'Bring Me to Life,' which features vocals from Paul McCoy, was first heard in the third episode of the Nathan Fielder-led docu-comedy series' second season, which premiered May 4; it returned on the season finale (May 25). The context of the song's synch: Fielder posits that pilot Sully Sullenberger could have been listening to the track, No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2003, while he landed a plane in the Hudson River (the Miracle on the Hudson) in 2009.
In May 2025, 'Bring Me to Life' earned 22.1 million official on-demand U.S. streams and sold 3,000 downloads, according to Luminate. It returned to Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart twice, paced by an appearance at No. 6 on the May 17-dated ranking.
'Bring Me to Life' reigns on Top TV Songs over Stevie Nicks' 'Edge of Seventeen,' which enters at No. 2 after a synch in Will Trent that aired May 13. It was heard in the final episode of the third season of the ABC drama (with a fourth on the way, as it was renewed in April).
One of Nicks' definitive solo tunes, 'Edge of Seventeen,' which peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100 in 1982, earned 10.5 million streams and 2,000 downloads in May 2025.
The latest Top TV Songs also features three songs each from the premiere seasons of Netflix's Sirens and Amazon Prime Video's The Better Sister. Sirens leads the pair thanks to the No. 3 rank of Blue Swede's 'Hooked On a Feeling' from its fifth episode (8.7 million streams, 1,000 downloads), followed by The Rolling Stones' 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' from The Better Sister at No. 5 (4.6 million streams, 1,000 downloads).

Music Review: The Black Keys' 'No Rain, No Flowers' puts a feel-good spin on a turbulent year
NEW YORK (AP) — The Ohio alt-rock band the Black Keys are finding their way home on their 13th full-length LP, 'No Rain, No Flowers.' The journey hasn't been easy. Last year, the Grammy-winning duo underwent a fiery, public split with their management after their arena tour was unceremoniously canceled. But on 'No Rain, No Flowers,' guitarist and vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Pat Carney put a feel-good spin on their recent career turbulence. The album pulls the raw blues, psychedelia, garage rock and roots music of their 23-year discography into a single package. Discerning fans won't have to look hard for nods to their rough 2024. The opening track begins with a synthesizer-infused post-punk riff that leaves a sense of both inner peace and simmering resentment. After warning 'There's evil people in this world / Live long enough and you will be burned,' Auerbach's easygoing voice assures that 'Baby, the damage is done / It won't be long 'til we're back in the sun.' Their fourth album in five years marks a return to the prolific pace they maintained early on in their career. Underdogs no more, the critically acclaimed duo's tenure shows itself on this album, in a mix of trusted creative partners and long-admired new collaborators. And perhaps truer to their name, this iteration of the Black Keys includes a lot more piano. The band says they've never worked with someone who writes on the piano like Rick Nowels, who appeared on Lana Del Rey 's Auerbach-produced album 'Ultraviolence.' Hip-hop producer Scott Storch plays keyboard on the groovy 'Babygirl,' which is part-power pop, part-Rolling Stones with its sharp rhythmic piano and lyrical self-assertiveness. He's also on 'Make You Mine,' where Auerbach's upper register and a string section push the band as close to Bee Gees' disco as they'll get. But they're at their best with moody, trance-inducing tracks like 'Down to Nothing,' where Auerbach's guitar elicits the feeling of yearning that's remained a constant throughout their catalog. The album leaves listeners with the twangy tones and folksier sounds of Nashville — where many of its contributors work and where Auerbach launched his Easy Eye Sound record label eight years ago. Music City songwriter Pat McLaughlin brings the same Americana sound of Auerbach's 2017 solo album to the penultimate track 'A Little Too High,' an upbeat stomper that evokes The Eagles. Electronic backing vocals imbue the closer, 'Neon Moon,' with the same supernatural undercurrent as Kacey Musgraves' 2018 'Golden Hour' — both of which credit songwriter Daniel Tashian. Its natural imagery, however, is less complex. 'You can find it in the southern sky,' Auerbach sings, 'By the light of the neon moon.' 'Take me home / Back to you,' the chorus repeats. 'Take me home / Neon moon.' The Black Keys aren't quite home with this one. But they're certainly following the light.

How the Micah Parsons dispute embroiled Jerry Jones, Dez Bryant, Jay-Z, and Nicki Minaj
Entering the final year of his rookie deal, star pass rusher Micah Parsons is looking for a lucrative contract extension from the Dallas Cowboys. Months of back and forth reached a boiling point on Friday, when Parsons posted a letter requesting a trade and explaining why his frustrations ultimately led him to 'no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys.' Advertisement And that, in turn, led to a weekend of responses, including a wild thread involving Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, entertainment mogul Jay-Z, 'Queen of Rap' Nicki Minaj, and former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant. As strange as it sounds, those characters were all joined together by the contract standoff between Parsons and the Cowboys. About 24 hours after Parsons made his public trade request, Jones spoke to reporters at Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, Calif. One of the key issues in the standoff between the Cowboys and Parsons has been the reluctance of Jones, the team's general manager, to speak with Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta. On Saturday, Jones was asked why he doesn't get involved with the agent, which led the owner to reflect on a different negotiation from a decade ago. 'When we have a problem within the team and a player, I don't ever find the agent. He's nowhere to be found,' Jones said. 'Jay-Z said that Dez (Bryant) would make all meetings. Jay-Z and I negotiated the contract. We spent hours negotiating the contract. (Jay-Z) said, 'Anybody in my organization is on time.' He said, 'My office used to be on the street corner, and I've always been early. So, they will be on time.' I said, 'Where do I sign?' But I'm going to call you. He finally quit taking my call.' If that sounds familiar, it's because Jones told the story a little over three months ago at The Star in Frisco, Texas, days before the NFL Draft. At that time, Jones offered the anecdote unprompted, adding on to a question that was asked to Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones about the nature of negotiations. Jones' story got lost in the shuffle of that hour-long press conference focused on the draft. On Saturday, though, his comments caught the attention of Bryant, who took to X to respond, warning Jones that it wasn't smart to mention his name and that Bryant 'kept quiet' about a lot of 'unfair' things. Advertisement The next morning, Roc Nation Sports issued a statement, saying that 'the claim that (Jay-Z) or Roc Nation representatives did not return a call from Jerry Jones is not only a false statement, but it's also a comical one.' Later Sunday, Minaj posted a gif of herself walking down a hallway with the caption, 'I hope Jerry Jones is having a great day.' An hour and a half later, Minaj quote-tweeted Bryant's post about Jones from the day before. 'How about we play a game?' Minaj wrote. 'Every time you do a 'Jerry Jones' or 'NFL' story time, I'll do a 'story time' of my own.' Bryant quote-tweeted Minaj with the eyeball emoji and a gif, reading, 'I want to play a game.' Minaj then quote-tweeted Bryant with another gif, referencing her contentious history with Jay-Z, Roc Nation and its CEO, Desiree Perez. For context, Minaj has been vocal about her issues with Roc Nation. On July 8, she posted the same gif of her walking down a hallway, while claiming that Jay-Z owes her up to $200 million. That claim centers on her equity in Tidal, Jay-Z's music streaming service, which was sold in 2021. Bryant ultimately gathered that he was caught in a dispute between Minaj and Roc Nation that went beyond himself. He quote-tweeted Minaj's post with a video, saying, 'Look, Ms. Nicki. Leave me out of it. I don't want no problems. I'm a huge fan. I hope you're having a great day.' It was too late for Bryant, though. Minaj responded with a post that began with, 'It's Mrs. Petty' and ended with 'See the problem with ppl who are always playing, is that they think everyone else is playing, too. I'd mind my business if I were you. Be blessed.' Bryant tried to disengage, but things escalated from there, with Minaj referencing a 2012 news story when Bryant was arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother; Bryant defending himself and referring to Minaj's husband's past guilty plea for attempted rape; Minaj offering Bryant $10 million to fight her husband; and Bryant saying he would 'stomp' her husband before reiterating his allegiance to Roc Nation. There were a number of feuds crossing over — Bryant vs. Jones, Minaj vs. Roc Nation, and now Bryant vs. Minaj. And at the root of it all was the Cowboys' inability to sign a star pass rusher to a contract extension.
