Bryan Adams makes his second trip to YouTube Music’s Billion Views Club, this time with “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You.”
The Canadian singer-songwriter passes the billion views milestone with performance video for “I Do It For You,” the 1991 ballad that soundtracked Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
“I Do It For You” was an unstoppable hit following its release, much like the film it was connected to. It’s one of Adams’ four titles to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for seven weeks — by some margin the longest reign by Adams on the national singles survey.
Across the Atlantic, “I Do It For You” enjoyed a fairytale run on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, which included an historic 16-week reign, all of it consecutive. No other song in OCC history has enjoyed a longer stretch at No. 1.
The song led-off Adams’s Waking Up the Neighbours, which topped the Official U.K. Albums Chart, the ARIA Chart, and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200.
The action-adventure film from which “I Do It For You” was synced was a box office success, coming in at No. 2 among the year’s highest-grossing films with $390 million, behind the sci-fi masterpiece Terminator 2: Judgment Day with $520 million, and comprehensively trounced, at the box office at least, the critically-acclaimed, Patrick Bergin-starring Robin Hood, also released in 1991.
Adams first entered YouTube’s Billion Views Club with another ballad, 1993’s “Please Forgive Me.”
“(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” was written by Adams, Robert “Mutt” Lange and Michael Kamen. Its official black and white video was filmed in Miami, Florida 1992, directed by Andy Morahan, and can be seen in full below.
Brandi Carlile is the newest inductee into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame.
The 11-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, producer and performer will be elevated during the ACL Hall of Fame induction and taping on July 1, with Bonnie Raitt on hand to induct Carlile. Raitt, who was inducted in 2016, will also perform a tribute on the night.
“Being inducted into the ACL Hall of Fame by one of my absolute heroes — Bonnie Raitt — means everything to me,” comments Carlile in a statement. “I’m so grateful to have had such a deep and powerful connection to the city of Austin and Austin City Limits all these years — and I cannot wait to hit the Moody stage in July to celebrate this immense honor.”
Adds Raitt: “I’m thrilled to induct my friend Brandi into the ACL Hall of Fame. She is truly one of our most respected and impactful artists. I admire her not only for her incredible music, but for standing up for the causes and artists she’s passionate about, all while balancing her wonderful family life. I can’t wait to get to perform together for this show that has meant so much to us both.”
The 12th Annual ACL Hall of Fame will be presented at ACL’s studio home, ACL Live at The Moody Theater in Austin, Texas. Highlights, including performances and speeches, will be packaged for an hour-long broadcast during Season 52 of Austin City Limits, premiering this September on PBS, and available to stream online and via the PBS App.
Established in 2014, the ACL Hall of Fame recognizes artists who’ve played a defining role in the series’ half-century legacy. Honorees have included Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lucinda Williams, Roy Orbison, Lyle Lovett, John Prine, and last year’s inductee Garth Brooks.
Carlile has “deep roots at ACL” and is a frequent presence at the ACL Hall of Fame, reads a statement announcing her special night. Also, Carlile handed induction honors for Sheryl Crow in 2022 and has delivered three standout appearances: in 2010 (Season 36), 2018 (Season 44) and 2022 (Season 48).
Across a two-decade-plus career, Carlile has landed 10 titles on the Billboard 200 chart, including five top 10s. At the back end of 2025, Carlile broke the record for most No. 1’s by a woman on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, as her latest album Returning to Myself debuts atop the Nov. 8-dated tally. Earlier this year, Carlile performed “America the Beautiful” during Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, and presented the Innovator Award to Laufey at Billboard Women In Music 2026.
“When Brandi Carlile first stepped onto the ACL stage more than 15 years ago, it was immediately clear she possessed a rare and singular talent,” says ACL executive producer Terry Lickona. “The moment you hear her voice, you know exactly who it is. She will always have a home here at ACL, and now she takes her well-deserved place in the ACL Hall of Fame. Having Bonnie Raitt there to welcome her into the fold makes the occasion all the more special.”
Austin City Limits and the ACL Hall of Fame are produced by Austin PBS.
From her early, scene-stealing soapie days, through to pop superstardom, and with it the hordes of fans, red carpets, music videos, awards, and major concerts, Kylie Minogue has sure lived the life. The veteran Aussie pop star has also endured the cancer battle, the detractors, and the loss of loved ones. And it’s all there, in Kylie, the three-part Netflix documentary series, the first trailer for which has arrived.
Almost 40 years of Kylie’s glittering career are locked into two-and-a-half minutes, for a video which captures the ridiculous highs, and the gutting lows of a life lived in the spotlight.
Nick Cave, who invited Minogue to join her on his Murder Ballads breakout hit from 1995, “Where The Wild Roses Grow,” and again on his 2014 film 20,000 Days on Earth, contributes to the forthcoming series. “Kylie is this force,” he explains in the new clip. “It’s all outward, giving.”
The trailer invites us in, as Kylie grows up on our screens and the airwaves. We see professional snaps of Kylie cuddling with her ex Michael Hutchence, the late frontman of INXS. The glamor and the smiles are immediately wiped out when the trailer explores Kylie’s battle with breast cancer, and the haters, which lurked for so many years. “We didn’t know if she was ever going to be well again,” her younger sister Dannii explains in the clip. “Music kept us going,” Kylie continues.
We also hear Kylie rip out an expletive that would make many of her compatriots proud.
The project is coming to Netflix on May 20, and directed by Emmy- and BAFTA Award-winner Michael Harte (Three Identical Strangers, BECKHAM) and produced by John Battsek’s Ventureland (WHAM!, The Deepest Breath).
As previously reported, the doc examines how she’s “faced public scrutiny, personal loss, and illness with grit and grace, earning respect far beyond her own fandom,” reads a description from Netflix.
Kylie is one of Australia’s best-selling female artists of all-time, shifting more than 80 million records worldwide. Her collection of awards is positively heaving with 18 ARIAs, induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame, the Ted Albert Award for outstanding services to Australian music, the U.K.’s MITS Award, and two Grammys. She has also featured in more than a dozen films, including The Delinquents, Street Fighter, Moulin Rouge!, Kath & Kim, Holy Motors and The Residence.
Her recent hot streak has included Las Vegas residencies; a deal with United Talent Agency (UTA) for live representation in the U.S. and Canada and acting roles worldwide; the Global Icon Award at the 2024 BRIT Awards, becoming just the second woman to win it following Taylor Swift in 2021; and the Billboard Women in Music Icon Award.
In her adopted homeland, the U.K., where she’s celebrated as the “princess of pop,” she boasts 11 No. 1 albums, and in Australia, Kylie’s has tallied nine chart leaders. In the United States, Kylie has landed 12 titles on the Billboard 200, and seven songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including top 10s with her 1988 cover of “The Loco-Motion” (peaking at No. 3) and 2002’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” (No. 7).
Minogue was recently confirmed as the headliner for the 2026 AFL Grand Final Australian rules football championship at Melbourne’s MCG on Sept. 26, becoming the first Australian artist to headline the event since 2021.
SYDNEY, Australia — RAGEFLOWER is ready to bloom, through a new management deal with Weird Fishes.
Spearheaded by songwriter and musician Madeleine Powers, RAGEFLOWER made ripples in the domestic music industry last year with its debut EP INFINITE HIGHS, END OF TIMES and impressive performances at BIGSOUND 2025, plus the release of the singles “Desk Job” and “Control,” both of which have enjoyed high-rotation on triple j.
Key Spotify playlists have added RAGEFLOWER, from New Music Friday AU/NZ, to Pop n Fresh, Hits Different, Glow, Fresh Finds AU and Tapestry, in addition to several Apple Music playlists. Also, support slots have opened up with The Temper Trap and The Darkness.
Classically trained at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Powers changed tac and found creative freedom in distortion pedals, vulnerable lyrics, and shimmering synths. It’s channeled into an indie rock/pop act that is “without doubt the most exciting new artist we have seen in the last few years,” comments Weird Fishes co-founder Aidan McLaren.
“The creativity, the songwriting, the captivating live show, the connection, it’s all there,” McLaren continues. “What Maddy is creating is something really unique, very special and strikingly authentic. We couldn’t be more pleased than to be joining the team to help bring the RAGEFLOWER world to life, and to bring it to people around the globe.”
“There’s a magnetic intensity to RAGEFLOWER that you just don’t see every day,” adds Weird Fishes’ Alanna Vullo. “She isn’t afraid to push boundaries or bare her soul, and the result is art that genuinely moves people and leaves a lasting mark. We are absolutely thrilled to step in as her management team and back such a fiercely creative talent”. Vullo, who joined the company late last year, assists McLaren on day-to-day management.
It’s all falling into place for RAGEFLOWER, which recently signed to Select Music (Rob Giovannoni) for Australian live bookings, and caught the eyes and ears of Paul Wilson and Nikos Kazoleas at CAA, who represent for U.K./European live bookings; Paul Wilson books Sam Fender, Lianne La Havas, Tracey Chapman, Dermot Kennedy, while Kazoleas served with as a music agent at UTA for more than a decades, and has worked with the likes of Sombr, GAYLE, Rebecca Black, Trixie Mattel, BANKS, Joshua Bassett, and others.
At Weird Fishes, which opened for business just nine months ago, RAGEFLOWER joins a roster that includes Boy & Bear, Tim Hart, The Dreggs, Steph Strings and Pete Murray. The team, led by McLaren, Joe Miles and Rhett McLaren, was nominated for manager of the year at the 2026 AAM Awards, presented last week in Sydney.

Teddy Swims has never stayed in one lane, and at this point, that’s less a career strategy than the reason he keeps showing up in places that don’t always seem obvious at first glance. His voice carries the grit of soul, the pull of R&B and the kind of storytelling that increasingly resonates with country audiences, which is exactly why his presence at Stagecoach this year felt less like a surprise and more like a signal of where things are headed.
Country’s current surge isn’t just about chart positions — it’s about how far the genre has stretched. Artists who move between sounds, like Post Malone and Jelly Roll, are finding just as much traction with festival crowds as traditional headliners, and Swims sits comfortably in that in-between space. When asked whether topping the Billboard Hot 100 and playing massive festivals changes how he sees himself, his answer stays close to home.
“To me, I want to be the best,” he told Billboard during Stagecoach last month. “And to my son, I want him to think I’m cool. And so it’s more just about trying to be proud of me.”
Swims had another special guest with him during his Stagecoach performance — his dad was there to watch him perform, a moment that made the scale of everything feel a little more grounded. As the singer explains, it wasn’t about milestones or metrics but rather a full-circle moment that has sharpened his focus on what success actually looks like beyond the charts.
“I think one day I hope that my son, maybe, hopefully, will want to do this,” he says. “If not, I’m supporting whatever he wants to do. But my dad watching me, how proud he is… how cool would that be one day to be like, ‘I’m so proud of my son too.’ And he gets to watch me do this and he’s proud of his dad.”
That same mix of intimacy and scale showed up just steps from the Mane Stage inside Club Magenta, a VIP section sponsored by T-Mobile and reserved exclusively for Magenta Status customers. A private bar, shaded seating, Free 5G Wifi and built-in charging stations weren’t just conveniences, they extended the experience, keeping fans connected to the headliner stage without needing to leave it.
Swims’ takeover of the space on Day Two made Club Magenta even more interactive. Signature drinks, airbrush tattoos and a custom cowboy hat station gave Magenta Status members an even more exclusive experience beyond the music at Stagecoach.
Access, however, was limited to T-Mobile customers with Magenta Status, turning Club Magenta into a members-only vantage point at the heart of the Mane Stage.
Club Magenta is headed next to Lollapalooza, bringing the same access-driven setup to a different crowd. For fans looking to take advantage, signing up for T-Mobile and accessing Magenta Status ahead of time is the move.
Your favorite performer is coming to a movie cinema near you.
Bebe Rexha, Paris Hilton, Maren Morris and Kim Petras are among the first wave of artists participating in new, interactive concert experience that will beam the show into hundreds of theaters across the United States.
Arena One, the new live entertainment company, and AMC Theatres, the giant theatrical exhibitor, join forces for Arena One at AMC, a real-time, interactive concert format that will be pumped into 300 AMC locations in 89 markets from June.
The concerts are an upgrade from the cinecast experience that found traction with some a-list artists and their fans in the late 2000s, when a slew of live concerts and exclusive events were fed into participating cinemas.
Through this new concept, announced this week, the artist will perform on Arena One’s purpose-built stage, while “seeing and responding to fans at AMC locations through innovative interactive technology,” reads a statement from organizers.
The advantages are obvious. For the artist, the initiative enables them to reach more fans, in more places, without hitting the road. And for those fans who can’t physical get to see their hero, due to cost, distance or other reasons, they now have a virtual front-row seat.
“The next chapter of live shows isn’t about proximity to big venues, it’s about creating visceral, intimate, affordable live connection between artists and fans no matter where they are,” explains Rohit Kapoor, founder and chief creative officer of Arena One. “Arena One gives artists a new cinema-native canvas to create live performances, while amplifying the raw energy and shared fandom that makes live shows unforgettable.”
First up, Bebe Rexha will perform an Arena One at AMC concert June 17, followed by Paris Hilton (June 18), Kim Petras (June 19) and Maren Morris (June 20).
Ticketholders will soak up an atmosphere that’s “designed to feel immediate and electric, featuring powerful sound, massive screens,” comfortable seats, and more, reads a statement.
“We consider this to be a major announcement,” explains Adam Aron, chairman and CEO of AMC Entertainment, and an “innovative step forward” for the business.
Additional artists and dates will be announced in the coming weeks, with ticket prices varying by market.
“We built a cinematic stage optimized to translate seamlessly to cinemas, but artists are defining what it becomes,” adds Peter Hamilton, CEO of Arena One. “They’re not adapting tours; they’re building something new. That’s when a medium sparks reinvention.”
