The Frank Zappa compilation ZAPPAtite – Frank Zappa’s Tastiest Tracks is being released on vinyl for the first time.

The record will make its wax debut on July 17. It was previously only available on CD and digital upon its original release in 2016.

The two-LP package is divided into four sections — Appetizers, Entrées, Second Course and Desserts — and is described in a press release as “an inviting entry point into the more rock-oriented side of [Zappa’s] expansive repertoire.”

“This isn’t a greatest hits album, as Frank didn’t really have ‘hits,’ per se, nor is it a ‘best of,’ since it would be impossible to fit so much awesome onto one disc,” Zappa’s son Ahmet Zappa said of the collection back in 2016. “It’s a veritable smorgasbord of musicality for the curious and a buffet of favorites for the fans.”

Miley Cyrus has many pets, including dogs, cats and horses, but she just added a new one to her menagerie. According to Wags and Walks, a nonprofit animal rescue group, Miley adopted a 20-year-old tortoise named Teru from them. “When we heard that @mileycyrus was hoping to adopt a tortoise, we knew we had to help make the connection happen. After a little coordination, the stars aligned, and Teru officially found his forever home with Miley,” the charity wrote on Instagram, sharing photos of Miley feeding her new pet.

Olivia Rodrigo has already released two videos for songs from her upcoming album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, but she’s apparently filmed another one. She was photographed during the shoot standing on a New York City street while surrounded by dancers in pink tutus. 

Ariana Grande is releasing her new single, “hate that I made you love me,” on Friday, and so far all we’ve heard from it are some electronic bleeps and bloops. But on Tuesday she shared what seems to be a lyric from the song. She posted a photo of herself and captioned it, “cause i barely tried.”

KATSEYE’s performance at the American Music Awards gave fans a preview of what to expect on their upcoming WILDWORLD TOUR, but it may be hard to get tickets. The trek, which will see the group playing in the U.K., Europe and North America, sold out in just 48 hours. Shows were added in London, New York, LA and Mexico City, but those have also sold out. The tour launches Sept. 1 in Dublin, Ireland.

Bruno Mars is giving fans a look at his current The Romantic tour.

He’s released a live video performance of his single “Risk It All,” which was filmed on tour. Since it’s the first song in his set, the video shows the curtain rising to reveal Bruno standing alone onstage, with a huge sign reading “The Romantic” hanging above him. As he sings the song, a video animation of a stained glass window appears behind him. 

After he hits a long note, he says, “Ladies and gentlemen, The Hooligans.” The lights come up and another curtain opens to reveal his band and a full horn section, who join him for a bit. As the song ends, the lights go down again, the curtain closes and Bruno is standing alone onstage once again.

While Bruno didn’t attend Monday’s American Music Awards, he ended up winning three trophies: best male R&B artist, best R&B song for “I Just Might” and best R&B album for The Romantic. The tour continues Wednesday in Toronto, Canada.

Queen Latifah was introduced to the world through music, but it’s been years since she released a project. With her upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, she says she new music may finally be on the way.

“I’m going to drop some music,” she told People. “You know, I got all this music at home, and I forget y’all haven’t heard it. I need to let somebody else hear it other than my friends.”

Queen’s last project was 2009’s Persona, but she says she feels “so close to” music.

“I do enough things that allow me to get out there and sing or rap or do shows so that people can remember,” she said. “Lest they forget how I got into this game. Let me show you right quick.” 

“I keep it in my back pocket at all times,” she told People. “But yeah, I guess it has been a minute, so probably will drop some new music this year.”

“It’s time,” she added. “Get ready for the many genres that it will come out in.”

Queen will be inducted into the Rock & Roll of Hame on Nov. 14 alongside fellow honorees like the late Luther Vandross, MC Lyte, Celia Cruz and Sade.

“It’s really almost odd to be inducted with people who are such influences and such heroes in my mind, but such a huge, huge honor to be in anything that’s a class with them,” she told People.

The RRHOF ceremony will be available to watch in December on ABC and Disney+.

Ella Langley’s lock on the Billboard charts continues, as the hitmaker occupies the top three spots on the Hot Country Songs chart. Not only that, she’s done it for an entire month.

For the fourth week, “Choosin’ Texas” is at #1, followed by its follow-up radio single, “Be Her,” at #2 and Ella’s duet with Morgan Wallen, “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” at #3.

The only time that’s ever been done before is in 2024, when Beyoncé reigned in the top three spots for a single week with tracks from Cowboy Carter. 

Meanwhile, Drake takes over the top spot on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Janice STFU,” interrupting Ella’s 10-week nonconsecutive run, at least for now.

Koe Wetzel took the “High Road” to land the most-played song at country radio in 2025.

Now he’s following up the double Platinum, five-week #1 with Jessie Murph with a new radio single from his upcoming sixth studio album. 

“‘Hurts Like You’ was one of the first songs that we wrote for the record,” Koe says. “It’s kind of about a toxic relationship; whenever you get into those situations, you know it’s not good for you, but there’s just something about it that keeps bringing you back. It’s hard to get away from. I feel like a lot of people go through that, so I hope people can relate to the way that we felt about it.”

“Hurts Like You” is the lead release from The Night Champion, which drops June 12.
