AC/DC Bookends A Billboard Chart With Multiple Bestsellers In America
AC/DC is always a major player on Billboard's hard rock charts. The band rarely scores new wins, either with albums or songs, so it is with the classics that the Australian rock outfit maintains a constant presence. Sometimes that comes in the form of just one tune, while in other instances, multiple tracks and even an album or two can find space on the weekly rankings. This time around, AC/DC scores a pair of hit songs, and the group even manages a relatively uncommon feat.
AC/DC Sits at Nos. 1 and 10
The band bookends the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart this frame. AC/DC sits in first place, at No. 1, and also in the lowest rung at No. 10, as the tally only features 10 spaces these days.
"Thunderstruck" rises from No. 3 back to the throne. The smash earns its sixty-first stay at No. 1 as it surges. At the same time, "Back in Black" returns to the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. This week, it comes in at No. 10, reentering the list in the lowest spot possible.
"Thunderstruck" and "Back in Black" Keep Selling
"Thunderstruck" and "Back in Black" have both already taken a turn at No. 1. While "Thunderstruck" is far and away the group's longest-running leader and the current champion, "Back in Black" has spent just two of its 547 stays on the tally in the spotlight.
Another pair of tunes, "Shot in the Dark" and "Play Ball," have also reached the peak position, though neither manages to appear nearly as frequently as "Thunderstruck" or "Back in Black."
AC/DC and Disturbed Stand Alone
AC/DC is one of only two musical acts that fill more than one spot on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart this week. Disturbed also manages to do so, as its cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" comes in right behind "Thunderstruck," while "Don't Tell Me," a collaboration with Heart frontwoman Ann Wilson, reenters at No. 5.

Doja Cat Reveals Forthcoming Album 'Vie' Will Be a 'Pop-Driven Project' After She Tweeted 'No More Pop'
In 2023, Doja Cat announced that she was saying goodbye to pop music because it wasn't "exciting" to her But in a recent conversation with V Magazine, she shared that her upcoming album, Vie, will be "a pop-driven project" 'I know that I can make pop music, and pop is just that it's popular," she told the outletDoja Cat is returning to her roots. In an interview with V Magazine published on Tuesday, July 1, the pop star revealed what fans can expect from her forthcoming album, Vie. The Grammy-winning singer, 29, shared that she's focusing this new album on pop music, despite saying "no more pop" in 2023. At the time, she added, "pop isn't exciting to me anymore. I dont wanna make it,' per V Magazine. She also noted that her pop music, specifically albums Planet Her and Hot Pink, "were cash-grabs.' 'I do want to be self-aware enough to admit the fact that this is a pop-driven project,' she told the outlet of Vie. 'I know that I can make pop music, and pop is just that it's popular.' 'It starts to become a bit of a thing that's viewed as a sport by people who are just bystanders to it, who enjoy it, but maybe also don't respect it or what it is, which is just music,' she continued. 'There are some people who don't see it as music,' the singer noted. 'They see it as if this is some kind of football for girls and gays.' The 'Kiss Me More' singer also shared that Vie's concept 'is very pointed towards love, romance, and sex—and discourse in relationships," adding, 'Really just relationships in general, and relationships with yourself, even.' While music generally has songs about breakups and 'how we're just kind of sick of men,' she only has one song on Vie with those sentiments, she said. Instead, the new album is about her hopefulness. '[Vie] is very much about love in a way that reflects how I want it to be in the future—my hope, my hopefulness. What I hope it could be.' While she acknowledged that this is a "pop-driven" album, she will also rap for a good portion of the album. 'I have a lot more knowledge of how to use my voice as an instrument, more than I ever have in my life,' she said. The "Say So" singer also explained that while she wants the album to be popular, she's focused on other technicalities, like the general sound. 'I want to focus more on: how does the mix sound? Do I even need these instruments here? Do I need to recut this verse?" she told V Magazine. "It's how things sound that makes the music worth listening to. I would not be an artist if I didn't care, right?' "If for any reason a project of mine does a little less good than the last one, I don't want to be up in arms and upset about it," she added. "I want to embrace that.'

Eminem Wanted Mariah Carey To Play A Specific Role In ‘8 Mile' Which Sparked Their Rumored Romance
Long before Eminem and Mariah Carey dissed one another, they were rumored to have dated. Her producer, Damizza, recently revealed that their romance was sparked by Eminem's request that she play a specific role in his legendary movie 8 Mile. He recounted his initial reaction to Slim Shady's request for a meeting on the TFU Podcast: 'I'm not getting in the middle of that. I know how this ends.' He also claimed that Carey had declined a meeting with the Detroit rapper before learning about the film. Nonetheless, she eventually agreed to meet him, so Damizza facilitated the arrangement. 'The first thing out of [Eminem's] mouth is, 'I want you to play my mother,'' he recalled of the meeting. The 'We Belong Together' singer seemingly didn't take it well, as Damizza said, 'Her insecurities kicked in big time.' However, he wasn't prepared for where things would go between the two. Damizza told the TFU Podcast that the professional meeting was the catalyst for their long-rumored romantic relationship, with Mariah Carey being the one doing the courting. 'It was her chasing him, not him chasing her,' he said. 'Next thing I know, we are at Eminem's house… and they disappear. The second they went into his room, literally, I was like, 'I'm going back to LA. There is no point of me being here.' It went from business to f**king.' This is an interesting revelation, as Carey ended up not appearing in 8 Mile and has also denied the two ever being romantically involved. Eminem, however, wouldn't let her deceive the people. His 2009 track 'The Warning' was a response to her song 'Obsessed,' which many believe was targeted at him. 'Wow Mariah, didn't expect you to go balls out/ Bi**h shut the f**k up 'fore I put all them phone calls out/ You made to my house when you was Wild'n Out before Nick/ When you was on my d**k and give you something to smile about,' he rapped. In another part of the song, he added 'Listen, girly, surely you don't want me to talk about how I nutted early/ 'Cause I ejaculated prematurely/ And bust all over your belly and you almost started hurling/ And said I was gross, go get a towel, your stomach's curling.'
