Morgan Wallen Fans May Have Chosen Their Next Favorites From His New Album
Morgan Wallen's new album I'm the Problem has already produced more hit songs than most artists will manage during an entire successful career. The singer-songwriter promoted the set for months ahead of its release, landing top 10 smash after top 10 smash on major Billboard rankings like the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts.
Weeks after the full-length arrived, it's still ruling multiple tallies, and while the spotlight remains on tunes like "What I Want" with Tate McRae, fans have chosen several other cuts as their favorites. Several album tracks from I'm the Problem are climbing to new peaks across numerous Billboard rosters at the moment while others slip downward.
Neither "TN" nor "Dark Till Daylight" have been selected as singles from I'm the Problem – at least not yet – but as consumption continues to grow, while many other non-singles begin to fade, Wallen and his team may want to take notice.
Between the two, "TN" is the better performer, but only slightly. This week, it ascends to new peaks on both the Hot Country Songs and Country Streaming Songs charts, inching up to Nos. 13 and 12, respectively.
Just three weeks into its tenure on those rankings, "Dark Till Daylight" isn't far behind, also earning new best showings. The track hits No. 15 on the Hot Country Songs list and No. 13 on the Country Streaming Songs chart.
Both "TN" and "Dark Till Daylight" also appear on the Hot 100, Streaming Songs chart, and Billboard Global 200. While "TN" rises across all five tallies on which it's found, "Dark Till Daylight" is descending on both the Streaming Songs list and Billboard Global 200. It does, however, manage to hold at its all-time high of No. 49 on the Hot 100.
Wallen fills, in some cases, a dozen or more spots on several of those lists. The tracks featured on I'm the Problem are performing spectacularly on the Hot 100 and Billboard Global 200, and his name is scattered across all of the country-only rankings, including in a few spots with much older tracks from past projects. I'm the Problem continues to dominate the Billboard 200, while the songs from its 37-tune tracklist rack up millions of streams.

Apple Music Chief: It's 'Crazy' Other Streaming Services Offer Free Music Tiers
Music icon on an iPhone NurPhoto via Getty Images Oliver Schusser, Apple Music's top executive, said it's 'crazy' that other music streaming platforms continue to offer free consumer tiers and suggested it devalues music as a form of art. Speaking with National Music Publishers Assn. CEO David Israelite during the organization's annual meeting on June 11, Schusser, vice president of Apple Music and International Content, said, 'I think it's crazy that 20 years in, we still offer music for free. We're the only service that doesn't have a free service. As a company, we look at music as art, and we would never want to give away art for free.' He likened Apple's music streaming model to its parent company's business model for television streaming service Apple TV+. 'Let me give you an example,' he said. 'In January we added the most successful show in the world on AppleTV +. It's called 'Severance.' You know what you have to do to watch 'Severance'? You had to sign up to Apple TV+ and pay $10. It isn't available anywhere for free,' he said. Pointing to Gracie Abrams - who accepted the Billboard Breakthrough Songwriter of Year award at the event, and Kacey Musgraves, who was honored with this year's NMPA Songwriter Icon Award - Schusser added, 'So I don't understand why Gracie's album would be available for free, or Kacey's. It makes no sense. We don't have a free service, we will not have one, we have no plans for one.' Schusser's comments come as tensions persist between the music industry and the streaming platforms, where songwriters are still often splitting pennies per play, and new offerings are exacerbating the situation. Spotify last year began offering subscriptions that bundle music with audiobooks, a move Amazon Music has recently parroted. 'The songwriting and music publishing community has been in what seems like a never-ending dispute with Spotify, a company that's constantly attacking songwriters and trying to cut what they pay," said Israelite. "And now Amazon is also bundling and we've seen a reduction of royalties in the last few months.' At the meeting, NMPA executive VP and general counsel Danielle Aguirre put numbers behind those losses. 'We lost over $230 million' last year as a direct result of Spotify's bundles, she noted, and in the first three months since Amazon started bundling, 'we've seen a 40 percent decrease in music revenue from Amazon.' Israelite shared that music publishing revenue in the U.S. grew 17 percent to more than $7 billion last year, but suggested that growth would be more significant if strenuous government regulation such as mechanical royalties weren't a factor.

What Is the Dress of Summer? It's Surprisingly Simple
Every summer, without fail, a fan-favorite dress emerges; a dress becomes the dress. During the pandemic, for instance, the strawberry dress went viral—and everyone on your Instagram or TikTok page was wearing it. Last year, sheer naked dresses were all the rage. It's no surprise that statement dresses become popular during the season, as they are the perfect, easy garment to wear during a heat wave. And given we are officially entering the summer season next week, we're currently wondering: What will the breakout summer dress of 2025 be? According to celebrities, there are already signs of the silhouettes will reign supreme. Over the past few weeks, stars have been debuting their best summer frocks—and the consensus this year is that minimalism is back. (I mean, did it ever leave?). Simple, sleek maxi dresses—from tank dresses to slinky gowns—have been making their rounds both on the streets and on the red carpets. Compared to bold floral dresses (which are often popular this time of year), the new crop of summer sdummer whisper a sense of elegance. Dakota Johnson Photo: Splash News Cardi B Photo: Backgrid There have been both day and night approaches to the more streamlined look. In New York City, Dakota Johnson recently stepped out in a white Khaite tank dress that was a perfect choice for elevated day wear. The square neck and calf-length hemline made it feel modern, and it's precisely the kind of timeless design you can sport for many summers to come. Ditto for Cardi B and her beige bodycon halter dress: With no embellishments or bright colors, it put all emphasis on the figure and her killer accessories. (With Cardi, that always includes a staggering heel.) For a more formal nighttime feel, meanwhile, simple tank or slip dresses have also prevailed. At the Cannes Film Festival last month, Bella Hadid slinked her way onto the red carpet in a draped black Saint Laurent gown. Again, it was all about the open back and high slit—and less about the dress itself being overly complicated or flashy. In New York, Miley Cyrus wore a black sheer sheath dress; what it lacked in ornamentation, it made up for in drama via a totally-transparent fabrication. Why do such simple looks feel so right for this summer? For starters, they point to the quiet mood of fashion in general right now: Rather than going super experimental, brands like The Row, Lemaire, and Khaite are all zeroing in on classic silhouettes this season. Clearly, the stealthy-chic trend is resonating, and has now ventured into summer dress territory. Still, that doesn't mean your warm weather wardrobe has to be devoid of personality in the months to come. As these stylish celebrities have proven, add a great shoe and fun jewelry, and your look can still have a major impact. Consider these simple dresses your blank canvas—but how you style them, is when a true style masterpiece happens. Start brainstorming, Picassos.

For Elite College Admissions, Fewer Activities May Mean More
The River Ridge bench celebrates in the final seconds as River Ridge's Jesica Mergen scores on a ... More free throw in their 43-42 overtime win against Prentice in a Division 5 semifinal WIAA state tournament basketball game Thursday, March 24, 2011, in Madison, Wis. (AP Photo/Andy Manis) When people find out that I write about colleges and universities, I am frequently asked for advice about getting kids into college, or getting them a rung or two up the college prestige ladder. I probably get a related question by e-mail once or twice a week, on average. I usually disappoint the inquirer, since I do not think I have much to offer on the topic. Although lately, I have been advising parents not to let their eager applicants use AI for their applications or personal essays. Colleges want authentic voices. And many do check for AI use. Few things will do more harm more quickly than having an admissions reviewer think an applicant is faking it, or worse – being dishonest. I do also suggest that parents and families sign up for direct admission programs because I am a big fan of how they're changing the application and admissions process. I love how these programs give admissions instead of rejections, which can be great for student confidence and grit. I also love how they can dramatically broaden an applicant's gaze to include schools they perhaps did not even know about, and very likely never even considered. Plus, direct admission financial aid and scholarship packages can be quite strong. Maybe that means that I do have a few things to offer about the college admissions journey. But starting now, based on a survey I saw recently, I'm adding another morsel of admissions advice – don't overdo the extracurricular activities. For some families, that may seem counterintuitive. The inclination has been, I suspect, to do as much as possible, to jam every available hour with one enterprise or another. The assumption was that carpet-bombing a college application with this activity, and another, and yet another thing showed ambition, energy, and curiosity – things applicants assumed colleges wanted in their students. Or that, alternatively, showing how an admissions prospect was managing 20 hours a week of extracurricular activity while also booking a 3.9 GPA demonstrated maturity, focus, and time management skills. But based on a survey of students who applied to, and were admitted at, top-tier, highly exclusive colleges – think: the Ivy League, plus the likes of MIT, Stanford, Duke, and one or two more – fewer activities, fewer hours a week may be the best course to convince the admissions gatekeepers. The survey, by Pioneer Academics, which provides accredited academic and extracurricular enrichment programs to college-bound students, asked more than 150 high-tier applicants and admitted students about the high school activities that went into their applications. The results show that for elite universities, the sweet spot for quantity of extracurricular activities is just four. Acceptance and enrollment rates ramp upwards based on the number of activities from one (8% admission rate), two (15%), three (25%), to four, where 30% of students get in. After four, the rates drop. Students with five extracurriculars got good admissions news 25% of the time. At six activities, the admissions rate was seven percent, slightly worse than having just one extracurricular activity. Further indicating that it's possible to over-do the out-of-class activities for students accepted at the nation's elite schools, the average number of extracurriculars was 3.7 – just under four, in other words. A similar trend held true for the amount of time college prospects spent on their extracurricular engagements. For hours spent, the admission and enrollment sweet spot was just four to eight hours a week. Those rates were close to, although slightly ahead of, the rates for students who spent an average of eight to ten hours a week on activities outside the school. If students spent more than ten hours a week on extracurricular stuff, their admissions rates actually fell by 10%. On the other end, students who spent less than four hours a week were, according to the survey, nearly three times less likely to get golden admissions tickets. Putting the two data points together, if you were planning, the best place to be is three or four activities practiced four to eight hours per week, about an hour or two per activity. The survey suggested that this three-to-four, four-to-eight window was a kind of Goldilocks zone, where commitment was evident, but so too was passion – that students were investing in what they cared about, not just checking as many boxes as possible in the hope that something stuck. The survey analysis also suggested that it may be beneficial for the chosen extracurricular activities to be related, all in music or art, or all related to animal welfare or global climate change, things like that. Demonstrating genuine passion over frantic pace, in other words, may be the code-cracker. Even though the lifetime benefits of a college education, especially at an elite college, are rich and abundant, I would never advise overtly trying to hack or code-break college admissions. Nonetheless, this survey information from Pioneer is likely helpful for students and their support people not to overdo it. Extracurricular activities are not like the SATs or your GPA, where every extra point can matter. When adding enrichment activities to a college application, having fewer activities may be more.
