Evanescence's ‘The Rehearsal' Synch Flies to Top TV Songs Chart No. 1
After appearing in the second season of HBO's The Rehearsal twice in the month of May, Evanescence's 'Bring Me to Life' reaches No. 1 on Billboard's Top TV Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), for May 2025. Rankings for the Top TV Songs chart are based on song and show data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of May 2025. More from Billboard El Fantasma Claims Eighth No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay Chart With 'Ya Me Vale Madre' Khalil Fong and Tanya Chua Named Best Male and Female Singers at the 3rd Wave Music Awards Doechii & Tyler, the Creator Preview Pharrell-Produced 'Get Right' Collab During Louis Vuitton Paris Show 'Bring Me to Life,' which features vocals from Paul McCoy, was first heard in the third episode of the Nathan Fielder-led docu-comedy series' second season, which premiered May 4; it returned on the season finale (May 25). The context of the song's synch: Fielder posits that pilot Sully Sullenberger could have been listening to the track, No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2003, while he landed a plane in the Hudson River (the Miracle on the Hudson) in 2009. In May 2025, 'Bring Me to Life' earned 22.1 million official on-demand U.S. streams and sold 3,000 downloads, according to Luminate. It returned to Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart twice, paced by an appearance at No. 6 on the May 17-dated ranking. 'Bring Me to Life' reigns on Top TV Songs over Stevie Nicks' 'Edge of Seventeen,' which enters at No. 2 after a synch in Will Trent that aired May 13. It was heard in the final episode of the third season of the ABC drama (with a fourth on the way, as it was renewed in April). One of Nicks' definitive solo tunes, 'Edge of Seventeen,' which peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100 in 1982, earned 10.5 million streams and 2,000 downloads in May 2025. The latest Top TV Songs also features three songs each from the premiere seasons of Netflix's Sirens and Amazon Prime Video's The Better Sister. Sirens leads the pair thanks to the No. 3 rank of Blue Swede's 'Hooked On a Feeling' from its fifth episode (8.7 million streams, 1,000 downloads), followed by The Rolling Stones' 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' from The Better Sister at No. 5 (4.6 million streams, 1,000 downloads).

Metallica's Big Week On The Hard Rock Chart: A Comeback And A Milestone
Metallica lands two hits on Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, with "Enter Sandman" ... More holding at No. 2 and "Nothing Else Matters" returning at No. 9. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 01: Lead singer and guitarist James Hetfield of Metallica performs onstage at Lumen Field on September 01, 2024 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) Metallica is in the midst of another exciting week on Billboard's hard rock charts. The group can almost always be found on one or two of the genre-focused tallies, though some periods are bigger than others, depending on what's happening with the band and what competition it faces. Even with nothing brand new to promote, Metallica still manages an impressive showing, as the rock outfit continues to perform well with decades-old material that has hardly faded in popularity. Metallica Stands Alone With Two Hits This week, Metallica is the only act that fills more than one space on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. The tally, which ranks the bestselling digital tunes in the hard rock genre in the United States, only features 10 spots, and Metallica claims 20% of all available positions. "Enter Sandman" almost recaptures the throne, but instead holds steady in the runner-up spot. The cut is bested by "Fight Like a Girl," the latest release by Evanescence and which debuts at No. 1. At the same time, "Nothing Else Matters" returns to the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales ranking, reentering the roster at No. 9. 'Enter Sandman' Reaches 700 weeks "Enter Sandman" hits a remarkable milestone this frame, as it has now spent 700 weeks on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. That's an incredible achievement for any track on any Billboard tally – and especially for one to still be sitting at No. 2. Those 700 stays help 'Enter Sandman' far eclipse the longevity that "Nothing Else Matters" has enjoyed throughout the years. That single also reaches a new milestone, as this period marks its ninetieth frame on the same ranking. Metallica Joins Led Zeppelin With a Comeback Metallica earns one of two comebacks on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart this week as "Nothing Else Matters" returns at No. 9. "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin also rocks back onto the list, appearing just one spot further north, at No. 8. Those classics are joined by a pair of debuts, including "Fight Like a Girl" and 'Hordes Of Khan' by Sabaton, which begins its time on the tally at No. 6.

Drivers in Birmingham concerned about prices at the pump after Israel attacks Iran
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — The price of crude oil rose on Friday in the wake of Israel's attack on Iranian nuclear and military targets. Concerns about escalating violence could impact the flow of crude globally. We talked with drivers in Birmingham to see how concerned they are about paying more at the pump. Gasoline at a Chevron gas station in Avondale was $2.89 for regular gas on Friday afternoon. Michael Hinkle, who drives a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox, said he spends a lot of time behind the wheel playing the role of 'Uber dad': 'Taking my teenage daughter wherever she may want to go, and then my son, he's in sports, so you know, we got to get back and forth to his practice and his games,' Hinkle explained. If gas prices increase significantly, Hinkle said that may have to change. 'We'll probably have to start carpooling games and stuff like that, and I'll tell my daughter she'll have to cut back on going out with friends and everything, just hanging out at the house.' Evanescence coming to Tuscaloosa Sept. 11 Art Carden, who teaches economics at Samford University, explained how this might play out in terms of paying more at the pump. 'If we have a sustained conflict, then maybe we end up with slightly higher prices over the longer term,' Carden said. 'You might want to think about gas mileage the next time you buy a car. But this is anything but catastrophic.' Patrick De Haan, Head of Petroleum Analysis for GasBuddy, said you will be paying more at the pump. 'Diesel prices could go up 10 to 30 cents a gallon over the next week or two starting here and now,' he said. He said gas prices could jump 10 to 15 cents a gallon over the next week or so starting as early as this weekend. De Haan said these are just estimates that could change. He added that the good news at the end of the day is that gas prices are still about 31 cents lower than last year. He noted that if escalations continue and Iran shuts down the vital Strait of Hormuz, which sees a significant amount of crude oil flowing through it every day, the situation could change.

Ballerina puts Ana de Armas in the spotlight — But can she outgun John Wick?
You've got to hand it to the title—Ballerina: From the World of John Wick sounds like a crossover between a tiara-clad Disney fantasy and a headshot-heavy gun-fu opera. And misdirection is the whole point. This isn't pirouettes and pliés—it's flamethrowers, samurai swords, and body bags. Positioned neatly between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, Ballerina follows a new assassin with pointe shoes and a vendetta, played by Ana de Armas. It wants to deepen the John mythos with a feminine touch and emotional weight, but ends up oscillating between promising detours and recycled chaos. Stylish, yes. Coherent? Not always. As a child, Eve Macarro (played in her younger years by Victoria Comte) witnesses her father's brutal murder by a cult led by the icy and inscrutable Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne). She's whisked away by Winston (Ian McShane) to the Ruska Roma—a ballet school-slash-hitman factory overseen by the iron-willed Director (Anjelica Huston). There, Eve learns arabesques, handguns, and how to turn a pair of ice skates into weapons of mass destruction. Years later, when Eve recognizes a familiar symbol on one of her targets, she disobeys orders and embarks on a revenge spree that threatens a longstanding truce between her group and the Chancellor's. What follows is a trail of carnage leading to a snow-covered village full of cultists, one morally ambiguous hitman (Norman Reedus), and a final showdown involving flamethrowers, grenades, and more bruised larynxes than dialogue exchanges. Ana de Armas is clearly the film's MVP. With her understated calm and crisp physicality, she brings a compelling screen presence to Eve—even when the script forgets to give her character actual layers. The action, especially a 20-minute mid-film sequence that plays with structure and stakes, offers a glimpse of what the spin-off could have been if it weren't tethered so tightly to the Wick playbook. Visually, the film is as slick as you'd expect. Neon-drenched nightclubs, Eastern European rooftops, and dimly lit safehouses all look like they're borrowed from a stylish fever dream. The choreography, executed by a team of Wick alumni, delivers some technically sharp set pieces—even if we've seen many of them before. And while its thematic flirtation with 'feminine' violence—using intellect and agility over brute strength—is more talked about than shown, there's at least an attempt to carve out a new identity. Plus, the final track titled Fight Like a Girl by Evanescence and is the kind of bombastic closer you expect from a film that confuses ballet slippers with brass knuckles. Despite its best efforts to stand on its own toes, Ballerina keeps falling back into the John Wick formula like a dancer repeatedly slipping off pointe. The revenge arc, meant to fuel Eve's transformation, is sketched so thinly it barely registers. Emotional beats are hinted at and then dropped faster than a spent magazine. While the film suggests Eve should "fight differently," the choreography tells a different story. The punches, the shootouts, the nightclub brawls—they're nearly identical to scenes in John Wick's saga, just with a slightly different manicure. Even the camera movements feel like déjà vu, only with less polish in the editing bay. Norman Reedus's cameo feels like a setup for a different, more interesting movie. And Keanu Reeves, while present, mostly drops in to grunt, reload, and remind us of how well he wears a bulletproof suit. Ballerina isn't a bad film. It's just a familiar one wearing a different costume. There are sparks of originality, and Ana de Armas proves she can lead an action franchise—but the movie remains conflicted about whether it wants to honour the John Wick legacy or evolve from it. At its best, it's a brisk, bloody spin-off with style to spare. At its worst, it's a cover version of a John Wick hit single, played just slightly off-beat. Ballet may be about grace, precision, and control—Ballerina has two of those things. Just not always in the right order.
