Miranda Lambert and Elle King have a lot to celebrate: “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” is officially a #1 hit. 

Sitting at the top of the charts this week, “Drunk” is the first duet featuring two female artists to reach #1 at country radio since Reba McEntire and Linda Davis‘ Grammy-winning 1993 hit, “Does He Love You.”

“The fact that a duet by 2 women hasn’t been a number 1 in country music since 1993 is crazy to me. The fact that we got here today means even more because it’s bigger than us,” Miranda remarks on Instagram. “Thanks @reba and Linda for paving the way. Elle King I love you and your spirit.” 

The singer also shared behind-the-scenes photos from the video shoot of her and Elle dressed in their 80s wedding garb, mugging for the camera with a beer can in Elle’s hand and a bottle of liquor in Miranda’s. 

“@elleking is one of my favorite artists and one of my favorite people to be around. I am proud to call her my friend and I’m so glad she asked me to do song this song with her,” the Texas native continues. “Thanks to everyone who played /streamed and sang along with us on Drunk. Now let’s get drunk and not wanna go home!”

“The life of this song has taught me so much, everything has its own time and path. And when in doubt, add @mirandalambert!!!” champions Elle. “I am so thankful to you Miranda, you are a shining light, and there’s no one I enjoy singing with more, than you.” 

Miranda previously topped the charts in 2020 with her solo single, “Bluebird,” while Elle had a #1 duet in 2016 with Dierks Bentley on “Different for Girls.”

Lizzo’s cheeks are out…again, this time to help promote her upcoming single, “About Damn Time.”

The “Good as Hell” singer shared a snippet of the new song on Instagram on Sunday, where she’s seen sporting an all-black cut-out look in the video, that as a surprise factor revealed her entire backside.

“SONG OF THE SUMMER DROPPING 4/14! ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME” Lizzo wrote in her caption, alerting fans of the song’s pre-save link in her bio. 

In the 12-second clip, Lizzo is first seen in the back seat of a black SUV as she rolls the window down slowly. She then exits the vehicle and heads toward a jet that seems to be waiting for her, and up the plane steps. The camera, which first caught Lizzo walking from the front, moves to her backside, showcasing the large cut-outs that reveal her full bottom. She pauses, giving a second for viewers to take in the scene, then proceeds up the stairs. 

“Love her energy!” a fan wrote on Instagram with a bunch of heart and crown emojis. “She’s amazing I feel good every time I see her no matter what mood I’m in,” said another. 

Lizzo shared the same cheeky video on her Instagram Story with the note, “Heard y’all was lookin’ for the song of the summer.”

The Black Crowes will release a six-track EP titled 1972 that finds the band celebrating the 50th anniversary of some of their favorite songs.

The EP, which you can pre-order now, will be available digitally exclusively via Amazon Music on May 4, and will get a wide release on CD and vinyl on May 6.

1972 includes covers of six tunes selected by the band in collaboration with Amazon Music. The songs, which were recorded this past January at Los Angeles’ historic Sunset Sound studio, are renditions of The Rolling Stones‘ “Rocks Off,” T. Rex‘s “The Slider,” Rod Stewart‘s “You Wear It Well,” Little Feat‘s “Easy to Slip,” David Bowie‘s “Moonage Daydream,” and The Temptations‘ “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.”

The “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” was released as an advance digital single today via Amazon Music.

“The year 1972 was a watershed moment, some of the greatest rock and roll songs ever made came out of that year,” Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson says. “To get our band back together in the studio, it had to be a celebration of rock and roll. This record is about love and devotion to something that makes us feel good. We hope that it makes fans around the world feel the same.”

The Black Crowes will celebrate the EP’s release with a special performance taking place May 4 at 10 p.m. ET at the famed LA-area club the Whiskey a Go-Go that will be livestreamed at Amazon Music’s channel on Twitch.

During the streaming event, physical copies of the 1972 EP and exclusive merchandise will be available for purchase.

Meanwhile, a behind-the-scenes video focusing on the 1972 sessions has been posted at The Black Crowes’ YouTube channel.

Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Unlimited Love is the best-selling rock album in over a year.

The record debuts at number one on the Billboard 200 with a total of 97,500 equivalent album units, 82,500 of which were traditional album sales. The last rock artist to beat that figure was Beatles legend Paul McCartney, whose 2020 solo effort McCartney III moved 107,000 units — 104,000 of which were album sales — upon its chart debut in January 2021.

Surprisingly, Unlimited Love is only the second RHCP album to top the Billboard 200. The first was 2006’s Stadium Arcadium, which was notably the last album to feature guitarist John Frusciante before he left the Peppers in 2009. Unlimited Love marks the band’s first album with Frusciante back in the fold since he returned in late 2019.

Red Hot Chili Peppers will launch a global stadium tour in support of Unlimited Love beginning with a European run in June, followed by a U.S. leg kicking off in July.

Miley Cyrus‘ parents, Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus, are moving to end their nearly 30-year marriage, again.  This marks the third time the couple has filed for divorce. 

TMZ reports Tish was the one who initiated the divorce, filing the necessary documents in Tennessee and requesting their assets be divided equally.  She has cited “irreconcilable differences” as cause for the separation.  

In addition, the outlet states Billy Ray and Tish have stopped living together and have resided in separate homes for more than two years. This aligns with fans’ theories, as they noticed the two haven’t appeared together in Miley’s Instagram — even for family holiday photos — in recent months.  In addition, neither Tish nor Billy Ray have been seen together in public since 2020.

The former couple have twice before filed for divorce, with Billy Ray first pulling the plug in 2010 before reconciling.  Three years later, Tish filed for divorce in 2013 but the two again reconciled.

The former couple tied the knot in 1993 and share five children together.
