Stray Kids Members Dominate One Billboard Chart — While The Band Doesn't

Stray Kids is one of the most successful K-pop groups in the world, and while it often takes the full band to top charts, this week proves that the members can pull off something incredible on their own. The singers that make up the group are having a standout frame on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart, where they're not just placing well, they're almost completely taking over. Oddly, the band itself barely factors in.
Stray Kids and its singers claim five spaces on the World Digital Song Sales chart. The tally only ranks the 10 bestselling 'world' tunes in the U.S., which means the K-pop act owns half the list. These tunes dominate the highest reaches of the roster, as tracks from the band's new project Mixtape: Dominate occupy the three highest spaces, and that turned out to be just the beginning for the K-pop favorites.
Leading the charge is 'Escape,' which debuts at No. 1. The cut is credited to Bang Chan and Hyunjin, two members of Stray Kids. This frame, they own the bestselling world tune in the U.S., and plenty of their bandmates are right behind them.
Lee Know and Seungmin launch 'Cinema' at No. 2, narrowly missing out on a first place start. Meanwhile, Changbin and I.N settle right behind them with 'Burning Trees,' which starts at No. 3.
While the individual members are running the show this week, Stray Kids does show up once on the World Digital Song Sales chart. The group's track 'Giant' re-enters the ranking at No. 4. It's only managed two weeks on the tally so far, and during its debut frame, it peaked at No. 2.
The only member of Stray Kids not represented on Mixtape: Dominate's wins on this tally still makes his presence felt on the list. Felix appears at No. 9 this frame thanks to 'Reawaker,' his collaborative track with Japanese singer Lisa. The tune once ruled the roster, and even though it's falling this frame — from No. 5 to No. 9 — it's holding on for a twelfth week.
All of Stray Kids' new arrivals on the World Digital Song Sales chart come from Mixtape: Dominate. While the project is too short to qualify for any Billboard album charts, it's clearly still making an impact. The set itself may not be found on any tally, but the group members do find space on the list and score solo wins, which don't add to the boy band's overall discography, at least as far as the Billboard rankings are concerned.

Olivia Rodrigo & Ed Sheeran Perform ‘The A Team' in Surprise London Duet

Olivia Rodrigo welcomed Ed Sheeran to her stage for a surprise duet of 'The A Team' in London on Friday night (June 27). Together the two pop hitmakers, guitars in hand, strummed and sang Sheeran's debut single for the U.K. crowd at Hyde Park's BST (British Summer Time) concert series, where Rodrigo was performing ahead of a headlining slot at Glastonbury later this weekend. Post-show, Sheeran shared footage of the moment on Instagram. The performance video shows the two musicians harmonizing on the chorus of 'The A Team.'

'Both albums are no skips for me, I'm a proper fan. We first met at the rock and roll hall of fame back in 2022, sat next to each other with her mum and my dad and went on to hang and keep in touch from there.' Of his Friday night plans, Sheeran said, 'Was gonna go watch the show anyway but she hit me and asked to sing The A Team with her, which was such a buzz. That song turns 15 this year, and I remember playing it to rooms with no one in it in 2010, so to still be playing it to new fans with one of the brightest stars of the next generation is an honour and a privilege.

Also spotted at Rodrigo's Friday gig was a smiling Sabrina Carpenter who enjoyed the show from the balcony, as seen in photos published by the Daily Mail. 'The A Team,' first released in 2011, was Sheeran's first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 16 in 2012. Following Rodrigo's concert, on Saturday Sheeran posted another treat for fans on TikTok: a short mashup of his 'Perfect' with Rodrigo's 'Happier,' sung together. Sheeran previously praised Rodrigo's 2021 breakthrough hit, 'Drivers License,' as a flawless debut single, and noted both her debut and sophomore full-length albums, Sour and Guts, are 'unskippable… it's just, as a record, just a great record.'

Parents Share The Most Embarrassing Things Their Kids Have Said

Recently, Reddit user FarmhouseRules posted to the popular ask subreddit to ask people, "What's the most embarrassing thing your kids have ever said or done?" She shared her own story first, writing, "Once I was shopping at the grocery with my 5-year-old son in the cart. As we were going down the aisle we passed a woman going the other way. Right after we passed her, my son said, 'Mom that's the ugliest man I've ever seen.' I was mortified." Other people shared some pretty legendarily embarrassing stories, too, and I was honestly cackling. Here are some of the absolute best: "I was at checkout in K-Mart with my then 5-year-old daughter. I was buying her purple marshmallow Peeps. She told the cashier that purple was her favorite color. I said she had a new favorite color every week. This embarrassed my daughter, who said loudly, 'Mom, you have a new favorite boyfriend every week!'" "'MY MOM LOVES COCK PORN.' (He meant popcorn.)" "My wife, my son, and I were at Disneyland. My son was 3 at this point. He had finished potty training just a few weeks prior to this. During potty training, we would use positive reinforcement, elling him that he was doing a good job, etc. etc. One of the things I told him was that he was pooping Iike a man now." "My 2-year-old son and I were in line at Kohl's and the woman behind me had vitiligo (a condition that causes the pigment in your skin to discolor, completely resulting in very blotchy skin). My son looked at her and gasped and said, 'Oh wow, I LOVE your polka dots!'" "We were at the zoo when my son was probably 5 or 6. He had run ahead to look at the zebras. He turned around and screamed, 'Mom, you won't believe how big this zebra's dick is!' I deeply considered walking past him with no acknowledgment." "Took my 3-year-old in to work with me on a Saturday when the office was closed. My coworker was there. I introduced him to my daughter. She recognized his name from me always complaining about him, looked him in the eye, and asked him, 'Are you the one who doesn't know what he is doing?'" "We were on a trail in the Smoky Mountains and a park ranger with an eye patch was talking to us about bears. Right when we finished the conversation and started walking away, my son said, 'Mommy, we just talked to a pirate!'" "Not my kid, but it was said to me. I was riding the elevator up to the OB/GYN floor with a very pregnant woman and her about 3-year-old son. He looked at my belly and excitedly asked if I was going to have a baby, too. His mother was 14 shades of red with nowhere to hide! I told him no, I was just fat. He gave me a sad face and said, 'Well, next year.'" "When my oldest was about a year and a half old in the grocery store, he pointed to a baby and said 'ugly baby' clear as day and very loud." "My son told my daughter that her penis fell off and that's why he was a boy and she was a girl. She was upset for weeks." "When my son was little, we took him to mass with us. When the priest was consecrating the communion wafer, my son loudly and clearly said, 'Hey, I want one of those potato chips!'" "My son, bless his heart, waited until everyone had bowed their heads to pray but before the priest started the prayer, and in that moment of blessed silence, piped up 'I gotta poop!' as loud as he could." "I was waiting in the crowd for my number to be called at the deli counter with my 5-year-old. It was National Dairy Month, and the grocery store had a huge inflatable cow suspended from the ceiling above us. My daughter looked up and announced at the top of her lungs, 'Look, Mom, that cow has four penises!' The crowd roared." "My daughter announced to her whole class that girls get brains and boys get a penis. That was a whole parent/teacher conference." "I was the mortifying kid: in the middle of a Catholic mass, during one of the silent parts, I looked up at a man next to us. I looked back at my mom and loudly said, 'Mom, why does his forehead go back so far?'" "We were at my grandfather's funeral with my then 3-year-old son. We had told him that great-grandpa was really old and that's why he died. We met my grandparents' neighbor, who I knew growing up, and she is about 90. When she walked away, my son said, 'She's really nice. It's too bad she'll be dead soon.'" "When my son was 3, we lived in a pretty rough neighborhood. His favorite thing was just riding his tricycle up and down the sidewalk, completely safe. One day I heard him greeting people in the manner that people greeted him when they walked by. He said, 'Hey, motherfucker!'" "Around Thanksgiving, we walked past a very old woman and the 5-year-old stopped to ask her about conditions on the Mayflower." "This is about me at 5 years old in 1975. My mom used to tell this story. My dad at that time liked to listen to Deanna Durbin records on the living room stereo. Her picture was on the fronts of the albums, and he liked to tell me he was listening to his 'girlfriend' singing." "My kid was 5-ish and had started calling hot dogs weiners. At the grocery store, she said, very loudly, 'Mommy likes wieners!'" "Our oldest was about 3, my wife was pregnant with our second, and we were at dinner with friends who had a toddler in a high chair. Said toddler had food everywhere!" "About 20 years ago when our son was 2, we were having a small dinner party with friends at our home, and he went into our bedroom closet and found one of my wife's (adult) toys. He came running into the living room and started banging it against the coffee table." "My kid, at 4, could burp like a truck driver. Sitting in a restaurant, she let out this massive burp, dove under the table to hide, and 25 strangers turned around to stare at me with mild disgust." And finally, "My lovely 3-year-old likes to yell 'HELP ME!!!' at the top of her lungs when she doesn't get her way, and she tends to not get her way and yell that in grocery stores and other public places." Okay, IDK about you, but I'm laughing my ass off at some of these. Tell me what you think in the comments below; or, even better, divulge your own embarrassing kid stories!

Kate Hudson reveals why she was told to ‘divorce' parents Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson as a teen

Kate Hudson was almost famous under different circumstances. The actress, 46, recently revealed that as a teen, she was told to get emancipated from her parents, Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson, in order to land more work in Hollywood. 'I had gotten this part that they wanted me to basically divorce my parents so that I could work as an adult,' Hudson said while on the 'Awards Chatter' podcast at the Newport Beach TV Fest earlier this month. 10 Kate Hudson attends Newport Beach TV FEST. Getty Images for Newport Beach TV FEST 10 Kate Hudson speaking at the Newport Beach TV FEST. Getty Images for Newport Beach TV FEST 'My mom was like, 'No – never happening,'' she confessed. 'But then I got the 'Party of Five' and it was so great.' The Fox drama debuted in 1994 and followed the lives of the five Salinger siblings after their parents died in a car crash. The series starred Matthew Fox as the eldest sibling and guardian, Charlie Salinger, Scott Wolf as Bailey Salinger, Neve Campbell as Julia Salinger, Lacey Chabert as Claudia Salinger and Jacob Smith as Owen Salinger. 10 Goldie Hawn and daughter Kate Hudson on July 11, 1992.

She played Cory, a co-worker of Michael Goorjian's character Justin Thompson. Thompson was Julia's love interest at the beginning of the show. 'Party of Five' marked Hudson's first role on a television series, and she recalled Goorjian, 54, being 'so sweet' and 'so kind' on set. 10 Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson. Penske Media via Getty Images 'It was like two days of shooting,' she explained, 'and I missed two days of school and my mom actually allowed me to do it.' 'I was 16 and obsessed with 'Party of Five,' so walking onto that set was like, I couldn't believe that I was going to have a guest role on it, a day player role,' Hudson gushed. 'I was like, oh. It was so fun.' While on the live podcast episode, the 'Running Point' star also touched on why she turned down an acting job at the age of 16. 10 Kate Hudson in 'Party of Five.' Fox At the time, Hudson had begun seriously auditioning for roles and her stepdad, Kurt Russell, suggested she try out for the part of a young girl in his 1996 movie 'Escape from L.A.' 'I went in and auditioned and got that part, and I sort of realized, 'Oh, this is when you start to make choices that will define your career,'' the singer recounted. 'And, 'Do I want to be defined by being Kurt's daughter who got this part? No.'' '[It doesn't] matter if I got it because I was good enough,' continued Hudson, 'it would never be what people would ever think. And I knew that and was like, 'No, I can't.' So I ended up saying no to that, too.' 10 Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson. Redferns After working on 'Party of Five,' the 'Glass Onion' alum, played Larraine Cahill on Season 1 episode 9 of 'EZ Streets,' titled: Neither Have I Wings to Fly' in 1997. Then, in 2000, Hudson rose to fame as Penny lane in 'Almost Famous.' Which was inevitable, as the Hollywood vet always knew she wanted to be an actress. 10 Goldie Hawn attend the Premiere of 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.'

FilmMagic Hudson also recalled visiting Russell, 74, on location as a young child, which spurred her love of acting. 'My dad's sets were the fun sets,' she elaborated. 'It was like 'Big Trouble in Little China' and we had slides that would go down into rubber fish, and these amazing costumes.' 'And the thing is, when you grow up on a movie set, it's not that fun,' Hudson confessed. '[There] is a lot of waiting around, so you realize you really love it when you don't want to get off the movie set.' 10 Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson attend the 20th anniversary celebration of the Goldie Hawn Foundation.

Getty Images Hawn, 79, first started dating Russell in 1983, and the 'Bride Wars' actress shared that in order to be on set with either of her parents, she had to take a job on the film. 'Performing was always something I knew I was going to do,' Hudson noted. 'There was never a question, but really falling in love with the circus was something that I don't think all kids actually have when they're on a set.'
