Elton John scores his twenty-second top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with Who Believes in Angels?, ... More tying Bruce Springsteen's record.

Elton John scores another big album in the United States this week, and he has someone to celebrate his latest win with. The musical legend appears inside the top 10 on the Billboard 200 again with Who Believes In Angels?, his collaborative new full-length with Brandi Carlile. This latest set isn't just any other, average success, though. As the project debuts, it helps him tie with one of rock's most celebrated names and pull ahead of a few others he's been matched with for years.
Who Believes in Angels? opens at No. 9 on this week's Billboard 200, the ranking that shows which albums the American public is consuming. It opens with 40,000 equivalent units shifted in its first frame, and, according to Luminate, nearly all of those units — 36,500 to be exact — are pure sales. That's just enough to place it inside the top 10, which is important to the piano player.
Thanks to Who Believes in Angels?, John now claims 22 top 10 albums on the Billboard 200. As he adds one more to his growing track record of huge successes, he matches with Bruce Springsteen for the eighth-most appearances inside the uppermost region on the chart in U.S. history.
Before this new project arrived, John was steady with 21 top 10s on the Billboard 200, which at which point he was matched with both George Strait and Paul McCartney — whose solo output is also combined with Wings, according to Billboard. This ranking could change again, though, as both of those stars are still working and releasing new music, and they still claim sizable fanbases.
Even with his new bestseller, John still has a long way to go before he matches the all-time record holders. The Rolling Stones continue to lead the pack, with 38 top 10 albums. That number grew only recently, with the band's Hackney Diamonds dropping a little more than a year ago. Barbra Streisand claims the second-most top 10s of all time with 34, while Frank Sinatra and The Beatles follow with 33 and 32, respectively.

Robert Downey Jr. Supports ‘Ironheart' Star Dominique Thorne Amid Review-Bombing Campaign: ‘We're in This Love Together'
On the day of 'Ironheart's' premiere, Robert Downey Jr. met with star Dominique Thorne over FaceTime to express his support for the actress and series amid a review bombing campaign ahead of the show's release. The show, which premieres Tuesday night on Disney+, has received middling to poor reviews from critics. But it was also hit with hundreds of often identical negative reviews by users who have not seen the show on Rotten Tomatoes, a form of harassment historically deployed against works focused on women, people of color or LGBTQ characters. 'I've grown so fond of you, it's bananas,' Downey said in the video. 'Congratulations. I'll be watching it with the world.' You can watch the video, released on Instagram, below. Downey captioned the post 'Riri and Tony don't follow trends #goodmorningIronheart'. The video, featuring the two actors, went live only hours before the three-episode premiere of 'Ironheart' releases at 6 p.m. PT. At the beginning of the video, Downey points out, 'It's June 24, which is…' Thorne touchingly responds, 'It's dad's birthday' — a reference to Downey's father, Robert Downey Sr. 'God, you've been doing too much press,' Downey jokes. The two then celebrate 'Ironheart's' release. The post shows a touching act of solidarity from Downey, who gave arguably the most notable and popular performance from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in his 11-year run as Tony Stark. The actor will return to the franchise next year when he portrays Doctor Doom in 'Avengers: Doomsday' (or possibly this summer if he cameos in 'Fantastic Four: First Steps'). With the unwarranted heat 'Ironheart' has already received, it's a welcome sentiment from the Marvel star. 'Ironheart' marks only Thorne's second appearance as Riri Williams, a.k.a. Ironheart (well, third if we're counting the Disney cruise). The character first appeared in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' when Namor hunted her for creating a Vibranium detector that led an expedition to his underwater domain. By the end of the film, Williams appears in her first functioning Iron Man suit. Prior to tonight's release of the first half of 'Ironheart,' the series has a 32% audience score despite the fact audiences haven't yet seen the show. Thorne and 'Ironheart' have consistently faced online attacks, as has become common in recent MCU films and series starring women, people of color and members of the LGBTQ community. 'Ironheart' received a truncated marketing campaign, with the first trailer releasing less than a month and a half before the series began streaming. In Marvel comics, the superhero debuted in 'Invincible Iron Man (2016) #7' and soon took over as Iron Man following Tony Stark's apparent death in 'Civil War II.' This was a period of time when many Marvel heroes were being replaced or working alongside younger legacy characters ascending to the mantle. Riri Williams faced harsher criticism than most. Williams views Stark as a mentor, speaking to an A.I. version of his consciousness following the events of 'Civil War II.' This adds a touching parallel to Downey's message, as the two characters have no formal relationship in the MCU. With the amount of unwarranted hate Thorne has received, Downey's video is a nice reminder that one of the world's biggest movie stars remains in her corner. '17 years from the birth of the MCU to the premiere of 'Ironheart,'' Downey says in the video. 'And we're in this love together.' The post Robert Downey Jr. Supports 'Ironheart' Star Dominique Thorne Amid Review-Bombing Campaign: 'We're in This Love Together' | Video appeared first on TheWrap.

Impressed by the fit, quality, and price!" —JennyPrice: $19.99 (available in sizes 0-18, plus sizes, and six colors) A knitted polo that will instantly make you feel like that person who looks chic in every situation — from attending cool events to stuff that's more low-key, like heading to the coffee shop in the morning.

You can wear this over a bralette and glitzy shorts when going out with your friends, or wear it with a blazer and trousers during your next big meeting. Promising review: "I love the color. I followed the recommended size, and when I got the product, it was too large, but I can still wear the shirt over another blouse. It looks so rich-y and lovely. You can dress it up or dress it down. It looks good either way and feels good on the body and to the touch. The quality is good for the price." —CarolinePrice: $6.99+ (originally $12.34; available in sizes S–XXL and in 15 colors) A slouchy tote, because you deserve a cute work bag!
