‘Wicked: For Good’ Director Jon M. Chu Previews Two New Songs From Anticipated Sequel: ‘They’re Questioning, ‘What Is Home?’

Arriving Nov. 21 — the same day that the Wicked sequel is set to hit theaters this fall — the soundtrack will include a total of 11 songs. In addition to the already beloved titles that will transfer over from the Wicked Broadway musical’s soundtrack, such as “Thank Goodness/I Couldn’t Be Happier,” “As Long as You’re Mine” and “For Good,” the upcoming film will have two original works specially written for the screen adaptation.

“I’m especially happy that the soundtrack album for Wicked: For Good has so much new music on it,” said Stephen Schwartz, who composed the score for the Wicked stage production and has worked on the music for the movies, in a statement. “In addition to two brand new songs, there is a lot that’s new in several other existing songs. So not only listeners coming to the score for the first time, but longtime fans of the original Broadway cast album will have a great deal to discover.”

Cynthia Erivo will perform the first all-new track, titled “No Place Like Home.” In a Variety podcast interview in December, the actress — who plays Elphaba in the Wicked films — teased that the added ballad is sure to be emotional.

“I don’t know if you’re ready for it,” she said at the time, noting that she helped write the track with Schwartz. “I feel like the song is very, very special. I have a feeling that even the title will move you.”

Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda, will sing the other new song, which is called “The Girl in the Bubble.”

The Wicked: For Good soundtrack certainly has big ruby red shoes to fill, as the first Wicked‘s corresponding album — which dropped alongside the film in November 2024 — entered at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. In doing so, it secured the highest ever debut for a big-screen adaptation of a stage musical on the chart.

sombr Stops Show to Scold Venue Staff After Fan Seemingly Passes Out: ‘You Need to Pay Attention’

Published

At his recent show in London, sombr paused the program to call out event staff after a fan appeared to faint in the audience without receiving help.

While in the midst of singing his breakout Billboard Hot 100 hit “Back to Friends” on Tuesday at O2 Academy Brixton, the Gen Z pop star suddenly waved at his band to stop playing. “Stop the show,” he said before addressing people working the concert, as captured in videos posted on social media. “Guys, there’s someone passed out over there.”

“This is the most poorly managed venue I’ve ever played at in my life,” he continued. “You need to pay attention. It’s insane. I’ve played three nights here, and I’ve never played at a more poorly managed venue.”

Billboard has reached out to reps for sombr and O2 Academy Brixton.

Before proceeding with the show, the artist told the crowd, “Let me know when everyone’s good.”

sombr is currently on a run of shows in Europe, with dates planned for venues in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Dublin. This summer, he’ll play a slew of festivals, including Coachella and BottleRock Napa Valley.

The New York native also had another mid-show interruption recently, this time during his performance at the BRIT Awards. While he was singing “Undressed” at the ceremony, a man wearing a “Sombr is a homewrecker” shirt ran out on stage and appeared to hit Sombr; as it turned out, it was a pre-planned stint to help promote his new single “Homewrecker,” which recently debuted at No. 26 on the Hot 100.

And despite the momentary frustration, Sombr had only kind words to say about his overall experience playing for fans in London. “I love you so much,” he wrote over a video of the crowd at O2 Academy Brixton on his Instagram Story. “Thanks so much for an unforgettable past 3 nights. I’ll be back London.”

The 15 Most Surprising Member Exits From K-Pop Groups

Published

By

While the K-pop world is grappling with the unexpected news that ENHYPEN is no longer seven members following member Heeseung’s seemingly out-of-nowhere announcement of his departure, the industry has certainly been blindsided by such abrupt exits many times.

While Heeseung’s situation was shocking, it unfolded fairly calmly. On March 10, announcements came from ENHYPEN’s official channels, alongside a handwritten letter from Heeseung himself and ENHYPEN’s own statement on social media. Comparatively, some of K-pop’s biggest groups have been changed forever by dramatic announcements from members, via notices of legal action or vague updates from their agencies — the latter of which can sometimes be the most heartbreaking for fans.

From one of K-pop’s most landmark member exits in Junsu, Yoochun and Jaejoong from TVXQ! in 2009 (which ultimately rid the industry of so-called “slave contracts”) to years like 2014, 2019 or even last year, where multiple popular groups saw members drop from their groups, Billboard is sharing a timeline of the 15 most shocking exits from K-pop groups.

Membership changes are never easy, even when fans suspect something may have shifted for the group or there is an internal or external issue. Members of K-pop groups have left for the sake of their mental health or sometimes due to ongoing external pressure from issues from their past arising. For the purposes of this timeline and its relation to the news surrounding ENHYPEN and Heeseung, we’re focusing on K-pop member exits that seemingly came out of nowhere, with no prior indication, hiatuses or controversy.

Read on to learn how rare it is to have Heeseung remain under the same label as his former group in BELIFT LAB to pursue his solo career and more, in this look through K-pop’s most unexpected member departures.

Watch Harry Styles Bust Marcello Hernandez for Impersonating Him Ahead of ‘SNL’: ‘Are Those My Clothes?’

Published

Sorry, Marcello Hernandez — there’s only one Harry Styles. On the set of Saturday Night Live ahead of the pop star’s upcoming hosting and performing stint, the comedian got a little too comfortable impersonating that week’s guest in a promo video posted Wednesday (March 11).

The teaser opens as a spoof on Styles’ One Night in Manchester concert special trailer, with the piano intro to his new single “American Girls” playing over shots of what looks like the singer’s silhouette striking poses and dancing across the stage. A record-scratch moment happens when the real Styles walks in with SNL castmember Kenan Thompson, busting Hernandez, who’d been pretending to be the Grammy winner that whole time.

“What are you doing, Marcello? Are those my clothes?” Styles asks a visibly embarrassed Hernandez.

“Yeah, sorry,” the stand-up comic stutters, suddenly shy about wearing Styles’ pinstriped, flared slacks. “I thought you weren’t coming, so I thought I’d just go on as your understudy.”

Perplexed, Styles explains where he and Thompson had been. “I’m 15 minutes late, because Kenan and I went out for pain au chocolat. It’s a tradition when I host.”

Suffice to say, it’ll be Styles — the real Styles — helming SNL on Saturday (March 14), returning to host for the second time. He previously led an episode of the show in 2019.

The Brit will also serve as musical guest on the new episode, having just dropped his new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. The project was led by Billboard Hot 100-topping single “Aperture” and features second single “American Girls,” both of which are strong contenders for the tracks Styles will perform at 30 Rock — although fans will have to tune in to the live show to find out.
