It seems that Blur and Gorillaz’s Damon Albarn has some money coming his way: Back in 2023, he said of Oasis, “I can guarantee they’re going to reform, in fact, I’ve put money on it. They’re brothers and it would be wonderful to see them reconcile.”

Albarn hasn’t forgotten about his prescience about the now-ongoing Oasis reunion tour: In a recent interview with Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, he said (roughly translated from Italian), “The Oasis reunion? Two years ago, I was prophetic when I said it would happen and that the path was clear.”

He added, “Well, you can’t really believe that two brothers won’t eventually make peace. From my perspective, that’s a positive thing.”

When asked if he plans to make it out to a UK reunion show himself, he said with a laugh, “No, I’m literally too busy.”

Albarn is currently in the midst of some tour dates with Africa Express until July 11, while Oasis’ UK dates run from that day to August 12.

Syd has been busy, but it’s been a while since we’ve had new solo music from her. It’s been three years, actually, but that changes with today’s (July 7) release of a new single, “Die For This.” The track initially premiere today on BBC Radio 1’s New Music Show as the “Hottest Record In The World.”

A press release notes Syd shared the song because she “wanted to just give a peek into her process.”

There’s no news of a new album yet, but if one is on the way, it’d be Syd’s first since 2022’s Broken Hearts Club. Last year, though, her band The Internet indicated they were working on new music.

Listen to “Die For This” above. Syd also has upcoming tour dates supporting Billie Eilish and Reneé Rapp, so find those below.

This past weekend was incredibly packed in terms of live music. Oasis finally reunited. So did Blackpink, and so did Black Sabbath. Amid all that, Lana Del Rey had a couple shows at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium, too, on July 3 and 4.

On both nights, Del Rey tapped Addison Rae as her opener, and also on both nights, Rae joined Del Rey during the main set. During both performances, they sang Rae’s “Diet Pepsi” (here’s a video) followed by Del Rey’s “57.5” (here’s a video). As Stereogum notes, this was Rae’s first-ever stadium performance.

Meanwhile, during Rae’s first opening set on the 3rd (as setlist.fm notes), Rae performed seven songs, including the live debuts of “Money Is Everything” and “Summer Forever.”

Check out Del Rey’s setlist from the first night (via setlist.fm) below.

Lana Del Rey’s Wembley Stadium Setlist

1. “Stars Fell On Alabama”
2. “Henry, Come On”
3. “Stand By Your Man”
4. “Chemtrails Over The Country Club”
5. “Ultraviolence”
6. “Ride”
7. “Video Games”

15. “57.5” (with Addison Rae)
16. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” (John Denver cover)

For years, it seemed like it would never happen. Then, this past weekend, it finally did: Oasis reunited. For two nights in Cardiff, Wales this past weekend, the band kicked off their long-awaited comeback tour. As for who is responsible for this whole stunning ordeal, Noel Gallagher has seemingly identified the driving force.

As NME notes, at the second show, there was a section where Noel introduced the band members, and while introducing guitarist Paul Arthurs (also known as Bonehead), he said, “On guitar, if it wasn’t for him, none of this would have happened.”

Some have interpreted this as Gallagher crediting Bonehead as the reason for the reunion, but he could also have been referring to the fact that Bonehead was a founding member of the band, and that if he hadn’t helped bring the group to life, Oasis wouldn’t have existed at all.

Find some clips from the first show here and check out the full setlist below, along with Oasis’ upcoming tour dates.

We live in the Dot era. After demolishing rap rival Drake last year, Kendrick Lamar’s victory lap has dominated 2025 and the current hip-hop landscape. Super Bowl performance. More Grammy wins. “Not Like Us” still in rotation. “Luther” reigning for 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Record-breaking stadium status tour with SZA still going strong.

But despite Mr. Duckworth’s dominance, there’s some other rap music from the past six months that you must get familiar with. And who better to help guide you than hip-hop’s greatest journalist? These picks ain’t just personal: I truly take into account my unbiased view on how these tunes have impacted hip-hop culture.

Spoiler alert: All hail what Pharrell and the garcons cooked up in Paris. Yup, rap vets still rule. Pardon me, youth. Y’all day will come.

Songs

10. Wale — “Blanco”

Folarin drinks away the pain on this slow-winding, self-reflective requiem.

9. Young Thug — “Money On Money” Feat. Future

Thugger’s triumphant return is a rattling rollercoaster ride alongside his ATL partner, Pluto.

8. Lil Baby — “Dum, Dumb, And Dumber” Feat. Young Thug and Future

This trap-rap triumvirate cut through the competition and displayed their captivating chemistry.

7. Playboi Carti and The Weeknd — “Rather Lie”

Truth is this song should be Carti’s biggest hit. Rap radio, please respond ASAP.

6. Lil Tecca — “Dark Thoughts”

You can’t knock this New York hitmaker’s hustle. Make some room on the dance floor.

5. Doechii — “Anxiety”

The Swamp Princess took one of her old viral hits and made it better. Fresh for ’25.

4. Rob49 — “WTHELLY”

The slang anthem of the year. Word to me. WTHELLIOTT.

3. Joey Badass — “The Ruler’s Back”

Jo-Vaughn spent New Year’s Day challenging his fellow MCs from coast to coast. Boy, did they respond.

2. Drake — “What Did I Miss?”

Drizzy begins his comeback season with his best post-battle song. Let’s go!

1. Clipse — “Ace Trumpets”

The brothers Thornton deliver luxury rap that you can’t afford to ignore.

Albums

10. Slick Rick — Victory

Hip-hop history’s most acclaimed storyteller simply proves that age ain’t nothing but a number on this sharp resurgence.

9. Ray Vaughn — The Good The Bad The Dollar Menu

The young MC of TDE delivers his outstanding origin story that leaves you with the hunger for more.

8. Saba & No I.D. — From The Private Collection Of Saba & No I.D.

The Pivot poet connected with fellow Chicagoan and legendary producer Dion to form a dynamic duo and they quickly flourished here. Cheers to more public consumption.

7. Central Cee — Can’t Rush Greatness

It ain’t easy for British rap to break through in America, but Cench is making it look easy. Language barriers aside, this dynamic debut album deserves many listens.

6. Lil Baby — WHAM

He was untouchable in 2020 with My Turn, stumbled a bit in 2022 with It’s Only Me, and despite the mixed and negative reviews, I’m digging Dominique Jones’ fourth studio album, WHAM. Stop sleeping!

5. PartyNextDoor & Drake — Some Sexy Songs 4 U

Fresh off his rap battle defeat, Aubrey Graham switched up the program and leaned heavy in his singing bag. It’s surprising how much he has to carry the load here. Sorry, Party.

4. Key Glock — Glockaveli

Memphis’ finest MC continues to honor his mentor, Young Dolph, with his stellar consistency. Not Pac-level, but still pretty good.

3. Larry June, 2 Chainz, & The Alchemist — Life Is Beautiful

A hip-hop odd squad contrive a lil yacht rap for your listening pleasure. Pass the white wine.

2. Playboi Carti — Music

Evil Jordan brings his cult crowd to the mainstream on this rage-rap masterwork.

1. Clipse — Let God Sort Em Out

Pusha T has had the same marketing plan for all his projects: “I just made the rap album of the year.” In partnership with his brother Malice, Terrence has done it again. Deeper than coke raps.

The Oasis reunion wasn’t the only big comeback of this past weekend: Blackpink also played their first concerts in nearly two years, at Seoul, South Korea’s Goyang Stadium to kick off the Deadline World Tour.

At the opening show on July 5 (as setlist.fm notes), aside from performing their own songs, there were also chunks of the set devoted to solo tunes from all four members: Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé, meaning fans got the latter’s recent hit “APT.”

Check out the setlist below, followed by Blackpink’s upcoming tour dates.

Finally, it happened: This past weekend, Oasis kicked off their anticipated reunion tour. For months, there has been speculation about what the setlist would look like, and Liam Gallagher even weighed in on some of the chatter. Now, though, there’s no more need for guessing.

Oasis played two shows in Cardiff, Wales over the weekend and they had identical setlists (per setlist.fm). Both shows opened with “Hello” and wrapped with the one-two-three punch of “Don’t Look Back In Anger,” “Wonderwall,” and “Champagne Supernova.”

Check out some clips from opening night here and find the full setlist below, followed by Oasis’ upcoming tour dates.

Apple Music launched almost exactly ten years ago now, and in the decade since, it has become a culture-defining streaming platform. Users have logged billions of plays over the years, and now Apple Music has celebrated that by sharing the list of the service’s 500 most-streamed songs ever. They’ve been rolling out the list gradually over the past few days, but now the whole thing is here.

Congratulations are in order for Ed Sheeran, as his “Shape Of You” was the most-played song globally during the first decade of Apple Music. The Weeknd is No. 2 with “Blinding Lights,” and he’s also the artist with the most R&B/soul songs on the chart, with nine of them. Drake is No. 3 with “God’s Plan,” and he has more songs in the top 500 than any other artist thanks to his 27 entries. (“One Dance” is another of his that made the top 10, at No. 7.)

Taylor Swift is also heavily represented, coming in right behind Drake with 14 total songs on the list. Billie Eilish leads the charge for Alternative songs, with nine on the list, and “Bad Guy” is the top-streamed song in the genre (it’s also No. 10 on the overall list and is the most-streamed song by a female-identifying artist).

As for country music, Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” is in the lead there, while Morgan Wallen has the most total country songs on the chart with nine. Finally, among Latin artists, Bad Bunny has more songs on the list than anybody else, with 10.

Check out the full playlist here or below.

Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne have had quite the pivot. In Neighbors and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, they were husband and wife. In the first season of their Apple TV+ series Platonic, they’re former best friends who are, well, platonic and that’s that. The debut season was a winner in 2023 (the 93-percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes is pretty great), faring well enough to land the show a second run.

The new season, from co-creators Nick Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, lands on Apple TV+ soon, so before that, check out everything you need to know about the upcoming episodes.

Plot

Apple previously noted of the first season, “Platonic follows a platonic pair of former best friends approaching midlife who reconnect after a long rift. The duo’s friendship becomes all consuming — and destabilizes their lives in a hilarious way.” Of the new season, they say it “picks up with everyone’s favorite pair of best friends as they contend with new midlife hurdles, including work, weddings and partners in crises. The duo tries their best to be each other’s rock — but sometimes rocks break things.”

They’re not getting together this time, either, as Stoller and Delbanco told The Hollywood Reporter.

Rogen previously told the publication of making the second season:

“Honestly, we had talked about it during the first season, but I get really nervous about how it’s going to be received. I’m not a count-your-eggs-before-they-hatch guy. I’ve done that thing where I drive around Friday night of opening weekend for my movies and go to the theaters and there’s no one in them. I really just wanted to see if we were happy with it when it came out — and if everyone else was happy with it. I was kind of nervous about how high my standards were for what we were doing, and I wanted to make sure that we could actually do it. And then once I saw that we could, I was like, ‘OK, we should keep doing it.’”

Cast

Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen will return, and also present will be Carla Gallo, Luke Macfarlane, Tre Hale, and Andrew Lopez.

New to the cast for the second season are Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennett (all Saturday Night Live mainstays in the 2010s).

Release Date

The new season is set to premiere on August 6 on Apple TV+.

Trailer

Check out the Platonic season 2 teaser below.

Steven and Ian open with a quick conversation about fireworks and fireworks-adjacent emo music. Then they dive into the outcry from Lorde fans about the faulty “transparent” CD edition of her latest album, Virgin. Steven is excited to see CD discourse go mainstream, though he worries that this bad publicity might turn people off to the format.

After that, they discuss the AI band The Velvet Sundown, which has already racked up 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify in just a few weeks. They also talk about the recent Glastonbury Festival and speculate on why European music festivals look so much more fun than American ones. Finally, they do the Q3 Fantasy Albums Draft, and talk about some of the most anticipated releases of the next three months.
