Elsewhere, Barack Obama and Dave Chapelle helped induct Jay-Z into the Hall while Taylor Swift paid tribute to Carole King with a live performance of the iconic singer-songwriter’s track ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow?’

Paul McCartney also inducted the Foo Fighters and performed The Beatles’ ‘Get Back’ with the band.

LL Cool J marked his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last night with a medley of his songs, including a surprise appearance by Eminem for ‘Rock The Bells’.

Earlier in the evening, Pharrell Williams inducted Kraftwerk into the hall. In his speech, he said: “When Afrika Bambaataa reached into a crate of records and found Kraftwerk and funnelled that sound into ‘Planet Rock,’ that’s when millions of hip-hop fans around the world, including myself, heard Kraftwerk’s infectious beats and alien vocals for the very first time.”

He added that their music “was unlike anything the world had never heard. It was truly a seismic moment for music, as we know it.”

Recently, it was revealed that Turner had sole the rights to her back catalogue in a new deal with BMG that is reportedly worth more than $300million (£225m).

Kanye West has put his fleet of cars at his Wyoming home on the market, according to reports.

As stated in TMZ, West, who is now legally named Ye, six of West’s vehicles are now open for bidding at Musser Bros. Auction.

It states that the vehicles up for auction are: “a 2016 F-350, a 2017 F-250, a 2018 F-150 Raptor, a 2019 F-150 Raptor, a XLT Max edition 2020 Ford Expedition and a Limited Stealth edition 2020 Ford Expedition.”

It comes just weeks after West put his Wyoming ranch on the market for a reported $11million (£8.4 million).

Meanwhile, West announced a special Halloween Sunday Service livestream, taking place later today (October 31).

The rapper posted the news to his Instagram earlier today. It will stream here on Triller and the Fite TV app, which are the same streaming platforms that host the VERZUZ rap battles, at 3pm ET (7pm GMT).

The last time Ye appeared with his Sunday Service choir, which first emerged in the run-up to the release of his ninth studio album ‘Jesus Is King‘ (2019), was in April for DMX’s memorial service.

He also worked with the choir on his most recent album, ‘DONDA‘, which hears “gospel flourishing scattered across the record – most notably beautifully harmonising with The Weeknd on ‘Hurricane’”, as NME noted in a talking points article.

In other news, West’s ‘DONDA’ stem player has finally been unveiled and it comes with three extra songs.

The device, which was made available to order back in August at $200 (£145), allows users to manipulate songs using the player by separating parts of the compositions and tweaking the sounds. Among the features is the ability to “control vocals, drums, bass, and samples” and “split any song into stems.”

Drake’s Certified Lover Boy returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Nov. 6) for a fifth nonconsecutive week on top, as the set rebounds from No. 2. It earned 74,000 equivalent album units (down 10%) in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 28, according to MRC Data.

Plus, Lana Del Rey’s Blue Banisters debuts at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, marking her eighth top 10 album, and Elton John’s The Lockdown Sessions launches at No. 10, starting as his 21st top 10 and granting him a span of over 50 years of appearing in the chart’s top tier.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new, Nov. 6, 2021-dated chart (on which Certified returns to No. 1) will post in full on billboard.com Nov. 2. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Certified’s 74,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 28, SEA units comprise 73,000 (down 10%, equaling 99.9 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs); album sales account for less than 1,000 (down 21%); and TEA units also contribute less than 1,000 (down 9%).

Notably, the set matches the total weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 of Drake’s prior proper LP, Scorpion, in 2018. Of his 10 No. 1s, the two trail only the reign of Views, which spent 13 weeks at the summit in 2016.

Morgan Wallen’s former 10-week Billboard 200 No. 1 Dangerous: The Double Album pushes 8-2 with 42,000 equivalent album units earned (up 1%); Doja Cat’s Planet Her climbs 7-3 (41,000, down 1%); YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s former one-week leader Sincerely, Kentrell lifts 6-4 (39,000, down 11%); and Olivia Rodrigo’s five-frame topper Sour ascends 9-5 (38,000, down 5%).

Moneybagg Yo’s former two-week Billboard 200 No. 1 A Gangsta’s Pain zooms 34-6, up 128% to 36,000 units following an expanded reissue Oct. 22 with seven additional tracks.

Young Thug’s Punk drops to No. 7 a week after debuting atop the Billboard 200 (34,000, down 62%).

Lana Del Rey achieves her eighth Billboard 200 top 10, and her second of 2021, as Blue Banisters steps in at No. 8 with 33,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 19,000; SEA units total 14,000 (equaling 18.6 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs); and TEA units make for a nominal sum.

Del Rey visited the Billboard 200 top 10 earlier this year with Chemtrails Over the Country Club, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the April 3-dated chart. All told, Blue Banisters is Del Rey’s eighth consecutive, and total, top 10. After her only charting effort to miss the bracket, her self-titled set which reached No. 20 in January 2012, she began her active top 10 streak with Born to Die, which opened and peaked at No. 2 in February 2012.

Lil Nas X’s Montero rises 10-9 on the Billboard 200 with 33,000 units, down 8%.

Rounding out the Billboard 200’s top 10, Elton John lands his 21st top 10 album, as his all-star, all-collaborative release The Lockdown Sessions debuts at No. 10 with 29,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 17,000; SEA units total 10,000 (equaling 13.1 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs); and TEA units account for 2,000.

Lockdown includes John’s latest top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hit, “Cold Heart” (Pnau Remix), with Dua Lipa, as well as collaborations with a variety of artists, including Young Thug and Nicki Minaj (“Always Love You”), Charlie Puth (“After All”), Eddie Vedder (“E-Ticket”), Stevie Wonder (“Finish Line”) and Stevie Nicks (“Stolen Car”).

John notched his first Billboard 200 top 10 over 50 years ago, when his self-titled album climbed 11-7 on the Jan. 30, 1971-dated chart; it peaked at No. 4 a week later (Feb. 6, 1971). (Breaking down his 21 top 10s by decade: 13 in the ’70s, two in the ’90s, one in the ’00s, four in the ’10s and now one in the ’20s.)

John is in the select group of acts with at least 20 top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, from March 24, 1956, when the list began publishing on a regular, weekly basis, through the new, Nov. 6, 2021, survey. Here’s an updated leaderboard.

Most Billboard 200 Top 10s:
37, The Rolling Stones
34, Barbra Streisand
32, The Beatles
32, Frank Sinatra
27, Elvis Presley
23, Bob Dylan
22, Madonna
21, Elton John
21, Paul McCartney/Wings
21, Bruce Springsteen
21, George Strait
20, Prince

(The Kidz Bop Kids music brand has collected 24 top 10s, in 2005-16, with its series of kid-friendly covers of hit singles. The franchise’s early albums were performed mostly by anonymous studio singers, although later releases focused on branding named talent.)

With October having passed, there’s only a few more weeks left of Fall. And as Winter rolls in, Nike is quickly unveiling their upcoming offerings, which include this season-appropriate Air Huarache.

An ode to the icy weather ahead, the pair steps first with a bright blue. The tone dresses the leather overlays along the side and toe as well as the synthetic that lies immediately underneath. A snowy white is used adjacent, complementing the core theme via the midsole, heel piece, and the tongue/collar. A black neutral, then, rounds out the colorway across the logos, tread, and part of the insole’s “International” insignia.

Enjoy a close-up look at these below and sit tight as we await word on their Nike.com and retailer release.

There was no other way to end an insane weekend full of music, mosh pits, surprise moments and more than having the king of Rolling Loud, Travis Scott, close out day three on Saturday (Oct. 30) at Citi Field in Queen, New York. The last time LaFlame hit the Rolling Loud stage in the Big Apple, he blew out his knee and finished the show on one leg in 2019. It was a courageous effort, but Scott knew he needed to redeem himself and run that one back.

At around 9 p.m., a video began playing at the DeLeon stage, showing an animated Scott seemingly asleep with all sorts of tubes sticking out of him. The camera zoomed into his eyes before a giant curtain fell, revealing the Houston rapper standing on top of an elevated platform and going right into the unreleased “Escape Plan.”

Scott ran through a medley of hits that took Rolling Loud to the Rodeo and through Astroworld with songs such as “Mamacita,” “Butterfly Effect,” “Stargazing,” “90210” and more. Fans could barely keep their excitement in check as Scott began to rage — and he wasn’t going to let a single body be unmoved by his infectious energy. At one point, the rapper saw two festival-goers having a hard time with security in the front row and allowed them to get on stage.

With the situation in the crowd getting aggressive, Scott reminded security the kids are here for one thing only, and that’s to rage. He would make sure that would happen, too, as the haunting introduction for Owl Pharaoh standout “Upper Echelon” crept through the speakers at DeLeon. Without a word, Travis instructed the two fans to stage dive into the audience, and once they did, 80,000-plus people roared with approval.

Scott previewed another unreleased track off Utopia, which had the Rolling Loud faithful begging the 30-year-old hip-hop artist to drop the highly-anticipated album. Despite still waiting, Travis’ Rolling Loud set gave fans a satisfying preview of the energy he’s embracing on the new album.

Rolling Loud day three ended with Cactus Jack sending fans home with an intense fireworks display to Scott’s biggest hits, “SICKO MODE” and “Goosebumps.” A night full of raging turned into one of redemption for Scott, who took in all the love he was getting from the crowd on Saturday night.

Other highlights from Saturday’s finale include Griselda Records shutting down the Audiomack stage with an impressive display of lyricism and Roddy Ricch claiming he’s done with Rolling Loud. Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, Benny the Butcher and Armani Caesar brought a taste of the gritty Buffalo streets to Citi Field as each rapper destroyed their performance with their respective hits.

Roddy Ricch, on the other hand, was not happy with festival organizers cutting his microphone off at the end of his set. The West Coast rapper attempted to give fans a booming rendition of his smash hit “The Box,” but the audio cut off, causing fans to cheer on Roddy’s name. He returned to perform the song but notified the crowd that this might be his last Rolling Loud after organizers sabotaged his set.

Rolling Loud returned to the city that never sleeps to give fans another great weekend full of moments they’ll be holding on to until the next time hip-hop’s biggest festival touches down in Citi Field in 2022. Up next is Rolling Loud California, which will be taking place December 10-13 at the National Orange Show Event Center in San Bernardino.

Kid Cudi, J. Cole and Future will be closing out the three nights with other performances by Playboi Carti, Wiz Khalifa, Don Toliver, Young Thug and more throughout the weekend.

It’s officially the last day of October and while most people are celebrating Halloween, we are curious to know what was the best Latin collaboration of the month, according to our readers.

Every month, Billboard highlights all the collaborations featured on our weekly First Stream Latin and compiles them in a fan-based poll.

The new poll includes 11 collabs that were released in October including Anitta and Saweetie’s Brazilian funk “Faking Love,” C. Tangana and Nathy Peluso’s bachata “Ateo,” and Camilo and Evaluna’s hazy pop song/pregnancy reveal “Indigo,” to name a few.

Last month, Sofia Reyes and Becky G took the crown with “Mal de Amores” racking up over 35% of the votes, followed by Christian Nodal’s “La Sinverguenza” with Banda MS.

The previous winning collaborations are Sebastian Yatra and Jhay Cortez’s “Delincuente” (August); Enrique Iglesias and Farruko’s “Me Pasé” (July); Nobeat and Khea’s “Medio Crazy” (June); J Balvin and Maria Becerra’s “Que Mas Pues” (May); Sebastian Yatra and Myke Towers’ “Pareja del Año” (April); Danny Ocean and Justin Quiles’ “Cuantas Veces” (March); VF7 and Lunay’s “Codigo Secreto” (February); and Maria Becerra, Cazzu, “Animal” (January).

Which song should take the crown in October? Vote below!

With his Nike SB signature, Shane O’Neill seems to put a huge emphasis on simplicity. Many of the currently stocked colorways are neutral-dominant, dressed in hits of cream, grey, and the like. But here, the shoe takes a slightly different direction as it adds loud paisley print to the back heel.

The graphic, which wraps from the midfoot around to the opposite side, sprawls in greyscale, its floral motifs exploring all ends of the tonal spectrum. This, while a breath of fresh air for the line-up as a whole, is short-lived as the rest of the construction opts for solid black suedes, a full white midsole, and equally color-bereft co-branding.

Enjoy a close-up look at these below via the official images. Sizes should hit Nike.com and select shops soon.

Kanye West’s Sunday Service is back. The 44-year-old rapper and fashion mogul, who recently changed his name to Ye, announced Sunday morning (Oct. 31) that his gospel group will return just in time for Halloween.

In a post on Instagram, West wrote that the livestream will begin at 12 p.m. PT/3 p.m. ET on the Triller app and FITE TV. Further details about the upcoming Sunday Service were not provided.

This will mark Ye’s first Sunday Service since the release of his latest album, Donda, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in September. The rapper has held numerous Sunday Services over the years, including epic gatherings in Los Angeles, Chicago, Jamaica, New York, Detroit, Houston and Washington, D.C., among others.

Named after the rapper’s mother, who died in 2007, Donda arrived nearly two years after his ninth studio album, Jesus Is King, which also topped the Billboard 200. The 27-track Donda, released to streaming services and digital retailers on Aug. 29, includes guest turns by the likes of Chris Brown, DaBaby, Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Lil Durk, Marilyn Manson, Roddy Ricch and The Weeknd.

Anticipation for Donda was fueled by three huge ticketed listening events held between July and August, all of which were livestreamed by Apple Music.

See Ye’s Sunday Service post below.

Hot off the heels of Halloween, the sneaker industry is taking a slight break. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing worth copping, though, as we can expect releases from Patta, thisisneverthat, COMME des GARCONS, and many others.

Things only start to pick up the pace on Wednesday. First, Nike will drop sustainable versions of the Dunk High and Low, giving them the “Toasty” and “Next Nature” treatment, respectively. Jordan Brand makes an appearance as well, ushering back in the Air Jordan Womens OG. Closing us out is more than a number of EQTs, all one part of a large 30th Anniversary pack.

On Thursday, thisisneverthat makes another cameo in the world of sneakers, providing their expertise atop the Chuck 70 and the One Star. Patta joins the conversation as well, stealing the week in its alluring “Noise Aqua” colorway. And though bright, the runner still holds no candle to the also releasing Air Jordan 14 Low, which dyes its hairy suede a bright and bold pink.

All of the collaborations come out to play on Friday. But first, the Dunk Low “Georgetown” and Air Jordan 4 “Wild Things” make their debut. COMME des GARCONS then come out with their Zen Foamposite, Saquon Barkley gives us his own Air Trainer 3, the Midwest Kids take home the Forum Low, and BBC adds their moon man to the NMD Hu.

The War On Drugs have debuted three songs from their new album ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore‘ live for the first time.

READ MORE: The War On Drugs – ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’ review: a soul-stirring epic

Adam Granduciel, who fronts the band, played ‘Occasional Rain’, ‘Old Skin’ and new single ‘Change‘ for CBS This Morning yesterday (October 30) with his group.

The band’s new record was released on Friday (October 29) via Atlantic and was previously been teased by its title track, which followed on from the LP’s first single ‘Living Proof’.

In a recent interview with NME Granduciel discussed the idea of growth and acceptance.

He said: “I think there’s an affirmation almost in understanding you’re not perfect. Nobody is. you understand that you may be flawed, but you also understand what is true and important and at the end of the day only certain things really matter.”

Granduciel also talked about how having his first child affected working on new music. “Watching my son twist knobs, plug stuff in, play synths or harmonica – it made me realise that this was something I was passing down,” he said.

“It reminded me that at any level the music should be filled with wonder. I was filled with that myself trying to get to the heart of a song on this record. When you find it, it excites you and you can’t stop thinking about it.”

In a five-star review of the album, NME‘s Rhys Buchanan wrote that “Granduciel has never bought into the mythology that comes with rock stardom” but “this is a triumphant ode to his genre”.

The War On Drugs will tour ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’ in the UK and Ireland in April 2022 – find tickets here.

KISS appear to have cancelled their forthcoming residency in Las Vegas, which was due to begin in December.

The hard rock veterans announced earlier this year that they would be taking to the stage at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort & Casino from December 27 until February 2022. It would follow a previous run at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel And Casino in 2014.

Now, it appears that the run will no longer take place, with ticket links from Caesars Entertainment and Ticketmaster appearing to no longer be active. Fans who purchased tickets via Ticketmaster have been notified that the shows are cancelled.

KISS have not made an official statement regarding the shows yet, though a spokesperson for the Zappos Theater told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that ticketholders will be notified of how to receive a refund by their ticket provider.

In the same article, the Review-Journal‘s John Katsilometes said that “soft ticket sales” are reportedly to blame for the shows being cancelled.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about KISS’ return to Las Vegas earlier this year, bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons explained: “There are matters of the heart and then there are matters of the pocket and it’s nice when they both converge. So it’s a very nice payday.

“[The shows] pay well and that’s reason enough. But it’s also easier for the band because you don’t have the wear and tear of travelling.”

Simmons also revealed that the performances will be a scaled-down version of the band’s usual high-production gigs. “Anything that’s got a roof on it, we have to scale back the pyro or we’ll blow the roof off, literally,” he said. “But we are planning lots of surprises for Vegas, which nobody’s seen yet. We’re in the middle of putting that together.”

KISS recently resumed the US leg of their mammoth ‘End Of The Road’ world tour, having postponed the dates due to the coronavirus pandemic.
