Fleetwood Mac Charts A No. 1 Single In America — In The Year 2025
Both 'Dreams' and Rumours hit No. 1 on their respective charts, and in the decades since, they've remained hugely successful commercially. This week is especially notable for 'Dreams,' as the nearly half-century-old cut rises across every major ranking.
Fleetwood Mac Returns to No. 1
Fleetwood Mac is once again in control of the Rock Streaming Songs chart, Billboard's ranking of the most successful individual rock tracks on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and iHeartRadio in the U.S. 'Dreams' steps up from No. 2 to No. 1, replacing 'Back to Friends' by newcomer Sombr.
A Resurgence That Started in 2020
'Dreams' first conquered the Rock Streaming Songs chart almost half a decade ago. The track debuted on the list in February 2020 and climbed to the summit in October of that year. Including that period, 'Dreams' has now led the tally for nine nonconsecutive stretches.
Over the past five-plus years, 'Dreams' has spent 287 weeks somewhere on the Rock Streaming Songs ranking. That easily makes it the band's longest-running win. In fact, its tenure outpaces both 'The Chain' and 'Landslide,' which have collectively managed just 91 frames on the same list.
A Strong Performance Across Multiple Rankings
Fleetwood Mac sees 'Dreams' climb on all four Billboard tallies where it currently appears in the U.S. It's even performing well enough to rise on the all-genre Streaming Songs chart, where it jumps from No. 38 to No. 29. The smash becomes a top 40 hit again on the Billboard Global 200 again, narrowly jumping into that region as it lands at No. 40. At the same time, it pushes to No. 106 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
Fleetwood Mac is lucky to have one track that's still popular enough after decades to appear on the Rock Streaming Songs ranking, which is a relatively uncommon feat for any legacy act – but that's not the end of the story. The group also claims a second spot on the same list, as 'The Chain' dips from No. 16 to No. 23.

Kevin Eastman Compares TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: THE LAST RONIN Movie to Frank Miller's DARK KNIGHT — GeekTyrant
Kevin Eastman, the co-creator of the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , recently gave fans an exciting update on the anticipated live-action adaptation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin . Drawing comparisons to Frank Miller's iconic Batman: The Dark Knight Returns , Eastman revealed interesting insight into what fans can expect from the upcoming gritty R-Rated film. During San Diego Comic-Con, Eastman spoke with ComicBook, confirming his involvement as a consultant for the film adaptation of The Last Ronin, the acclaimed five-issue miniseries he co-wrote with comic writer Tom Waltz. The story explores a dark, dystopian future where a lone surviving Turtle embarks on a relentless mission to avenge his fallen brothers by confronting Oroku Hiroto, the grandson of their legendary foe, Shredder. Eastman expressed his appreciation for Paramount and Nickelodeon's dedication, saying: 'They do not have to bring me in to be involved in any parts of anything, but they bring me in for the comics, the cartoon shows, [and to] consult on the movies, especially The Last Ronin. I just adore that, and they're wonderful.' While Eastman has communicated with screenwriter Tyler Burton Smith ( Boy Kills World ), he was cautious about confirming if the movie would officially receive the initially reported R-rating. He shared: 'I'm really excited what they're doing and what they're going to do with it. They're all saying it's going to be R-rated, but until you know officially, we'll wait for word from them.' When asked if the movie might tie into previous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film adaptations, Eastman described how The Last Ronin creatively mirrors the standalone nature of Miller's Dark Knight : 'What I've been told in the discussions, as limited as they are, is that what they loved about Last Ronin — because Last Ronin, to me, was a love poem to Frank Miller's Dark Knight. 'All things Batman exist in Dark Knight, but it was set in a universe just to the left [of canon]. So they didn't have to play by all the lineage rules … they were able to tell a story all within itself. And with The Last Ronin, we took that same approach, but it leans heavily on the Mirage Universe.' For Eastman, the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 from 1984 signifies "the beginning," and The Last Ronin represents "the end," making it an ideal self-contained narrative. "It's my understanding that's the approach they're going to take, and good for them, and wise. I think it's the right way to go." Expanding upon this gritty vision, Eastman and Waltz have dubbed the expanding storyline the 'Ronin-verse,' featuring spin-offs like The Last Ronin: The Lost Years , The Last Ronin—Lost Day Special , and the upcoming sequel The Last Ronin II: Re-Evolution. Walter Hamada, former DC Films president and executive producer of projects such as The Batman and The Suicide Squad , is on board as producer. His involvement further suggests the project's commitment to a mature, intense cinematic experience, marking a thrilling return to live-action Turtles for the first time since 2016's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows . Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting new chapter in the TMNT saga!

‘Shelby Oaks' Drops a Freaky First Trailer
When Mike Flanagan signs onto a debut horror film as an executive producer, that's going to make genre fans sit up and take notice. Shelby Oaks hits theaters in October, and not only does writer-director Chris Stuckmann have Flanagan's stamp of approval, but he also now has an excellently chilling first trailer to further entice spooky-cinema junkies. Using what looks to be a blend of narrative and found footage, not to mention true crime and ghostly terrors, Shelby Oaks follows Mia (Camille Sullivan) on her increasingly disturbing search for her missing sister—who we see poking around an abandoned, supposedly haunted town as part of a paranormal investigation. It's a mystery that Mia's determined to solve, even as all signs seem to indicate she should stay as far away from Shelby Oaks as possible. Distributor Neon is doing a little bit of Longlegs-style finessing with its marketing, releasing a series of teaser posters that are both alarmingly enigmatic and undeniably full of dread: The rest of the cast includes Brendan Sexton III, Michael Beach, and the legendary Keith David. Shelby Oaks, which marks the debut of film critic turned filmmaker Stuckmann, had its premiere at last year's Fantasia International Film Festival. It hits theaters October 3. Want more io9 news?

The Real Controversy of ‘Superman' Is a CGI Dog
Kelly Woods can't stand Superman's canine sidekick, Krypto. The 58-year-old retired truck driver grew up watching the Superman cartoons in the 1970s. 'When Krypto first came into the cartoons, it ruined it for me,' said Woods. He felt the creators were trying too hard to add unnecessary characters.
