Hot 97 host Ebro Darden challenged Lil Uzi Vert about having longevity in the rap game and believed they could be struggling years down the line.

A decade later, Uzi’s outlasted plenty of his peers and continues to solidify their rockstar status with performances like they had headlining Friday night (June 12) at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash 2026 in Bridgeview, Illinois.

The Philly native hit the Summer Smash festival main stage outside Seatgeek Stadium around 10:25 p.m. CT and apologized for being tardy. “Sorry I’m late, I had to jump off the jet,” they told the 50,000 fans chanting his name.

The always fashionable Uzi popped out in a white Gucci longsleeve top with the signature green and red stripes across his chest and a backpack to match. He nearly went with the full Gucci manakin, but opted for Prada sneakers and a furry fox tail accessory hanging from his belt. “But you know, Gucci almost to the toe, down to the Prada,” they said of the outfit. “Nowadays Gucci the same thing as Balenciaga.”

Their entrance felt like a WWE wrestler gearing up to enter the ring at WrestleMania, with plenty of fireworks and love from the crowd. Between the damp Jheri curl and Uzi’s jubilant child-like energy, they were moving with the aura of Michael Jackson crossed with the je ne sais quoi of Lil Wayne.

Uzi kicked off the set with an unreleased track before running through “POP,” “444+222” and “Aye.” They channeled back to the nostalgia of early fan-favorites like “Do What I Want” and “Money Longer.” The 30-year-old claimed to hear some requests from the crowd and mixed the poignant “The Way Life Goes” into the set.

At one point, Lil Uzi took note of a fan rocking their spiked hair and pink American flag jacket look from The Pink Tape cover art, and essentially demanded that they come on stage. The fan, who went by Mars, raged with Uzi on stage and was even on a receiving end of a headbutt from the Philadelphia native. It’s like Uzi found their own version of Burberry Erry for a few minutes.

Lil Uzi brought out the styrofoam cup for “XO TOUR Llif3” and poured some out for the homies no longer with us. They gave a shout-out to North West, who was watching nearby, as fans went bar-for-bar with Uzi on the emotional Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit.

This launched into a heater for Uzi, who showed off the dance moves for “Just Wanna Rock” and 2025’s Jersey club-infused “What You Saying,” which reached No. 12 on the Hot 100. They briefly paused the show ahead of “New Patek” when a frustrated Uzi saw a few fans either sitting down or laying on the ground.

“Hold on! Can y’all get y’all a—s up off the floor, please? What the f—k is wrong with y’all? F—k you tryna get your face stepped on? Get up,” he instructed.

With the clock inching past 11, Uzi still wasn’t ready to call it a night. After undergoing a wardrobe change, they launched into Playboi Carti’s “Shoota” and then left fans with the tease of the weekend, a new album on the way, which will be their first since 2024’s Eternal Atake 2.

“Thank y’all so much, Lil Uzi Vert. New album on the way. I gotta get home and take care of my baby monkey,” they explained.

The surprises didn’t stop there. Lil Uzi’s been leaning on their European influences and the set’s outro found Uzi putting on a British accent for a portion of an upcoming song. It seems LUV is trading Philly cheesesteaks for tea and crumpets these days.

Olivia Rodrigo’s newly released You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is off to a record-breaking start.

The 23-year-old pop star’s third studio album, released Friday (June 12) through Geffen Records, is already shattering streaming records across major platforms.

On Friday, Spotify announced on X that the 13-track set became the most-streamed album in a single day in 2026 so far by a female artist.

The album also set a major milestone on Amazon Music, delivering the platform’s biggest first 24-hour streaming debut globally of any album Amazon Music in 2026, the streaming service revealed through its Instagram Stories on Friday.

You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love arrives three years after Rodrigo’s last full-length release. Her previous album, Guts, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2023.po

The new project follows Rodrigo’s Billions Club Live performance in Barcelona in May. The one-night-only event brought together 1,500 of the singer’s most dedicated Spanish fans at the outdoor venue Teatre Grec. During the set, she performed eight of her nine Spotify Billions Club tracks, alongside fan favorites from her first two albums and her recent single “Drop Dead.” Spotify later released a concert film of the show on May 27.

In late April, Spotify unveiled a list of the most-streamed artists, songs, albums, podcasts and audiobooks in the platform’s history. Rodrigo’s 2021 debut album, Sour, ranked No. 4 among the streaming giant’s most-streamed albums of all time.

Rodrigo is also one of the youngest artists with multiple songs in Spotify’s Billions Club. Sour ranks second among albums with the most tracks surpassing 1 billion streams on the platform, with seven songs reaching the milestone. Only Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti has more, with eight Billions Club entries.
