Benson Boone only has a few more weeks before he releases his sophomore album, American Heart. The highly-anticipated project is currently being promoted by two singles, both of which are getting a full push at pop radio in the U.S., and the singer recently dropped a new tune, 'Momma Song,' which may become a hit as well in just a few days.
The first two tracks earned lofty debuts upon arrival, and now both "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else" and its follow-up "A Mystical Magical" are climbing across a number of tallies, including the Hot 100. As they rise, one of them breaks a tie and establishes itself as a real smash in the singer-songwriter's discography.
"Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else" lifts two spots on the Hot 100 this week, ascending from No. 32 to No. 30. While a jump of just a pair of positions may not seem important, it's a meaningful one for Boone. The single now stands as his second-highest-rising hit ever on the ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.S.
Last week, when "Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else" sat at No. 32, it was tied for that honor with "Slow It Down." That single, featured on his first full-length Fireworks & Rollerblades, stalled at No. 32 in September 2024, and now ranks as his third-highest-rising win.
"Sorry I'm Here for Someone Else" gains ground on the Hot 100 thanks largely to its quick adoption at radio. The tune appears on four of Billboard's airplay rosters, and it climbs to new peaks on three of them this frame. The American Heart focus track jumps to No. 20 on the Radio Songs tally, No. 6 on the Adult Pop Airplay list, and it breaks into the top 10 for the first time on the Pop Airplay roster, pushing from No. 11 to No. 10. At the same time, it holds at its all-time peak of No. 19 on the Adult Contemporary roster.
"Mystical Magical" isn't far behind its predecessor. After barely breaking into the top 40 on the Hot 100, the track dipped to No. 45, but has now reversed course. This week, it steps up three spaces to No. 42. If it gets picked up at radio, it could soon continue its growth on the ranking.
"Beautiful Things" is still far and away Boone's biggest and highest-rising hit on the Hot 100. The tune remains present at No. 8 on the competitive tally, even after 68 weeks on the list. The smash peaked at No. 2 in March 2024 and, amazingly, hasn't disappeared from the ranking.

Netflix's Best New Movie Is An Unlikely Indie With 97% On Rotten Tomatoes
Nicolas Cage stars in the 2021 film 'Pig.' On paper, the premise for Pig sounds like the setup for a Nicolas Cage punchline: a loner of a man ventures out into the woods to rescue his stolen truffle pig. But it's not a self-aware John Wick-esque genre riff played for laughs, nor is it an over-the-top revenge thriller backed by a big budget. No, this quietly profound film is something much more; it's a meditation on grief and memory that uses its bizarre premise not for shock or irony, but for tenderness. Oh, and it also happens to be one of the best-reviewed movies of the 21st century. And it was added to Netflix this morning, accompanying what is already a stellar lineup of movies for the month of May. No, Pig is not at all what you'd expect. But perhaps more surprising than the film's shocking sophistication is the fact that more people haven't seen it, that the movie isn't much more talked about. Because very few films have achieved such great success on Rotten Tomatoes: a 97% score from 272 reviews—a feat almost unheard of for any modern film, let alone a subdued indie about a truffle-hunting recluse and his stolen pig. That amount of positive reviews broaches nearly unmatched territory, recalling what many consider to be the highest-rated movie ever on Rotten Tomatoes, Mad Max: Fury Road, which also scored 97% from 439 reviews. Not many films remain in the high-90s when approaching 300 reviews, which begs the question: shouldn't we all be watching and talking about this movie? Despite its seemingly absurd premise, Pig from director Michael Sarnoski (who also directed A Quiet Place: Day One) is anything but conventional. The film's central star, the often bug-eyed Bela Lugosi super-fan Nicolas Cage, plays Rob, a former fine-dining chef who abandons his past and decides to live deep in the Oregon wilderness with his pig, foraging truffles and avoiding any and all contact with human beings. After a violent break-in that results in his pig being stolen, Rob heads back to Portland not to seek vengeance, but to search for his lost friend—quietly, painfully, and without compromise. What follows is an incredibly emotional journey that requires some heavy acting from Mr. Cage. Critics didn't just like Pig—they were floored by it. Matt Zoller Seitz of gave the film a raving four-star review, calling it 'beguiling' and 'confounding,' the kind of movie that dares to defy genre expectations. Though it teases a gritty revenge plot, the film instead unfolds like a '70s-style picaresque character study. 'Its commitment to its own oddball vision is what makes it linger in the mind,' Seitz writes. 'It's attentive to regret and failure in ways that American films tend to avoid.' In Variety, Michael Nordine praised Cage's 'best performance in years," marveling at the film's ability to 'feel both out there and grounded, often at the same time.' He notes how Cage's portrayal of Rob brings a wounded sincerity to even the film's most bizarre moments, like underground fight clubs for restaurant workers or chapter titles named after recipes. Cage, he writes, finds something 'close to the profound in it all.' Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter highlights Pig's unorthodox emotional prowess, describing it as 'a recipe that takes chances, even if not every ingredient works.' She praises the unlikely chemistry between Cage and Alex Wolff, who plays Amir, a snarky young truffle dealer reluctantly drawn into Rob's mission. Their mismatched dynamic anchors the story, with Linden pointing out how Wolff subtly reveals the self-doubt beneath Amir's ambition. 'Through it all,' she writes, 'Cage plays the enigmatic central character at the perfect simmering temperature, and without a shred of ham.' Pig takes its time, trades catharsis for contemplation, rarely delivers what you expect—and that's exactly why it has resonated so deeply with audiences and critics alike. It's a film about food, yes, but also about identity, about loss, about what remains when everything else is stripped away. Rob doesn't just want his pig back; he wants to remember who he was when he still cared about something bigger than himself. At 92 minutes, Pig wastes absolutely nothing—not a word, not a look, not a moment. It's a lean, haunting film that sneaks up on you and stays there. And with a Rotten Tomatoes score this high, we can officially deem them gem more than a cult classic—it's a critical titan. And it's now streaming on Netflix. So be sure you don't miss it if you're a subscriber.

This Waterfront Hotel in North Carolina's Outer Banks Just Reopened—With Access to Private Beaches and a Celebrity Chef Restaurant
The Sanderling Resort in Duck, North Carolina, has unveiled new features and a redesigned look in time for its 40th anniversary. The waterfront hotel has updated all of its 123 guest rooms with layered textures, beachy hues, and natural wood furnishings. Theodosia, the hotel's new restaurant, is helmed by James Beard award-winning chef Vivian Howard and serves refined Southern coastal cuisine. Summer guests can enjoy a variety of experiences, including floral arranging workshops, mixology classes, stargazing sessions, and evening ghost crab hunts. Since 1985, The Sanderling Resort in Duck, North Carolina, has been offering its guests prime waterfront views, private beaches, and a casually elegant coastal vibe. Now, just in time for its 40th anniversary, the only full-service luxury resort in the Outer Banks has unveiled a new look. Located between the Atlantic Ocean and Currituck Sound, the hotel spans 12 acres and features newly designed interiors, a restaurant by lauded chef Vivian Howard, an 8,500-square-foot waterfront event venue, and a slate of immersive guest experiences. The Sanderling Resort 'captures the spirit of the quintessential American beach vacation—an inspiring blend of barefoot luxury, culinary excellence, and the natural beauty that makes the Outer Banks a truly one-of-a-kind destination,' Shai Zelering, managing partner and head of hospitality at Brookfield's Real Estate Group, the resort's owner, told Travel + Leisure . 'It's a place designed for active escapes, meaningful moments, and timeless memories.' The hotel's new look comes courtesy of New York City-based interior design firm Ward + Gray, which channeled the welcoming spirit of a chic friend's beach house with layered textures, beachy hues of beiges, soft blues, and sea glass greens, along with natural wood furnishings. In some of the 123 guest rooms, bespoke artwork depicts native birds and local flora in celebration of the region's rich biodiversity, and mirrors are hand-painted with floral designs. North Carolina native and James Beard award-winning chef Vivian Howard is behind The Sanderling's signature restaurant, named Theodosia after the daughter of founding father Aaron Burr. (Theodosia is the central figure of one of the Outer Banks' most enduring maritime legends.) The restaurant serves refined Southern coastal cuisine, featuring dishes such as slow-baked grouper in Frogmore broth, blueberry barbecue duck, and lemon pie with a Ritz cracker crust, enjoyed against the backdrop of the surrounding beaches. Theodosia is open to guests and locals, and joins the resort's other dining outposts: the all-day Lifesaving Station, housed in a restored 19th-century Coast Guard station, and the seasonally open Sandbar and Beach House Bar, both offering casual bites and drinks. The new Sunset Ballroom event venue, which replaces an underutilized indoor pool, features vaulted ceilings, a new outdoor deck, and a wall of windows that frame the Currituck Sound and show off the destination's spectacular sunsets. Lounge chairs lay around the outdoor pool. Conor Doherty/The Sanderling Resort Summer visitors can immerse themselves in classic beach activities like kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and lounging by the resort's two swimming pools, including a zero-entry family pool and the adults-only Tranquility Pool. New seasonal programming includes hands-on floral arranging workshops, mixology classes highlighting regional spirits, book clubs, stargazing sessions, gourmet beach picnics, and family-friendly evening ghost crab hunts along the shoreline. The Sanderling also offers plenty of self-guided ways to spend time, from bird watching—the resort is near the 60-acre Pine Island Audubon Sanctuary—to scavenger hunts and exploring coastal trails. Nightly rates at The Sanderling Resort start from $475, and you can book your stay at

Sleep timers on Android TV may no longer feel like an oversight (APK teardown)
Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Android TV supports a sleep timer for falling asleep to your favorite shows, but it's a bit bare-bones. A recent update shows Google working on few new features tied to sleep timer functionality. These could include notifications warning you of upcoming timers, and maybe even letting you extend them. How we consume media has wildly changed over the past 20 years, but some of the same old habits still persist. You man have ditched cable TV for the streaming life, but even with an Android TV box in the living room, we still end up camped out on the couch, clicking away on the remote for hours on end. Luckily, some tools from our cable past have managed to stick around, and if you regularly find yourself drifting off while in the middle of streaming session, you may already be taking advantage of Android TV's sleep timer. Now we're checking out what could be some Authority Insights story on Android Authority. Discover You're reading anstory on Android Authority. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won't find anywhere else. An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. If you weren't even aware that Android TV offers a sleep timer, we'd forgive you, as Google has so far not done a heck of a lot to make it particularly accessible. While some OEMs do build Android TV devices with interfaces that make accessing the sleep timer reasonably convenient, by default it's buried deep within settings menus, requiring a prohibitive number of remote taps to even get to. And once you do engage with it, it's quite bare-bones — you can set a new timer, and see how much remains on the active one, but that's about it. Digging into version 1.0.756918669 of the Google TV launcher, we spotted some new strings that sure seem to hint at Google building out the functionality of its sleep timer: Code Copy Text Cancel timer Pause timer Resume timer %1$d seconds until TV turns off %1$d minutes until TV turns off Your sleep timer has ended, but something went wrong when turning off your TV. You can still turn it off manually Unable to turn off TV We don't currently have anything like that ability to pause and resume, nor those kind of messages counting down the time remaining until the device powers off. While these seem straightforward enough, some other text is a little more confusing: AssembleDebug / Android Authority Clearly, we're looking at some sort of notifications here, but we haven't yet been able to view any in operation. It's possible Google might give you a heads-up when there's either 5 minutes or 45 seconds remaining on your sleep timer, letting you add additional time if needed. At least, that feels like a logical enough read, but the 45-second notification in particular is such an unusual timeframe (why not do it at 1 minute?) that we're remaining very open to the possibility that we don't yet have the full picture of what Google's cooking up here. Regardless of the details, something or other seems to be in the works for sleep timers on our Android-powered TVs, and we'll keep digging for further evidence of exactly what Google's building.
