Formula 1 is set to return this weekend with the 2026 Australian Grand Prix. The first race of the season is headed down under to Melbourne with a set of new rules, new cars, new drivers and even an entirely new team, Cadillac. With so many offseason changes, this weekend will surely be filled with unexpected surprises.
One thing that is certain, though: Last season’s world champion, Lando Norris, will begin in the No. 1 car for McLaren alongside his teammate Oscar Piastri, who finished in third in 2025. However, Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes are also showing strong signs of being a major threat to McLaren.

For the first time ever, SM Entertainment rookie girl group Hearts2Hearts is coming to North America for a showcase you won’t want to miss.
After finding major success with tracks such as “Style,” “Focus” and its debut hit, “The Chase,” the eight-member girl group is embarking on a two-stop showcase in the North America titled Hearts2House. The exciting showcase will take place in New York on March 19 at the Brooklyn Paramount at 8 p.m. ET, followed by Los Angeles on March 22 at the Wiltern at 8 p.m. PT. It’s likely the group will be performing tracks from its first mini album, Focus, along with a few other special stages. If fans are lucky, they’ll also get to hear the girl group’s new track “Rude!” live.
This will be fans’ first real look at the group live, since it hasn’t toured in the States before. With that in mind, tickets for the two-stop event are likely to go fast. This is a rare chance to see the girls in North America before they head back to South Korea.
You’ll want to jump on this opportunity while it lasts. Below, ShopBillboard shows you where to get your tickets for this showcase at an affordable price. We’ve also included a few promo codes to make those ticket prices even more wallet-friendly.

Dame Dash Recalls What Drove Early Success for Ye: ‘He Could Fail & Make It a Learning Experience’
Ye’s struggles for acceptance as a rapper are well documented in the early stages of his career. Dame Dash admitted he originally signed the artist formerly known as Kanye West to Roc-A-Fella for his prowess as a producer, but the Chicago native had much grander aspirations.
Dash joined the TFU Podcast on Tuesday (March 3), where he recalled Ye’s status within the Roc-A-Fella army in the early 2000s, doubting his rapping ability and the mentality that allowed Yeezy to break through and become a full-blown A-list superstar.
“I didn’t necessarily think he was so talented like that. I didn’t think he could rap, I thought he made good beats. He had good beats, but he showed up,” he explained. “For example, ‘We Are the Champions‘ was the record that kind of broke him and I produced that with him.”
Dame continued: “I was giving that sample to Just Blaze. Had Just Blaze done what I asked him to do and given me the respect, that might have been a Just Blaze big record for him. It was the first time Queen cleared the sample. Just Blaze didn’t do it, so after a while I said, ‘Kanye, you do it.’ He did it that day and reaped the benefits of it.”
It wasn’t until West broke his jaw in a 2002 car accident that Dame thought Ye could be special — West remained gung ho in his pursuit of greatness even with a wired jaw. “I saw that he was still proactive and turned something that could’ve put him out of business [into] something that put him into business,” Dame said. “I’m more into a person’s hustle and respect.”
“He’s not a quitter. He could fail and make it a learning experience — which he did in fashion — and that he was fearless,” the Roc-A-Fella cofounder added. “Kanye won because of his hustle and the fact [that] he went and did other verticals and he’s also polarizing.”
West turned his tragedy into triumph with the No. 15 Billboard Hot 100 hit “Through the Wire” and cemented his superstar status with his debut album, The College Dropout, in 2004, which arrived at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The set contained anthems such as the Hot 100-topping “Slow Jamz,” as well as “All Falls Down” and “Jesus Walks.”
In the years since, Ye’s decorated résumé includes earning 11 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, five No. 1 hits on the Hot 100 and 24 Grammy Awards. However, has star has dimmed considerably since he began spewing antisemitic hate speech in recent years, which led to the loss of many of his brand deals. He has since apologized several times for his remarks, with the most recent apology coming in January 2026, during which he claimed that a brain injury led to his “reckless behavior.”

Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar Tell a Hood Love Story in ‘Good Flirts’ Video Featuring Momo Boyd
Hours after previewing the “Good Flirts” visual at a surprise NYC show, Baby Keem released the music video to his Kendrick Lamar and Momo Boyd-assisted collaboration on Thursday (March 5).
Keem has to be a Grand Theft Auto fan, as he references a GTA V campaign mission featuring Franklin and Lamar flaming one another with the opening scene of the “Good Flirts” video.
Directed by Renell Medrano, the 25-year-old rapper finds himself in various social settings, flirting with a potential love interest, which takes Keem from the ice cream parlor to riding the bus and eating at a Chinese restaurant with different women.
Draped in all-black and a leather jacket, the scene pivots to a barren church room with Kendrick Lamar surrounded by a hanging cross and a water fountain. K. Dot’s hood love story takes him to the basketball courts, where he delivers his soulful assist.
The visual seemed to be celebrated by fans. “pgLang shoot these videos like a HBO drama. Greatness,” one person wrote in the YouTube comments while lending their stamp of approval.
Another added: “This video is full of so much dark skins it’s too beautiful. Wow. Celebrating us has always been sweet.”
Keem performed a pop-up show at New York City’s Webster Hall on Wednesday (March 4), where he previewed a teaser of the “Good Flirts” video. The Las Vegas native is set to hit the road for the Ca$ino Tour in April, with the North American trek kicking off in North Carolina.
Ca$ino arrived on Feb. 20 and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 72,000 total album units earned, according to Luminate. “Good Flirts” notched the highest Billboard Hot 100 entry from the album, debuting at No. 34.
