Happy New Music Friday! The weekend is here, which means more streaming, new playlists and the best that music has to offer — and ET has you covered for everything in between.
Justin Bieber is back with SWAG II. The 23-track project features production by Justin in collaboration with Carter Lang, Dylan Wiggins, Dijon, mk.gee, Daniel Chetrit, Eddie Benjamin, Mike Will, Camper and more. Justin’s seventh studio album, SWAG, debuted as the most consumed album worldwide, landing at #1 on the Top Streaming, Pop and R&B Album Charts, marking the 10th Billboard 200 Top 5 album of his career and his 50th Billboard Global 200 hit. The album topped both the Spotify and Apple Music Album Charts, reaching #1 over 100 territories globally.
Lady Gaga released the music video for her new single “The Dead Dance,” which she debuted this week on Netflix’s “Wednesday” Season 2 (Part 2). The project marks her first creative collaboration with director Tim Burton. She and fiance Michael Polansky produced the video alongside Tim and Natalie Testa. Lady Gaga made a cameo as the mysterious Rosaline Rotwood on “Wednesday.” She shared “the inspiration for ‘The Dead Dance’ was a breakup. and it was all about the way that we sometimes feel when it’s over; how a relationship ending can kill our ability to feel hopeful about love.” Lady Gaga will make her return to the MTV VMAs where she will perform live from Madison Square Garden.
Tate McRae will also take the VMAs main stage for the first time. She is up for 6 awards and is currently in the middle of her Miss Possessive Tour. She kicked off the North American leg of her sold out tour last month. The tour supports her third studio album, So Close To What, which was released earlier this year.
MTV announced a powerhouse tribute of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler & Joe Perry, YUNGBLUD and Nuno Bettencourt, all coming together for a once-in-a-lifetime performance honoring the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, with a medley of his greatest hits. The MTV VMAs hosted by LL Cool J airs September 7 on CBS, MTV & stream on Paramount+.
The Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC) announced it will honor music industry icons John Legend, Irving Azoff, Kai Cenat, Apple & Apple Music, Sherrese Clarke and Primary Wave Music at its fifth annual BMAC Gala taking place on September 18 at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Mickey Guyton and Kenny Burns will host the event and celebrate the artists, executives, activists and brands who are using their platforms to advance equity and inspire change.
