Ateez Reaches A New Career Peak As It's Latest EP Misses The Main Albums Chart
Ateez has been charting hit albums in the United Kingdom for a little more than a decade by this point. This week, the South Korean boy band returns with its brand new EP, Golden Hour: Part 3, and while the short project becomes a top 10 win on one tally, it misses several other rankings the group is used to reaching. Regardless, this frame is a celebratory one for the K-pop favorites.
Golden Hour: Part 3 Launches Inside the Top 10
Golden Hour: Part 3 launches on this week's Official Album Downloads chart, ranking as one of the bestselling titles in the U.K. on platforms like iTunes and Amazon. The EP opens at Nos. 5 on the list this frame.
Ateez's New Career High
Ateez reaches a new career peak on the Official Album Downloads chart as Golden Hour: Part 3 arrives. The boy band has now reached the tally with eight projects, three of which have cracked the top 10. Until now, Golden Hour: Part 1 stood as the act's loftiest placement, as it debuted and peaked at No. 8 last summer.
The World EP.2: Outlaw gave the group its first placement inside the highest tier in June 2023, when that set spent a single turn at No. 9.
Ateez's New EP Misses the Albums Chart
Somewhat surprisingly, while Golden Hour: Part 3 brings Ateez to a new high point on the Official Album Downloads chart, it fails to reach the Official Albums ranking, the main list of the most consumed projects in the U.K.
The K-pop stars have already cracked the top 10 on the most important album tally four times. Every project that the group has landed anywhere on the list has spent at least one stay in that region. In 2024, both Golden Hour: Part 1 and Golden Hour: Part 2 peaked at No. 4. Somehow, the third installment in that series misses the tally, as well as several charts focused specifically on pure purchases.
'Lemon Drop' is a Quick Win for the Band
The lead single from Golden Hour: Part 3, a tune titled "Lemon Drop," does manage to become a quick bestseller in the U.K. The song was released at the same time as the EP, and this frame, it opens at No. 58 on the Official Singles Downloads list and No. 66 on the Official Singles Sales chart, giving Ateez its sixth win on both rosters.

'F1' star Brad Pitt's image is bulletproof despite scandal, thanks to strategic image control: expert
Brad Pitt has been a staple of the silver screen since he stole the show (and Louise's life savings) in 1991's "Thelma & Louise" and has stayed a reliable box office draw over the last 30 years. The 61-year-old movie star now leads "F1: The Movie," which has overtaken "Napoleon" as Apple's highest-grossing film to date, generating $293 million at the box office after 10 days of release as of Sunday, according to Variety. Ridley Scott's "Napoleon" made $221 million. "Over the last 35 years, Brad Pitt has appeared in more than 60 films and roughly 20 television series, but it's not the quantity or volume of his creative projects that have made him a Hollywood icon—it's the quality," Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR, tells Fox News Digital of Pitt's staying power. Eldridge adds: "Pitt's early career was largely defined by 'hunky heartthrob' roles, where his piercing eyes and rippling abs hypnotized half of the viewing audience. But the mid-to-late '90s proved to be a pivotal time for Pitt, as he headlined an all-star cast in two cult favorites: 'Seven' and 'Fight Club.' From that point forward, he commanded the attention and adoration of both male and female fans alike." Eldridge compared Pitt to Robert Redford, saying he has managed to age with "grace and elegance, due in large part to genetics, sobriety, and most of all, staying true to the roles with which he identified." In the 2000s, Pitt turned to blockbuster action films like "Troy," "World War Z" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" as well as the "Ocean's 11" trilogy. He also made two Quentin Tarantino films: "Inglourious Basterds" in 2009 and won the Academy Award in 2020 for best supporting actor for his role as Leonardo DiCaprio's stuntman Cliff Booth in "Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood." "Brad Pitt has remained a highly successful actor with a strong box office presence, despite the controversies he has faced, by building a reputation that has left him with a net-positive sentiment among most of the public." Pitt also won an Oscar in 2014 for his producing role in "12 Years a Slave," which won best picture. PR expert Matt Wolf tells Fox News Digital that Pitt has a talent for finding smart projects. "Brad is still a household name whose charm hasn't faded," Wolf says. "His penchant for identifying good material and delivering authentic performances is why he continues to have success at the box office." Jared Meade, MPS, APR, founder and principal, Rayne Strategy Group, says that Pitt "plays the long game when it comes to his reputation." Meade says that despite his controversies, like his high-profile split from wife Jennifer Aniston and his drawn-out divorce with Angelina Jolie, Pitt has created a "net-positive sentiment among most of the public." "Brad Pitt has remained a highly successful actor with a strong box office presence, despite the controversies he has faced, by building a reputation that has left him with a net-positive sentiment among most of the public," Meade stated. He says Pitt built out his reputation "by cultivating a layered public persona, starting as the romantic lead, then transitioning to more serious roles, becoming a producer, a style icon and a philanthropist." He adds that "The Lost City" actor doesn't "rush in with overcorrection or attention-seeking antics during difficult times. He lets time, his high-quality work and restraint rehabilitate his image." Meade says Pitt has also been open about the struggles he's faced, "such as with alcohol, that he is perceived as owning his personal failings without sensationalizing them. This causes audiences to be more forgiving than if he were defensive. While some of the accusations against him have been serious, and we don't want to minimize those, his public persona has never come across as predatory, manipulative, or intentionally harmful. So far, the public seems to have been forgiving to him. They still like him, despite his flaws." Last month, Pitt opened up on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast about his sobriety journey, saying he "needed rebooting" amid his split from then-wife Angelina Jolie following an alleged 2016 incident when an inebriated Pitt had an altercation with Jolie and their six children. Jolie claimed in legal documents that Pitt "choked one of the children and struck another in the face" and "grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her." He then poured "beer and red wine" on her and their six children. Jolie quickly filed for divorce after the alleged incident. While Pitt has denied the physical abuse claims, he admitted he needed to get sober. "I was pretty much on my back, you know, or on my knees," Pitt told Shepard. "I was trying anything and everyone. Anything anyone threw at me. It was a particularly difficult time. I needed rebooting. I needed to wake the f--- up in some areas. And it just meant a lot to me." He added, "I am a stubborn f---, but I am also, when I've stepped in s---, I'm pretty good at taking responsibility for it and owning up to it. And now it's a quest to, you know, 'What do I do with this? How can I right this and make sure it doesn't happen again?'" Meade says that the actor has "mastered the ability to know when to be visible and when not to," explaining that he knows that "silence can be just as, if not more beneficial, than exposure when it comes to maintaining a good reputation." Pitt has "curated his visibility" in a way that has kept him "mysterious, respected and still media-relevant without becoming overly familiar," Meade says. "This is part of the reason the public hasn't immediately jumped in during controversial moments to villainize him," he tells Fox News Digital. "The public's opinion is shaped mainly by the memories of him from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Couple that with Pitt's selectively chosen event appearances, interviews and profiles and it's easier to see why his reputation and box office draw remain." Wolf also believes that Pitt stands out from other actors because of his "range." "He also has his own production company and is a respected producer, so he has a knack for finding good material and aligning with top-notch directors," he adds. Pitt's films have grossed nearly $5 billion at the global box office, according to Eldridge, "and his Hollywood star has yet to tarnish—literally, or figuratively. To that end, it's no surprise that 'F1' has become a runaway hit for Apple. When you take a closer look at the numbers 'on the other side of the baseball card' it starts to make more sense." Formula 1 is "widely considered to be the fastest-growing sport in the world," he says, adding that its audience has expanded by 5% since 2021, with an estimated 750 million viewers annually, including in the United States. "That said, when you combine an iconic, multi-billion-dollar box office behemoth with a wildly popular global motor sport, the result is explosive. No pun intended. Pitt and crew should take a well-deserved victory lap, following the film's success!"

There's something for everyone at local gallery's summer show
BRONZE swallows, a ceramic chicken and glorious Yorkshire landscapes are among artworks on show at a popular gallery. The Bingley Gallery's annual Summer Exhibition aims to test the public's appetite for artists who have not showed there before, alongside new work from returning and permanent artists. The exhibition will bring something to suit everyone's taste: the walls are decked with a considerable variety of genres, styles and media. As always, the gallery maintains its commitment to promoting local and Yorkshire-based artists. Football Crazy by Andrew Storrie Ian Tothill with his artwork Variants on Five Rise Lock by Heather Swain It is always interesting to learn from the artists the inspiration behind their artworks. For Matthew Duckett, his landscapes can result from local views or even movies - many of the titles are quotes from the 1958 British war film Ice Cold in Alex. Thornton-based Ian Tothill's mixed media/collages result from chance finds or encounters. One, Tumbling Hills, is derived from a chance encounter with an oud-playing car wash owner, who he met while searching for a rare, above ground glimpse of Bradford Beck. Richard Smith's works relate to historic weaving in our region. Some of these are the original artwork, often annotated. After his family's three generations in Bradford's textile design and weaving business, Richard turned to archiving the surviving artefacts of the design process. In a further step he has prepared a range of these artefacts into framed wall art. These include the point papers used as an intermediate step in translating the design to the punched cards used by Jacquard looms to create the woven pattern. Technical perhaps, but beautiful and redolent of the styles of earlier years. Nostalgia and humour run through the characterful watercolours of Andrew Storrie. These reflect northern life, often with a twist of humour and a subtle nod to the Bantams, with claret and amber scarves in evidence. As it states on Andrew's website 'it's not perhaps surprising to learn he has a reverence for the fast disappearing red pillar boxes and telephone booths that can often be seen in his work.' Bev Morton is a Thornton-based mixed-media artist currently painting and creating monotypes in acrylic and collage. Her mixed media artwork beautifully focuses on the forms and colours found in the natural world. Richard Smith's 18 Shades of Flower Malham Cove by Rob Thomson Stella Verity is among the exhibitors Stella Verity and Rob Thomson bring more conventional watercolours, but, for this show, they too are experimenting; Rob with the inclusion of mixed media and Stella with neurographic artwork. This artistic approach uses free-flowing organic lines and is considered as being therapeutic and meditative. An active member of the international group Urban Sketchers, Rob is a former architect who has always enjoyed drawing in his spare time and, now, professionally. Retired teacher Stella turned to watercolour after attending lessons at Shipley College. She has since developed the technique and allowed her enthusiasm for both gardening and cooking to influence her subject matter. There are dreamy land and seascapes from Rachel Hines and big bold abstracted landscapes from Leyla Murr, who works from studios in Bingley and Shipley. In a break with tradition there are charming local scenes, particularly of the canal by the late Alan John Green who lived in Shipley. Alan moved to Bradford after the war and attended Bradford School of Art. He exhibited pictures in the Bradford Biennale at the Cartwright Hall in Lister Park. Swallows in bronze by Victoria Chichinadze Jane Hurford's ceramic hen The Bingley Gallery in Park Road The 3D offering in the exhibition is notable too. Award-winning Ilkley- based Ukrainian sculptor Victoria Chichinadze has four elegant cast bronzes featuring birds, while Mick Kirkby-Geddes' welded steel animals are much more down-to-earth in welded steel. Mick works alone in his workshop at Holmbridge near Holmfirth, sorting through the discarded junk metal of everyday life. Keen to see nothing go to waste, he spends his days cutting metal, before welding it back together with new steel to create his sculptures. For the show, local pottery guru Jane Hurford has restocked, making this the place to visit for a ceramic hen. Jane is a tutor at Hive community arts charity in Shipley and can turn her hand to a range of styles of work, often with an element of fun. Many of her works are designed to be weatherproof for outdoor display There is something to suit a wide range of tastes at the exhibition, and everyone is welcome to come along and have a look. The show runs until September 8 2025 The Bingley Gallery is in Park Road; opening hours are Thursday to Sunday 10am to 5pm.

VIDEO: Pep Guardiola belts out Oasis hit 'Don't Look Back in Anger' as Man City boss attends Heaton Park reunion concert with daughter Maria
Pep pictured with Gallagher family before show Manchester rockers play massive Heaton Park gig City boss belts out smash hit with daughter WHAT HAPPENED? The returning rockers played their first of five Heaton Park shows on Friday night. Guardiola attended the gig with his daughter, taking time to pose alongside the Gallaghers' children for a photo posted to Instagram. The City manager was clearly enjoying himself, belting out the anthem which has become a regular feature of the club's celebrations over recent years. After City's 2021 title victory, a video of Guardiola singing 'Don't Look Back in Anger' while smoking a cigar went viral. Advertisement WATCH THE CLIP THE BIGGER PICTURE Guardiola must have been feeling the love of his adopted hometown last night. Liam showed his appreciation for the Catalan's efforts over the past decade, dedicating a song to the "greatest f*cking manager of all time". Roughly 80,000 people attended the homecoming show, which ended with a massive firework display. WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER CITY? WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER CITY? City may well be tempted to look back on their previous campaign with a dose of anger. The Citizens failed to win a major trophy for the first time in eight years. Pep's preparations for the coming term will start in earnest over the next few weeks, with the Sky Blues kicking off their Premier League season against Wolves on August 16 at Molinuex.
