    Ever find yourself hooked on a Netflix scene that sticks with you long after it’s over? Now, with Moments — a new mobile feature launching globally today on iOS and in the coming weeks on Android — you can easily save, relive, and share your favorite Netflix scenes. 

    Whether you’re replaying the intense final showdown in BEEF or a spooky twist in Wednesday, Moments lets you save and share it all. And with Season 2 of Squid Game coming on December 26, it’s the perfect time to revisit those nail-biting game sequences from Season 1 and get ready for what’s next.

    Here’s how it works: Let’s say you’re watching the latest season of Bridgerton on your phone and want to save the scene where Colin and Penelope share their long-awaited kiss in the carriage. All you have to do is tap Moments at the bottom of your screen, and it’ll automatically save to your My Netflix tab. 

    You can revisit your Moments anytime on your phone, and if you rewatch the episode, it will start playing right from the scene you bookmarked.

    Sharing Moments on Instagram, Facebook and other social platforms is just as easy. You can share a Moment as you create it, or from the My Netflix tab, you can select a scene and tap to share it across all of your platforms.  

    The roll-out of Moments coincides with a new Netflix global brand campaign called “It’s So Good”, featuring some of the most beloved and memorable moments that captivated fans worldwide — including Cardi B, Simone Biles and Giancarlo Esposito.

    IAM WORLDWIDE TAPS THE NATION’S GIRL GROUP “BINI” AS LIFESTYLE AMBASSADORS

    IAMWORLDWIDE x BINI

    The lucky streak of landing valuable brand partnerships continues for BINI.

    Leading health and supplements marketing company IAM Worldwide Corporation recently unveiled BINI as part of their 2024/25 roster of brand ambassadors.

    BINI is an eight-member girl group that debuted June 11, 2020, at the height of the pandemic. Dubbed as the “Nation’s Girl Group,” the group is composed of young, modern Filipinas who aspires to share their musical talent and creative spirit to the rest of the world.

    BINI

    The members include main visual Aiah from Cebu, lead vocalist Colet, Gwen of Albay, hardworking leader Jhoanna, main vocalist Maloi, lead rappers Mikha and Stacey, and main dancer Sheena from Isabela.

    Some of their hit songs include Salamin, Salamin, Pantropiko, Karera, Na Na Na, I Feel Good, Born To Win, etc.

    The group was signed as the face of IAM Worldwide’s Amazing Pure Organic Barley and its popular variant Choco Barley. 

    “Before we signed them, the girls and their parents informed us that they are avid users of Amazing Pure Organic Barley and Choco Barley,” says Allen Marvin Eder, co-founder & President. “Immediate effects were felt on the improvement of their health; taking barley daily gave them added energy and stamina to perform and be at their best. That’s why we are so happy to have the girls as part of the IAM Worldwide family.”

    “Like what BINI stands for, IAM Worldwide has always encouraged the youth to be at their very best,” adds Aika Lorraine Uy, co-founder & Vice President. “And having great confidence, passion and productivity is made better if one leads a healthy lifestyle.”

    General Manager & co-founder Joanna Mañego chimes in: “As a certified BLOOM, I watched their concert and bought whatever merch was available. I introduced them to my partners, so we are all thrilled and ecstatic.” 

    BINI

    “These are exciting times for IAM Worldwide as we welcome the country’s best girl group! Here’s to Aiah, Colet, Gwen, Maloi, Stacey, Mikha, Sheena and Jhoanna … cheers to good health and years of top-charting success!”

    IAM Worldwide officially welcomed the girls on stage during their recently concluded 7th Anniversary Event held last October 20, 2024 at the MOA Arena.

    Members of the group immediately expressed their happiness at joining IAM Worldwide. 

    “Salamat sa Amazing Barley at Choco Barley, nabibigyan kami ng extra energy,” says BINI Sheena. “Bukod sa masarap at refreshing, iwas sakit pa given our hectic schedules.”

    BINI Gwen also told the crowd, “Nag-research pa talaga ako and nakita ko eto yung best brand of organic barley. I also bought for my parents. I encourage every BLOOM to make this part of your daily regimen. Make sure you only get the original from IAM Worldwide.”

    As for BINI Aiah, she testified how “Amazing Organic Barley is my favorite. I have been drinking it morning and evening. Pampalakas at pampaganda!”

    BINI now joins the likes of Alden Richards, Marian Rivera, Heart Evangelista, Piolo Pascual, Small Laude, and more who are avid fans of the products exclusively distributed by IAM Worldwide.

    Last July, Bini became the first Filipino pop act to perform at the annual KCON music festival, showcasing their newest song “Cherry on Top” at the pre-show event of KCON LA 2024 in Los Angeles.

    Spotify welcomes BABYMONSTER as its Newest RADAR KOREA Artist

    Spotify will launch a bespoke RADAR campaign to continue to propel BABYMONSTER in the global music scene.

    Spotify, the world’s most popular audio streaming subscription service, announced that BABYMONSTER has been selected as the newest RADAR KOREA artist.

    Spotify’s RADAR program is a global initiative created to support emerging artists on their journeys to superstardom. By providing tailored resources, RADAR helps artists at every stage of their development, while strengthening their connections with fans and new listeners. Since its inception in 2020, RADAR has spotlighted over 900 rising talents worldwide, including now international sensations such as The Kid LAROI, Lauv, Tyla, and Lil Baby. In Asia, the program has elevated artists in South Korea like NMIXX, Huh, LE SSERAFIM, Zior Park, RIIZE, and Filipino artists such as BINI, Maki, and Hev Abi.

    Globally, RADAR artists have thrived under the program. They have been featured on more than 5,000 Spotify editorial playlists, and have, on average, seen a 40% increase in monthly listeners and a 30% growth in streams six months after becoming RADAR artists.

    BABYMONSTER quickly captured attention with their powerful performances and unique edgy sounds, as seen with their hit songs like “BATTER UP” and “SHEESH”.

    For their entry into RADAR, Spotify will support BABYMONSTER with its best-in-class editorial support and a bespoke campaign aimed at further broadcasting their talent and colors in the global music scene. In addition to fueling the discovery of the group’s music on playlists such as RADAR KOREA, Spotify will also release a host of exclusive content on its K-Pop ON! Spotify YouTube channel.

    This November, fans can also look forward to catching BABYMONSTER at RADAR LIVE. An initiative under the RADAR program, RADAR LIVE was conceptualized to broadcast RADAR Korea artists to a broader audience through interactive experiences. RADAR LIVE is set to be held in Seoul and will be live-streamed for fans and listeners around the world. Listeners can stay tuned to @SpotifyKR on Instagram for updates and more details on BABYMONSTER’s RADAR campaign.

    As of October 2024, BABYMONSTER has over 7 million monthly listeners and 2.6 million followers on Spotify, amassing fans from around the world in their rookie year. Just months after their debut, BABYMONSTER’s “SHEESH” ranked #5 on Spotify’s Global Impact List for South Korea, which recognizes the tracks by local artists that made the most global impact in the first half of 2024. The track is their most-streamed song on Spotify to date, followed by “BATTER UP” and “LIKE THAT”.

    “The RADAR KOREA program bolsters Spotify’s mission of helping artists break through to global audiences by connecting them with new listeners worldwide,” said Jungjoo Park, Spotify’s Head of Music, Korea. “We are excited to welcome BABYMONSTER into RADAR, and can’t wait to see them continue to captivate even more fans with their incredible talent and charisma.”

    “We are honored to be part of Spotify’s RADAR KOREA program and thrilled for the opportunity to reach more listeners across the globe,” said BABYMONSTER. “This is just the beginning of our journey, and we can’t wait to share more of our music with the world.”

  • Jinjer to Return to Manila for Headline Show in February 2025

    Jinjer to Return to Manila for Headline Show in February 2025

    THE HEAVY METAL BEAUTY AND BEAST THAT IS JINJER RETURNS TO MANILA THIS 2025. TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN NOVEMBER!

    Ask any heavy metal fan who isn’t brain dead (yet) from all that headbanging and chaos, and chances are, they’ll be quick to share and agree that Ukranian modern prog-metallers JINJER are among the esteemed few leading the charge for the brutal subgenre for the past decade.

    Technical grooves, brutal growls, and soaring melodic vocals have put the band in the esteemed position of being one of the most acclaimed by both fans and critics. Still, it’s also their unmistakable knack for tackling realistically dark themes and converting them into epic crowd anthems and music videos that have earned the respect of audiences worldwide and even their peers.

    Led by both enchanting and empowering vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk, the band – rounded out by guitarist Roman Ibramkhalilov, bassist Eugene Abdukhanov, and drummer Vladislav “Vladi” Ulasevich – has garnered millions of cross-platform streams and views worldwide, climbing the ladder to success since their official formation in 2009, with an intense touring ethic (supporting heavyweights in the game like ARCH ENEMY and CRADLE OF FILTH) and a no-guts-no-glory attitude when it came to refining and releasing what would be hailed as vintage Jinjer tunes, which were riddled with various styles outside the genre including funk, soul, R&B, jazz and even reggae – which was even hard to ignore by their peers.

    The band’s 2017 single “Pisces” is their biggest to date, with its live video performance currently 88 million views. Recently, the band released “Someone’s Daughter,” and have just announced that their long-awaited fifth studio album Duél is set to be released next year, February 7th, 2025, fired-up with the release of the musically dizzying and wonderfully technical single “Kafka,” which can be heard now on all online music platforms and streaming sites.

    Of course, the best news of all is that the band WILL be returning to Manila, which is a heavy metal delight to its legion of supporters and friends. It has been a crazy six years since the band was last here (as part of PULP Summer Slam XVIII: Of Good and Evil…) and fans rejoiced when it was announced that they would return to headline their very own show, JINJER ASIAN TOUR 2025 IN MANILA happening February 18th, 2025 at the Skydome, SM North EDSA.

    Jinjer

    Tickets will officially go on sale starting November 15th, 2024, 12PM through SM Tickets outlets nationwide and online via smtickets.com, so no heavy metal fan worth their weight will want to miss this opportunity to witness the heavy metal havoc in the flesh.

    TICKET PRICES:

    • VVIP (Includes M&G and Priority Entry) — Php5,000
    • VIP — Php3,850
    • GENERAL ADMISSION — Php2,850

    *ticketing charges apply.

    Jinjer

    For more details about the show, fans can visit pulp.ph and follow PULP Live World on their official social media pages.

    See you in the pit! Raise them horns! JINJER IS COMING.

    Multi-platinum-selling band, Simple Plan announced their upcoming documentary chronicling their successful career, as they tour the world in anticipation of their 25th anniversary. The untitled documentary, which is currently in production with Sphere Media, was announced by lead singer Pierre Bouvier live on stage in front of thousands of fans at the When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas this past weekend. The documentary will launch globally on Prime Video in 2025.

    “This movie is the centrepiece of the band’s 25th anniversary celebrations and probably one of the most ambitious and special project we’ve ever been a part of. Reaching this milestone felt like the perfect moment to look back, reflect and give our fans an inside look into our lives, both on tour and at home,” said the members of Simple Plan. “We gave director Didier Charette unprecedented access to the band, and our archives, and trusted him to tell our story. He travelled with us on tour for an entire year and, in the process, really captured the essence of who we are as a band and as people. We’re so proud of this movie and can’t wait for our fans to watch it and get to know us like never before!”

    “Simple Plan is one of the most iconic bands from the 2000s, who have proven staying power as they continue to connect with audiences of all ages,” said Shaun Alperin, Head of Content, Prime Video, Canada. “Their music and fun-loving personalities have inspired millions of fans, and we’re thrilled to bring their story to Prime Video.”

    The film will chronicle the formation of Simple Plan in Montreal in the late 1990s, their rise to global stardom with hits like “Welcome to My Life,” “Perfect,” and “The Antidote,” and their continued impact as one of the most successful punk rock bands that continues to sell out shows worldwide. The documentary will feature never-before-seen archival footage, along with new interviews with the band members and celebrated icons of the punk rock community including Mark Hoppus (Blink 182), Avril Lavigne, Dexter Holland & Noodles (The Offspring) and Fat Mike (NoFX). The documentary is produced by Sphere Media with executive producers Bruno Dubé, Renaud Chassé and Marie-Hélène Tremblay, and producer Samuel.

  • Multi-Platinum Singer-Songwriter elijah woods Shares Tender Love-Focused New EP “Elijah Would!”

    Multi-Platinum Singer-Songwriter elijah woods Shares Tender Love-Focused New EP “Elijah Would!”

    October 25th, 2024 – Following the success of his previous EP, ‘Hey There Elijah’, multi-platinum artist and producer elijah woods is back with his latest project, ‘Elijah Would!‘, released today. The six-track EP reveals a more intimate side of his artistry, showcasing a deeper emotional vulnerability in a way that feels both personal and universal. Fans can stream the EP HERE.

    ‘Elijah Would!’ delves into tender, love-focused themes, offering a softer, more reflective vibe. While his previous EP, ‘Hey There Elijah‘ (released in late September), delivered a dynamic fusion of nostalgic pop with gritty indie-rock undertones, ‘Elijah Would!‘ strips things back for a raw, introspective journey that reveals a more nuanced and heartfelt side of his musical identity. He shares: “I wanted to highlight the gentler, more personal side of my music.” Together, these two EPs craft a compelling narrative of emotional growth and life’s evolving complexities.

    Collaborating with acclaimed co-writers Jack LaFrantz (Benson Boone, “Beautiful Things”) and Andrew Goldstein (LANY, blackbear, MKTO), and bringing the project to life with co-producers TMS (Lewis Capaldi, Dua Lipa) and Jason Suwito (Benson Boone, Imagine Dragons), ‘Elijah Would!’ blends his heartfelt songwriting with top-tier production to create a sonically rich and emotionally resonant EP.

    The EP’s focus track, “Skin & Bones”, is a heartfelt love song that beautifully captures the essence of elijah’s relationship with his wife, Hannah. Written just a week before their wedding, the track reflects the couple’s emotional journey as they prepared to embark on a new chapter together. “We wrote “Skin & Bones” in under an hour,” elijah shares. “It’s a deeply personal song that captures this special moment in our lives.” With its raw intimacy and genuine emotion, “Skin & Bones” is a celebration of love at its most transformative.

  • LADY GAGA RELEASES “DISEASE,” FIRST SINGLE FROM HER FORTHCOMING ALBUM, DUE FEBRUARY 2025!

    LADY GAGA RELEASES “DISEASE,” FIRST SINGLE FROM HER FORTHCOMING ALBUM, DUE FEBRUARY 2025!

    13-time Grammy Award-winner Lady Gaga today released “DISEASE,” the first single from her forthcoming album (affectionately dubbed LG7), due Spring 2025. Stream/download “DISEASE” HERE. Watch the accompanying lyric video HERE.

    Marking her highly anticipated return to pop, LG7 will follow the release of Harlequin, a concept album that serves as a companion piece to the film Joker: Folie à Deux. Harlequin—which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Jazz chart and in the top 20 on the Billboard 200—was praised by critics including ROLLING STONE, who described it as “[a] luxuriant album of jazzy swing, mostly standards, right in her sweet spot,” while THE NEW YORK TIMES remarked that “Gaga can, of course, nail a theatrical tune like this in her sleep, but she brings a fresh energy to ‘The Joker’ by giving it a kind of rock operatic arrangement, complete with electric guitar and a punkish growl in her voice,” with USA TODAY calling it “easily one of her finest moments on record,” noting that “it is impossible to hear Harlequin and have nothing but increased respect for the singer/actress.”

    Lady Gaga continues to reign on the Billboard Global 200 with her smash hit “Die With a Smile,” which has topped the chart for eight consecutive weeks, making it the longest-running #1 on the Global 200 this year. The song has amassed 1.06 billion all time global streams across DSPs since its release. Currently the #3 most-listened-to artist in the world on Spotify (and one of only five artists in history to reach over 100 million monthly listeners), Lady Gaga’s other 2024 projects include her collaboration with The Rolling Stones on “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” and the concert film GAGA: CHROMATICA BALL, both of which earned critical acclaim upon release.

    October 25th, 2024 – Manila, Philippines – LINKIN PARK – Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, Emily Armstrong, and Colin Brittain – reveal an emotionally-charged new single entitled “Over Each Other”. Listen HERE. Watch the Joe Hahn-directed music video HERE.
    This time around, the song revolves around a striking, soulful, and soaring solo vocal from Emily Armstrong. Icy keys flicker over a glitchy beat backed by guitar as her voice rings out on the refrain, “All we are is talking over each other.” The cinematic video – directed by Joe Hahn and shot on location in Seoul – follows the intense dramatic arc of a relationship literally about to crash, capturing the turbulent emotional ebb and flow of the track itself.

    Linkin Park – “Over Each Other”

    “Over Each Other” precedes the much-anticipated arrival of LINKIN PARK’s first album since 2017, ‘FROM ZERO’, on November 15. Pre-save HERE via Warner Records.

    “This song is an extra special one for me, because it’s my first solo vocal in LINKIN PARK… I can’t believe I’m saying that!” says Armstrong. “But it’s also such an emotional and relatable song. And then to shoot the video in Korea with Joe, who is so brilliant at what he does, is something I will cherish forever.”

    Hahn adds, “It’s been a dream of mine to direct a project in Korea one day – and it finally happened! Emily and I stayed a few extra days after our Seoul show and are so grateful to the cast and crew who helped us out. We really embraced the K-ness of it all, wanting it to feel like a true K-drama. We hope you all love it as much as we do!”

    LINKIN PARK ignited this season with “The Emptiness Machine”. It has exploded as the #1 rock song in the country and the biggest rock song of 2024. It made a rapid climb to #1 on both the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart and Alternative Airplay Chart. In total, the band have scored a staggering 13 #1 entries on the latter chart (the second-most in history) with three in the last eighteen months.

    Thus far, “The Emptiness Machine” has gathered a quarter-of-a-billion global streams and counting. Their latest drop of “Heavy Is The Crown” last month is following fast in the same path, eclipsing 270 million streams and 55 million YouTube views.

    mikah – The Making of “CHASING PARADISE” ** RELEASING ON 25 OCT, 8:00 PM (GMT +8) **

    “This song is about life, comparing the life I imagined as a child with the life I have today, and
    reflecting on the path I have taken so far in my own life. Being from Hawaii, I am often thought of
    as having grown up in paradise, and I am not wrong, but even in a paradise like Hawaii, it rains.
    And even when you are happy that you have succeeded and have paradise, you are still chasing
    after the next paradise. This song deals with such a big theme. It seems to suggest my own future.”

    — mikah

    At its core, “CHASING PARADISE” is a reflection on the realities of pursuing life’s ideals and the importance of enjoying the present amidst that pursuit. The song delivers a poignant message about not losing oneself in the pursuit of the ‘perfect paradise’. With its pop-forward melody, the track expresses the internal conflict between ideals and reality, striking an emotional chord with listeners and inviting them to reflect on their own journeys.
    While “CHASING PARADISE” brings a brighter, more upbeat energy compared to his previous release, “MAYBE IT’S ME“, it showcases mikah’s musical diversity, blending infectious pop hooks with emotionally layered storytelling. With its festival-ready rhythm and uplifting chorus, “CHASING PARADISE” is poised to become the feel-good anthem for large crowds at music festivals and live shows, setting the tone for his appeal on the global stage. mikah has won the hearts of fans across Asia as he continues to evolve as both an artist and a global figure.

    M2M Live in Manila Ticket Prices and Seat Plan

    Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn, who shot to international fame in the early 2000s, are returning to the stage to celebrate their legacy. 

    “It was never a question of where we’d start our tour if we ever reunited – Asia was always the first choice. Some of our best memories are from there.” says Marion Ravn.

    2025 marks the 25th anniversary of M2M’s best-selling album «Shades of Purple”, and the fans of the duo have continued to listen to their music and begged for a reunion for a long time. Following their split in 2002, both Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn pursued successful solo careers, but the duo never performed together again – until now.

    On September 22nd (twenty-five after nine) Marit and Marion’s followers were sent into a frenzy when M2M posted a video of themselves singing a snippet of their most-streamed hit, “The Day You Went Away“. The clip went viral, racking up millions of views within hours, as fans flooded the comments with tour requests. And now, it’s finally happening.

    “The Better Endings Tour” is the beginning of a new chapter for M2M, and it brings them back to Asia. Despite spending nearly a decade together, travelling all over the world and selling over 12 million albums worldwide, M2M never embarked on their own headlining tour. 

    “We’re finally getting to do what we always dreamed of. “I can’t wait to get back on stage playing music with Marit again”, says Marion.

    “Making “Shades of Purple” changed our lives forever, and playing these songs together again, in the same room, while rediscovering both our music and our friendship at the same time, is a particular kind of magic. It feels powerful, like a celebration, Marit says.

    “Let’s give this story a better ending. The ending it deserves. We truly can’t wait to see you (again).”
