Benson Boone’s beautiful year continued Wednesday (April 10), as the breakout artist performed his signature song on late-night TV.

Sporting a smart suit, the Washington singer, songwriter and TikTok standout stopped by NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a rendition of “Beautiful Things.”

Lifting from his LP Fireworks & Rollerblades (via Night Street Records/Warner Records), “Beautiful Things” has had an impressive, global ride, logging seven nonconsecutive weeks atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, five atop Australia’s ARIA Chart, and is on track for a fourth week at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart. In the U.S., “Beautiful Things” peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. On YouTube, the official music video has passed 100 million views in just two months.

For his late night spot, Boone lead a full a full backing band, a taste of the world tour that kicked off last week in Chicago.

“Man,” he told Billboard ahead of his current jaunt, “all I’ve been thinking about is the tour, and I’ll be going some places that I’ve never been before. But after the tour, and after all the shows, I’m really looking forward to just being with my friends. I think we’re gonna go on a trip to Greece and have two weeks and just live my life.”

The 21-year-old has been a regular on network TV this week. Earlier, he performed his hit for Today, looking relaxed in jeans, jacket and a bandana.

Bad Bunny Turns the World Into His Casita With Triumphant Super Bowl LX Halftime Performance: Critic’s Take

The global superstar called for unity without hiding from confrontation in a brilliant, career-defining performance.

Few halftime shows had as much at stake while simultaneously having nothing really to lose than Bad Bunny‘s halftime performance at Super Bowl LX on Sunday (Feb. 8). On the one hand, the gig comes with all eyes on it — minus the likely comparatively small amount of those who tuned in to the alternate Turning Point USA halftime show — after the Puerto Rican superstar’s halftime selection was loudly decried by a select few reactionary pundits who probably couldn’t tell Karol G from Kenny G anyway. On the other hand, Bad Bunny has been on such a winning streak in just about every way possible over the past 13 months — including most literally at the Grammys last Sunday — that his gig on the world’s biggest stage came at a time when it really couldn’t do anything but further confirm his status as one of the world’s most globally dominating and beloved superstars.
