Friday Music Guide: New Music From Lorde, Alex Warren & ROSÉ, KATSEYE and More
Billboard's Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Lorde reinvents herself, Alex Warren brings ROSÉ into his sonic world, and KATSEYE continue a 'Gnarly' run of success. Check out all of this week's picks below: More from Billboard Adrian Quesada's Psychedelic Journey: How the Black Pumas Co-Founder Delved Into Latin America's Romantic Past LL Cool J Gives Fans an NYC Rap History Crash Course in 'Hip Hop Was Born Here' Trailer Teddy Swims Welcomes His First Child With Girlfriend Raiche Wright: 'We Love You Lil Man' Lorde, The promotional campaign for Lorde's long-awaited fourth album has involved tales of a bitter breakup and body dysmorphia, creeping feelings of stage fright and questions about her gender identity. Instead of retreating from the intimate pressure points and personal changes that have defined her mid-twenties, she poured them into a new album, and is now hoisting them up for the world to see. One listen to Lorde's Virgin confirms that it is by far the bravest album of her career. Read the full review of Lorde's new album. Alex Warren & ROSÉ, 'On My Mind' A No. 1 smash will often result in some interesting phone calls about potential collaborations, and after Alex Warren followed up his enormous hit 'Ordinary' with the Jelly Roll team-up 'Bloodline,' ROSÉ has now hopped on the latest single from his upcoming album You'll Be Alright, Kid, with the BLACKPINK star holding her own amidst the horns and kick drum on the somber, likable folk-pop sing-along. KATSEYE, More pop songs should sound as audacious as 'Gnarly,' KATSEYE's off-the-wall breakthrough single that leads off their new five-song EP — and while that hyperpop sledgehammer sets up a slightly more subdued project, the girl group scores with slinky pop harmonies ('Gameboy'), dance balladry ('Mean Girls') and a smart twist on the anthemic 'Gnarly' sound to close things out ('M.I.A'). Lizzo, Although Lizzo has released a handful of pop-leaning singles so far in 2025, My Face Hurts From Smiling features none of them — instead, the surprise mixtape is a full-throated foray into rap music, designed to let her have a blast on tracks alongside SZA and Doja Cat and further regain her mojo before a presumably more mainstream-focused new album. Don Toliver, 'FWU' Don Toliver's helium-coated voice joins forces with Mustard's hard-clapping production on 'FWU,' a new single that serves as Toliver's first solo single of the year and boosts his momentum without high stakes — 'FWU' rolls along ceaselessly and purposefully, meant to be played loud and more than twice. Various Artists, On the same day that the Brad Pitt racing drama zooms into theaters, the full F1 album is unveiled as the most star-studded soundtrack of the year, with previously released tracks by Don Toliver and Doja Cat, Tate McRae, Ed Sheeran and ROSÉ complemented by new offerings from Burna Boy, RAYE, Madison Beer and more — just be sure to save time for Peggy Gou's bright, shuffling 'D.A.N.C.E' in the back half. Barbra Streisand, Barbra Streisand's elegant sequel to her 2014 duets album Partners succeeds due to its smart guest list: while legends like Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan and James Taylor swing by to sing and pay homage, the appearance of artists like Hozier and Laufey nicely shake up the sound, and the Babs-Mariah Carey-Ariana Grande summit 'One Heart, One Voice' lives up to its high-powered pedigree. Editor's Pick: Blood Orange, 'The Field' On the same day that a major new pop release that Dev Hyne contributed to, Lorde's Virgin, is unveiled, indie fans can be equally enthralled by the first song in three years from his Blood Orange project: 'The Field' — which melds the voices of Caroline Polachek, Daniel Caesar and others with Hynes' own — is hauntingly gorgeous, a hymn-like variation on Blood Orange's danceable pop-R&B that hopefully previews more to come from the studio master. Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

Alex Warren and Blackpink's Rose team up for a love song
American content creator-musician Alex Warren and Blackpink's Rose have released their surprise collaboration, On My Mind. The Ordinary hitmaker, as did Rose, had been teasing fans about teaming up in their social media accounts and the pair have now delivered a swoon-worthy love ballad. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ROSÉ (@roses_are_rosie) The track is a new addition to Warren's album You'll Be Alright, Kid. Set for release on July 18, 2025, the collection features all of the tracks from the 24-year-old star's debut LP You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), alongside newbies such as smash hit Ordinary and Bloodline with Jelly Roll. You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) focused on 'dealing with grief', while You'll Be Alright, Kid 'turns the page with healing, resilience and optimism'. February's Ordinary spent 11 consecutive weeks at number one on the UK chart, marking the longest-running number one in the UK by a US male solo act in more than 70 years, and the joint longest-running number one of the 2020s, tied with Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits. On the viral success of the TikTok hit, Warren told Variety: 'I am so forever grateful for all the support and will never stop saying thank you. 'I wouldn't have any of this if it weren't for my fans, so I am so appreciative.' Recounting how quickly Ordinary came to fruition, he shared: 'We wrote Ordinary in December last year, started teasing it in January, and released it in February. 'In the music industry, that's a crazy fast turnaround, but we did that because we knew immediately how good it was. I've never had a song so quickly 'click' and I just had to put it out as soon as possible.'

TikTok is plotting your perfect (and totally chaotic) wedding entrance
TikTok is doing its best to plan the most chaotic wedding entrances of all time. You might've seen the bridesmaid trend and its offshoots floating around your FYP. The trend is simple and silly. Typically speaking, someone picks an unserious song, then has an increasingly chaotic or impossible plan for how the bridesmaids or others from the wedding party will enter to it. For instance, you've got a bride moonwalking to the Law & Order theme song or the groom cranking that Soulja Boy down the aisle. Or you've got the pope showing up or the cops dragging away a bridesmaid. Here are just a few of the many popular iterations of the trend all over TikTok. In case you missed it, this trend is a riff on a viral TikTok from a few months ago, where a woman imagined her wedding set to Alex Warren's chart-topping song "Ordinary." People noticed that in her dream wedding, the bridesmaid would have to sprint to keep up with the pace. Naturally, that led to a lot of jokes. It's not exactly clear why that TikTok and the new offshoot trend surfaced months later. But it is certainly a funny and welcome bit of silliness.

Rosé Scores A New Top 10 Bestseller With Her Latest Collaboration
Alex Warren and Blackpink's Rosé debut their single 'On My Mind' at No. 9 on iTunes ahead of ... More Warren's first album You'll Be Alright, Kid arriving in July. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 04: Rosé attends the 2023 LACMA Art+Film Gala, Presented By Gucci at Los Angeles County Museum of Art on November 04, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor LACMA) In mid-July, Alex Warren will release his debut full-length album, You'll Be Alright, Kid. The project follows the 2024 drop of You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter One), an EP that helped reintroduce the YouTuber transition to his new career as a singer-songwriter. Warren is currently riding high off the success of his global smash "Ordinary," but he's not resting on the popularity of that tune as the street date for his first album approaches. The rising talent has teamed up with one of the biggest names in K-pop to land one of the hottest new releases this week. Alex Warren and Rosé's 'On My Mind' Warren recruited Blackpink singer Rosé for his latest single, "On My Mind," which arrived on Friday (June 27). Fans of both artists rushed to buy a copy of the collaboration, and as of the time of writing, it sits at No. 9 on the iTunes Top Songs chart. Rosé Joins Kesha, Lord Huron and Cody Jinks Fridays mark the beginning of a new tracking week in the United States, so that's when most musicians release their newest albums and tracks. This frame, the top 10 on the iTunes Top Songs ranking is flush with six new entries. Sitting ahead of Warren and Rosé are just-shared cuts by a variety of musical acts such as Kesha, Lord Huron, Old Dominion, and Cody Jinks, while country singer-songwriter Jessie Murph appears just below "On My Mind.' Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' Continues to Rule Warren has released a trio of singles in 2025, beginning with "Ordinary." That song, which returns to No. 1 on the Hot 100 this week, dips to sixth place on the iTunes Top Songs tally, pushed down by a slew of new arrivals. Just a few weeks ago, Warren teamed up with Jelly Roll for "Bloodline," which became another top 40 success on the Hot 100, though it has not held on as a long-standing win. Rosé's 'Apt.' Remains a Huge Hit in America As Warren collects multiple top 10s on the iTunes Top Songs chart, Rosé's career-defining smash "Apt." is still present inside the top 100 on that ranking. The Blackpink star's duet with Bruno Mars continues to live on multiple Billboard tallies at the moment, including the Hot 100, Streaming Songs, Radio Songs, and Digital Song Sales charts at the same time. "On My Mind" is just beginning its journey, but with one of the most popular female musicians in the world onboard, the track could go on to become another huge hit for both Warren and Rosé in just a few days.

Ask Billboard: Here Are the Nos. 1 & 2 Reasons That the Hot 100 Has Been Historic This Month
Submit questions about Billboard charts, as well as general music musings, to . Please include your first and last name, as well as your city, state and country, if outside the United States. More from Billboard Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' Adds Third Week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 Inside Bouyon: How a Fusion of Local Folk Music & Digitized Instruments Gave Way to Dominica's Fast-Spreading Homegrown Genre Lorde Performs New Album 'Virgin' in Full at Surprise Glastonbury 2025 Show Or, reach out on Bluesky. Let's open the latest mailbag. Hi Gary, I noticed that for the last four weeks, all songs in the Billboard Hot 100's top 10 have reached either No. 1 or No. 2. The leaders: Alex Warren's 'Ordinary'; Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild'; Morgan Wallen's 'What I Want,' featuring Tate McRae; Kendrick Lamar and SZA's 'Luther'; Shaboozey's 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)'; Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' 'Die With a Smile'; and Teddy Swims' 'Lose Control.' Plus, the runners-up: Wallen's 'Just in Case' and 'I'm the Problem'; Benson Boone's 'Beautiful Things'; and Drake's 'Nokia.' Is this the first time this has happened? Kind regards, John Buergo-Rodriguez Hi John, The Hot 100 the past four weeks, on the charts dated June 7, 14, 21 and 28, has been good for songs in the top 10, given their lofty peak positions. It's less optimal for fans of upward movement in the region, as it reflects that beyond the top two, every other song is past its high point. The relative inaction ties into Jason Lipshutz's recent analysis of how numerous songs are linking long stays in the Hot 100's upper reaches, crowding out rising songs that could take their place. The Hot 100's top 10 steadiness also aligns with the relative drought of artists earning their first No. 1s so far this year. Still, history! The four latest Hot 100s mark the first in the chart's nearly 67-year archives in which every song in the top 10 ranked or had already peaked at Nos. 1 or 2. Notably, one prior week featured 10 No. 1- or No. 2-peaking Hot 100 hits in the top 10 — but at the time, three of them had yet to reach such heights. On the March 27, 2021-dated chart, Cardi B's 'Up' was No. 1, above four former leaders — 'Drivers License' by Olivia Rodrigo; 'What's Next' by Drake; 'Blinding Lights' by The Weeknd; and 'Mood' by 24kGoldn, featuring iann dior — as well as two prior No. 2 hits: Ariana Grande's '34+35,' featuring Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion, and Drake's 'Wants and Needs,' featuring Lil Baby. Meanwhile, three songs were on their way up: Silk Sonic's 'Leave the Door Open,' The Weeknd and Ariana Grande's 'Save Your Tears,' both to No. 1, and Dua Lipa's 'Levitating,' to No. 2. Generally, when songs are spending relatively less time in the Hot 100's top 10, more opportunity exists for other hits to enter, increasing the chances that they'll peak anywhere between Nos. 1 and 10, not just the top two. Hi Gary, I read the recent 'Ask Billboard' about songs on the Hot 100 that had a quirkiness regarding their titles and chart placement. How about one more: Paul Hardcastle's '19.' I know that this single did not peak at No. 19, but at 15. Was it ever at No. 19, on the Hot 100 or elsewhere? Thanks, Walter BrockmannSouthampton, N.Y. Hi Walter, It did — it ranked at No. 19 on the Hot 100 dated Aug. 3, 1985, following two weeks at its No. 15 best. The next week, it also placed at No. 19 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It reached No. 8 on the latter list, as well as No. 1 on Dance Club Songs (where it was never No. 19). How about 19 other coincidences? First up, Garbage's '#1 Crush' was No. 1 on Alternative Airplay, throughout all of the first month of 1997. Face to Face's '10-9-8' hit No. 7 on Dance Club Songs in 1984. Stevie Nicks' 'Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White Winged Dove)' dropped to No. 18 on the Hot 100 for a week in 1982. Not No. 17, but on the edge of it. Similar to Paul Hardcastle, Steely Dan took 'Hey Nineteen' to No. 10 on the Hot 100 and No. 11 on Adult Contemporary. For a week in 1981 on the latter list, though, at ranked at … hey: 19! 21 Savage has one No. 21-peaking hit on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, as featured on Central Cee's 'GBP,' earlier this year. Thirty Seconds to Mars' first two charted titles each reached No. 30 on Pop Airplay. (No data available on where they peaked on the planet next further out after Earth.) Before it spun to No. 2 on Alternative Airplay in 1997, Smashing Pumpkins' 'Thirty-Three' debuted at No. 33. 38 Special's 'You Keep Runnin' Away' reached No. 38 on the Hot 100 in 1982. Fans of UB40 and American Top 40 will appreciate that UB40 ranked at No. 40 on the Hot 100 for a week in 1991. Sum 41 has notched two hits on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, and both peaked at No. 41: 'Out for Blood,' in 2019, and 'Landmines,' in 2024. 50 Cent has charted one No. 50 hit on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: 'We Up,' featuring Kendrick Lamar, in 2013. For a week in 1975, Paul Simon's '50 Ways to Leave Your Lover' ranked at No. 50 on the Hot 100. Nelson Riddle's 'Route 66 Theme' got its kicks at No. 66 on the Hot 100 for a week in 1962. In August 2015, Mac Miller's '100 Grandkids' claimed one week on the Hot 100, at No. 100. That November, The Game's '100,' featuring Drake, wrapped its run on the Hot 100 at No. 100. For two weeks in 1999, vocal group 112's Room 112 ranked at No. 112 on the Billboard 200. Blink-182 albums have spent five weeks at No. 182 on the Billboard 200. Oh, and April Wine's 'Just Between You and Me' hit No. 21 on the Hot 100 dated April 25, 1981. Plus, the peak dates for Taylor Swift's 'August' (Aug. 8, 2020), The Tempos' 'See You in September' (Sept. 7, 1959), Blue October's 'Hate Me' (Oct. 7, 2006) and Bad Bunny's 'Mr. October' (Oct. 28, 2023). Perhaps even more fittingly, *NSYNC's 'It's Gonna Be Me' debuted on the chart dated May 6, 2000. As for one more example from this year, Travis Scott's '4×4' didn't peak at No. 4 on any chart. However, taking a quick trip to the Poland Songs chart, '4×4' equaled a No. 16 peak there.
