Bon Jovi Earns A Brand New Top 10 Hit Single

Bon Jovi Earns A Brand New Top 10 Hit Single

Forbes17-04-2025
Bon Jovi's latest single 'Now or Never' has turned out to be something of a surprise hit. Throughout 2025, the collaboration – powered by Pitbull and built around a familiar Bon Jovi hook—has spent months climbing various Billboard charts, dipping here and there but always finding a way to rebound, at least so far. Just when it looked like the collaboration might be on its way out, it pulls off an unexpected feat: a brand new peak on a particularly competitive list.
'Now or Never' hits a new high on the Hot Dance/Electronic/Pop Songs chart. The genre-blending cut lifts from No. 13 to No. 9, becoming a top 10 hit for the very first time on Billboard's recently-introduced tally that ranks the most popular tunes that combine pop with dance and electronic elements.
The rise of 'Now or Never' marks a career milestone for both of the stars involved. The track is now the first top 10 hit for Bon Jovi and Pitbull on the Hot Dance/Electronic/Pop Songs chart. That's not really surprising, though, since the list is only a few months old.
Just one week ago, 'Now or Never' returned to the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart after falling off entirely. The cut re-entered at No. 13, narrowly finding space on the 15-spot roster. Before that, it had climbed as high as No. 11, and more than once.
While its most exciting placement this frame is its new top 10 finish on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs list, 'Now or Never' is also performing well on several other Billboard charts. The tune holds steady at No. 12 on the Adult Pop Airplay tally, just one spot shy of its peak on that radio-focused roster.
Elsewhere, the title's experience is something of a mixed bag. The track slips to No. 13 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart and falls to No. 30 on the Pop Airplay list.
'Now or Never' is part of a recent trend by Pitbull, who's been crafting modern EDM-laced anthems using nostalgic melodies from earlier hits. For this cut, he borrows the chorus of 'It's My Life,' one of Bon Jovi's most recognizable tunes, and transforms it into something new. The end result is a high-energy, club-ready single that repackages a rock staple for a different generation of listeners, and it's resonating with Americans.

Josh Hutcherson Is Pretty Obsessed With Dogs And Hopes You'll Adopt One

When Josh Hutcherson was 18, he fell in love with a pit bull puppy named Driver. The actor adopted the pittie from the nonprofit Angel City Pit Bulls and within a year, started acting in the first 'Hunger Games' movie. Driver, now 13, has been a constant companion as Hutcherson's career exploded. 'It's crazy going through so much of life together,' Hutcherson, 32, said. 'Since the day I met Driver, he was just the most happy, open, joyful, deep soul of a dog. He's just the absolute best. His eyes are just pools of knowledge that I'm trying to gleam something from.' Because Driver has always been friendly with other dogs, Hutcherson adopted another pittie named Manchi four years ago. Within a week the dogs were cuddling and became best friends. 'Somebody was fostering Manchi's whole litter because the litter got abandoned and they all had pneumonia and some didn't make it. I wanted to take them all, but I chose Manchi because he was the littlest runt and weirdest. I was like, 'This guy's got a good vibe,'' he said. 'Manchi is this very odd, kind of shy, but so sweet and loving boy. He has a 1,000-yard stare, which I absolutely love. Sometimes I'll just sit by the fireplace, and we'll just make eye contact and not look away for minutes on end.' Helping Clear The Shelters With his love of shelter dogs, Hutcherson felt it was a 'dream scenario' to partner with Hill's Pet Nutrition to visit adoptable pets yesterday at Pasadena Humane — the nonprofit shelter that took in over 1,500 pets displaced by January's Southern California wildfires — as part of NBCUniversal Local's Clear The Shelters campaign. Clear The Shelters aims to increase shelter adoptions and donations throughout August. 'The reason why I wanted to be a part of this campaign is there are so many amazing dogs and cats and critters at shelters all over the country that need homes,' he said. 'I know from my experience, I'm two for two and they're even better than I could ever have dreamt.' He loved meeting 'every single' dog and cat at Pasadena Humane. He bonded with a pit bull mix named Lula with 'ice blue eyes and great energy' and a possible Rottweiler mix named Finn. Big dogs linger longer than smaller dogs or cats in shelters — they stay nearly twice as long as they did in 2019 — and only 25% of people surveyed in the 2025 Hill's State of Shelter Pet Adoption Report said they will likely adopt a dog weighing over 55 pounds in the future. 'I think some people feel like if they don't have a big house, they can't have a big dog, and that's just oftentimes not the case,' he said. 'I know Great Danes, one of the largest breeds, don't actually need a lot of space. They're happy in small apartments.' His own big dogs get a walk every day but then are content lounging around and following him from room to room. 'They won't leave my side,' he said. 'I think big dogs are amazing. I've always had big dogs, from boxers to Labs to pit mixes, and every dog I've had has been 50-plus pounds and I just love them. There's something about their big bodies that when you're cuddling them, it's just this massive animal that you have this bond with that's so incredible.' Josh Hutcherson's Feline Connection Visiting Pasadena Humane also reminded Hutcherson of his love for cats. He grew up with cats named Paws, Walter Aloysuis Zimmerfloss the Third, and Jell-O. 'Jell-O was a big old girl,' he said with a grin. 'Her name was very appropriate.' At Pasadena Humane, he loved meeting kittens as well as a cat named Catnip with no boundaries. 'As soon as I held Catnip, she crawled up on my shoulder and perched on top of my shoulders. It was the cutest thing,' he said. 'It was great to reconnect with my feline side.' A History With Animals On And Off The Screen In addition to personal pets, Hutcherson enjoyed bonding with the canine actors on the set of 'Miracle Dogs,' his first movie, which he starred in as a 9-year-old. 'My entire life, every time I'm around dogs just makes me more in love with dogs. I've worked with dogs multiple times and they're so impressive. A trained movie dog is wildly impressive,' he said. 'My favorite things in the world: making movies and dogs. They should make more movies with adults and dogs, not just kids and dogs. I'm going to push for that genre.' Some of his favorite canine characters include Baxter in 'Anchorman' — 'That was a top-notch performance' — and the dog who starred in 'The Artist.' 'There are some great dog actors out there,' he said. Though Hutcherson believes his own dogs aren't cut out for the big screen, other shelter dogs are. Recently a shelter dog named Sparrow stole hearts with a cameo in 'Superman,' and Krypto the Superdog is based on the director's rescue dog, Ozu. As part of Clear The Shelters, potential adopters can search by ZIP code for nearby shelter pets at with filters for breed, size, gender and other preferences. People who aren't ready to permanently adopt a furry family member can consider fostering, volunteering or donating to help shelters nationwide, Hutcherson noted. 'If you can't adopt or you want to see how it feels, fostering is a great step,' he said. 'There's a lot of things you can do to be a part of the movement of giving some love to these animals.'

Queer Jams of the Week: New Music From Chappell Roan, Reneé Rapp, Demi Lovato & More

In need of some new tunes from your favorite queer artists? We've got you covered. Billboard Pride is proud to present the latest edition of Queer Jams of the Week, our roundup of some of the best new music releases from LGBTQ+ artists. From Chappell Roan's long-awaited new(ish) ballad to Reneé Rapp's rowdy new album, check out just a few of our favorite releases from this week below: More from Billboard Best Festival Gear: What to Buy for Lollapalooza & Other Concerts This Summer WWE SummerSlam 2025: How to Watch the Two-Night Pro Wrestling Event Live Online Wrangler Goes All-Terrain With Latest Apparel Collection Backed by Country Star Tucker Wetmore Chappell Roan, 'The Subway' After more than a year of patience from fans, Chappell Roan is finally ready to offer them a ride on 'The Subway.' The plaintive ballad paints a vivid picture of Roan mid-heartbreak, as she recounts the mundane tale of seeing an ex on the train and going into a full-blown spiral of Big Feelings™. It's easy to see why fans have wanted a full studio version of the song — the dreamy guitars end up pairing perfectly with Roan's ethereal vocal, as she pines for the day her former flame becomes 'just another girl on the subway.' Reneé Rapp, Bite Me Reneé Rapp is ready for a switch-up. Where her excellent 2023 album Snow Angel saw the singer getting vulnerable about the hard realities surrounding her, Bite Me, her raucous new album, sees her disengaging from the hardships and opting to have fun instead. Over pop, rock, and R&B-tinged tracks, Rapp revels in sex ('Kiss It, Kiss It'), parties ('Good Girl'), and petty breakups ('That's So Funny'), all while giving some of her best vocal performances to date. The pathos and angst from Snow Angel is still present throughout, but as Rapp herself sings in the back half of the album: 'If I can't be happy, then at least I'm hot.' Demi Lovato, 'Fast' Everyone, please welcome back Demi Lovato, Pop Star. After zigging and zagging into adult contemporary and hard rock on her last few albums, the singer steps firmly back into the pop space with 'Fast,' their new dance-fueled banger. Plinking synths litter the background of the new track, alongside a beat that slowly ratchets up until bursting into an electric symphony on the chorus. But as usual, the standout on 'Fast' is Lovato's inimitable voice, as she flexes the power and versatility of her own instrument throughout this delirious new single. Slayyyter, 'Beat Up Chanel$' If Lovato's new song hasn't quite slaked your need for a high-octane new club track, then Slayyyter's should get the job done. Over a crunchy industrial beat, Slayyyter works her way through a nightlife scene packed with 'sex, money, drugs, chains on my chest, vintage Celine' and just about everything else you can hope to encounter. But she's not interested in the opulence of the scene, as suggested in both the lyrics and grimy production — Slayyyter's on a mission to find the filthy underbelly of the club. And with a track like 'Beat Up Chanel$,' she's sure to find it. Debby Friday, The Starrr of the Queen of Life After spending much of her career sowing chaos into dance tracks, Debby Friday is having an introspective moment. The Starrr of the Queen of Life finds the underground dance star still firmly situated in the club, but this time she's ready to tackle some more existential questions about her personal life ('Alberta') and about life itself ('Arcadia'), all while still providing some of her most fascinating production to date. Adam Lambert, 'Heaven on Their Minds' (Jesus Christ Superstar cover) Leave it to Adam Lambert to make a 55-year-old rock opera song sound new and vital again. Ahead of his performance this weekend in the Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar alongside Cynthia Erivo, Lambert shared his rendition of the show's opening number 'Heaven on Their Minds,' letting his stratospheric voice go as far as it can. You can also hear his acting in the role of Judas throughout, as the performer brings a sense of desperation and panic to this rollicking new rendition.

Zach Bryan's New Single Launches Inside The Top 10 On Multiple Charts

Zach Bryan has released more than half a dozen singles in 2025 alone, and it's not yet clear how many of them will be included on his upcoming project. What is apparent is that his latest single, "Madeline,' a duet with relatively unknown musician Gabriella Rose, is another quick smash for the singer-songwriter, one that returns him to the highest tiers on several Billboard rankings. 'Madeline' Opens Inside the Top 10 "Madeline" launches on more than half a dozen tallies in the United States this week. The tune opens inside the top 10 on three of them, thanks primarily to its quick popularity on streaming platforms. Bryan's duet with Rose opens highest, at No. 8, on the Hot Rock Songs chart. It comes in just one spot beneath that slot on the Rock Streaming Songs list, and at No. 10 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs tally. A Milestone New Smash Bryan earns his milestone thirtieth top 10 hit on the Hot Rock Songs chart as "Madeline" debuts. He only needs one more win within the same region on the Rock Streaming Songs list to reach the same landmark there as well. Meanwhile, the newly-shared collaboration marks his twenty-sixth top 10 smash on Billboard's ranking of the most consumed rock and alternative tracks in the nation. Zach Bryan's Many, Many Rock Hits When looking at his total number of placements on these three lists, there's a greater variation when compared to his top 10 successes. Bryan has now scored 47 hits on the Rock Streaming Songs ranking, while he's up to 80 on the Hot Rock Songs list, and two more on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs tally. Zach Bryan Almost Reaches the Country Top 10 "Madeline" comes close to the top 10 on a trio of country rankings, but doesn't perform quite as well as it does on the rock-leaning charts. The track misses the highest tier on the Hot Country Songs, Country Streaming Songs, and Country Digital Song Sales lists by just a few spaces. The tune also opens at No. 62 on the Hot 100, where Bryan is quickly approaching 50 placements. With Heaven on Top It appears that "Madeline" will be included on With Heaven on Top, Bryan's forthcoming project. Originally marketed as an EP, it now appears the singer-songwriter and Grammy winner may turn it into a full-length effort. At the moment, With Heaven on Top is scheduled to be released on January 9, 2026.
