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. Mac Miller’s Estate announces new album Balloonerism, Apple Music names Billie Eilish Artist of the Year, and more — this is what you missed.

‘GNX’
Fresh off the press, Kendrick Lamar just dropped a 44 minute surprise album. 12 songs – 1 album, Kendrick is ending this year with a bang. Following a year of rap world feuds, GNX might be a step away from all the drama. With titles like “wacced out murals”, “reincarnated” and “heart pt.6”, this album might be the best surprise of the year.

“Hello Miss Johnson”
Jack is back. Releasing his first single since last year, “Hello Miss Johnson” brings a funny and familiar sound, subtly reminding us of OutKast’s iconic “Ms. Jackson”. If you’re looking for ways to impress your partner’s parent, check out Harlow’s step-by-step how-to video. You’ll need to sing, rap, deliver packages and order a mountain of pizzas and roses – just some pretty standard stuff.

Apple Music’s Artist of 2024
Drumroll please… Billie Eilish has just been named Apple Music’s 2024 Artist of the Year. Just recently nominated for seven Grammys, previously winning two at the beginning of 2024 for “What Was I Made For”, and releasing her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, the singer has had a remarkable year. The album reached the number one spot on Apple’s all-genre albums chart in over 100 countries, which is just one of the many reasons why she was honoured with this title. Go Billie!!!

‘Balloonerism’
Mac Miller’s estate has officially announced the release of Balloonerism, on January 17, 2025. The album, which his estate has said was created around the same time as Faces’ release in 2014, was significant to the late artist. On the instagram post made by his estate, it’s noted that Miller was so eager for the album that he was looking at artwork commissions and release dates already.

Including new and past interviews with band members and other footage, the interview will be a genuine tell-all about one of the most popular bands.
