Billy Joel's Albums Surge Back To The Charts Following His Major Announcement
Billy Joel's albums The Hits and The Stranger reenter the Billboard 200 after the piano player ... More canceled all upcoming shows following his diagnosis. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - NOVEMBER 09: Billy Joel performs at Allegiant Stadium on November 09, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by) Billy Joel has been a major touring force for many years, which seems to have appeased many longtime lovers of his work, as he disappointingly no longer releases music as frequently as he once did. Sadly, the superstar is stepping away from all scheduled performances, which have been canceled for the foreseeable future. This sweeping move follows a May announcement revealing that he has been diagnosed with a condition called normal pressure hydrocephalus, which can affect everything from vision and hearing to balance, making it unsafe for him to perform live. Fans of Joel are understandably disappointed they won't be seeing him play anytime soon, but they don't seem to be complaining. Instead, they're showing their love by returning to his music. Just days ago, Joel didn't appear on any Billboard rankings, but following the announcement of his health condition, several of his projects have experienced a resurgence, and they bring him back to the most important albums tally in the United States. Leading the comeback is The Hits, a compilation of Joel's most beloved tunes. The appropriately-titled release returns to the Billboard 200 at No. 178. According to Luminate, the collection moved just under 8,900 equivalent album units in the latest tracking frame. Fewer than 10 spots behind The Hits comes one of Joel's classic studio efforts, The Stranger, which reenters the Billboard 200 at No. 187. The project moved 8,700 equivalent units, with nearly 800 of those coming from pure purchases. Streaming activity appears to have largely made up the rest. Between the two, The Stranger stands out as the greater success on the Billboard 200. It originally peaked at No. 2 and has now spent 139 frames on the list. The album ranks as Joel's second-longest-charting title, behind only The Essential Billy Joel, which — somewhat surprisingly — does not return to the ranking this time around. The Hits, meanwhile, has spent just over half a year on the Billboard 200 since debuting in 2011. The project narrowly managed to become a top 40 success on the competitive list, as it once peaked at No. 34.

Is ‘The Acolyte' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on May 24, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated May 24, 2025, 14:33 IST The Acolyte, a bold addition to the Star Wars universe, took fans by storm with its High Republic setting, intricate mystery-thriller narrative, and fresh characters. After its first season premiered on Disney+ on June 4, 2024, fans have been eagerly asking: Will there be a Season 2 of The Acolyte? With mixed reviews, a passionate fanbase, and significant narrative threads left open, the future of the series is a hot topic. Here's everything we know so far about The Acolyte Season 2. Has The Acolyte Season 2 Been Confirmed? As of May 24, 2025, Lucasfilm has officially cancelled The Acolyte Season 2, with no plans to continue the series on Disney+. This decision was reported by multiple outlets, including Deadline and Variety, in August 2024, just over a month after the Season 1 finale. However, there have been glimmers of hope for fans. In September 2024, Manny Jacinto, who played the fan-favorite character Qimir (The Stranger), expressed optimism about fighting for a second season during an appearance at DragonCon. This sparked speculation, with Forbes reporting a 'glimmer of hope' for the series' revival. Despite this, no official reversal of the cancellation has been announced, and the show's future remains uncertain. Who Would Return for The Acolyte Season 2? If Season 2 were to happen, key cast members likely to return include: Amandla Stenberg as Osha and Mae Manny Jacinto as Qimir/The Stranger Rebecca Henderson as Vernestra Rwoh David Harewood as Senator Rayencourt Lee Jung-jae as Master Sol (potentially in flashbacks, given his character's fate) New characters or legacy figures like Yoda could also appear, depending on the story's direction. Potential Release Date for The Acolyte Season 2 If The Acolyte were to be revived, a release would likely not occur before 2026, given production timelines for Star Wars series.
