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. Charli XCX drops her new remix album of Brat, and Jimmy Fallon announces Holiday Seasoning —this is what you missed.
#1
Also Still ‘Brat’
Charli XCX dropped the full version of Brat and It’s Completely Different but Also Still Brat today. The new album is exactly what she’s telling us: the same but different. It’s flashy and bright and a collab with all the best; Ariana Grande, Troye Sivan, Lorde, Billie Eilish, and more. The 34 track list includes remixed versions of her previous Brat songs, like Robyn and Yung Lean coming together with Charli to create a snappier version of “360”. Happy Brat Fall!

‘Wicked: The Soundtrack’
The soundtrack of Wicked has just been set to release on November 22, with the movie’s release to theatres. Based on the musical that was inspired by Gregory Maguire’s novel, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo feature as main characters in the film as well as the soundtrack. It includes the duo’s versions of the musical’s most familiar songs: “Popular”, “Defying Gravity”, and the electrifying “No One Mourns the Wicked”.

The Tonight Show star Jimmy Fallon is expediting the Christmas spirit this year by announcing the release of his festive album, Holiday Seasoning. Last year, Jimmy released a holiday single with Meghan Trainor, “Wrap Me up” – but this year he’s going full Santa mode. Dropping November 1, the tracklist will include other previously released songs, as well as a possible collaboration with Justin Timberlake, teased during his appearance on The Tonight Show earlier in the fall: it’s the duo we never knew we needed.
