Jelly Roll Hits A Career Peak On Multiple Charts With His New Smash

Jelly Roll Hits A Career Peak On Multiple Charts With His New Smash

Forbes04-06-2025
Jelly Roll's global profile has been growing for years now, but he has found the greatest commercial success in the United States, his home country. His music has recently begun taking off in the United Kingdom, thanks largely to a handful of popular collaborations.
The multi-genre superstar — who has scored hits in America on hip-hop, country, rock, and pop rankings — rises higher than ever on a number of tallies across the Atlantic by joining forces with one of the hottest newcomers in the global music industry for a quick new smash.
Jelly joins Alex Warren on his new single 'Bloodline,' which reaches multiple U.K. charts this frame. The tune debuts on four rosters, becoming a top 20 success on all of them and adding meaningfully to Jelly's short list of wins in each instance, as he hits a new career peak on every roster where the single debuts.
Perhaps most excitingly, 'Bloodline' launches inside the top 10 on the Official Singles chart, the ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.K. The Warren duet opens at No. 9, far outpacing the No. 67 peak of 'Lonely Road,' Jelly's previous team-up with MGK (formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly).
The same tune is also a win on the purchase-only tallies. Jelly collects his fourth career hit on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts, where 'Bloodline' launches at Nos. 14 and 12, respectively. The cut marks his first top 20 on the general sales list and his second on the downloads-only roster. On that ranking, 'Lonely Road' peaked at No. 20, so he easily claims a new high point.
'Bloodline' is also a top 20 winner on the Official Streaming chart, which looks only at plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. On that tally, Warren and Jelly launch their collaboration at No. 16. It earns the American musician his first placement on this format-specific list, which is surprising, given the popularity of some of his past releases.
While Jelly has been racking up hits in a number of countries, including the U.K., for some time, it's Warren's newfound popularity that is largely to thank for the success of 'Bloodline' this week. In addition to scoring a new top 10, Warren leads the charge once again with his cut 'Ordinary.' That track has ruled the main songs list in the country for 11 weeks, and it has proved to be one of the biggest successes of 2025 and a true breakout smash for the singer-songwriter.

After ‘Eddington:' 7 Offbeat Westerns to Watch Next

We've got some movies that'll scratch that itch Ari Aster's 'Eddington' is here. The movie, which pits a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) against his mayor (Pedro Pascal), set during the early days of the global pandemic, is fierce and raw. Considering this is from Aster, the director of 'Midsommar,' 'Hereditary' and 'Beau is Afraid,' it is also confrontational and strange and deeply funny, with the action set at the precipice of the complete breakdown in communication that accompanied lockdown. (Indiewire called it 'the first truly modern American Western.') More from TheWrap After 'Eddington:' 7 Offbeat Westerns to Watch Next 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Post-Credits Scenes Explained: Who Was That? Jamie Lee Curtis Watched Her Parents' Success 'Slowly Erode' as They Aged: 'That's Very Painful' 'Coyote vs Acme' Takes Digs at Warner Bros., 2026 Release Date Announced And if you come out of 'Eddington' looking for more offbeat westerns to watch, we've got seven that should fill that void nicely. 'Bad Company' (1972) In the 1960s and 1970s, there was a slew of what were referred to as 'acid westerns' – westerns that were set in the distant past but that embraced the counterculture of the period, including, of course, recreational drug use. (Hence the 'acid' in 'acid western.') These parallels are made explicitly clear in 'Bad Company,' which is one of the very best movies from that era and one of the more underrated. The movie stars Jeff Bridges and Barry Brown (who tragically took his own life before the decade was up) as two young men who dodge the draft during the American Civil War. The movie has an episodic structure, with the pair getting into misadventures along the way, gorgeously shot by legendary cinematographer Gordon Willis, as their wayward drifting transitions to out-and-out lawlessness. If you've seen it and are a fan of it or want to check it out now for the first time, Fun City Editions put out a terrific Blu-ray edition recently that is very much worth checking out. 'Walker' (1987) After making 'Repo Man' and 'Sid & Nancy,' British director Alex Cox turned his sights on a one-of-a-kind western. The movie stars Ed Harris as William Walker, an American physician, lawyer and mercenary who organized military expeditions into Mexico and at one point made himself president of Nicaragua. Like 'Eddington,' 'Walker' leans into the events of recent (and current) history – it was actually filmed in Nicaragua during the Contra War, a conflict that would have major implications for American politics. (Just Google Iran-Contra.) What makes 'Walker' really bonkers is Cox's use of historical anachronisms – there will be a Zippo lighter or a Coke can in scenes, and, if you don't know this going in, it can make you feel like you're going insane. Incredibly, Universal Pictures released the movie, selling it as a more straightforward western (in the trailer you here but never see a helicopter) and it promptly tanked. Since then, it has caught a second wind, and Criterion put out a killer Blu-ray that is very much worth your time. 'Unforgiven' (1992) Aster has openly stated that he was influenced by 'Unforgiven' in making 'Eddington,' and it's both easy and somewhat difficult to see. There is a meandering quality to the story in both 'Unforgiven' and 'Eddington,' and we mean that in a positive. If it's been a while since you've seen the Best Picture-winning Clint Eastwood film, there's a whole section of the movie where the wronged prostitutes hire an assassin named English Bob (Richard Harris), who totally punks out and leaves them high and dry, before they even find Eastwood's 'Will' Munny. There are so many narrative left turns and surprises, which translate to 'Eddington' (we don't want to give anything away), even if 'Unforgiven' is a much more traditional Western in tone and look. But hey, if you were looking for an excuse to rewatch 'Unforgiven,' consider 'Eddington' the reason. 'Lone Star' (1996) John Sayles' masterpiece, set in modern times and starring Chris Cooper as a sheriff who investigates the murder of one of his predecessors (Kris Kristofferson) years earlier, investigates time and how the past impacts the present. (These are things very much in 'Eddington.') What was striking about 'Lone Star' at the time – and what's still striking now – is how much iconography and narrative convention from a classic western could be grafted to something that would be considered a 'contemporary' film. These are themes and characters and even shot compositions that would not be out of place in a classic western, but dealing with modern concerns and moral ambiguity. (We don't want to ruin anything if you've never seen 'Lone Star.') Just watch it; it has a handful of award-worthy performances and a script by Sayles that was nominated for the Oscar for original screenplay. It also has a must-own 4K from Criterion. 'The Proposition' (2005) 'The Proposition' is bleak, even bleaker than 'Eddington' and with fewer jokes. But they do share a connective tissue in their desire to showcase a particular moment in time and the people who inhabit that moment. In 'Eddington,' it's 2020, and the breakdown of law and order around the pandemic is evident. In 'The Proposition' it's the 1880's, when criminals populated the Australian bush (like famous outlaw Ned Kelly) and English were brutally exterminating Australian Aboriginals. Like we said – bleak. Chances are you've never seen this one, which marked the breakthrough film of Australian director John Hillcoat, working from a screenplay by Australian musician Nick Cave, so we'll spare the details. We'll just say that Guy Pearce and Ray Winstone enter into a truly screwed up agreement that has dire consequences. Just watch it. It's worth it. Even if you have to close your eyes occasionally. 'The Counselor' (2013) Both more straightforward and more bonkers, Ridley Scott's underrated masterpiece 'The Counselor' is the perfect chaser to 'Eddington.' Like 'Eddington,' it is set in modern times, with deeply conflicted characters occasionally bumping up against and colliding with one another. In the only original screenplay written by the great Cormac McCarthy, Michael Fassbender plays a lawyer who gets in deep with some underworld types and attempts to save himself and his new wife (Penelope Cruz) from damnation. It's heady, for sure, but also extremely pulpy, with some of the best dialogue this side of the Rio Grande. (Most of it is too filthy to directly quote here.) Javier Bardem, Cameron Diaz and Brad Pitt all offer up superb supporting performances. And if you really want to feel the full power of 'The Counselor,' which we would put in the top 5 Ridley movies, watch the extended version. It gives everything more time to luxuriate. We are desperate for a longer 'Eddington', too, for that matter. 'Hell or High Water' (2016) What a movie – aesthetically 'Hell or High Water' is probably closest to 'Eddington' in its attempt to replicate the feeling of the old west in contemporary context. The movie, which people forget was nominated for four Academy Awards (including Best Picture), follows Chris Pine and Ben Foster, who are robbing banks to save their family ranch. Jeff Bridges is the Texas Ranger on their tail. They both tackle current-day social issues (the pandemic vs. the country's abysmal economic condition) but do it in an incredibly entertaining way, with Scottish director David Mackenzie upping the tension and Nick Cave and Warren Ellis delivering a beautiful, elegiac score (they also scored 'The Proposition,' see above). While 'Hell or High Water' might be more outwardly entertaining, it is still very much of a piece with 'Eddington.' Again: with fewer jokes and conspiracies.

‘It's an Easy Call,' Says Top Investor About Palantir Stock

Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock, like any investment, requires weighing the potential rewards against the risks. While the company continues to perform exceptionally well, the primary – and arguably only – factor giving investors pause is its elevated share price. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. That concern hasn't slowed the stock's momentum. Palantir shares have surged by over 500% in the past 12 months, and late last week, the company reached yet another record high. Its valuation multiples now tower over sector medians by thousands of percentage points, raising questions about whether the fundamentals can keep pace with investor enthusiasm. Next week's Q2 earnings report, scheduled for August 4th, could provide a timely reality check. It offers a critical opportunity for the company to justify its lofty valuation – or fall short of the market's high expectations. Top investor Rick Orford, who's ranked among the top 1% of stock pickers on TipRanks, is leaning toward the former scenario. He anticipates another upswing in PLTR shares following the earnings release, making it an easy call given the current trajectory. 'Should Palantir hit its Q2'25 targets – and with how the wind is blowing, that could happen – I think Palantir shareholders will be pleased. His optimism is rooted in both historical performance and Palantir's current momentum. Historically, the stock has swung an average of 17.5% following earnings – a double-edged sword, but one that Orford believes will cut favorably this time. Central to that belief is the company's AI Platform (AIP), which helped drive a 39% year-over-year revenue increase last quarter. That growth has been especially notable in Palantir's U.S. commercial segment, where AIP adoption led to a 71% revenue spike in Q1. According to Orford, this surge reflects a broader trend: companies across the country are scrambling to implement AI but often lack the in-house expertise. Palantir's AIP provides them with a ready-made solution. 'American enterprises are most likely desperate to implement AI solutions, but not all of them have the technical expertise to do so. With AIP, these enterprises get what they need to implement custom AI into their operations,' the investor explains. Orford also sees Palantir's government work as a key stabilizing force. Its deep ties to the U.S. defense sector – with multi-year, high-margin contracts – offer a steady revenue stream that cushions any slowdown in the private market. 'Palantir checks all the boxes of an exciting, growing company that's at the intersection of two major trends: enterprise AI adoption and national defense modernization,' the investor sums up. 'Analysts say Hold, but history says otherwise.' Unsurprisingly, Orford gives PLTR shares a Strong Buy rating. (To watch Orford's track record, click here) The analyst consensus on PLTR is indeed a Hold, based on 10 Hold ratings, 4 Buys, and 3 Sells. The average 12-month price target stands at $109.50, implying a 31% downside from current levels.

Trump announces U.S. deal with European Union to impose 15% tariff

U.S. President Donald Trump waves to the media while playing golf at Turnberry Golf Club in Scotland on Sunday. He later met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Photo by Hugo Philpott/UPI | License Photo July 27 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump on Sunday announced 15% tariffs on most foreign goods from the European Union, down from the threatened 30%, as part of a trade agreement with the 27-nation bloc. Trump announced the deal at his Turnberry Isle Country Club in Scotland after his public session with European Commission President von der Leyen. Trump said the European Union won't impose new tariffs on U.S. imports. During the meeting with the media, both leaders said the chance of a deal was 50-50. "You are known as a tough negotiator and dealmaker," von der Leyen told Trump, with reporters on hand. Leyen said the agreement "will bring stability. It will bring predictability. That's very important for our businesses on both sides of the Atlantic." Trump said the deal was "satisfactory to both sides." The European Union is the largest U.S. trading partner with $605 billion in goods yearly. The products are mainly drugs and pharmaceuticals, primarily from Ireland, as well as aircraft and heavy machinery, mainly from France and Germany. The 50% tariffs on steel, like most other nations, would remain and more duties could happen for pharmaceutical products, as well as semiconductors. Trump has also threatened a 200% tariffs on any drugs imported to the U.S. Trump said the deal would be "great for cars" and agriculture. Trump has previously noted that few American cars are sold in Europe. On April 2, he said he would impose a 20% duty against the EU, with most trading nations imposed a baseline 10%. He paused the retaliatory tariffs on April 9 for 90 days. In a letter to EU nations on July 12, the U.S. president threatened 30% retaliatory tariffs to take effect on Aug. 1. "Imposing 30% tariffs on E.U. exports would disrupt essential transatlantic supply chains, to the detriment of businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic," von der Leyen said after Trump's letter. Letters to other nations have threatened tariffs as high as 50%, including to Brazil. The Trump administration has been negotiating with other nations, including reaching deals with China (30%), Japan (15%), Indonesia (19%) and Vietnam (20%). Britain, which is not part of the European Union, has a reduction in some tariffs of 10% on up to 100,000 vehicles and 25% on steel and aluminum. Last year, the average U.S. tariffs on imports from the EU was 1.2%, according to Capital Economics' chief Europe economist. The deal with the European Union is part of a broader trade agreement. EU had a $58.7 billion overall trade surplus with the U.S. in 2024. For goods, it was $168.6 billion but the deficit was $126 billion in services trade. "The European Union is going to agree to purchase from the United States $750 billion worth of energy," Trump said. The E.U. would also invest $600 billion into the United States. In 2024, the bloc bought nearly $400 billion in goods. Michael Brown, a senior research strategist at British-based Pepperstone brokerage, told The New York Times that U.S. defense companies likely will emerge as winners from the deal.
