If you’re anything like us, we see an interesting headline during our daily scroll—pause to read it—but then keep scrolling without reading the actual story. So at the end of each week, we’re rounding up all the buzziest, news-worthy headlines you might have missed. Think of it like the “saved” feature on Instagram but for news instead of aesthetically pleasing photos. This is what you missed.

Beyonce is taking us all the way back to 2006 with a 20th anniversary edition of B’Day, released today as she celebrates her 45th birthday. The superstar originally released the B’DAY album on September 4, 2006, on her 25th birthday with hits we’ve still not forgotten. Now, two decades later, the album has been remastered and expanded into a 31-track digital deluxe edition packed with familiar favourites, new versions, and previously unreleased material. The project includes “Can I Watch You,” a collaboration with Pharrell Williams, “My First Time,” “Lost Yo Mind,” “Creole,” and some Latin collaborations.

Miley has a message for people who can’t put down their phones: dance! She has officially kicked off her new era with “Bass Persuades,” the first single from her upcoming 10th studio album of the same name. The track leans into ’80s-inspired synths and dance-pop beats, complementing the edgy lyrics and delivery. The superstar wants us to remember that life exists outside our phones and that life was fun back when we didn’t have social media and digital connection. The music video, which she released with the track yesterday (September 3), aligns perfectly with the core message of the song and really makes you want to get up and dance!

AC/DC is scheduled to perform at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium later this month, but their performance may be affected by the thunderstorm in Toronto earlier this week. The massive storm brought severe winds, rain and hail, leaving multiple seating structures collapsed and debris scattered throughout the concert venue. The group is slated to perform on September 16 as the closing show of the season in the venue, but for now, there’s no firm update on whether or not the show will hold. Fans are worried and eagerly waiting to know what’s going to happen.

ADÉLA is here to stay! The 22-year old Slovak singer-songwriter has released her debut album PRIMA, and if the title is any indication, she’s not entering the pop world with plans to stay small. Released on September 4, the 11-track project arrives as the singer continues her rapid rise following the viral success of “Ain’t in LA.” The hit song climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100, giving her her first chart-topper. The song also became her first entry on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Her new project includes previously released tracks like “KGB” and Red Bottoms as well as new songs including “Nicole Kidman,” “I’m The Man,” Boys, and “Therapy.”

Ariana Grande may be stepping back from the spotlight, but she’s not disappearing just yet. The singer and actress announced weeks ago that she will be taking a planned break from public appearances after her hugely successful Eternal Sunshine Tour. Before she goes, there’s one more major commitment on her calendar: promoting Focker-in-Law, the upcoming fourth installment in the Meet the Parents franchise. Ariana joins the cast of the movie alongside returning stars including Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. Looks like we’ll be seeing a little more of her before she takes a break.
