Hozier is experiencing somewhat of a career renaissance thanks to the massive success of “Too Sweet”, and this song helped him reach new heights on the charts. It climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming his first single to hit No. 1 in the US.

“Too Sweet” reached new heights after generating 35.6 million streams, 14.1 million radio airplay audience impressions, and selling 6,000 copies to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. This moment was a long time coming, after we’ve seen this song top the charts all around the world, from the UK to Australia.

Hozier admitted he was “both thrilled and taken massively by surprise by such a staggering reaction” to this song in a video on social media. He also took a moment to thank his fans, adding “It means the world that you’re enjoying this song so much.”

“Too Sweet” was released as a part of Hozier’s EP Unheard, which hit the shelves on March 22 and featured four previously unreleased songs intended for his latest studio album Unreal Unearth. It debuted at No. 5 following its release, becoming Hozier’s first song since his breakout hit “Take Me To Church” to break into the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The Movie Critic was supposed to be Quentin Tarantino’s final film, but it seems that the Oscar-winning filmmaker changed his mind. According to recent reports, Tarantino decided to drop this project, which was supposed to star his frequent collaborator, Brad Pitt.

Tarantino’s career has always been full of surprises, and he just made one of his most unexpected decisions yet. Despite managing to build a lot of hype for The Movie Critic, he eventually decided to scrap this project and go back to the drawing board.

Brad Pitt, who previously starred in Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, was supposed to star in this film set in California during the 70s. It was also rumored that several cast members from the director’s previous films would take part.

Tarantino has been plotting his potential retirement for over a decade and said he’d like to wrap things up with a 10-film filmography because he wants to leave people wanting more.

“If I get to the 10th, do a good job and don’t screw it up, well that sounds like a good way to end the old career. If, later on, I come across a good movie, I won’t do it just because I said I wouldn’t. But 10 and done, leaving them wanting more – that sounds right,” he told Deadline in 2014.

Dua Lipa is gearing up for the release of her new album Radical Optimism, and she gave us a taste of things to come with another music video. The visual for “Illusion” is taking us to a lush pool in Barcelona, and it will make you wish that the summer was already here.

The Tanu Muino-directed visual sees Lipa showing off her best moves at the Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona. She’s surrounded by a group of synchronized swimmers, who climb the pool tower by the end of the video, and finish their elaborate choreography with Lipa delivering the last line, “You think I’m gonna fall for an illusion?”

“Illusions” was one of the songs that initially inspired her new album Radical Optimism, and she felt things were going in the right direction after recording it.

“When Kevin [Parker] and Danny [L Harle] came together and it was the live drums and the synths and the big music breakdown, in my head the big dance moment, when all those came together it was just a feeling. I had a feeling and I was like, now I have something to bounce off of,” she told Variety.

Radical Optimism will hit the shelves on May 3, and “Illusion” is the third single released from this album, following “Houdini” and “Training Season”.

Ti West’s X series gave us two amazing slasher films and the third sequel is finally on the horizon. Mia Goth returns as Maxine Minx in the first trailer for MaXXXine, which sees her trying to take Hollywood by storm during the ’80s, while a serial killer is on the loose.

Maxine Minx was the only survivor of the bloody massacre in rural Texas in the first X film, and the stakes will be higher than ever when she returns in this highly-anticipated sequel.

“In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past,” reads A24’s official logline.

MaXXXine is the third film in the X trilogy directed by Ti West and starring Mia Goth, following the success of X and its acclaimed prequel Pearl, which also centered on a young woman who aspired to be a movie star before finding herself on a deathly path.

MaXXXine will hit the theatres on July 5, and it will also star Kevin Bacon, Bobby Cannavale, Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Lily Collins, Halsey, and Giancarlo Esposito.

Grey’s Anatomy has been a part of ABC’s programming for almost two decades, and it’s not going anywhere. Despite rumors that its current season might be its last, the hit series has been renewed for Season 21, extending its record as the longest-running primetime medical drama in history.

Season 20 of Grey’s Anatomy is currently airing on ABC, but it’s the show’s shortest installment to date. Its run has been reduced to 10 episodes in the face of the dual strikes in Hollywood, but things are looking better for Season 21, which will reportedly feature 18 episodes.

It’s unclear who will return for the show’s next season since ABC is yet to renew the contracts with the show’s veteran cast members. Season 20 starred Chandra Wilson, James Pickens, Jr., Kevin McKidd, Caterina Scorsone, Camilla Luddington, and Kim Raver, plus the former lead Ellen Pompeo in a reduced capacity.

Season 20 also marked a major shakeup behind the camera, with Meg Marinis stepping up as a new showrunner, replacing Krista Vernoff. Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes praised her commitment in an official statement, saying her “storytelling is a gift that continues to keep the show vibrant, compelling and alive, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for next season.”

Pop-Tarts are the latest popular product getting Hollywood treatment in Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story. Netflix teased the release of Jerry Seinfeld’s new comedy with a hilarious trailer, and its cast is as star-studded as it gets.

Unfrosted marks Seinfeld’s feature film directorial debut, and it will take us to 1960s Michigan. It will chronicle the battle between sworn cereal rivals Kellogg’s and Post to introduce a pastry that will change the face of breakfast, which eventually led to the creation of the iconic Pop-Tarts.

Seinfeld first started developing this idea as a joke with a fellow co-writer Spike Feresten, and they were pretty intrigued by Pop-Tarts’ origin story once they started digging.

“We love the idea of grown-up men in suits talking about cereal all day. The silliness of how they look and what they talk about just seemed like a fantastic world to be in” Seinfeld told Tudum.

Seinfeld will lead the star-studded cast alongside Melissa McCarthy and Jim Gaffigan. Amy Schumer, James Marsden, Jack McBrayer, Bobby Moynihan, Maria Bakalova, Max Greenfield, Bill Burr, Dan Levy, Christian Slater, and Hugh Grant will join them in supporting roles.

Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story will premiere on Netflix on May 3.

Olivia Rodrigo’s music videos never disappoint, and she took things to a whole new level with her latest single “Obsessed”. The Grammy winner’s new visual shows her transforming into an edgy pageant queen to attend a ballroom party with her boyfriend’s exes.

The lyrics of Rodrigo’s latest single perfectly capture the destructive need to know more about your partner’s dating history. “I know her star sign, I know her blood type,” she sings before delivering the song’s explosive chorus, and what we see on screen perfectly captures her all-consuming feeling of jealousy.

Rodrigo is the only girl wearing black in the room of pageant queens attending a ballroom party for girls who all once dated the same guy. They all wear sashes that reflect their history together, ranging from “Miss Thought She Was the One” to “Miss Mom’s Favorite”.

“Obsessed” was released as the lead single from Guts (Spilled), which also features songs “Scared of My Guitar”, “Stranger”, “Girl I’ve Always Been”, and “So American”. They were previously featured on some vinyl editions of Rodrigo’s sophomore studio album before its deluxe edition hit the shelves on March 22.

The original edition of Guts also produced hit singles “Vampire”, “Bad Idea Right?”, and “Get Him Back”, and Rodrigo is promoting it with a tour across North America and Europe this spring and summer.

Dua Lipa has been teasing her third studio album for months, and she finally officially announced its release. Her long-awaited new record will be titled Radical Optimism, and she’ll share it with the world this May.

Lipa released an official statement announcing her new album and said she opted for the title Radical Optimism after a friend introduced her to this term a few years ago.

“It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life. It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm,” said Lipa.

In addition to announcing the album’s title, the Grammy-winning singer also shared the cover art, which shows her floating in an ocean, unfazed by a shark approaching her. She also shared a full tracklist of her new album, which will feature a total of 11 songs.

“Houdini” was released as the album’s lead single back in November and peaked at No. 2 in the UK, in addition to hitting the top ten in many other countries. It was followed by “Training Season”, which Lipa teased during her performance at this year’s Grammys.

Radical Optimism will be released on May 3 via Warner Records.

Usher has been fantasizing about headlining the Super Bowl halftime show for as long as he can remember, and his dream finally came true this Sunday night! The R&B sensation hypnotized the Super Bowl crowd with the medley of his biggest hits and brought out several special guests.

The NFL made it clear we should gear up for another nostalgic Super Bowl halftime show when they announced Usher as the headliner back in September. He was on top of his game on Sunday night and took us straight back to the 2000s with his hypnotic performance.

Usher didn’t have to do it all alone since several special guests joined him on stage. Alicia Keys was around for “If I Ain’t Got You” and “My Boo” before H.E.R. and will.i.am. hit the stage, while Lil Jon and Ludacris helped Usher close the show with a cover of “Yeah!”

Usher celebrated his halftime show performance by dropping his new studio album Coming Home just a few days before the Super Bowl. “Kissing Strangers” was released as its third single after “Good Good” ft. Summer Walker and 21 Savage, plus “Ruin” ft. Pheelz.

Super Bowl LVIII took place on February 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, and it marked the Kansas City Chiefs’ second consecutive title victory.

Season 20 of Grey’s Anatomy is currently airing on ABC, but it’s the show’s shortest installment to date. Its run has been reduced to 10 episodes in the face of the dual strikes in Hollywood, but things are looking better for Season 21, which will reportedly feature 18 episodes.

It’s unclear who will return for the show’s next season since ABC is yet to renew the contracts with the show’s veteran cast members. Season 20 starred Chandra Wilson, James Pickens, Jr., Kevin McKidd, Caterina Scorsone, Camilla Luddington, and Kim Raver, plus the former lead Ellen Pompeo in a reduced capacity.

Season 20 also marked a major shakeup behind the camera, with Meg Marinis stepping up as a new showrunner, replacing Krista Vernoff. Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes praised her commitment in an official statement, saying her “storytelling is a gift that continues to keep the show vibrant, compelling and alive, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for next season.”

Pop-Tarts are the latest popular product getting Hollywood treatment in Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story. Netflix teased the release of Jerry Seinfeld’s new comedy with a hilarious trailer, and its cast is as star-studded as it gets.

Unfrosted marks Seinfeld’s feature film directorial debut, and it will take us to 1960s Michigan. It will chronicle the battle between sworn cereal rivals Kellogg’s and Post to introduce a pastry that will change the face of breakfast, which eventually led to the creation of the iconic Pop-Tarts.

Seinfeld first started developing this idea as a joke with a fellow co-writer Spike Feresten, and they were pretty intrigued by Pop-Tarts’ origin story once they started digging.

“We love the idea of grown-up men in suits talking about cereal all day. The silliness of how they look and what they talk about just seemed like a fantastic world to be in” Seinfeld told Tudum.

Seinfeld will lead the star-studded cast alongside Melissa McCarthy and Jim Gaffigan. Amy Schumer, James Marsden, Jack McBrayer, Bobby Moynihan, Maria Bakalova, Max Greenfield, Bill Burr, Dan Levy, Christian Slater, and Hugh Grant will join them in supporting roles.

Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story will premiere on Netflix on May 3.

Olivia Rodrigo’s music videos never disappoint, and she took things to a whole new level with her latest single “Obsessed”. The Grammy winner’s new visual shows her transforming into an edgy pageant queen to attend a ballroom party with her boyfriend’s exes.

The lyrics of Rodrigo’s latest single perfectly capture the destructive need to know more about your partner’s dating history. “I know her star sign, I know her blood type,” she sings before delivering the song’s explosive chorus, and what we see on screen perfectly captures her all-consuming feeling of jealousy.

Rodrigo is the only girl wearing black in the room of pageant queens attending a ballroom party for girls who all once dated the same guy. They all wear sashes that reflect their history together, ranging from “Miss Thought She Was the One” to “Miss Mom’s Favorite”.

“Obsessed” was released as the lead single from Guts (Spilled), which also features songs “Scared of My Guitar”, “Stranger”, “Girl I’ve Always Been”, and “So American”. They were previously featured on some vinyl editions of Rodrigo’s sophomore studio album before its deluxe edition hit the shelves on March 22.

The original edition of Guts also produced hit singles “Vampire”, “Bad Idea Right?”, and “Get Him Back”, and Rodrigo is promoting it with a tour across North America and Europe this spring and summer.

Dua Lipa has been teasing her third studio album for months, and she finally officially announced its release. Her long-awaited new record will be titled Radical Optimism, and she’ll share it with the world this May.

Lipa released an official statement announcing her new album and said she opted for the title Radical Optimism after a friend introduced her to this term a few years ago.

“It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life. It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm,” said Lipa.

In addition to announcing the album’s title, the Grammy-winning singer also shared the cover art, which shows her floating in an ocean, unfazed by a shark approaching her. She also shared a full tracklist of her new album, which will feature a total of 11 songs.

“Houdini” was released as the album’s lead single back in November and peaked at No. 2 in the UK, in addition to hitting the top ten in many other countries. It was followed by “Training Season”, which Lipa teased during her performance at this year’s Grammys.

Radical Optimism will be released on May 3 via Warner Records.

Usher has been fantasizing about headlining the Super Bowl halftime show for as long as he can remember, and his dream finally came true this Sunday night! The R&B sensation hypnotized the Super Bowl crowd with the medley of his biggest hits and brought out several special guests.

The NFL made it clear we should gear up for another nostalgic Super Bowl halftime show when they announced Usher as the headliner back in September. He was on top of his game on Sunday night and took us straight back to the 2000s with his hypnotic performance.

Usher didn’t have to do it all alone since several special guests joined him on stage. Alicia Keys was around for “If I Ain’t Got You” and “My Boo” before H.E.R. and will.i.am. hit the stage, while Lil Jon and Ludacris helped Usher close the show with a cover of “Yeah!”

Usher celebrated his halftime show performance by dropping his new studio album Coming Home just a few days before the Super Bowl. “Kissing Strangers” was released as its third single after “Good Good” ft. Summer Walker and 21 Savage, plus “Ruin” ft. Pheelz.

Super Bowl LVIII took place on February 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, and it marked the Kansas City Chiefs’ second consecutive title victory.
