Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn’t made a comeback. That doesn’t mean everybody is listening to just their parents’ old music, though. That’s part of it, sure, thanks to rereleases that present classic albums in new ways. A vital part of the renewed vinyl wave, though, is new projects being released as records, of which there are plenty.
Whatever you might be into, each month brings a new slew of vinyl releases that has something for everybody. Some stand out above the rest, naturally, so check out some of our favorite vinyl releases of June below.
My Chemical Romance — Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge (Deluxe Edition)
My Chemical Romance
“I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” and “Helena” were huge breakout singles for MCR, and they both come from Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. The project turns 21 this year and the band is celebrating with a new deluxe edition that comes with bonus live versions, all available on multiple vinyl variations.
There’s not really another band quite like The B-52s, and their discography is a must-have for any vinyl collection. This new set is the perfect entry point, as it includes their first six albums, all of their original run from 1979 to 1992, all of which have been newly remastered for this special release.
Figure 8 has became an iconic part of the late Elliott Smith’s legacy, and this vinyl pressing might be the best-ever version of it. It’s a vinyl version of a deluxe edition that was previously digital-only, and it includes every B-side and previously released solo acoustic and alternate version, not to mention three perfect white/red/black LPs.
Robin Trower — For Earth Below (50th Anniversary Edition)
Chrysalis Records
It’s been 50 years since For Earth Below, Robin Trower Band’s first top-5 album in the US, was released. The group is commemmorating the occasion with a new deluxe edition, which is newly remastered and comes with fresh liner notes, including an interview with Trower himself.
Load was a major pivot for Metallica, a shift that paid off as it was another No. 1 album for the group. Now the project has been freshly remastered, but not just that, as included in this massive new set are previously unreleased demos, rough mixes, and plenty more.
Times have been tough for vinyl-collecting Kodak fans, as the rapper doesn’t have a rich history with the medium. Thanks to The Collection, though, a number of his hits are available on vinyl for the first time via this release, which features everything from “Roll In Peace” to “Codeine Dreaming.”
Stevie Nicks’ Bella Donna (Reissue) and Wilco’s A.M. (Reissue)
Rhino
The Rhino High Fidelity reissues series pulls the best from Warner’s esteemed catalog, and the latest albums to get this special treatment are Stevie Nicks’ Bella Donna and Wilco’s A.M. They’re both limited to 5,000 numbered copies, have been newly mastered, and come with fresh liner notes.
Stone Temple Pilots — Tiny Music… Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop (Reissue)
MoFi
Tiny Music is a key part of Stone Temple Pilots’ prosperous ’90s run, and now it’s gotten perhaps its best vinyl pressing ever. Here, it’s available in audiophile sound for the first time, sourced from the original analogue tapes, making this the release for both STP obsessives and those looking to get into the album for the first time.
Clueless is an enduring time capsule of its era, and so too is its soundtrack. The OST, featuring everybody from Radiohead to Beastie Boys to Coolio, is available in a new vinyl pressing, in either classic black or a perfectly on-brand pink. Celebrate the film’s 30th anniversary by adding this great album to your collection.
Jaws (Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Reissue)
UMe
Is there a more iconic movie soundtrack moment than the repeated “dun-dun” from Jaws? It’d certainly be hard to pick one, but either way, John Williams’ legendary score is available now in two fantastic vinyl editions, one that looks like blood in water and another that’s actually filled with liquid.
Few bands have ever come out of the gate harder than did New York Dolls on their self-titled debut in 1973. Now, MoFi has given it the high-fidelity vinyl release it deserves, sourced from the original master tapes to highlight Todd Rundgren’s production.
The Weeknd isn’t a streaming music star. Well, he is, often duking it out to be the top of the Spotify’s monthly play charts and holding both the most streamed song on the platform (“Blinding Lights” is about to cross 5 billion streams, with “Starboy” holding strong as the third-biggest song ever streamed). But to classify The Weeknd as just that discounts so much of what makes him a legitimate answer for the biggest pop star in the world.
The Weeknd has been a critical darling, starting out as a well-reviewed R&B enigma with his initial mixtape trilogy of House Of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes Of Silence, and regaining such esteem with some of his recent big-tent offerings like After Hours and Dawn FM. He’s a multidiscipline creator, spreading his wings in the realms of television (The Idol) and film (Hurry Up Tomorrow). And, he’s a live-music force, selling out stadiums and becoming a Coachella fixture who can even step in a replacement headliner when all else fails.
His run at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles last week saw a staggering four sold-out nights, a record for a male artist at the stadium. And it was a performance that highlighted all the aspects of The Weeknd’s success, full of the biggest hits of the last decade, beautiful creative direction that filled the massive space, and even nods to his visual work.
Philip Cosores
We can start on the last part first, as before the set even started, The Weeknd displayed a trailer for the recently released film Hurry Up Tomorrow, a movie that failed to ignite both critics and audiences during its theatrical run, but could still make an impact in the VOD and streaming markets. It’s easy to take shots at both his recent film and TV offerings as acts of hubris, but they have aligned him with some pretty cool company (Jenna Ortega, Barry Keohgan, Lily-Rose Depp, Jennie, Moses Sumney, Troye Sivan, and many more) and, maybe more importantly, find the artist betting on himself and his vision to tell stories through mediums he clearly is passionate about and believes in. Just because he hasn’t found success yet (and, to be fair, everyone from Beyoncé to Taylor Swift has equally spotty film and TV output), there’s a bravery to trying things at risk of embarrassment. And, that translates to his music, as well.
Visually, the creative around the performance was as adventurous as his film and TV work, full of off-kilter, red-cloaked dancers, a giant glowing-eyed statue reminiscent of the local Americana mall, a destroyed cityscape set, and enough fire to raise the stadium’s temperature to sweat-inducing levels. It worked both for the direct line of sight and the video projections, with marks carefully chosen to serve both the audience directly in front of the singer, and the audience in the rafters watching on the massive screens. My favorite was when he’d reach the end of his catwalks (which formed a cross in the center of the stadium floor) and he would perform straight into the camera, accentuating the ringed-design of the stage behind him while the giant statue would rotate. It was all quite beautiful and thoughtful, the kind of thing that would only be thought of if the performer had a firm grasp on visual mediums.
Philip Cosores
And, there is of course the music. Sure, his songs do numbers. But witnessing how tunes both old (“Often) and new (“Timeless” with a Playboi Carti appearance) went over and caused deafening responses accentuated the real-world impact of his music. It’s one thing to get the butts into seats (or, in this case, never once actually using said seats), but it’s another thing to drive such a massive, visceral reaction to an audience that spanned children with their parents to 30-year-olds on dates. And The Weeknd didn’t shy away from the support, frequently commenting on the enthusiasm and egging the audience on to get louder.
It all adds up to find The Weeknd as an artist not shying away from the moment and any of the cringeyness that might come with embracing his massive stature. Sure, he started the performance in a mask with creepy, glowing eyes — something some other artists have done when reacting to their own stature — but he quickly removed it and proved ready for the moment. For an artist that often teases retiring his recording persona, it’s clear that he can make all the elements of his success work for a complete vision. The Weeknd isn’t afraid to be the world’s biggest pop star, and he doesn’t need to sacrifice his mercurial artistry in order to achieve it.

Keeping up with new music can be exhausting, even impossible. From the weekly album releases to standalone singles dropping on a daily basis, the amount of music is so vast it’s easy for something to slip through the cracks. Even following along with the Uproxx recommendations on a daily basis can be a lot to ask, so every Monday we’re offering up this rundown of the best new music this week.
This week saw Lorde’s Virgin era reach fruition and Teddy Swims bring I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy to a natural conclusion. Yeah, it was a great week for new music. Check out the highlights below.
Lorde’s new album Virgin is here at last. At just over a half hour, it’s a relatively short LP, but she gave the project a massive introduction this past weekend, when she performed it in full at a surprise Glastonbury set.
Don Toliver — “FWU”
A couple weeks back, Toliver celebrated his birthday by previewing a new song. The full track is here now and it’s a Mustard-produced banger.
Teddy Swims — “Need You More”
Teddy Swims seems ready to leave the I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy era behind, but he’s not leaving without one last hurrah: Last week, he unveiled I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition), which comes with six new songs, on top of the tracks from the Part 1 and Part 2 albums.
You won’t catch Rapp playing Elsa in a live-action Frozen movie, but she’s more than happy to keep promoting her upcoming album Bite Me. The latest offering is “Mad,” a fun anthem chastising somebody who fumbled the bag with her.
Jessie Murph — “Heroin”
Murph is putting her own spin on country music and she’s done it again with “Heroin.” On the stirring Sex Hysteria ballad, she sings, “You kill me slow, I get you through / Like heroin, I’ll always come back to you.”
Lizzo — “IRL” Feat. SZA
Lizzo and SZA have been pals for over a decade now, so it makes sense that they’d link up on Lizzo’s new mixtape, My Face Hurts From Smiling. SZA hops on “IRL,” which sees Lizzo leaning into her rapper mode while SZA offers a smooth verse.
A few years ago, Polachek started work on a song that didn’t end up being quite right at the time. The track’s fortunes have changed, though, as she showed it to Hideo Kojima and after some work, it is now the title track of his latest game, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.
Ivy Boy — “Honeybee”
Perry Eaton, a familiar face in the Boston music scene, is onto something new: solo music as Ivy Boy. He launched the endeavor earlier this year and his latest single is “Honeybee,” a bright folky number that should soundtrack every sunny afternoon this summer.
Finally, after years, BTS members are wrapping up their mandatory South Korean military service. Furthermore, it has been reported that the group is eyeing a March 2026 comeback. None of that is officially set in stone yet, but what is confirmed is that BTS is about to release a new live album: Permission To Dance On Stage – Live.
Pre-orders are set to open on July 1, and the project will then be released on July 18.
Additionally, the group is also releasing exclusive digital content via a Weverse digital code, including videos from the group’s Seoul shows in March 2022, as well as “a 92-page interview photobook offering behind-the-scenes moments from the concert.”
The tracklist for the live album hasn’t been revealed yet, but we do know that it’ll feature 22 tracks, including “Dynamite,” “Butter,” “Life Goes On,” “Boy With Luv” featuring Halsey, and “On.” For an idea of what the full tracklist might look like, check out the setlist from the tour-closing April 16, 2022 show in Las Vegas (via setlist.fm) below.
The countdown to the Clipse comeback album, Let God Sort Em Out, continues, and the next nugget to be revealed from the long-awaited project is the tracklist. The Thornton boys shared the song titles and features on Spotify’s Countdown To, revealing that John Legend, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Tyler The Creator, and more will be featured on their first album together in over 15 years. All the tracks are produced by Pharrell, who will also contribute “a few verses.”
The album’s rollout has been one for the books, unofficially beginning back in 2022, with the duo’s reunion at Pharrell’s Something In The Water Festival and BET Hip-Hop Awards performance that year. Last year, they began teasing the project’s existence in a June interview with Vulture, and started pushing (heh) the album in earnest in July, revealing its title on Pusha’s Instagram. This May, they released the first single, “Ace Trumpets,” along with the release date, following up with the video for “So Be It” earlier this month.
They also delivered a tense performance on Colors, and shared the dates for the album’s upcoming tour. You can see the tracklist below.
Let God Sort Em Out is due 7/11 via Roc Nation. You can find more info here.

Beyoncé has earned a reputation for her supreme professionalism, but that doesn’t make her immune from rare performance mishaps — at least, not on her end. On her 2023 Renaissance Tour, she was saved from a potential wardrobe malfunction by her dancers, Les Twins.
Meanwhile, her ongoing Cowboy Carter Tour had a mechanical malfunction on Saturday night at her hometown show in Houston. While performing “16 Carriages” from a car suspended in the air over the stage, the car listed to one side and stopped moving, prompting the star to halt the show while she was lowered back to the stage. And while she joked about the incident later on Instagram (“Sittin’ sidewayz” is an all-timer of a caption), there’s no doubt the moment was a little scary for those in attendance, if not for Bey herself. As she reached solid ground again, she told the crowd, “I want to thank y’all for loving me. If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me.”
Parkwood Entertainment released a statement after the show reading, “A technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyonce uses to circle the stadium and see her fans up close, to tilt. She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.”
Prior to that, though, the tour had been running smoothly. In May, it was reported that the Cowboy Carter Tour had already set a record highest-grossing reported single-venue engagement ever by a woman for its show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles (which was attended and recapped by Uproxx’s own Philip Cosores. You can read his report here). Later that month, Beyoncé helped a couple do a baby sex reveal.
You can see video of Beyoncé prop car stalling out in the air here.
Introducing Smith, Rodrigosaid, “I’m so wildly excited about this next guest, I can’t even contain it. He is perhaps the best songwriter to come out of England, he is a Glastonbury legend and a personal hero of mine. Would you please welcome… Robert Smith!”
They then performed “Friday I’m In Love” and “Just Like Heaven” together (here are some videos).
In a 2023 interview, Rodrigo said of The Cure, “I’m going to see them in two weeks with my dad. He’s introducing me to all the bands he went to see when he was my age.”
Check out Rodrigo’s full setlist below (via setlist.fm).

Charli XCX was one of the big highlights of the Glastonbury festival this past weekend. Given that Charli is a major pop star and the world is how it is, though, she had faced some criticism for her performance, which doesn’t seem to be bringing her down.
Yesterday (June 29), she tweeted, “really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on glastonbury performance. it’s super fascinating to me.”
“like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a ‘real artist’ is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx.”
She continued:
“but to be honest… i enjoy the discourse. imo the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable.”
Check out Charli’s setlist below.
