Harry Styles’ return has secured him a chart double in his native U.K. His new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., has debuted at #1 on the album chart, while his new single “American Girls” debuts at #1 on the Official Singles Chart.

It was also the biggest first-week sales for any British act since Coldplay’s Moon Music and the biggest first week for any artist, period, since Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl last October.

Kiss All The Time… is Harry’s third #1 solo album in the U.K. In 2022, he also scored a chart double with his album Harry’s House and single “As It Was.”

As for “American Girls,” it’s Harry’s fourth U.K. #1 solo single after “Aperture,” “Sign of the Times” and “As It Was.”

We’ll find out Sunday if Harry’s album has also topped the Billboard 200 album chart.

One week after Ashley Cooke surprised fans with the ace sessions on YouTube, there’s now an EP of the same name to match. 

The six-song all-acoustic set includes four tracks from 2025’s ace: “baby blues,” “talk about,” “excuses” and her current hit, “the hell you are.” It adds the new composition “olive juice,” as well as a cover of LeAnn Rimes’ 2000 hit from Coyote Ugly, “Can’t Fight the Moonlight.” 

While lots of eyes are watching for Riley Green’s debut on the new CBS show Marshals, Ashley surprised fans by showing up first on the March 8 episode. During her cameo she performed “next to you,” from her debut album, shot in the dark, in a scene set in a bar.

Chase Infiniti was one of several women honored at Essence‘s Black Women in Hollywood event Thursday. While accepting her rising star award, the actress, who played Willa in One Battle After Another, shared how helpful Black women have been on her Hollywood journey.

“I’ve only had two projects released so far, but on both of those sets, I had the honor of working alongside incredible Black women,” Chase said, as per The Hollywood Reporter. “From the very start of my [One Battle After Another casting,] which lasted for over six months, I was able to go through that process with the incredible Regina Hall, and she gave me her time and advice and cared for me from the start before the role of Willa was even mine. She encouraged me to find my own voice as Willa and was there for me anytime I needed her. The last six months have been filled with many firsts, but having Teyana [Taylor] and Regina by my side through all made it so much sweeter.”

Chase also acknowledged Ruth Negga, with whom she worked on Presumed Innocent and who continues to be a “constant force in my life.”

“My career, though it’s just starting, has been marked by the generosity and mentorship of other Black women who paved the path for me,” she said, according to THR. “And I feel grateful and honored to be here today, but more than anything, extremely grateful to have been welcomed into this community.”

Other women honored during Black Women in Hollywood, which was hosted by Marsai Martin, were Kerry Washington, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, and some of the cast and crew members of Sinners. There were also musical performances by Tyrese, who performed “Sweet Lady,” and Mya, who closed the event with a rendition of “Unbreakable.”

Jack Harlow pivots from rapping to singing on his new album, Monica. In an interview with The New York Times‘ Popcast, he said he made the shift because he was unhappy with the rap songs he had initially recorded for the project — and with the braggadocio that typically defines the genre.

“I was getting to the point where I was dreading going to the studio,” he said. “And I thought about, what do I actually want to do? What would intrigue me? It just struck me that I would want to do something a little more egoless.”

Jack said that as he gets older, he finds it harder to be boastful in his music, though he knows it’s “a pillar of rap.”

Inspired by Stevie Wonder’s timeless music — which he described as “infused with love” — Jack said he aimed to make music that feels closer to the person he wants to be: a “little less self-indulgent.”

He also leaned toward the softer, more melodic music he enjoys listening to.

Unlike some of his white counterparts who pivoted from rap to country, Jack took the R&B route on Monica and “got Blacker,” a choice that he said made the creative process even more appealing.

“I love Black music. I love the sound of Black music. And, of course, I’m hyper-aware of the politics of today, that safer landing spot that a lot of my white contemporaries have found,” he said.

He added that he ultimately followed what sounded right to him.

Recorded at New York’s Electric Lady Studios, Monica is now available on streaming platforms and features nods to ’90s R&B, though Jack said he still considers himself a rapper first.

“I just want it to be pleasant,” he said of the album. “I wanted to add something to my discography that could be enjoyed passively.”

Fans who’ve been hoping for more shirtless shots of Riley Green finally get their wish in his new music video for “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” with Carly Pearce. 

The steamy video is a bit of a callback to his treatment for “Worst Way,” as he and Carly drink wine, embrace and — yes — remove items of clothing. 

Any sexual chemistry you see, however, seems to be based on a sense of mutual admiration as musicians.

“Collaborating with artists I’m a fan of is one of my favorite things to do,” Carly says. “I’ve been a fan of Riley’s for so long and knew if we could find the right moment, it would be special. ‘If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay’ is the perfect moment for us!”

“I’ve been a huge fan of Carly and her voice for a long time,” Riley adds, “so it was cool to get the text from her about this song. The harmonies were unique and there was something really different about it. I’m glad she thought of me for this song, it’s awesome to get to do something together.”

“If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” is the third track to be released from Carly’s upcoming fifth studio album, following “Church Girl” and “Dream Come True.”

Former Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg has released a new solo song called “Drone Operator.”

The track features NOWHERE2RUN, made up of Code Orange members Jami Morgan and Eric Balderose.

“It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience, collaborating with my brothers [Morgan] and [Balderose] on this cathartic piece of music,” Weinberg writes in an Instagram post.

The “Drone Operator” video is now streaming on YouTube.

“Drone Operator” marks Weinberg’s second solo track, following 2025’s “Sandstone,” featuring George Clarke of Deafheaven.

Weinberg, the son of E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg, played in Slipknot for nearly a decade before being let go from the band in 2023. His other post-Knot endeavors have included touring with Suicidal Tendencies.
