Lonely Island Mounts A Surprise Comeback On The Charts
The Lonely Island was never supposed to become a bona fide music success story. The comedy trio first found an audience on Saturday Night Live, where the group's digital shorts turned sketch comedy into a viral phenomenon. What started as a series of quick-hit parodies soon evolved into a surprisingly fruitful musical career, complete with hit singles, bestselling albums, and even a big-screen soundtrack.
This week, two of The Lonely Island's most popular projects reappear on Billboard's Comedy Albums chart — and they manage to do so at the same time, sitting right next to each other.
Two Albums Return Side-by-Side
On the latest edition of the Comedy Albums list, Turtleneck & Chain reenters at No. 9. Just behind it, Incredibad comes back at No. 10. It's not every week that an act sends a pair of different collections back to that ranking – or any Billboard roster – simultaneously, let alone in adjacent spots.
Hundreds of Weeks on the Chart
Turtleneck & Chain has now spent 226 weeks on the chart throughout its lifetime. Incredibad is more than a year behind, as it has thus far racked up 156 weeks on the tally.
A Streak of Chart-Topping Success
The Lonely Island has released three proper studio albums over the years — Incredibad, Turtleneck & Chain, and The Wack Album. All three climbed to No. 1 on the Comedy Albums chart.
Beyond those core releases, the trio also issued a soundtrack for the feature film Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, as well as a similar effort in The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience. Both of those titles also spent time at No. 1 on the Comedy Albums chart.
The Only Act with Several Current Hits
The Lonely Island is the only name on the Comedy Albums chart this week that manages to appear more than once. Last frame, that honor belonged to Monty Python, though at the moment, only Monty Python and the Holy Grail: The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail – yes, that's the full name – still lives on. At the moment, that set climbs a single spot to No. 6.

'Supergirl' 2026: Everything we know about the DCU's take on the Girl of Steel
Supergirl focuses on the titular superhero's journey as she teams up with a young warrior on a mission for revenge. House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock leads the cast, joined by Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, and Jason Momoa. Supergirl is currently slated to debut in theaters on June 26, This article contains spoilers for (2025) The all-new DC Universe (DCU) is flying high thanks to the wildly entertaining animated series Creature Commandos and, of course, James Gunn's long-awaited take on Superman. Against all odds (and plenty of pressure), the latter has already delivered in a big way, earning solid reviews from many critics and fans. While we at Entertainment Weekly found the script lacking, we nevertheless praised the flick for restoring "light, humor, and romance to the DC universe." Before long, it'll be Supergirl's turn to take flight. Milly Alcock debuted as the Girl of Steel in the new film, swooping in to scoop up her dog, Krypto, and demonstrating a palpable disinterest in her super-powered cousin, Superman (David Corenswet). It was a brief appearance, but enough to send fan hype into orbit. With her solo film on the horizon, here's everything we know about Supergirl, from its release date and cast to plot details and beyond. The upcoming Supergirl film is based on the eight-issue comic book miniseries Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, created by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. It follows a lost and wandering Kara Zor-El (a.k.a. Supergirl) at a crossroads. She feels her life lacks purpose, especially since her baby cousin, Kal-El (Clark Kent/Superman), doesn't need her protection and is thriving on his own. Just as she's ready to give up, a young and noble galactic warrior named Ruthye Marye Knoll seeks her help in tracking down those responsible for killing her father and destroying her home. "She wants revenge, and if Supergirl doesn't help her, she'll do it herself, whatever the cost," reads the comic's official synopsis. "Now a Kryptonian, a dog, and an angry, heartbroken child head out into space on a journey that will shake them to their very core." In January 2023, DC Studios co-CEO Gunn shared (via The Hollywood Reporter) that this version of Supergirl is darker and more complex. "We will see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl, raised on a rock, a chip off of Krypton, and who watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life and then come to Earth," he said, adding, "She is much more hardcore and not the Supergirl we're used to." Supergirl soars into theaters on June 26, 2026, a little less than a year following Superman's theatrical release. House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock will step into the boots of the title character in Supergirl. After her casting was announced, Gunn shared on Threads that Alcock perfectly captured the vision of the character as imagined by King, Evely, and screenwriter Ana Nogueira. In a separate post, Gunn said he recommended her for the role to DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran over a year before her official casting, writing that he believed she could bring the "edge, grace, and authenticity" needed for this version of Supergirl. Alcock has kept details about the film and her role under wraps, joking that she "doesn't want to get sued." But in a May interview with Elle Australia, she admitted feeling "absolute fear" when Gunn told her she'd landed the part. "I was kind of in disbelief. I was initially like, 'What have I done?'" she told the outlet before describing the screen test process, which was new territory for her. "During a screen test, you're in a room with all the other women [vying for the same part] and you're all dressed as the character," she explained. "[The studio] will get you lined up in the makeup truck and put the same makeup on you all and then test you on a stage. For Supergirl, it was myself and another girl. It was really scary; I thought I was going to vomit! But it's just fear! That's what happens! This job has been a journey of overcoming my own fear." The Supergirl cast also features Eve Ridley (3 Body Problem) as Ruthye Marye Knoll and Matthias Schoenaerts (The Old Guard) as the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills. In January 2025, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that David Krumholtz (Oppenheimer) and Emily Beecham (Into the Badlands) costar as Supergirl's parents, Zor-El and Alura In-Ze, respectively. Jason Momoa is set to make a cameo as Lobo, the alien mercenary and bounty hunter from the planet Czarnia. In a 2023 interview with Fandango, Momoa revealed that Lobo has always been his favorite character, saying he "always wanted to play Lobo because I'm like, 'Hello? It's the perfect role.'" He added that if DC ever called him to play Lobo, he would jump at the chance — and now, he finally is. Momoa reiterated his love for the character in a March interview with EW: "I just think I'm the right person to play the role." He continued, "If we're going to typecast me in anything, let's put me in Lobo. Motorcycles, smoking cigars, partying, dreadlocks… loves a fight, funny." And of course, no Supergirl story would be complete without the scene-stealing, super-powered dog Krypto. As of now, there's no official word on whether Corenswet will suit up again as the Man of Steel in Supergirl. We wouldn't be surprised, however, if the actor popped in for a cameo, just like Supergirl did in Superman. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Prior to the contest, she turned a lot of heads with her outfit choice. Advertisement As she arrived at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Clark was seen rocking a shirt with the word "MIRACLE" printed on it. She paired it with leopard-patterned pants for a casual but unique look. Unfortunately for fans who want to cop Clark's look from the game, particularly her pants, they are not available for sale. The pants she wore are apparently customized, according to a fan account dedicated to analyzing the Fever playmaker's outfits. "July 11, 2025: @CaitlinClark22 at Fever vs Dream | Indianapolis, Indiana | wearing #Nahmias Custom Pants. Shop: Unavailable," Caitlin Clark Styled wrote. Advertisement It added, "Caitlin's custom leopard pants are full of personality. Look closely and you'll spot a miniature Nahmias logo hidden throughout the print!" Furthermore, in a separate post, the same account noted that Clark's Nahmias shirt is also not available for sale, as it is a custom cropped item. For what it's worth, Clark has worn a number of Nahmias tees in recent weeks. A similar "Nahmias is the Best Medicine" shirt she wore earlier in June is for sale, priced at $230.
