Metallica's Smash Brings The Band To A Milestone For The First Time
'Enter Sandman' is a bestseller yet again in the United States. The track currently appears on a trio of Billboard rankings dedicated purely to sales, and this frame is especially notable for the tune.
Metallica's timeless cut lifts one spot on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, earning its one-hundredth stay on the list of the bestselling rock-only tracks in the country. The track is so massively popular that it has spent more time on the tally than Metallica's other 13 charting successes combined.
The group's second-longest running entry is 'Master of Puppets,' which so far has managed just seven appearances on the list.
While 'Enter Sandman' is easily Metallica's longest-charting release on the Rock Digital Song Sales roster, it doesn't stand as the band's highest-peaking. Both 'Master of Puppets' and 'Lux Æterna' peaked at No. 2 in 2022. 'Enter Sandman,' meanwhile, stalled at No. 3 in 2021 and has yet to surge any higher.
Metallica is one of just three acts on the 15-spot Rock Digital Song Sales chart at the moment that claims a more-than-100-week winner. 'Enter Sandman' joins 'The Sound of Silence' by Disturbed (329 weeks) and 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC, which this frame reaches 520 turns — exactly a decade — on the list.
'Enter Sandman' may be rising slightly on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, but that's actually the American tally where it performs the worst. It appears at No. 3 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs roster, and the tune also dips slightly to No. 5 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales list.

AMC now warns moviegoers to expect ‘25-30 minutes' of ads and trailers
AMC Theatres is making it easier for moviegoers to know the actual start time of their film screening and avoid sitting through lengthy ads. A new notice has started appearing when people purchase tickets via the AMC website, warning that 'movies start 25-30 minutes after showtime.' This already mirrors the estimated runtime of AMC's preshow content, which includes ads and trailers, but now customers will be better informed if they want to arrive a little later without missing the start of their movie. This small change also tracks with a report made by The Hollywood Reporter last week that said AMC will soon start 'addressing the preshow on its ticketing platforms.' Starting today, AMC will also show more ads than before, meaning its preshow lineup may have to be reconfigured to avoid exceeding the 30-minute mark. The company made an agreement with the National CineMedia ad network that includes as much as five minutes of commercials shown 'after a movie's official start time,' according to The Hollywood Reporter, and an additional 30-to-60-second 'Platinum Spot' that plays before the last one or two trailers. AMC was the only major theater chain to reject the National CineMedia ad spot when it was pitched in 2019, telling Bloomberg at the time that it believed 'US moviegoers would react quite negatively.' Now struggling financially amid an overall decline in movie theater attendance and box-office grosses, AMC has reversed course, telling The Hollywood Reporter that its competitors 'have fully participated for more than five years without any direct impact to their attendance.'

Travis Kelce Reveals the ‘Craziest Part' of Dating Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce Reveals the 'Craziest Part' of Dating Taylor Swift originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is entering his 13th NFL season and his third since he began dating 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift. He's already totaled 1,004 receptions for 12,151 receiving yards and 77 touchdowns — and he's not done yet. On the personal side, Kelce's life changed significantly in 2023 when he and Swift made things public. While he was already widely recognized as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, his fame skyrocketed to a new level. The three-time Super Bowl champion has been under a microscope in the public eye, much like Swift has been throughout her career. Kelce spoke about that aspect of his relationship on the latest episode of the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, calling it the "craziest part." "Yeah, it's just the being, I don't want to say being, it's just the paparazzi that's probably the only thing I didn't really grasp until you're in it, and that's probably the craziest part though. Like I'm just playing golf and all of a sudden in the trees there's a [expletive] guy with a camera and you're just like 'Oh [expletive], like I got to go to the restroom now I can't just go over here,' You know what I mean? Never been ashamed of slamming beers, just don't want my meat on Page Six." Kelce has a point. He's always been outgoing and open, but now he has to be mindful that anything he says or does can be all over the internet within minutes. With Chiefs training camp starting in three weeks, that only means one thing: the public appearances won't stop and TV broadcasts will soon be back to showing Swift in her suite at Kelce's games, supporting him as he looks to win his fourth Super Bowl. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 1, 2025, where it first appeared.

David R. Slavitt, Poet and Critic With a Side Gig in Pulp Fiction, Dies at 90
One day in 1966, not long after he wrote a scathingly funny review of Anya Seton's novel 'Avalon' in The New York Herald Tribune, David R. Slavitt arrived for lunch in Manhattan with the publisher Bernard Geis. Mr. Slavitt was an up-and-coming poet and novelist with a preference for the classics. Mr. Geis specialized in the opposite: He had just hit it big with 'Valley of the Dolls,' a salacious novel of sex and secrets by Jacqueline Susann. Having thrilled at Mr. Slavitt's work tearing down 'Avalon,' Mr. Geis asked him to write his own 'Valley of the Dolls.' Mr. Slavitt protested. He said he had a 'serious' novel, 'Rochelle, or, Virtue Rewarded,' coming out later that year, and didn't want to undermine it with something much lighter. Plus, he said, he was a highbrow author and translator of classical poetry, not a paperback hack. But the chance to try a new genre was too tempting. He hit on a solution: writing under a pseudonym, Henry Sutton. The result, 'The Exhibitionist,' about an actress and her rich father, appeared in 1967. Tame by today's standards, it was decried as near pornography. And it sold four million copies. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
