Backstage With Druski at His ‘Billboard 2025 No. 1s’ Livestream: Best Photos With Kehlani, Cash Cobain & More

It’s that time of year where Billboard unveils its year-end charts, revealing which artists, songs and albums dominated the past 12 months — but this time, Druski made the tradition his own by hosting a livestream with numerous special guests.

Airing live from Los Angeles on Tuesday (Dec. 9), the comedian joined forces with Billboard‘s Tetris Kelly and Trevor Anderson to name Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Teddy Swims, Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, SZA, Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen and more stars as the artists who landed the top 10 biggest entries on the Billboard Hot 100, Top Artists, Billboard 200 and Billboard Global 200 charts in 2025. Along for the ride were Kehlani, who shared her thoughts on Cowboy Carter and working with Mariah Carey, and duo Loud Luxury, who revealed Chappell Roan as their secret to a great DJ set, while Fuerza Regida teased a 2026 world tour and Cash Cobain lamented the risks of AI-generated music.

But while much fun was had on camera during the two-hour show — which streamed live on Billboard News‘ YouTube channel and on BillboardTV on Samsung TV+ — such was also the case behind the scenes. Luckily, Billboard captured it all, snapping photos of all the best backstage moments of Druski and his guests — partially in honor of the year-end No. 1s rollout, and partially in honor of the viral skit-maker’s first-ever Billboard cover, which went live the same day.

“We took a lot of different pictures, and I’m glad they ended up on this one, ’cause this shows my personality and everything,” Druski said while admiring his cover for the first time. “This is Billboard, so this is big.”
