Twenty One Pilots Chart Another Top 10 Hit With Its New Smash Single
Twenty One Pilots' 'The Contract' surges to No. 8 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart, marking ... More the band's nineteenth career top 10 ahead of the Breach album release. LOS ANGELES, CA - DECEMBER 12: Musicians Josh Dun (L) and Tyler Joseph of Twenty One Pilots perform onstage during 106.7 KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas 2015 at The Forum on December 12, 2015 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor CBS Radio) getty Fans of Twenty One Pilots only have to wait about two months to get their hands on the duo's brand new album Breach , which is set to drop on September 5. The pair announced the project a short time ago and previewed the upcoming collection with lead single 'The Contract.' That track quickly became a hit on a number of Billboard charts less than a month ago, and after just a handful of weeks on one radio list, it brings Twenty One Pilots back to the top 10, granting the group a fast smash. 'The Contract' currently lives on five Billboard rankings, all of which are focused on either one style or several related ones. The tune jumps from No. 16 to No. 8 on the Alternative Airplay chart, reaching the top 10 for the first time only three weeks into its stay on the tally. Twenty One Pilots earn a career nineteenth top 10 hit on the Alternative Airplay ranking as 'The Contract' climbs. Included in the band's 19 top 10 hits are 11 No. 1s – several of which ruled for double-digit frames. The group has only pushed 22 songs to the Alternative Airplay roster, and almost all of them have cracked the top 10. 'The Contract' only appears inside the top 10 on the Alternative Airplay chart at the moment, but it also rises to a new high point on the Rock & Alternative Airplay list. On that ranking, Twenty One Pilots move from No. 18 to No. 15, and in another few weeks, the single could break into the loftiest tier. The Latest From Twenty One Pilots Also Falls At the same time that 'The Contract' is growing at radio, the tune declines on several general consumption rankings. This week, the latest from Twenty One Pilots falls on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs, and Hot Alternative Songs charts. The single came close to reaching the top 10 on all of them during its short stays, but has yet to do so.

Nelly and Ashanti rekindled their romance in 2023, about 10 years after originally breaking their relationship off.

The Marshall Monitor IIIs are my favorite headphones — and they're currently $30 off
As a reviews writer at Tom's Guide, I test some of the best over-ear headphones and other audio gear — and nothing makes me happier than a set of cans that not only sounds great but is extremely comfortable too. The Marshall Monitor IIIs are one such set. They look fantastic, they sound even better, and they're currently $30 off at Amazon U.S. I use the Monitor IIIs every day and everywhere — on the bus to and from work, while chilling on the couch, on busy trains, you name it. I don't think I've tried a comfier set of cans. I'd highly recommend them at their full retail price, so the $30 discount is too good to pass up. A great internal upgrade to Marshall's already impressive noise canceling, bringing a slate of new features to the table. They're comfortable, sound great, and fold up smaller than any other pair of noise-canceling headphones that money can buy. Ever since I ditched my earbuds for them a few months ago, my ears have been beaming with joy, for a few reasons. First of all, their plush leather earcups sit snugly around my ears, and having worn them for eight straight hours at a point, I can confidently say they never hurt my ears — or make them too hot. The leatherette headband with the silicon band also helps relieve pressure on my head. The main event, of course, is the sound quality, because what good is a pair of headphones if it doesn't sound astonishingly fantastic? Fret not because the Monitor IIIs don't let you down in the audio department, and listening to them once lets you know loud and clear why Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong is their ambassador. Basslines (even distorted ones) sound thumping and powerful in songs like 'Come Around' by 070 Shake and 'Money' by Pink Floyd, while backing vocals are balanced well alongside the fronts in 'The Contract' by Twenty One Pilots and 'Let You Fade' by Linkin Park. And of course, the Monitor IIIs' 100-hour battery life (ANC off) will have you jamming to your favorite tunes for hours and hours. Like I mentioned up top, I'd pay full price for the Monitor IIIs any day. The ANC is highly effective, the battery life is ridiculously epic, music sounds stupidly good, and they're extremely comfortable. And you too can experience all of these features at a lower price as the headphones are currently $30 off at Amazon U.S. — but I can't imagine this deal will last for long so best to snap it up as soon as possible!

Bonnaroo 2025 Canceled Due to Severe Weather: ‘We Are Beyond Gutted'
After issuing an evacuation notice to attendees earlier Friday (June 13), the remainder of the 2025 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival has now been canceled due to severe weather. The Manchester, Tennessee, festival shared the news on social media around 7:30 p.m. local time Friday, saying that the updated forecast was showing unsustainable conditions for on-site campers as heavy thunderstorms ripped through the area. More from Billboard Bonnaroo Tells Attendees to Evacuate As Severe Weather Approaches Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Head to Florida for Stanley Cup Final Twenty One Pilots Drop New Single, 'The Contract,' Detail North American Tour Dates 'Today, the National Weather Service provided us with an updated forecast with significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days,' the statement reads. 'We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo. We are going to make things right with you, and you will find refund information at the end of this message, but let's start with the next steps.' The message goes on to suggest that any campers whose sites are in decent shape or who are safely inside an RV consider camping overnight to prioritize evacuating those festivalgoers in the roughest situations. 'The number one thing we need from the Bonnaroo community is patience,' the message reads. 'Some of your fellow campers' sites are in rough shape. The rain has settled in areas and made certain parts of Outeroo difficult to manage. We'd like to prioritize getting those folks as well as those with accessibility needs off The Farm as soon as possible this evening. To do this, we ask that if your campsite is in good shape or if you're in an RV or pre-pitched accommodation, please consider spending the night with us and we'll start working to get you out of here safely tomorrow.' The festival wrapped its message by reiterating how 'crushed' organizers are to make this decision. 'We have put our hearts and souls into making this weekend the most special one of the year, and cannot express how crushed we are to have to make this decision. Thank you in advance for your patience, your positivity and your unfailing Bonnaroovian spirit.' As promised, the post ends with refund details, spelling out what tickets and parking passes will be refunded in full and what will be returned in part since Thursday's day 1 went off without a hitch. Find the full refund details in the second slide below: Bonnaroo kicked off Thursday with performances from Luke Combs, Dom Dolla, Insane Clown Posse and Rebecca Black. Friday night's headliners were scheduled to be Tyler, The Creator, John Summit and Glass Animals; Saturday's lineup was led by Olivia Rodrigo, Avril Lavigne and Justice; and Sunday would have wrapped up with Hozier, Vampire Weekend and Queens of the Stone Age.
