Doechii Hits No. 1 For The First Time On Several Charts
Doechii just keeps getting bigger, seemingly by the day, and Alligator Bites Never Heal is growing by leaps and bounds on the charts. The rising hip-hop superstar's mixtape, which dropped in August 2024, has only picked up steam since its release. Months after winning the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, the project is still reaching new heights, and this frame, it surges back onto several U.K. rankings – even leading the charge on several rosters.
Alligator Bites Never Heal appears on five U.K. music charts. It didn't land on any of them just a few days ago, though it's also not new to any of the lists. Doechii doesn't just reclaim space on these tallies — she manages a new career best on every single one where her breakout effort can now be found.
Among the five tallies where Alligator Bites Never Heal reappears, two stand out above the rest. This week, the mixtape hits No. 1 on both the Official Vinyl Albums and the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums charts. These wins mark Doechii's first-ever No. 1 placements on albums rosters in the U.K.
As if two No. 1s weren't enough, Doechii also earns a pair of top 10 appearances on other tallies. Alligator Bites Never Heal reenters the Official Physical Albums chart at No. 4. Meanwhile, it settles at No. 5 on the Official Albums Sales roster. Both placements are new personal bests for the rapper.
Over on the U.K.'s most competitive album ranking, the Official Albums chart, which blends sales and streaming data, Alligator Bites Never Heal also scores a major new win. The Grammy-winning mixtape reenters at No. 40, and this week marks the first time it's cracked the top 40.
While Alligator Bites Never Heal continues climbing, the set's big single "Denial Is a River' remains on four U.K. charts, helping keep attention focused on the Grammy winner's current era. However, it's an older tune — "Anxiety" — that's managing an even bigger resurgence.
Originally released as a standalone single years ago, "Anxiety" recently went viral, and a brand new music video Doechii dropped to capitalize on its newfound popularity is helping it continue to soar. The Gotye-sampling track is truly thriving in the U.K., appearing on five separate tallies this frame. It even debuts on one and sits comfortably inside the top 10 on four others.

Cleo Laine, Grammy-winning jazz singer, dies at 97: Reports
British jazz singer Cleo Laine, who performed with musical greats such as Frank Sinatra and starred as an actor in London's West End and on Broadway, has died at 97, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The Guardian and The New York Times reported the news July 25, citing a statement from Laine's children, musicians Jacqui and Alec Dankworth. "It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved mother, Cleo, who died peacefully yesterday afternoon," the statement to The Guardian read. "We will all miss her terribly. The family wish to be given space to grieve and ask for privacy at this very difficult time." The Stables Theatre, a U.K. music venue that Laine co-founded with her late husband, confirmed the news in a statement posted to its website. Born to an English mother and a Jamaican father in a suburb of London in 1927, Laine initially worked as a hair-dresser, a hat-trimmer and a librarian. She first married in 1946 and had her first son, Stuart. Driven by her dream of becoming a singer, she divorced and got her big break in 1951, when she joined the band of English saxophonist and clarinetist John Dankworth at 24. How Clementine Campbell became Cleo Laine At the time, she had thought she'd been born Clementine Campbell, though a passport application later revealed her mother had used her own surname Hitching on the birth certificate. The men of the Dankworth Seven band thought her name was too cumbersome for a poster, and that her nickname Clem was too cowboy-like. They settled on a new stage persona for her by drawing "Cleo" and "Laine" from hats. In 1958, she and Dankworth married. Their home became a magnet for London's jazz set: Friends included stars from across the Atlantic such as Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald, Lester Young and Dizzy Gillespie. After acting as well as singing in Britain through the 1960s, Laine toured Australia in 1972 and performed at New York's Lincoln Centre. The recording of a further show, at Carnegie Hall, won her a Grammy Award. Her recordings included "Porgy and Bess" with Ray Charles. In 1992, she appeared with Sinatra for a series of shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London, but she was best known for her work with Dankworth's bands. He later became her musical director. The couple built their own auditorium in the grounds of their home near London and were friends with Princess Margaret, the sister of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Their two children went on to become musicians. Dankworth – who Laine described as being "joined at the hip" with her – died in 2010. Hours after his death, Laine performed a scheduled show in their auditorium, announcing the news about her husband only at the end of the concert. Contributing: KiMi Robinson, USA TODAY

Jazz legend Chuck Mangione, known for ‘Feels So Good,' dies at 84
NEW YORK (AP) — Two-time Grammy Award-winning musician Chuck Mangione, who achieved international success in 1977 with his jazz-flavored single 'Feels So Good' and later became a voice actor on the animated TV comedy 'King of the Hill,' has died. He was 84. Mangione died at his home in Rochester, New York, on Tuesday in his sleep, said his attorney, Peter S. Matorin of Beldock Levine & Hoffman LLP. The musician had been retired since 2015. Perhaps his biggest hit — 'Feels So Good' — is a staple on most smooth-jazz radio stations and has been called one of the most recognized melodies since 'Michelle' by the Beatles. It hit No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top of the Billboard adult contemporary chart. 'It identified for a lot of people a song with an artist, even though I had a pretty strong base audience that kept us out there touring as often as we wanted to, that song just topped out there and took it to a whole other level,' Mangione told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2008. He followed that hit with 'Give It All You Got,' commissioned for the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, and he performed it at the closing ceremony. Mangione, a flugelhorn and trumpet player and jazz composer, released more than 30 albums during a career in which he built a sizable following after recording several albums, doing all the writing. He won his first Grammy Award in 1977 for his album 'Bellavia,' which was named in honor of his mother. Another album, 'Friends and Love,' was also Grammy-nominated, and he earned a best original score Golden Globe nomination and a second Grammy for the movie 'The Children of Sanchez.' Mangione introduced himself to a new audience when he appeared on the first several seasons of 'King of the Hill,' appearing as a commercial spokesman for Mega Lo Mart, where 'shopping feels so good.' Mangione, brother of jazz pianist Gap Mangione, with whom he partnered in The Jazz Brothers, started his career as a bebop jazz musician heavily inspired by Dizzy Gillespie. 'He also was one of the first musicians I saw who had a rapport with the audience by just telling the audience what he was going to play and who was in his band,' Mangione told the Post-Gazette. Mangione earned a bachelor's degree from the Eastman School of Music — where he would eventually return as director of the school's jazz ensemble — and left home to play with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. He donated his signature brown felt hat and the score of his Grammy-winning single 'Feels So Good,' as well as albums, songbooks and other ephemera from his long and illustrious career to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in 2009.
