BTS's Song Reaches A New All-Time High As The Band Reunites

BTS's 'Home' reenters the U.K. Singles Downloads and Sales charts, rising to new highs as fans ... More celebrate the group's return after the members' military service. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 03: BTS perform onstage during the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 03, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by) For years, BTS reigned as the biggest name in K-pop, and perhaps the most successful pop group on the planet. The South Korean troupe had to take a break as all seven of its members needed to fulfill mandatory military enlistment, and that hiatus lasted years. Recently, all of the singers in the band finished their tours of duty, and now the musicians that make up the Grammy-nominated act are free to pursue music once again. BTS recently announced that new music is set to drop in 2026 and that the group will tour once more. But fans aren't waiting to show their love to the septet. In the United Kingdom, ARMYs — the name BTS followers go by — have sent one track back to multiple charts, turning it into a bestseller years after its release. BTS Returns with 'Home' "Home" reappears on several U.K.-based rankings this week. The track, which was chosen by BTS fans en masse thanks largely to its name, reenters the Official Singles Downloads chart at No. 46 and the Official Singles Sales list at No. 49. 'Home' Appears for Only the Second Time "Home" has only appeared on both of these rankings twice, including this frame. As it returns, the cut reaches a new high point on both tallies. The tune debuted on the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts in April 2019 when it was brand new. At the time, it failed to reach the upper half of either ranking, and then quickly disappeared. Now, it approaches the top 40 and demonstrates that there's pent-up demand for BTS music, even if it's not new material. BTS's Return to Music Longtime supporters of BTS didn't flock to the group's biggest singles or highest-charting tracks to celebrate the return of the band, but rather focused their buying efforts, at least for the moment, on "Home," which was never selected as a single. The tune is featured on the group's EP Map of the Soul: Persona, which dropped in April 2019. By that point, the K-pop act was emerging as a true force on the charts outside of South Korea. That release went on to become the first BTS collection to hit No. 1 in the U.K., and as the EP reached the summit, the group became the first from South Korea to score a chart-topper in the country.

Michael Madsen remembered: All his Oscar-nominated films, from ‘WarGames' to ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'

One of the all-time great cinematic tough guys, Michael Madsen died July 3 at the age of 67. He was best known for his collaborations with Quentin Tarantino, beginning in 1992 with the writer-director's first film, Reservoir Dogs, in which Madsen played the psychotic Mr. Yellow. Madsen had a robust career with nearly 350 acting credits listed on IMDb, ranging from modern classics to straight-to-video potboilers. And he played key roles in the tapestry of several Academy Award-nominated and -winning films. More from Gold Derby The 'Jurassic' rebirth that never happened: How an Oscar-nominated screenwriter almost took the franchise in a wild new direction 'Back to the Future' at 40: All the ways the Robert Zemeckis classic was snubbed by the Oscars As we remember the work of Michael Madsen, here's a rundown of the Oscar nominated films in which he appeared. As a missile control specialist unwilling to compromise during a surprise drill, Madsen found himself at the center of one of the '80s most iconic suspense sequences. WarGames earned three Oscar nominations — for Best Original Screenplay, Cinematography, and Sound. Madsen embodied the dirtier side of baseball as the doomed Bump Bailey opposite Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs. The Natural snagged four nominations: Best Supporting Actress (Glenn Close), Cinematography, Art Direction-Set Design, and Score In a softer turn that audiences would usually get from Madsen, Jimmy represented an alluring alternative for Louise (Susan Sarandon). The film was one of the year's bigger Oscars players, nominated for Actress twice (Geena Davis and Sarandon), Director (Ridley Scott), Cinematography, Editing, and winning Original Screenplay for Callie Khouri's script. Madsen wore a marshal's badge as Virgil Earp, the older brother of Wyatt (Kevin Costner) and participant in the blood Gunfight at the OK Corral. Somewhat overshadowed by the release of Tombstone the year before, Lawrence Kasdan's western still earned an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography. Real-life Miami-based mafioso Sonny Black was brought to life by Madsen in the undercover cop thriller, which earned writer Paul Attanasio a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. Madsen's signature gravel lent itself well to voice-over work as evidenced by his role as the wolf Maugrim in the adaptation of C.S. Lewis' fantasy classic. The film itself got three technical nominations: Best Makeup, Sound Mixing, and Visual Effects. Tarantino recruited Madsen to be one of his numbered gunslingers for the locked-room western, in which he played Joe Gage, a cowboy with a secret or two or eight. The Hateful Eight earned three nominations — for Best Supporting Actress (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Cinematography, and the long-overdue win for Ennio Morricone's score. For their final collaboration, Tarantino cast Madsen as the kind of old-school working actor that he was one of modern film and TV's closest approximations. The film earned 10 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, winning two.

How does Wet Leg roll out a new album? It's just like 'rolling out the doughnut'

At Primavera Sound Barcelona, Rhian Teasdale, 32, emerges from smoke, stained the color orange by stage lights, gallantly flexing her arms in the air. She hovers over the mic, revealing bleached eyebrows and hair that fades from brown roots to pink. Her outfit is highlighted by a trimmed white shirt and neon fishnet leggings — a clear departure from the bohemian style that proved prevalent amid the release of 'Wet Leg' in 2022. Anyone who has seen the five-piece rock ensemble in 2025 will know that this is a visually different band than that of three years ago. 'It was five years ago that we made the 'Chaise Longue' video,' Teasdale says. 'People have seen your image as a certain way, and then you grow, you change. 'It's funny how much people expect you to stay the same, and it's somehow this big statement to grow and change.' She also notes that 'subconsciously,' she had chosen her former attire out of discomfort. Now, feeling more at home in her own skin, she can take a more authentic approach to herself. 'I did not want to be sexualized by men,' she reflects. 'The thought of showing any skin and anyone maybe thinking that it was for the male gaze made me want to cover up and not be noticed. 'It wasn't a conscious gear shift kind of thing, but there are a few things that I can look back on and pinpoint why I'm able to have so much more self-expression.' Still, their self-titled debut — as kitschy and cottagecore as it was in appearance and sound — certainly warranted the reception that it received, featuring tantalizing tracks such as 'Chaise Longue' and 'Wet Dream.' In the latter's music video, Teasdale and Chambers unforgettably prance around in long, blue dresses while sporting lobster claw gloves. But it would be 'Chaise Longue' that snatched up a Grammy award in the alternative music performance category; the band also won for alternative music album. For being stuck within the confines of an island populated by just 140,000 people, Wet Leg's rise was meteoric. Teasdale mentions that the lives of the Isle of Wight natives were 'completely changed'; she was a stylist assistant for commercials in London, bassist Ellis Durand was putting up scaffolding, drummer Henry Holmes was a surf instructor, guitarist Joshua Mobaraki worked in a café and Chambers had taken up a position making jewelry in the family business. Indeed, the 'very sleepy and small-minded' island off the coast of England, known for its beautiful coasts, isaltogether a grain of sand in the Channel, hidden underneath the mainland's shadow. 'You have to take a boat over there,' Teasdale says of the island. 'There's no bridge, there's no tunnel.' Though she's since moved to London, leaving it in the rearview at 18, she notes that Chambers, Mobaraki and Durand still call it home. Holmes also made the mad dash to the city. 'We're all just living our little lives and all of a sudden you're touring the world,' Teasdale says. 'It's crazy going to the Grammys and looking at all the famous people off the telly and just feeling very odd.' Though, it now seems that the group are well adjusted to fame, as they return for their sophomore album, 'Moisturizer.' It's a far more sonically expressive, authentic and raw record than that of its predecessor. Though no one can deny the hypnotic nature of hits like 'Chaise Longue' and 'Wet Dream,' the group has undeniably evolved and it shows across the entire 12-track project. It opens up with the oh-so-smooth 'CPR,' the second single released off the album, which Teasdale describes as 'walking up to a great height [and] jumping into the abyss that is love.' This proves to be a consistent theme across 'Moisturizer,' which often feels like Teasdale's ode to an aching heart. 'CPR' is just the 'launchpad' for the 'rest of the tunes to spawn from.' This pours into 'liquidize,' which teems with a sense of yearning, questioning in heartache , 'So many creatures in the f— world / How could I be your one?' On the rougher 'jennifer's body,' Teasdale's soft delivery shines through to say 'Every day starts and ends with you / Hold me down I get high on you' before taking a backseat and letting Chambers' guitar wail away. 'I think before falling in love this time around with my current partner, I just had no interest in writing love songs,' Teasdale confesses. 'I'd only dated men up until my partner… I feel like the world is so saturated with love songs from a very heteronormative perspective and I felt no interest in it at all.' As for the change of heart: 'I think love just hit me really heavy this time… I'm just so very, very, very, in love.' Hilariously, she also compares the album rollout process this time around to a fairly obscure occupation she was thrown into prior to the band's rise. Teasdale, who once worked as a baker, says their debut was like 'when you start a new job and you've been told you have to make doughnuts.' 'You don't know where any of the stuff is, so someone has to teach you... where the cookie cutters are, and where the box of sugar is,' she says, laughing. 'You know, just like rolling out an album, rolling out the doughnut, rolling out that dough.' A highlight of the album comes in their third single, 'davina mccall,' a mellow and dreamy song that references the famed British 'national treasure' known for her work as a TV presenter on 'Big Brother.' Teasdale says she watched the show as a kid in the 2000s and was always fascinated when McCall would turn to the camera and say, 'This is Davina, I'm coming to get you' when a contestant was eliminated. 'It was a very dramatic moment when Davina McCall was coming to get you,' she says. 'It's kind of a little joke that I'll come and pick you up wherever you are.' Teasdale says McCall even recently came to a Wet Leg show after the band had told her they'd written a song using her name. Thankfully, she was 'so cool' and gave 'the best hugs ever.' But fans will also be pleased to notice that the group has still maintained their signature, bold tongue-in-cheek style of lyrics. On 'mangetout,' Teasdale sings 'You wanna f— me? / I know, most people do' over a smooth riff and declares on 'pillow talk' that 'Every night I f— my pillow / I wish I was f— you.' 'The more muscular sound that is on this album is just the result of five people that have been touring together for something shy of three years,' she says. 'I think my sense of humor will always be the same… it's kind of impossible to leave that behind.' In the last few tracks, the album noticeably slows down. '11:21' is a beautiful song that finds strength in its simplicity. The title is a call back to the day Teasdale met her partner: 'Time goes by / But I feel the same about you since the day we first met,' she sings. It's sandwiched between 'don't speak,' which falls short of capturing the same essence that the rest of 'Moisturizer' is peppered with, and 'u and me at home.' The latter is the album's closer and features some of Chambers' best performances on the album; it's a befitting farewell to an excellent project. 'I think when you're really close with someone, it just means that you don't have to use words,' Teasdale says of working with Chambers. 'It's just easy and joyful and the most natural thing.' 'Moisturizer' hits streaming services and music store shelves on July 11, with all the potential of outperforming their debut, even with it being as successful as it was. Together, the band sounds more refined than three years ago and — if their recent performances are anything to go off of — looks to light up the stage on their North American tour, which starts in September and makes a stop in Los Angeles on Oct. 17. 'I'm just excited for people to hear the rest of the album, because it's just a fun album,' Teasdale says. 'We made it to be played live, so I'm excited for when it's not a secret thing anymore.'
