Posters began popping up around Toronto earlier this week, hinting at a partnership between OVO and McDonald’s. The famed OVO owl meshed with the McDonald’s logo, along with the phrase “Where the Night Owls Lands” beneath it, which got fans’ minds churning.

McDonald’s Canada appeared to confirm that a collaboration is in the works when posting a teaser clip to social media on Wednesday (Feb. 11), while setting a launch date of Feb. 17 for the partnership.

It’s unclear exactly what the collab would entail, but the Golden Arches have teamed up with plenty of celebrities in the past to give them their own customized limited-edition meal. The list includes Travis Scott, Shania Twain, Mariah Carey, BTS, Cardi B, Offset, Saweetie and J Balvin.

Billboard has reached out to reps for McDonald’s and Drake for comment.

Drake has been spotted by fans picking up some McDonald’s at times during his career. According to TMZ, he even served up some McDonald’s meals following a concert with Migos at a West Hollywood afterparty in 2018.

On the music side, Drake has continued to tease his forthcoming Iceman album, but the project remains without a release date.

Drizzy’s pockets are also a tad lighter after losing a $1 million bet on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, who were throttled by the Seattle Seahawks 29-13.

Kylie Minogue’s track “Padam Padam” became a hit when it was released 2023, reaching No. 7 on Billboard‘s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and No. 1 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay.

The anthem-esque single and its funky dance-pop beat offered the Australian singer’s career a major boost, reinvigorating love for the artist all across the globe. Minogue has always held a major spot in the dance genre since her start in the 1980s with hits such as “The Loco-Motion” (1988), “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” (2002) and “I Believe in You” (2004).

“Padam Padam” also won Minogue a Grammy for best pop dance recording in 2024, solidifying her icon status. Speaking of icon status, Minogue was just given a signature Barbie doll inspired by the aforementioned track and her career. The Mattel creation is currently available for pre-order for $59.40 on Amazon and $54.97 at Walmart, and will officially launch on March 27.

This is a posable doll from Mattel inspired by Minogue’s hit 2023 track “Padam Padam.” The single reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart and No. 7 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.


The doll is dressed in a bright red look, down to her dolly shoes, inspired by the star’s outfit in the music video. The look in question is a sleek Mugler bodysuit and lace-up Maison Ernest boots. The bodysuit is affixed with a billowing cape. The doll also features a coordinating bright lip and scarlet streaks in her hair to match the fiery red ensemble. This doll makes an amazing present and keepsake for fans of Minogue. It’s a unique offering that can be displayed beside her records to tie the collections together.

This isn’t the first time Mattel has crafted a doll for a musician. In the brand’s Signature Music Series, it released dolls modeled after Stevie Nicks, Mariah Carey, Elton John, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Cher, Aaliyah, Gloria Estefan and Elvis Presley. Every doll is created based on a certain era of the singer’s life, usually an important or historic moment in their careers. The gothic and witchy Nicks dolls that Mattel has released have done exceedingly well, selling out within hours of launching.

Is the ‘Marshals’ Trailer Hinting That Riley Green Is Headed to the ‘Yellowstone’ Spin-Off?

Published

It looks like Riley Green may be adding actor to his resume. In the trailer for the new Taylor Sheridan-created series, “Marshals,” a man who appears to be Green is very briefly singing and playing guitar around a campfire at the 1:39 mark.  

The show, which premieres March 1 on CBS and Paramount+, is a spinoff from Yellowstone and follows Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton as he moves into the next chapter of his life following his father’s death. Though his wife, Monica, was alive at the end of Yellowstone, it looks like she may also be dead in the Marshals premiere, and Kayce makes a comment that “Yellowstone’s gone along with most of my family.” He also remarks, “The only thing I ever wanted was taken from me,” as a sheet is pulled over an unidentified body.

Kayce is now a full-time U.S. marshal and is quickly taking on the bad guys — both the two- and four-legged kind — in the trailer.

Green’s representative had no comment on whether he is appearing on the show.

Last May, Scott Borchetta, founder and head of Green’s record company, Big Machine Label Group, told Billboard that acting was definitely on Green’s mind.

“Riley called me about a year ago and asked about Tim McGraw and how did Tim [get into acting],” Borchetta said at the time. “That’s something that he is going to spend some energy on, and I think we could see another gear with him in that space.” McGraw is also part of the Sheridan universe, having starred in Yellowstone prequel 1883 with his wife, Faith Hill.

In a Q&A at the Grammy Museum in August in Los Angeles, avowed movie lover Green talked about his interested in making the leap to the big (or little) stage after showing off his acting chops in such videos as “Worst Way.” Then in December, he confirmed to Country Now that he had already shot a guest spot. “I’ll just guess I’m allowed to say that I have done some acting, and it’s a show, and it’s going to be airing sometime fairly soon,” he cryptically said, adding that he had felt very comfortable on set during the quick taping.

“It just happened so fast that I didn’t really have time to get nervous and so I was just kind of, the scene was done, and I was like, ‘OK, well I guess it was all right,’” he shared. “They didn’t yell at me or yell ‘cut’ or anything, but it was a lot of fun.”

How Massive Will Bad Bunny’s Post-Super Bowl Hot 100 Takeover Be Next Week — And Will He Get the No. 1 Spot?

Published

By

For any other artist, the chart bump that Bad Bunny experienced this week following the Grammys would be the catalog streaming story of their year. 

With his Debi Tirar Más Fotos album experiencing massive gains after its historic album of the year win — and after the artist born Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio was spotlit on the CBS Feb. 1 Grammy broadcast seemingly every five minutes — Bad Bunny had four songs from the set re-enter the Billboard Hot 100 dated Feb. 14 (along with a fifth, “Voy a Llevarte Pa PR,” zooming 85-47), with the quasi-title track “DtMF” even re-entering the top 10, at No. 10. Only Don Toliver, who sees all 18 tracks from his OCTANE album enter the chart this week, and Olivia Dean, whose still-growing blockbuster The Art of Loving sports six tracks on the chart, have more songs on the Hot 100 this week than Bad Bunny.

And yet, this week looks to be only the prelude. The true deluge of El Conejo Malo on the Hot 100 should be coming next week — following his headlining performance at halftime of Super Bowl LX on Sunday (Feb. 9), which was watched by over 128 million people in this country alone — which could include a swarm of double-digit new Bad Bunny entries, and some titles challenging for the very top of the chart. 

Even before the Sunday performance, Bad Bunny’s numbers were still rising from Grammy week: On Saturday (Feb. 8), Bad Bunny already occupied all six of the Spotify Daily Top Songs USA chart, each with over twice the stream count that they posted the previous Monday (Feb. 2) directly after the Grammys. Those numbers, of course, continued to grow over this Sunday and particularly Monday — with Bad Bunny posting a near-career-best 98 million official on-demand U.S. streams on Monday, according to Luminate, and occupying the top nine spots (and 16 of the top 25) on the Spotify daily chart. That included over 5.7 million plays for the top song, “DtMF,” a single-day best for any song in 2026. (His Apple Music performance was similarly dominant, owning the top six spots on the real-time chart in the days following the halftime show.) 

Even as of Wednesday (Feb. 11), Bad Bunny’s stream counts have receded, but his dominance has hardly fallen off — he still commands the top five spots on both the Spotify daily chart and the Apple Music real-time chart, with “DtMF” still occupying the No. 1 spot on both. With the tracking week ending at the close of Thursday (Feb. 12), and Bad Bunny having blanketed the top of those charts for essentially the entire week — even on the day of the much-anticipated Spotify and Apple Music premiere of Taylor Swift’s “Opalite” video (Feb. 6), the song didn’t unseat “DtMF” on either DSP’s listings — and also ranking multiple songs towards the top of the iTunes real-time chart, his Hot 100 presence next week is sure to be massive. 

But just how massive? Well, there could be a double-digit total of Bad Bunny songs in contention for this week’s Hot 100 — most from DTMF, but also older songs like 2023’s “Monaco,” 2022’s “Tití Me Preguntó” and 2020’s “Yo Perreo Sola,” all of which he also performed during the halftime show (with older songs needing to rank in the top 50, per chart rules). Those aren’t the only catalog songs that are getting sizeable bumps, though: “La Cancion,” for instance, from Bad Bunny and J Balvin’s collaborative 2019 EP Oasis, might also re-enter in the top 40 or higher, despite not being included in the halftime set. (Its excellent streaming performance this past week might be explained by its placement as one of his top songs — the highest of his non-DTMF songs, in fact — on his Spotify “Popular” page.)

Some of these songs might also be heading for new peaks on the chart. Among catalog songs, “La Cancion,” which peaked at No. 84 on the Hot 100 in 2019, is almost sure to beat that next week. But most of the songs threatening new highs on the chart come from Debí Tirar Más Fotos, including each of the album’s four longest-lasting hits: “DtMF,” “Baile Inolvidable,” “Nuevayol” and “EoO.”

All four of those songs were performed at the halftime show, and all four of them should have strong chances of making the top 10 next week, having lasted in the top five of the Spotify and Apple Music charts for nearly the entire week. (The fifth, “Titi,” should also threaten the top 10, though it may have difficulty beating out its original No. 5 peak on the chart.”) “EoO” should sail past its original No. 24 peak on the chart and “Nuevayol” has seen robust-enough tallies this week that it should beat out its original No. 8 peak, as well.

The remaining two, “DtMF” and “Baile Inolvidable,” have the least room for error — since they originally peaked at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, upon their parent album’s first week topping the Billboard 200, back in January 2025. Will they be able to beat out even those mighty peaks by commanding the top two on the chart next week?

The possibility is a strong one. “DtMF” and “Baile” have resided atop the Spotify and Apple Music listings since Sunday, maintaining a sizeable lead on any non-Bad Bunny titles. “DtMF,” in particular, has really blown by the competition — on Monday, its Spotify U.S. stream total was nearly five times the nearest non-Bad Bunny song — and it also remains at No. 3 on the iTunes realtime sales chart, behind only his own “Tití,” and his Turning Point USA halftime show competitor Kid Rock’s cover of Cody Johnson’s “‘Til You Can’t.”

If “DtMF” is able to capture the No. 1 spot, it will be something of a career first for Bad Bunny. He has scored a No. 1 on the Hot 100 before, alongside Cardi B and J Balvin on the 2018 smash “I Like It,” but has yet to appear unaccompanied on a No. 1, or score a No. 1 from any of his own albums, with “DtMF” marking his only previous visit to the runner-up spot.

Regardless, Bad Bunny is sure to be the dominant story on the Billboard Hot 100 next week — with perhaps a greater presence on the chart than we’ve ever seen for a living artist who hasn’t even released an album in the past 12 months.
