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. J-Hope and GloRilla team up for “Killin’ It Girl” and Sabrina Carpenter announces a new album—this is what you missed.
#1
J-Hope X GloRilla
J-Hope is out of uniform and back in his element, teaming up with GloRilla for “Killin’ It Girl”—a slick, globe-trotting anthem that pairs Korean charm with Memphis heat. The track, J-Hope’s fourth solo release this year, blends pop synths and sharp bars as he woos, and GloRilla warns. Directed by Cody Critcheloe, the music video links their worlds via a mysterious black cat, proving you don’t need to be in the same zip code to slay together. Fresh out of the military, J-Hope isn’t just making up for lost time—he’s rewriting the post-service comeback playbook.

Sabrina Summer
Sabrina Carpenter is back with a new album, Man’s Best Friend, dropping August 29 via Island Records. The follow-up to Short n’ Sweet features her viral hit “Manchild,” a cheeky summer anthem that’s already topped Spotify’s U.S. chart. She teased the album with a spicy Instagram Live and a cover showing a man at her feet—literally. With major festival stops and arena shows ahead, it’s shaping up to be another Summer of Sabrina.

Rest In Peace Brian Wilson
The world lost a musical titan, and the waves of tributes say it all: Brian Wilson, the soul of the Beach Boys and sonic architect of California dreams, has passed at 82—but his harmonies will echo forever. From Paul McCartney to Elton John, Carole King to Sean Ono Lennon, legends called him a genius, a friend, and an eternal influence. Whether sculpting soundscapes in the studio or conjuring sun-drenched symphonies, Wilson didn’t just change pop—he redefined it. As John Stamos put it, Brian didn’t just soundtrack lives—he filled them with color. God only knows what we’d be without him.

Half-Time Show – World Cup Edition
Soccer’s finally getting its own Super Bowl moment—just with more glitter and global flair. Doja Cat, Tems, and J Balvin will light up the first-ever FIFA Club World Cup Final Halftime Show on July 13, curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin (yes, really). It’s music meets fútbol for a good cause, as the star-studded set supports the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. Expect MetLife Stadium to turn into a dance floor with a mission—because when Chris Martin calls and Balvin, Tems, and Doja answer, the world watches, sings, and maybe even donates.

Traditional Country Back at the Grammys
The Grammys are giving old-school twang its own spotlight…yee-haw! Starting in 2026, the awards will add a shiny new category: Best Traditional Country Album, separating fiddle-laced, steel-guitar-rich storytelling from its more pop-polished cousin, now dubbed Best Contemporary Country Album. It’s a win for honky-tonk purists and genre-splitters alike, helping artists like Charley Crockett and Sierra Ferrell find a home without getting lost in the Americana shuffle. The Recording Academy’s message? Country’s not just going forward, it’s circling back, too.
