Shawn Mendes Hits The Road Again
Shawn Mendes is officially on the road again, and this time he’s packing a decade’s worth of hits and gratitude. Fresh off headlining Latin American festivals, the pop prince announced a sweeping tour across Europe and North America, promising fans a musical scrapbook from his 10-year career. From Kraków to the Hollywood Bowl, he’ll be joined by MARO, Lubiana, and Eddie Benjamin, depending on the continent. Mendes says his time away gave him fresh appreciation for the stage. Judging by the international itinerary, he’s making up for lost time one heartfelt falsetto at a time.

Neil Young Deep Cuts
Neil Young braved the rain, nostalgia, and a $1,500 crowd to dust off “My Boy”; a tender banjo ballad not heard live since leg warmers were in style. At an intimate benefit in Ontario, he mixed fan favorites with musical deep cuts rarer than a smiling DMV clerk, throwing in tracks like “Name of Love” and “Love/Art Blues” for good measure. But it was the emotional tribute to his son Zeke, played amid shivers and sentiment, that stole the night. Turns out even rock legends get misty-eyed, especially when wielding a banjo under Canadian clouds.

The Beaches Drop New Single
Canadian alt-rockers The Beaches are back and baring it all with their newest single, “Did I Say Too Much”, a raw, shimmering anthem about queer heartbreak that hits like a confessional in a dive bar at last call. Crowned Jack Saunders’ Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, the track leads the charge for their third studio album, No Hard Feelings, dropping August 29 via AWAL. With lyrics navigating tangled emotions and open relationships, it’s the kind of song that makes oversharing feel like a power move. To celebrate, the band is hitting the road with a massive tour and summer festival blitz, reminding fans across North America (and Europe) that they’ve got no hard feelings, just hard-hitting riffs.

Miley’s Most Experimental Album Yet
Miley Cyrus’ “Something Beautiful” is here, and it’s anything but subtle. The genre-hopping pop powerhouse dropped her latest album today, packed with a dizzying roster of indie, alt, and rock royalty. Think The Wall, but dipped in glitter and stitched with heartbreak, courtesy of collaborators like Brittany Howard, Jonathan Rado, Adam Granduciel, Flea, Danielle Haim, and even a Marie Davidson sample for good measure. Cyrus, who executive-produced the album with sonic wizard Shawn Everett, also dropped a visually lush companion film hitting theaters in June. With standout singles like “Easy Lover” and “More to Lose,” this record proves Miley didn’t just swing back, she built her own wrecking ball and invited half the underground to ride it.

Teddy Swims Has Longest Billboard RUN
Teddy Swims just made Billboard history and he’s celebrating with Joe Dirt and a whole lot of gratitude. His smash hit “Lose Control” has officially logged 92 weeks on the Hot 100, breaking the record for the longest run ever and dethroning Glass Animals’ “Heat Waves.” The soulful anthem, born in 2023 and powered by raw emotion, has also spent a record-setting 63 weeks in the Top 10, not bad for a song he once described as “lightning in a bottle.” Swims took to Instagram to shout “LET’S GO!!!!!!” and thanked Warner Records’ Aaron Bay-Schuck for his support, capping off the moment with a Joe Dirt tattoo reveal because, of course, Teddy Swims doesn’t just break records — he does it with a mullet.
