“Hate That I Made You Love Me,” Ariana Grande‘s new single, tops this week’s best new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (May 29) on Billboard, choosing the star’s highly-anticipated return to music as their favorite release this week.

“Hate That I Made You Love Me” ascended to the top of the poll in a week that also delivered new music from Latto, aespa and more. When the poll closed on Sunday, Grande held a steady lead, bringing in more than 50% of the vote.

“Hate That I Made You Love Me” is the first taste of Grande’s eighth studio album, Petal (arriving on July 31), and her first new music release — outside of her film career — since 2024’s Eternal Sunshine, which was a No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Petal is set to be released via Grande’s BabyDoll Music imprint label, licensed to Republic Records.

“I hate that I made you love me/ Sorry if I made me your type/ Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me/ ‘Cause I barely tried,” she sings in the chorus.

The song was released Friday, with an official music video still on the way Monday morning (June 1).

And timed just after the “Hate That I Made You Love Me” reveal is the June 8 launch of Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour in Oakland, Calif. (See her current list of tour dates here.)

Among the new releases trailing behind “Hate That I Made You Love Me” this week are Latto’s Big Mama album, with 26% of the vote, and aespa’s LEMONADE – The 2nd Album, with 14% of the vote.

Kanye West reportedly drew a crowd of 118,000 to Istanbul’s Atatürk Olympic Stadium on Saturday (May 30), with the rapper claiming that it was the largest stadium performance in history.

“I just want to tell y’all, we just broke the record, 118,000, largest stadium performance of all time,” West told the audience, according to Türkiye Today.

The show — which began at 9 p.m. local time and evolved into an all-night festival-style event featuring DJ sets, laser and light shows, pre- and after-party gatherings and performances by Turkish artists including Yener Cevik, Mavi, Sena Sener, Pera and Motive — drew fans from across Turkey and abroad, with attendees travelling from Russia, Kazakhstan, the U.K., Germany, the U.S. and Poland.

Organisers opened stadium gates at 3 p.m. to manage the anticipated influx, with crowds quickly filling metro platforms and corridors across the city as showtime neared. Travis Scott also joined West on stage during the show.

The Istanbul date marked the opening night of West’s first European tour in 11 years — and it came after a summer of closures across the continent. In April, the U.K. government denied West entry, ruling his presence “would not be conducive to the public good,” leading to the cancellation of his Wireless Festival headline slot, which had already lost major sponsors including PepsiCo and Diageo.

A Marseille show was postponed after French officials attempted to block it, and concerts in Poland and Switzerland were also cancelled. On the same day as the Istanbul concert, Italian authorities banned West and Travis Scott from performing at a July show at the 103,000-seat RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, citing security concerns following requests from consumer group CODACONS and Jewish communities in Modena and Reggio Emilia.

West has attributed his past antisemitic statements — which included comments praising Adolf Hitler, the release of content using Nazi imagery and the release of a song titled “Heil Hitler” — to manic episodes caused by untreated bipolar disorder. He published a full-page apology in the Wall Street Journal in January 2026. Despite the European bans, several countries have permitted him to perform. His remaining confirmed tour dates include shows in the Netherlands on June 6 and 8, Tirana, Albania on July 11, and Georgia and Spain later in the summer.

West’s commercial run ahead of the tour has been significant. His latest studio album Bully debuted at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart upon its release earlier this year. His catalogue includes 24 Grammy Awards and 10 Billboard 200 No. 1 albums, making him one of the most decorated artists in chart history.

Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons will no longer be touring this year due to the singer’s health.

Valli, who turned 92 in May, canceled all remaining tour dates for 2026 in an announcement that went out heading into the weekend.

“I’m so sorry to disappoint the folks who have purchased tickets to my shows, but I have decided to take the rest of the year off from touring to focus on my health,” Valli wrote in a statement published on the group’s Instagram account on Friday (May 29).

“I’m looking forward to getting healthy and seeing you all again soon,” he added in his statement. “Thank you for all your good wishes.”

Valli did not provide further details about the unspecified health concerns.

But he has kept busy performing throughout the past few years on The Last Encores Tour, the group’s farewell run that started in 2023 and had most recently been extended through late 2026. He was expected to appear in select U.S. markets in June and July, followed by a string of dates in September through November.

In an interview with Tucson, Arizona’s 94.9 MIX FM radio station in February, he explained why he heads out on the road still, many decades into his career: “Be loyal to what you’re doing and love what you’re doing. If you’re doing it out of fame or with the hope of becoming famous. it’s really the wrong approach. You should be doing it out of the fact that you love and it and it’s the most important thing in your life. If I had not become successful I’d probably still be working in some little bar. I love music that much.”

Last year, Valli was honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Recording Academy’s Special Merit Awards, though he’d never won a Grammy — and despite charting five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with The Four Seasons, dating back to 1962 with “Sherry,” which launched at the top after Dick Clark introduced it on American Bandstand, and two as a solo performer, including the 1978 title track for Grease. “This has been an incredible evening,” he said at the ceremony, quipping, “I don’t know what took so long, but that’s the way it goes.”

Charlie Puth‘s night at Madison Square Garden featured a handful of big names as surprise guests, and Billboard was on the ground to capture some of those moments on video.

Puth headlined the famed New York City concert venue Friday night (May 29) as part of his Whatever’s Clever World Tour, which kicked off just over a month ago in support of his 2026 Whatever’s Clever! album. The show saw him welcome Art Garfunkel, Jimmy Fallon, Busta Rhymes and Kirk Franklin to the stage to perform with him during a 23-song set.

First surprise of the show: an appearance from Art Garfunkel for a heartfelt duet with Puth on Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Boxer,” a Hot 100 top 10 hit in 1969 that was a track on the duo’s final studio album, Bridge Over Troubled Water. “He learned how to make his records from me and Paul,” Garfunkel told the New York crowd on Friday. “You’re my student.”

Puth agreed: “I am your student. I’m not just saying that because all these wonderful people are here. The reason that I’m here right now is because of the music you’ve written with Paul. It’s amazing.”

Midway through Puth’s set, Jimmy Fallon, wearing sunglasses, joined the singer for an ’80s hit, Toto’s “Africa” — their biggest single, a No. 1 on the chart in 1983. After sharing a quick hug, Fallon presented the night’s star with a custom New York Rangers jersey with “PUTH” and the number 26 across its back.

Keeping the mid-show energy on the rise, the next unexpected guest on Puth’s stage was Busta Rhymes bringing a classic from the early 2000s, “Break Ya Neck,” and one from the late ’90s, “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See” — plus a slightly more recent hit, “Look at Me Now,” the 2011 Chris Brown single Busta featured on alongside Lil Wayne.

The rapper closed with leading the city in a round of cheers for his host: “New York City, please make some noise for our brother, your brother, the incredible Charlie Puth.”

Even more entertainment was to come. Kirk Franklin arrived to give spirited performances with Puth of two of his own songs, “I Smile” and “Lean On Me,” and a cover of gospel group God’s Poperty’s “Stomp.”

Puth’s tour continues Saturday night (May 30) in Atlantic City, N.J., before heading south. He’s set to perform across the U.S. through mid-June, then head overseas for a European leg.

Morgan Wallen ran into some technical difficulties during the Denver stop of his Still the Problem tour on Friday night (May 29).

While seated at the piano to perform “Sand In My Boots” during the first of two shows at Empower Field at Mile High, the 33-year-old country superstar appeared frustrated after seemingly being unable to hear the instrument properly.

Wearing a Colorado Rockies Todd Helton jersey over a black shirt, matching shorts and a backward hat, Wallen abruptly stood up mid-performance and finishing the song a cappella and then went back and pushed the piano over. “Sand In My Boots” topped Billboard’s Country Airplay chart in February 2022.

Fans seemed to embrace the candid moment, with many praising Wallen’s solo vocal performance in the comments section of an Instagram post featuring fan-captured footage of the incident.

“No piano needed..give it up!! Sound better without it!!” one person wrote. “Imagine he’s giving us this beautiful Acapella solo and all he’s thinking about is pushing that pos piano over,” another commented “This man doesn’t need any background music when he is unplugged. He is the ultimate a acappella singer,” a third commented.

As has become tradition on the tour, the “Last Night” singer opened Friday’s show with a walkout appearance alongside legendary Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway.

The concert also featured opening performances from Brooks & Dunn, Gavin Adcock and Zach John King.

Wallen is set to return to Empower Field at Mile High for a second Denver performance on Saturday (May 30). After that, he’ll head to Pittsburgh for back-to-back shows at Acrisure Stadium on June 5-6. The singer currently has multiple U.S. stadium dates scheduled through August.

Wallen is touring in support of his latest studio album, I’m the Problem, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in May 2025. The project went on to spend 13 nonconsecutive weeks atop the chart.

President Donald Trump on Saturday (May 30) branded the federal judge who blocked his renovation of the Kennedy Center as “an anti Trump Hater” and predicted that the nation’s premier performing arts center he wanted to shutter for a two-year overhaul will “soon be closed, probably never to open again.”

In a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform, Trump fumed about the Friday decision from U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who also ordered Trump’s name removed from the center. Clearly angered by his latest legal setback, Trump said it was “impossible for me to be treated fairly,” tying Cooper’s ruling to earlier losses, including the Supreme Court’s rejection in February of his sweeping tariffs.

His post aimed to make the case for the project but did not clarify whether he would continue to defend it in court. Hours after Cooper’s decision, Trump said he was backing away from the renovations and making arrangements to relinquish control to Congress of what, until the Republican president’s second term, had been known as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

The White House did not immediately clarify his position or say whether he would keep serving as the center’s board chairman.

Trump’s earlier post signaling a retreat from the center gave hope to artists who had been alienated by his takeover, said Norm Eisen, a former White House ethics lawyer who is involved in a lawsuit challenging Trump’s Kennedy Center plans.

“I have already heard from artists and from audience members alike who are excited about the Kennedy Center returning to non-partisan normality,” Eisen told The Associated Press in a text message on Saturday. “It’s early days yet but as and when the court’s order is implemented, including Trump’s name coming off the building and the Board otherwise complying with the law, I’m optimistic that the Center will begin the long journey back.”

Trump cites judge’s wife

Without offering evidence, Trump suggested that Cooper’s wife, lawyer Amy Jeffress, was to blame in part for the ruling. The president noted that Jeffress, a partner at the Hecker Fink law firm, is a former federal prosecutor who served as a counselor to Attorney General Eric Holder during the administration of Democratic President Barack Obama. Cooper was nominated for the bench by Obama.

Trump also noted that Hecker Fink is representing former President Joe Biden in a lawsuit against the Department of Justice to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts from the Democrat’s interviews with a ghostwriter that were obtained in an investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents from his time as a senator and as vice president.

Trump asserted that the Kennedy Center, named for the late Democratic president and opened in 1971, was “rusted, rotted, and rat and bug infested” and that the ”new Building would have been incomparable.”

Cooper said in his ruling that the center board’s March 16 vote to close the venue was “ill-informed and seemingly preordained” with no regard for its legal obligations. The administration had announced the work would begin in July and last approximately two years. Cooper’s ruling halts those plans for now.

The judge also found that the board “overstepped its statutory bounds” by adding Trump’s name to the center. Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it, he said. Cooper ordered that Trump’s name be removed within two weeks.

President defends adding name to the center

Trump on Saturday said it was the board, not him, that added the Trump name to the center. “They thought it would be good for this dying Institution,” he wrote.

Shortly after returning to office in January 2025, he ousted the center’s previous leadership and replaced it with a handpicked board of trustees that named him chairman.

Cooper held hearings in late April for parallel lawsuits challenging the project. One lawsuit was filed by a group of cultural and historic preservation organizations. The other was brought by Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who serves as an ex officio member of the board through her position in Congress. He ruled in favor of Beatty’s request but rejected the other challenge.

Trump, in his post, also noted that Jeffress’ firm represented E. Jean Carroll, the longtime advice columnist whose claims against Trump won her a $5 million award in 2023 for sexual abuse and defamation after a jury agreed that Trump sexually abused her in a New York department store dressing room in 1996. Another jury in 2024 awarded Carroll an additional $83 million for defamation. Both awards are under appeal.

Jeffress did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Is Taylor Swift involved in Toy Story 5? Fans are beginning to wonder after a mysterious “TS” billboard promoting the upcoming film appeared to offer some clues.

On Friday (May 29), a cryptic billboard featuring the initials “TS” were unveiled against the Disney/Pixar franchise’s iconic blue sky and white cloud backdrop. Swifties quickly took notice, with eagle-eyed fans counting 13 clouds on the display and speculating that the number could be a nod to Swift’s famously lucky number.

“13 clouds and ‘TS’? one fan wrote on X. “Swifties know that can’t be a coincidence. The theories are about to go crazy.”

Speculation intensified on Saturday (May 30) when Pixar shared an image of the billboard on social media, accompanied by an image of Toy Story character Jessie showing off some dance moves atop the outdoor display.

“She’s making those moves up as she goes!” Pixar captioned the Instagram post, a line that many fans interpreted as a lyrical reference to Swift’s 2014 hit “Shake It Off.”

“I’m dancin’ on my own (dancin’ on my own)/ I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go),” Swift sings on the track, which spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

“SHAKE IT OFF REFERENCE, TAY STORY IS HAPPENING!!!” one Swiftie wrote in the comments.

“A NEW TAYLOR SWIFT SONG IN TOY STORY 5 IS ACTUALLY THE CURE TO HEAL MILLENNIALS,” another added.

“THE DISNEY SWIFTIE ADULTS ARE LIVING FOR THIS!!!” a third commented.

Adding to the intrigue, the cover art for 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming platforms appeared to have been updated at press time, with the original seagulls in the background replaced by clouds.

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

Earlier this week, Pixar announced that Bad Bunny has joined the voice cast of Toy Story 5 as a character named “Pizza with Sunglasses.”

The upcoming installment reunites several longtime franchise favorites, including Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear and Joan Cusack as Jessie. The animated movie follows the toys as they confront modern technology and compete for Bonnie’s attention against a high-tech device named Lilypad.

Toy Story 5 is scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 19.

Killswitch Engage have added a second Melbourne show to their 2026 Australian and New Zealand tour after the first date sold out in under two weeks — the latest sign that demand for the Massachusetts metalcore veterans is as strong as ever in a region they haven’t headlined since 2018.

The new show at the Forum falls on Monday, Nov. 9 — the night before the already-sold-out Nov. 10 date. Tickets for the added show and all remaining tour dates are available now via SBM Presents.

The run marks Killswitch Engage’s first headline tour of Australia and New Zealand since 2018 and their first visit to the region since September 2024, when they opened for Iron Maiden. British metal outfit Sylosis join as special guests across all dates — the Reading, England act made their Australian debut at Soundwave in 2013, returned for their first headline tour of the country in 2025, and arrive this time on the back of their latest album The New Flesh, released in February 2026.

The tour supports This Consequence, Killswitch Engage’s ninth studio album, released in February 2025 and their first since Atonement in 2019. Its lead single “I Believe” became the band’s first song to crack the top 10 of the U.S. Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, peaking at No. 4 and marking a commercial milestone for a group whose fanbase has remained loyal across more than two decades without ever fully crossing into mainstream radio territory.

Formed in Westfield, Massachusetts in 1999, Killswitch Engage are widely credited as one of the architects of modern metalcore — a genre that has since spawned generations of bands and remains one of the most commercially viable corners of heavy music. Their 2002 debut Alive or Just Breathing, recorded with then-vocalist Jesse Leach, is still considered a genre landmark. The End of Heartache (2004) — recorded with Howard Jones, who had replaced Leach — debuted at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold by the RIAA. Disarm the Descent (2013) — their first album with Leach back on vocals after Jones departed in 2012 — debuted at No. 7, and Incarnate (2016) reached No. 6, their career-best Billboard 200 position to date. Across their career they have earned three Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance — in 2005, 2014 and 2019 — and accumulated billions of streams, while sharing stages with Iron Maiden, Slayer, Slipknot, Mastodon, My Chemical Romance and Parkway Drive.

The Melbourne sellout continues a strong run of momentum for the band in Australia, where metalcore has long maintained a dedicated and vocal live following. With one Forum show already gone and the second expected to move quickly, fans in other cities are advised to secure tickets soon.

BABYMETAL have released “from me to u (Jordan Fish Remix),” the second preview from their forthcoming METAL FORTH (DELUXE EDITION), due June 26 via Capitol Records.

Fish — keyboardist and producer best known for his decade-long tenure with Bring Me The Horizon — delivers the latest reworking of “from me to u (feat. Poppy),” following a Major Lazer remix released last month.

The deluxe edition expands the original METAL FORTH with three live performances and both remixes, and will be available digitally and on a limited zoetrope vinyl pressing that brings ten album icons to life in motion.

The release arrives alongside news of BABYMETAL’s 2026 World Tour, spanning North America and Latin America. The North American leg launches on Aug. 30 in San Diego, where the band will open for My Chemical Romance, before headlining their own run with support from Halestorm and Violent Vira. In Latin America, the band will play their first-ever stadium show in Mexico City, supported by I Prevail and Bilmuri. Tickets are on sale now.

METAL FORTH debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 upon its release last year, marking the group’s first U.S. top 10 album and the first time in history that an all-Japanese fronted act has broken into that tier of the chart. The album moved 36,000 equivalent album units in its first week — of which 33,500 were pure album sales — amassed over 200 million global streams, debuted at No. 10 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut U.S. chart, and landed at No. 2 on the U.S. iTunes Download Album chart.

Internationally, it reached the top 10 in Germany — a career-best, improving on No. 24 for THE OTHER ONE and No. 18 for METAL GALAXY — and broke the top 20 in the U.K., with career-high positions also recorded in the Netherlands and France.

Formed in Tokyo in 2010, BABYMETAL — fronted by SU-METAL, MOAMETAL and MOMOMETAL — built their following through explosive live shows before breaking internationally, opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn and Lady Gaga en route to becoming one of the most distinctive and widely followed acts in global metal.
