Lady Gaga’s electrifying headlining set at Coachella took us through all of her eras and reminded us why we fell in love with her in the first place.
We can count on Megan Thee Stallion to rock our world every time she hits the stage, and her set has given us everything from star-studded guests to amazing dance moves and special effects.
Charli XCX ruffled some feathers with her Brat-astic Coachella set, and brought out many of her A-list collaborators on stage, including Lorde, Billie Eilish, Troye Sivan, and Addison Rae.
This year’s Coachella was a great showcase for some of our favorite alternative artists, including Clairo. Her grand return to the Coachella stage was a great reminder of her raw talent, and she truly entranced the audience with her lo-fi hits.
Green Day were on top of their game at Coachella, taking us through the biggest hits of their discography and proving they remain as relevant and outspoken even three decades later.

With 29.2 million first-week streams, 2.9 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 104,000 downloads sold in the tracking period between January 26-February 1, “Hiss” easily reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also debuted atop several other charts, including Billboard’s Streaming Songs, Digital Song Sales, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and Hot Rap Songs charts.
“Hiss” hit the shelves on January 26, and it saw the Grammy-winning rapper addressing her haters and dissing several high-profile artists, such as Drake and Nicki Minaj. Shortly after dropping this single, Stallion signed a distribution deal with Warner Music, announcing she would handle her own masters and publishing.
“Hiss” is Stallion’s first solo single to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and she joins Nicki Minaj as the second female rapper to debut atop the tally with a solo song. This is also her third No. 1 single overall, following the success of two hit collaborations – Beyoncé-assisted “Savage” and Cardi B’s “WAP”.
]]>The Douglas Bernardt-directed visual opens with Stallion inside a snake egg, symbolizing rebirth and a new beginning. As the song progresses, we see her confidently deliver her verses in several different settings, with snake references sprinkled throughout the video.
The lyrics of “Hiss” are all about Stallion refusing to give any attention to those trying to bring her down, and they feature disses towards several fellow rappers. Nicki Minaj, who previously collaborated with Stallion on “Hot Girl Summer”, wasn’t too happy with some of the lyrics, and she already released her own diss track “Big Foot”.
“Hiss” is Stallion’s second snake-themed music video after “Cobra”, which she teased by saying, “Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past. Over and over again.” These songs seem to be teasing the start of the rapper’s new era, and they were released through her independent music label Hot Girl Productions. She previously said that her third studio album would also be released through her own label.
BTS was competing against Ariana Grande, Drake, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd for the biggest award of the night—artist of the year. They managed to come out victorious, and also picked up awards for the best pop duo or group and favorite pop song with “Butter”.
It was also a big night for Doja Cat, who dominated the R&B categories. In addition to winning trophies for favorite female R&B artist and favorite R&B album with Planet Her, she also collected the award for collaboration of the year with “Kiss Me More” featuring SZA.
Megan Thee Stallion was right behind with three awards—favorite female hip-hop artist, favorite hip-hop album with Good News, and favorite trending song with “Body”. Olivia Rodrigo collected the award for the new artist of the year, while Lil Nas X picked up the trophy for the best music video with “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)”.
The American Music Awards were held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on November 21st, with Cardi B serving as the host.
