This momentous first edition features multiple covers from an exclusive photo shoot with the artist, plus behind-the-scenes stories and images shared exclusively by his manager Sonali Singh. It also features a cover story interview with Diljit Dosanjh covering his rise from a small village in India to becoming one of the biggest Punjabi stars in the world. There's an inside look at everything from his distinctive traditional-meets-modern fashion, his dancing and staging, to his global collaborations with artists like Ed Sheeran, Sia and Saweetie.

Fans and collectors can chart his journey in a special box set edition with four covers featuring multiple languages and looks, including one surprise edition aligned to a Billboard global initiative that will be revealed this December. There are also limited edition copies signed by Diljit Dosanjh himself.

The special edition and boxed sets are available by mail order and can be shipped anywhere around the world. As he announced at his concert tonight at the O2 in London, pre-orders are officially open today (October 18). They're expected to sell out quickly.

‘Golden’ From ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Wins Best Original Song at 2026 Oscars, But Speech Is Cut Short

EJAE spoke on behalf of the seven-person team behind the song, but when one of her co-writers started speaking, their acceptance speech was played off.

“Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters took home the prize for best original song at Sunday’s 2026 Oscars following a triumphant performance from the singing voices of HUNTR/X, but EJAE and company’s heartfelt speech ended up being cut short when one of her collaborators was prematurely played off.

By winning best original song at the 98th Oscars, “Golden” set several records, becoming the first K-pop song to win an Oscar; the first song with more than four writers to win an Oscar; and the first best song winner where all of the writers won’t receive an individual trophy.
