Lewis Capaldi Scores First U.K. No. 1 Since 2023 with Comeback Single ‘Survive'
Lewis Capaldi has scored his first U.K. No. 1 single since 2023 with his comeback track 'Survive.' On the Official Singles Chart dated July 4, the Scottish singer-songwriter is back at the top with his sixth chart-topping single. Capaldi previously hit the summit with 'Someone You Loved' (2018), 'Before You Go' (2019), 'Forget Me' (2022), 'Pointless' (2022), and 'Wish You The Best' (2022). More from Billboard Lewis Capaldi Announces Dates For 2025 U.K./Ireland Tour Following Triumphant Glastonbury Return: 'About Time I Got Back to Work' LL Cool J and Jazmine Sullivan Cancel Philadelphia Fest Appearances in Support of City Workers' Strike Lorde Bags First U.K. No. 1 Album With 'Virgin' The Official Charts Company reports that by shifting 68,500 chart units in its opening week (including over 4 million streams), 'Survive' surpasses Capaldi's previous 56,000-unit best, earned with 2022's 'Forget Me,' to secure the feat. Capaldi made a stunning comeback last weekend at Glastonbury Festival (June 27) with his first large live show in two years. He performed on the Pyramid Stage, returning to the place where he was forced to abandon his set following vocal issues back in 2023. Capaldi performed 'Survive' during the 30-minute set, and said that returning to 'finish' the performance was his main goal while he worked through mental health issues; a U.K. and Ireland tour is set to take place later this year. MK's collaboration with Chrystal 'Dior' holds steady at No. 2, while Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' falls from the top spot to No. 3. The latter has spent two non-consecutive weeks at the summit since its release in early June. Ravyn Lenae's 'Love Me Not' continues its impressive longevity by holding firm at No. 4, and Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club' closes the week at No. 5. Olivia Dean's 'Nice to Each Other' climbs to a new peak of No. 15, while PinkPantheress enjoys a post-Glasto boost for her song 'Illegal,' which rises 14 places to No. 22.

Lana Del Rey and Addison Rae Perform ‘Diet Pepsi' and ‘57.5' Together in London
Lana Del Rey's gone from singing 'Diet Pepsi' in her car to on her stage at Wembley Stadium — inviting opener Addison Rae back out to perform alongside her at her July 3-4 London concerts. Lana took verse one of Addison's single — with its lyrics about her ripped blue jeans, cherry red lips and body that's 'a work of art you'd die to see,' all of which wouldn't sound out of place in the earlier years of LDR's own discography — and Addison joined in on the 'untouched, XO, young lust, let's go' pre-chorus, with the two vocalists coming together on the hook: 'When we drive in your car, I'm your baby/ Losing all my innocence in the backseat/ Say you love, say you love, say you love me/ Losing all my innocence in the backsеat.' More from Billboard Addison Rae Announces Dates For Debut 2025 Headlining World Tour LL Cool J and Jazmine Sullivan Cancel Philadelphia Fest Appearances in Support of City Workers' Strike Lorde Bags First U.K. No. 1 Album With 'Virgin' 'Sooo good!!' Lana herself commented on a video of their duet that had been posted by a fan on Instagram after the London gigs. The pair also sang Lana's new ditty '57.5,' an earworm she'd debuted at Stagecoach that walks the line between owning her brand of fame and finding the humor in just how many millions of fellow melancholic music lovers must be out there — with a nod for country fans to catch. (Watch a clip of their London performance, as captured by the same Wembley concertgoer on Instagram here.) 'I still talk to Jesus, yes/ But I still call up psychics when I need advice/ I still fly commercial/ You need an autograph? S—, I don't mind/ If you want the secret to success, I suggest showing up in a Ross dress,' Lana sang, referencing the time she told red carpet correspondents she bought her Grammys dress at the mall, before both artists launched into the campy, catchy chorus: 'I got 57.5 million listeners on Spotify/ Roger Miller made 'em laugh/ I guess some folks still like to cry/ I ain't got a man, but maybe one of them is a fan of mine/ In that 57.5 million listeners on Spotify.' '@honeymoon I will never forget this,' Addison wrote on Instagram, recapping her momentous weekend sharing the stage with Lana. 'Thank you so much to the most beautiful divine woman, heart, soul, mind… Lana. I am the happiest and luckiest girl on earth. Being next to you is spiritual.' Ladybug, infinity and bouquet emojis were used in Lana's honor. 'Thank you @honeymoon. You are forever,' she added in another post from London, topping off this comment with a swan emoji. Before announcing Addison as an opening act or heading overseas for tour, Lana uploaded an Instagram Story that captured the sweet reaction she'd had upon vibing to 'Diet Pepsi' while driving her car, hand over her mouth and eyes tearing up. 'Diet Pepsi' was released as the first single from Addison's eponymous debut album, Addison, and was the influencer-turned-pop newcomer's first to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, in fall 2024. By the time of Addison the album's release last month, the set saw a No. 4 launch on the Billboard 200. Addison Rae was among a trio of opening acts announced just ahead of Lana Del Rey's U.K. and Ireland stadium run, a short stint of five shows. While the 'Headphones On' singer got the gig with Lana in London, London Grammar performed in Cardiff and BANKS joined the tour in Glasgow, Liverpool and Dublin. It's a wrap for Lana's tour, leaving fans to now await the unveiling of her 10th studio album, formerly known as Lasso and The Right Person Will Stay at different points of time. Its original release date was delayed to an as-yet-unknown date, and the project's current working title has not been publicly confirmed, but fans have so far heard the songs 'Henry, Come On' and 'Bluebird,' both available on streaming services — as well as live renditions of 'Stars Fell on Alabama,' 'Quiet in the South' and the aforementioned '57.5,' all assumed album tracks. Addison has her debut headlining tour to look forward to, with dates across select cities in Europe, North America and Australia spanning August through November.

Blackpink's New Song ‘Jump' Is About the Power of a Night Out With the Girls
On Saturday, Blackpink kicked off their Deadline World Tour in Seoul, surprising fans with a brand new track titled 'JUMP.' The fast-paced anthem is an ode to a night out with the girls and a very catchy dance song. The lyrics celebrate going wild with your friends because a certain unspecified someone just can't keep up. They had an extensive setlist with their well-known hits as well, including tunes from the members' solo albums. The song begins with Rosé and Jisoo narrating to a person, perhaps an old flame, explaining that wild feeling that takes over at times, especially in a relationship: Then Jennie and Lisa come in with a chorus encouraging everyone to run up on the dance floor and JUMP: The second verse is about sisterhood and never parking on the dance floor, leading to liberation: The chorus repeats before adding more to the theme of women dancing and jumping their feelings out: Finally, Blackpink promises, 'In your area, area.'
