Mumford & Sons’ new album, Prizefighter, knocked out the competition to debut at #1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart.

Prizefighter gives the “Little Lion Man” outfit their second #1 in their home country in less than a year, after their last album, Rushmere, also debuted atop the Official Albums Chart after it was released in March 2025.

“Two UK No.1 albums in a year is something we never dreamed of,” Mumford & Sons say. “This one means a lot to us, and we can’t thank you enough. Keep prizefighting.”

Overall, Prizefighter marks Mumford & Sons’ fourth #1 across the pond, along with Rushmere, 2012’s Babel and 2015’s Wilder Mind.

Mumford & Sons can celebrate their latest chart achievement with their performance on Saturday Night Live on Saturday. They’ll launch a North American tour in June.

Pink is going to be hosting a week of The Kelly Clarkson Show in March, so on Friday’s episode she popped in to learn the ropes.

Kelly was talking about the guests on the episode when Pink appeared, clipboard in hand, ready to take notes. She then brought out her best friend, actress and comedian Kerri Kenney-Silver, who’s going to co-host at least one episode with her. Kerri also had a clipboard and declared, “We’re so ready.”

The video cuts to Pink and Kerri watching Kelly, clipboards in hand. “I feel like I’m back on American Idol and, like, Randy [Jackson] and Paula [Abdul] and Simon [Cowell], and they have clipboards, they’re watching,” Kelly laughed. “I’m gonna be so great.”

Pink’s hosting stint begins Monday in honor of Women’s History Month.

On Thursday, Pink refuted reports that she and her husband, Carey Hart, had split. According to Page Six, Pink has been in New York City, where The Kelly Clarkson Show films, quite a bit lately. The outlet speculates that this may have led to the erroneous reports.

Actual proof that Rihanna is in the studio: ‘Longest day ever’

Running a billion-dollar beauty and fashion empire and taking care of three young children keeps Rihanna busy, but we now have proof that she’s actually carving out time for the studio, too.

In an Instagram video, Rihanna documents a night in her life, which begins at 9 p.m. and then segues to a 10 p.m. meeting for her Savage X Fenty lingerie brand. After looking at sketches and autographing vinyl copies of her albums, she and her team get the giggles and announce that everything is “approved.”

“I have to go to the studio after this,” Rihanna declares. “And I have to make a Mardi Gras costume for my son, after the studio. Longest day ever.”

At 2:18 a.m., we see the word “Sleep?” being crossed out and replaced with “Studio.” Rih is then seen in the studio with collaborators at 5 a.m., vibing out to what we assume is music, but we can’t hear it. 

“We in business, Kuk,” someone says. “Yes, let’s go,” Rih replies. It’s possible that “Kuk” refers to Kuk Harrell, who did vocal production on Rihanna’s hits “Only Girl (In the World)” and “Umbrella,” among many other songs.

At 6:45 a.m., Rihanna heads off for “mom duties” and “still no sleep.” We see her with a hot glue gun creating a fancy parasol, as well as putting embellishments on a denim jacket and jeans for the Mardi Gras costume. At 8 a.m. we get the reveal as her son shows off his new fit and parasol.

Finally, at 9:41 a.m., Rihanna, wearing a Mardi Gras mask and Savage X Fenty sweats, signs off to the tune of Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman.”

Rihanna’s last album, ANTI, came out in 2016.
