Billie Eilish's Album Surges A Year After It First Became A Bestseller
Just over a year after Hit Me Hard and Soft, Billie Eilish's latest album, debuted on charts in the United Kingdom, the project is suddenly rising again. The full-length largely hasn't disappeared since its arrival in the spring of 2024, but at the moment, the Grammy-nominated set is climbing on multiple tallies. It even manages to return to one as it becomes a bestselling release across a variety of formats once more.
Purchases of Hit Me Hard and Soft Surge
Sales of Hit Me Hard and Soft have clearly grown in the U.K. recently, as Eilish's collection returns to the top 40 on a trio of lists focused solely on purchases. Hit Me Hard and Soft rises more than 20 spaces on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales charts, landing, coincidentally, at No. 40 on both at the same time. Eilish also reenters the Official Vinyl Albums ranking at No. 33 with her 2024 effort.
Sales Drive the Album Higher
All those purchases help Hit Me Hard and Soft climb a single spot on the Official Albums chart, which ranks the most consumed projects in the nation. Sales are largely to thank, as the title drops slightly on the Official Albums Streaming ranking, dipping just one space from No. 19 to No. 20.
Hit Me Hard and Soft's Lifespan on the Charts
Hit Me Hard and Soft has now spent 58 weeks on all but one of the tallies in the U.K. where it can currently be found. The set has only missed that mark on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, where it's now up to 45 frames as it returns.
Happier Than Ever Rises Again
Sales of two of Eilish's full-lengths are growing in the U.K., as Happier Than Ever also jumps on the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales rankings, appearing at Nos. 64 and 66, respectively. Last week, the singer-songwriter's sophomore studio effort appeared below the No. 80 mark.
Billie Eilish's Catalog May Continue to Climb
Eilish's entire catalog may continue to grow in the U.K. as she is about to touch down in England for a string of shows. The singer is preparing for half a dozen dates at The O2 Arena in London, and then four nights in Manchester before heading to Dublin, Asia, and back to the United States for another leg.

IRONHEART Fans Say It's 'One of the Best Marvel TV Shows' and Demand a Season 2 After That Wild Cliffhanger — GeekTyrant
Marvel's Ironheart has wrapped its first season on Disney+, and social media is on fire with praise… and panic. Why panic? Because Ironheart ended on a hell of a cliffhanger, and we have no idea if Marvel will continue the story. Spoilers Ahead! The final episode, titled 'The Past Is the Past', doesn't just deliver a standout battle between Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) and Parker Robbins aka The Hood (Anthony Ramos), it also introduced the long-rumored MCU devil himself, Mephisto, and fans aren't handling it calmly. In the final minutes, Riri successfully separates Parker from his possessed cloak, but before she can catch a break, she's face to face with Mephisto in human form. He plays it smooth, preys on her grief, and by the look of it, convinces her to make a deal. The last shot? Riri hugging her best friend Natalie (Lyric Ross), who appears to be alive again, and showing off markings similar to the ones that corrupted Parker. Yeah. That's not ominous at all. Naturally, fans exploded on social media. "THAT ENDING ARE YOU KIDDING ME???" tweeted one disturbed viewer. "I need Marvel to greenlight season 2 as soon as humanly possible because you can't just have Riri make a deal with the devil like that and not promise me a follow up." Another fan said: "Ironheart is one of the best tv shows Marvel has made FIGHT WITH A WALL I DON'T CARE. Riri, you will forever be loved. AND FINALLY GETTING MEPHISTO???? oh we're so back and I will be expecting a season 2." Others echoed the sentiment with enthusiasm and heartfelt pleading: "Day one asking Marvel for [an] Ironheart season 2 and Strange Academy show sequel who's with me." And one viewer said: "There's a lot of spoilers with the second half of Ironheart so I'm not going to go into specifics, but PLEASE just give this show a shot. It finally avoids the MCU show problem of a rushed/poor finale and is a great time. Just please Marvel don't leave these storylines to die..." A lot of Fans begging for that second season! Ironheart's ending launched a whole new path forward, one that could redefine magic in the MCU. The only question now is: Will Marvel follow through? I can't say that I'm as enthusisatic about the show as these Marvel fans. But hey! A lot of people enjoyed what Marvel delivered! What did you think? Here are a few more reactions.

Inglewood — Neighborhood Review
Let's start big picture. What's the vibe here? Los Angeles' Inglewood is pulsing. On game day and concert nights, the town lights up big time and attracts people from all over. But the vibe goes deeper than the stadium and the concert venue. It's a historically Black and Hispanic/Latino neighborhood with deep cultural roots. There are tons of homegrown businesses and eateries that have been around for generations, perfect for a pre-concert meal. Check out Dulan's on Crenshaw, one of the best spots in the city, for a hearty meal of smothered chicken, candied yams, and mac & cheese. The community is proud, close-knit, and evolving with longtime residents and new transplants negotiating rapid development together, so be cognizant of that. Any standout features or must-sees? There is some very cool art around SoFi Stadium, including two sizable sculptures by LA artist Alison Saar, colorful murals by Jocelyn Tsaih, Amir Fallah, and Calida Rawles, and a 'Love' sculpture by Ruben Rojas in Rams colors that is a popular selfie stop. On special occasions, the Kinsey African American Art & History Collection can be viewed in the stadium's concourse. And don't miss the opportunity to stroll around Lake Park outside the stadium with its giant, Seussian aloe trees and layered pathways designed to resemble a natural cliffside descent. The Kia Forum doesn't have as many sites, but the building itself is of interest. Designed as a mini Romanesque coliseum, the Forum features bold white columns and a vivid red exterior—a blend of classical grandeur and midcentury-modern style. Was it easy to get around? SoFi and the Kia Forum are walking distance, so it's easy to get around. It can get a bit backed up in the parking lot during events, so showing up early is recommended. All said and done, what—and who—is this best for? This corner of Inglewood is perfect for the kind of person who wants to be able to say 'I saw it live' and actually mean it. Think superfans and those who get chills waiting for the kickoff of a big game.

SR_A Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Samuel Ross appears to be experiencing a very English societal transition that is inflecting his work in new ways. Having cashed out of A-Cold-Wall, the brand with which he made his initial mark, he directed some of the fruits of his labor to moving into a big house in the country. The 1837 pile, situated in Northamptonshire, has grounds that run to three acres. On a chat this week Ross said: 'It's the ideal scenario in which to think, and contemplate, and have psychedelic outlashes of thought. And to make art, and to have that atelier component. As you know I've kind of had this vision since 2019 to build a future British Atelier based on modernity and craft, and in this collection it is moving beyond concept and into being.' Where A-C-W grew very much from the crowded horizon and tension of the metropolis, SR_A, after its elevated-nomad intro, seemed suddenly here to have been touched by the stillness and calm of the new surroundings that he and his family are now relishing. Or as he put it: 'it's this idea of dreaming about what social mobility can look like from a craft and from a class and clothing standpoint.' That new field of dreams prompted Ross to recruit a veteran tailor and his assistant to SR_A's Islington-based studio space. The result was some very handsome half silk-lined linen suiting. Outerwear, a Ross forte, was delivered in pre-petrochemical luxury materials: velvets, silks, linens. There was quite a lotus-eatery decadence to velvet trousers and coats edged with ostrich feathers. All of the pieces are made in the UK, following Ross's localist rubric, with the exception of the handmade-in-Morocco loafers. Tote bags were crafted in deer hide, or napa, with sections of cowhide. Said Ross: 'Most of my stories thus far have been about social restraint, dissonance, alienation, and grieving, almost. At this point, that's not where my mind is at. I'm far more interested in illuminating stories that offer social mobility to my generation and to my people. I think that's way more interesting.' This was a fascinating fashion expression of cultured artistic bohemianism made possible by Ross's streetwear-catalyzed, 21st century journey through England's most established cycle of social uplift.
