Sinéad O'Connor Posthumously Charts A New Top 40 Collaboration
Years after their deaths, Sinéad O'Connor and Shane MacGowan are back on the charts in the United Kingdom with a song that first arrived three decades ago. Their duet 'Haunted' makes a very special return, appearing on multiple tallies as it both debuts and returns, depending on the list. The two late superstars still claim large fan bases in the country, where they found great fame during their heydays, and it's these listeners who headed out to brick and mortar record stores to pick up the special edition of their joint tune.
'Haunted' makes a home on three different U.K. rankings. The song, a collaboration between The Pogues frontman MacGowan and the unmistakable O'Connor, reenters the Official Physical Singles chart at No. 18. That's a new high for the track on that particular list, which tracks purchases on formats like CDs, cassettes, and vinyl.
Back in April 1995, 'Haunted' debuted on the same tally at No. 30. It fell to No. 55 the following week before dropping off entirely. Now, 30 years later – almost exactly – the cut doesn't just reappear, it surges to a new all-time best placement, entering the top 20 for the first time.
Alongside its success on the physical sales list, 'Haunted' also debuts on two other rankings in the U.K. The reissued cut launches at No. 17 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, its best position among the three tallies where it can be found. It also narrowly lands inside the top 40 on the Official Singles Sales roster, which counts all purchases across every physical and digital format. On that list, it starts at No. 39.
Originally released in 1995, 'Haunted' wasn't a brand new song even then. MacGowan first recorded the track with his band The Pogues years earlier, but it was reimagined as a duet when he brought O'Connor in to create a new version. That take proved to be a hit, reaching No. 30 on the Official Singles chart.
When 'Haunted' was new, it was issued as a four-track collection on CD and cassette. The product featured several covers and B-sides from MacGowan, and the four cuts made it more enticing to buyers back in the '90s. That original tracklist was pressed on vinyl for the first time on a 12-inch wax record. The Record Store Day exclusive was obviously something that fans of both late musicians were interested in, as the decades-old cut is a quick bestseller.

Bethenny Frankel shares 4 tips she swears by to stay fit and youthful at 54
This summer, Bethenny Frankel's abs went viral. At 54, the 'Real Housewife' turned-business mogul walked the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show, and her toned midriff galvanized the internet. Frankel told Business Insider she has been inundated with questions about her secrets for aging gracefully with a busy, travel-intensive schedule. "They want to know how I live, how I eat, how I pack, what I do," she said. Frankel said she doesn't follow a strict routine. She tries to walk regularly, manage stress proactively, and doesn't overthink her diet. Still, she understands the fear of getting older, and the desire to feel confident and healthy in your 50s. "I think people were moved by the Sports Illustrated Walk because they were saying, 'oh wait, I am not done. I have so much time. I could have a glow up in five years, in 10 years, in 20 years,'" Frankel said. If you are looking to give your lifestyle a tune-up, here are her top tips. Keep your fitness routine simple Frankel become a major player in business, turning her Skinnygirl brand into a multimillion dollar company and investing in various other companies — a golden touch known as the "Bethenny Effect." Still, she said she's not the type to follow a set schedule. "There is no typical day. A morning routine? I'm not that kind of person." One thing she will always fit in, though, is a walk. "I just try to get in steps, but certainly not every day." Walking is a great for longevity, since it keeps your heart strong and promotes good balance and stability, according to cardiologists and healthy aging doctors. While lifting weights is good for healthy aging too, the best exercise is one you'll do consistently, personal trainers say. If she's learned anything over the years, Frankel said, it's that you don't need to overcomplicate your workout routine to stay healthy as you age, 3 supplements she swears by Frankel said she takes a daily "pile of vitamins" and powders including: NAD+ — a trendy molecule being researched for energy and healthy aging in an IV and pill form. Collagen — a type of protein that supports healthy skin, hair, and joints. Irish sea moss — a nutrient-rich, edible seaweed that provides fiber, magnesium, and vitamins A and C. Carbs are good, actually Frankel has long been famous for her "supermodel snacks," low-calorie bites that combine protein sources like turkey slices with mustard and bagel seasoning. Despite loving cottage cheese — which is protein-packed — Frankel said the high-protein trend is over-rated. "People are fixated and obsessed with so much protein. I think protein is good, just like I think carbs are good, fiber is good," she said. Instead, she tries to get creative in reaching for flavors she's craving, while being mindful of portion sizes. Make time for yourself Frankel said one of the major reasons for her continued success in both health and business is a proactive approach to burnout. She has a packed schedule, and finding balance is what has allowed her to keep up with a steady stream of obligations. Frankel said she still has stressful days, but she's learned to set aside plenty of time after to recover. That means being diligent about really resting, taking a full day to do nothing — not a 15-minute interview, not a quick meeting, not anything work-related, no matter how small, so she can fully unwind. "I don't run the car into the ground," Frankel said, preparing to take a long, relaxing walk in the sunshine after wrapping up her interview with BI. "You need to have a discipline about saying no."

Five Farms Irish Cream and Holladay Bourbon Bring Spirited Flavor to Tales of the Cocktail 2025 in New Orleans
By GlobeNewswire Published on July 25, 2025, 20:30 IST New Orleans, La., July 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a city where every cocktail tells a story, Five Farms Irish Cream and Holladay Bourbon made a memorable mark at Tales of the Cocktail 2025, weaving their distinct heritages into the vibrant fabric of New Orleans' world-famous drinks festival and conference. The weeklong celebration brought together bartenders, brand leaders, and beverage creatives from across the globe, all drawn to the energy of the French Quarter, where the spirit flows as freely as the stories. Against this backdrop, the Missouri-made Holladay Bourbon and Cork, Ireland's farm-to-table Five Farms Irish Cream stood out for their authenticity, craftsmanship, and sense of place. On Thursday, July 24th, Five Farms took to the Irish House at Mambo's on Bourbon Street for an immersive three-floor showcase hosted by Bord Bia-The Irish Food Board. The event highlighted the evolution of Irish spirits through bold cocktails and international collaboration. Guests flocked to the rooftop bar where Five Farms, in partnership with Nickel City (recently named one of North America's top bars) and Slane Irish Whiskey, shook up Frozen Irish Coffees made with Five Farms' whiskey-forward cream liqueur. The indulgent yet refreshing serve quickly became the signature sip of the afternoon – a smooth collision of tradition and innovation, topped with a view of the Quarter's iconic balconies and music-soaked streets. 'There's a richness to Five Farms, not just in flavor, but in the story behind it,' said Matt Jacquinot, National Brand Specialist. 'Bringing that to life at Tales, especially in partnership with world-class bartenders and other Irish spirits, was a proud moment for us.' Earlier in the week, Holladay Bourbon took the spotlight with multiple activations, including an elevated Happy Hour at The Vue, where bartenders poured creative riffs on Southern classics using both Ben Holladay Bourbon and fan-favorite Soft Red Wheat Bourbon. Among the favorites was the Holladay Bourbon Smash, a vibrant, citrusy cocktail that offered a refreshing twist on traditional bourbon serves. Served on a rooftop at golden hour, it was a moment of Midwest-meets-NOLA magic. — Holladay Bourbon Smash 2.0 oz Holladay Soft Red Wheat Bourbon 0.75 oz Honey-Cinnamon Syrup 0.75 oz Lemon Juice Shake over ice and strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.
