Billie Eilish Leaps Up The Billboard Charts
Hit Me Hard and Soft Lives Inside the Top 40
Of course, Hit Me Hard and Soft is her biggest project at the moment. The Grammy-nominated set is her most recent release, and the one that's still being promoted by multiple singles.
Hit Me Hard and Soft appears inside the top 40 on every ranking, as it jumps from No. 48 to No. 37 on the Top Album Sales chart. The set can also be found at No. 20 on the Billboard 200, and it almost reconquers the Top Rock & Alternative Albums list as it climbs from No. 3 to the runner-up spot.
Hit Me Hard and Soft is a non-mover on the Top Streaming Albums roster, where it sits at No. 18, and it is once again in charge of the Top Alternative Albums ranking.
When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Happier Than Ever
Eilish's first two full-lengths, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Happier Than Ever, live on a trio of tallies — and the same three at that. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? appears in lower spots, but it manages to break back onto the Top Alternative Albums chart, coming in at No. 23.
The studio effort that helped introduce Eilish to a massive audience almost fell off both the Billboard 200 and Top Rock & Alternative Albums rankings last week, as it sat at Nos. 199 and 50 in second-to-last and last place just a few days ago. This time around, it leaps to No. 182 on the all-encompassing ranking of the most consumed sets in the country, and it grows by five spots on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums roster.
Happier Than Ever Surges Back into the Top 40
Happier Than Ever also improves its standing, and just like Hit Me Hard and Soft, it finds its way back into the top 40 on one list. On the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, Eilish's sophomore full-length leaps 10 spaces north to No. 38.
Over on the Top Alternative Albums ranking, it jumps into the top 20, pushing from No. 24 to No. 18. Happier Than Ever gains quite a bit of ground on the Billboard 200, as last time around it sat only a few spaces ahead of When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? at No. 193. Now it surges almost 40 spaces to make a home at No. 153.
Consumption of Billie Eilish's Music is Up – Mostly
Luminate reports that both Happier Than Ever and When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? gained in terms of total consumption from one frame to the next. Happier Than Ever moved 10,000 units last week, up 12.5% from the period before. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? managed just under 9,200 equivalent units, a growth of almost 4%.
While Hit Me Hard and Soft may be Eilish's top performer, it actually sees its total number of units moved decline by a little more than 3%, though it still managed 23,300 equivalent copies in the U.S. in the most recent tracking period.

Saturday Conversation: Paul Weller On His New Album And Robert Plant
This was supposed to be a chill year for iconic British artist Paul Weller. Weller is not touring this year, nor is he writing for a new album. So, he had down time to take care of those things on his 'to do' list. The first thing on that list – Find El Dorado, a covers collection of songs from the likes of Richie Havens, The Kinks, The Bee Gees and other artists Weller admires and respects. The labor of love features Weller's first-ever recorded collaboration with Robert Plant, on 'Clive's Song,' as well as appearances from Noel Gallagher and more. I spoke with Weller about the record and more. Steve Baltin: Congratulations on the record. I love the simplicity of it's very clear you just love these songs Paul Weller: Yeah, and hopefully some of the song people won't know and it'll turn them on to the originals. I thought it's just a nice collection of tunes and before we made the record, I selected what songs, and I put them into a running order, and it just sounded like a great compilation or like a little mixtape. Baltin: Most of these songs I imagine you go back with many, many years, correct? Weller: Yeah, some do. Stuff like 'When You Are A King' and 'I Started A Joke,' but they'd be the oldest ones I guess. They're from when I was a kid, like 10, 11 or whatever. They were big pop songs I would know. I've always loved them two tunes and then the others, the Richie Haven song, which is the first on the album, that comes off an album of his in 2002 called Wishing Well and the rest I guess are old but they're relatively new to me. People have been sending me or playing them for me over the last two or three years. I've just been collecting them up in my mind, put them in a little list in the back of the heads of tunes I'd like to try one day. And this year worked for me because I'm not touring. I'm not writing for an album or anything, taking a bit of a year out. So, I thought this is a good time to make the covers record. But I've been thinking about it for a good sort of four years, five years or so, a long time. Baltin: The reason I ask about how far back the songs go is because I found from talking with people, your relationship with songs changes because of course you bring a different experience to it. So, when you went into making this album, did these songs change for you? Weller: My own songs certainly do. But as you're saying that I was thinking with something like "When You Are a King," which is by White Plains which were like a put together session band anyway. But I loved that song, at the time, when it came out in '68 so I would have been 10. I love that song anyway because I just love the melody and it's just a great pop song. But then when I was watching the King Charles coronation, when he became the King when the Queen popped off, just the absurdity of it and the pomp and ritual and nonsense and millions of pounds it cost to put it on. That song came back to me in a big way, in a far more relevant way, you know. I think it just showed us the ridiculousness of all that royal family bulls**t. So that took on a different meaning for me, a more relevant meaning, apart from just loving it anyway. Baltin: When you started this record, you said you had a running order. So much of music is subconscious. Once you put it together, were you surprised to see how the songs fit together? Weller: Yeah, definitely. Most great records, not saying mine's a great record, just saying most have always got this brilliant flow to the music and different dynamics as well, all those things that keep you interested as a listener and as a journey. So, I'm pretty conscious of that putting it together in the way that complements all the other songs. Baltin: Were there any songs that really surprised you because you can love a song but when you do a song it takes on different nuances that you weren't aware of? Weller: For me I realized there's quite a few songs as well, which I never really knew the correct lyrics to. So, I was singing my own version, because I heard something different from it. But I love that whole thing of how people interpret music anyway, it is individual interpretation, and that's always fascinating, I think. Baltin: I imagine it was a lot of fun as well, because this was just a labor of love for you, songs that have memories for you. Weller: Only a couple of them. Only the late '60s ones I mentioned because the rest of the songs I've heard in recent years. And when I say recent, I mean over the course of the last 10 years, 12 years, 15 years, So, I don't know if they've got particular personal memories for me. I just thought they were great songs. I'm not particularly transported back to a time or any of that stuff. I'm just listening to the music. Baltin: Take me through some of the songs you chose and how you chose them. For example, how did you decide on 'Nobody's Fool,' from The Kinks? Weller: I love so many of Ray's songs, man, it's ridiculous. I love that whole period from like '64 to '71. So, for me, there are just so many classics. But I don't know what you're going to do with 'Waterloo's Sunset.' Are you going to change it or make anything different about it? I thought 'Nobody's Fool' because it's a great Ray Davies song but it's fairly obscure. It was a theme tune from a TV series in the early '70s, '71, called Budgie. So, it was a theme song from that, just not sung by Ray. But I always thought it sounded like a Ray Davies song. I didn't know who it was at the time. It was only some years later. Maybe it was released on a box set, or something like that. Anyway, there's Ray's demo of it, and it's just him on piano so we took the cue from that as opposed to the one that's on the tv. Baltin: It's an interesting mix. I love the fact that you do Flying Burrito Brothers, but then I also I love the Bee Gee's because I think even as big as they are they're underrated. Weller: Yeah, I just think they're great songwriters. A lot of their stuff, I've got to be honest, I've loved by other people. 'Nights on Broadway,' by Candy Station, and Tavares did one of their tunes ['More Than A Woman']. So, I knew a lot of their stuff. And apart from the '60s stuff, I knew their stuff by other people. Baltin: Is there one thing you take away from this collection? Weller: Songs stand up, and that's what matters really at the end of the day, isn't it? I've always believed in a good song as a good song, whether it's The Burritos or Richie Havens or Jake Fletcher, whatever it may be. A good song is a good song for me, and I stand by that really. Baltin: Have you ever worked with Plant before? Weller: No, I've met Robert a few times. And I think we played one song one time at a charity concert. Anyway, he's always been lovely, always been a real gem. We've talked about music and we've often said it'd be great to do something, or I've said to him It would be great if we could do something together. So, it was always just finding the right thing. And he was great, man, he was just a stand -up fella.

5 Reasons Why Kanazawa Should Be On Every Food Lover's Map
While Kyoto is undeniably magical, its overwhelming crowds can strip away much of its charm. For a more intimate experience, consider Kanazawa. Often called 'Little Kyoto' for its historic appeal, the city pairs samurai districts and geisha teahouses with Michelin-starred restaurants, bustling markets and a culinary culture rivaling Japan's best. Here are five places to try Kanazawa's unique regional cuisine. Kinjohro Kinjohro is both a kaiseki restaurant and a ryokan housed in a stunning 130-year-old traditional Japanese building. Guests can book dinner accompanied by a Kanazawa geiko performance featuring music, drinking and traditional games. One of the restaurant's signature dishes is 'tai no karamushi, a traditional dish that represents Kaga cuisine, says Mr. Hyoue Tsuchiya, fifth-generation owner of Kinjohro. 'It offers a glimpse into the rich and elegant food culture of Kaga Hyakumangoku —a term that refers to the prosperous Kaga Domain, once one of the wealthiest regions in feudal Japan, known for its refined arts, craftsmanship, and culinary traditions.' Other seasonal specialties may include jibuni, a simmered duck stew, sushi wrapped in bamboo leaf, regional salmon and rice with wakame seafood. A_RESTAURANT The omakase at A_Restaurant takes inspiration from Western musical structure: intro, interlude, verse, bridge, chorus, solo and outro. At the chef's table, which seats just six, diners are treated to courses such as hassun, a traditional kaiseki course akin to an amuse bouche, alongside playful creations of local fish, wagyu beef, a sushi course and inventive desserts prepared in front of you by the chef patissier. Courses are paired with sake and Kanazawa gin. 'What I believe is most important is to build upon the traditions, the techniques and spirit handed down by our predecessors, while staying open to change, adapting with flexibility, and approaching sushi with sincerity,' says head chef Hideyuki Kon, who trained in Kyoto, Tokyo and Sapporo before being awarded the title of master chef from the Shijo Tsukasa family, a culinary lineage dating back to the year 830. FIVE – Grill & Lounge Located inside the Hyatt Centric Kanazawa, just steps from the Shinkansen station, FIVE serves globally inspired cuisine rooted in Hokuriku ingredients. Both prix fixe and à la carte menus are available, with dishes such as noto pork pâté de campagne with pickled cucumber karashina mustard, Kanazawa brown rice, Kanazawa yuzu kosho and corn crème brûlée. For lunch, afternoon tea features bites like peach shortcake, panna cotta with peach and verbena jelly, and deep-fried camembert cheese, all paired with regional sake, wine and cocktails. After dinner, head to the open-air Roof Terrace Bar for stunning views of Kanazawa and artwork from local artists. Here, craft cocktails and bites are offered alongside domestic whiskies like the single malt Saburomaru series from Hokuriku's Saburomaru Distillery. Guests can also enjoy original chocolate made from sake-kasu (the leftovers from sake production) paired with champagne or Japanese sake. Café Yanagi-an Located in a 200-year-old teahouse above the willow tree in the Higashi Chaya District, Café Yanagi-an transports visitors back in time. Signature offerings include cream anmitsu, Japanese-style parfait, coffee and seasonal afternoon tea. Traditional sweets from the famed Morihachi confectionery are served in custom-made matcha bowls of Ohiyaki pottery. A highlight is the café's anmitsu, a summertime dessert with kanten jelly, fruits and red bean paste, paired with matcha-flavored warabi mochi, all topped with gold leaf from Hakuichi. Guests can also take part in a traditional gold leaf kinpaku workshop by HAKUICHI. Kanazawa produces 99 percent of Japan's gold leaf, and visitors can create souvenirs such as a gilded plate, Japanese jewelry box or hand mirror. Omicho Market Known as Kanazawa's kitchen, this bustling market has over 170 stalls and has operated since the Edo period. Visitors can sample freshly caught seafood, browse fruit and vegetable stands and shop for clothing and gifts. November is particularly busy, as crowds flock for seasonal crab, yellowtail and shrimp. Inside the Omicho Ichibakan building, many popular restaurants serve steaming bowls of rice topped with just-caught Kanazawa seafood. One particularly popular spot to try this delicacy is Omi-cho Kaisen-don Ya Hirai Ichiba Tate Ten.
