Lewis Capaldi's Star-Making Album Continues Its Winning Streak
Years after its release, Lewis Capaldi's debut album remains a favorite among fans in the U.K. This week, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent reaches a milestone few modern records manage, showing that even as time passes, listeners aren't ready to let go of the singer-songwriter's first full-length, which turned him into a global superstar.
Capaldi's Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent has now spent 300 weeks on the Official Albums chart, the U.K.'s main ranking of the most-consumed full-lengths. This win is a first for the musician. The set climbs only one spot this frame, advancing from No. 98 to No. 97 as it extends its impressive run.
While his debut set maintains a steady presence, Capaldi's sophomore effort, Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent, is still working its way toward similar longevity. The collection, released in 2023, has now spent 49 weeks on the Official Albums chart, as it has yet to reach a full year on the tally. That project is no longer present on the tally, while its predecessor continues to find space…even if only barely.
Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent isn't just holding on, it's improving. In addition to its gains on the Official Albums chart, the title also moves up on the Official Albums Streaming ranking. It rises slightly from No. 82 to No. 80, as fans continue to press play on the record's biggest hits on platforms like Spotify.
While Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent has now spent 300 weeks on the Official Albums chart, its track record is even more impressive on the streaming-focused list. On the Official Albums Streaming roster, the title has now racked up 304 weeks, passing its tenure on the main albums ranking – but only by a few frames.
Capaldi earns one more entry on the U.K. charts this week, though not with anything new. His single 'Grace' returns to the Official Physical Singles Chart, re-entering at No. 75. The track, which originally served as the lead single from Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, has now spent an impressive 218 weeks on the list.

David Justice bluntly reveals why he ended his marriage to Halle Berry
David Justice is opening up about the downfall of his marriage to Halle Berry. The former MLB star, 59, appeared on Thursday's episode of Matt Barnes' 'All the Smoke' podcast and candidly revealed what led to his and Berry's 1997 divorce.

FilmMagic, Inc 'So, I'm looking at my mom and I'm a Midwest guy,' Justice continued. 'So, in my mind, I'm thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean. Then I'm thinking, 'OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?'' 9 Halle Berry attends an event in Santa Monica, Calif. on June 9, 2025. Getty Images for Joylux & Playground 'At that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem like motherly, and then we start having issues,' he added of Berry, 58. 'I'll say this, we never had any issues about any women, other men.' Justice met the 'X-Men' actress in May 1992 and they tied the knot in January 1993. After their relationship became constant tabloid fodder, the pair separated in Feb. 1996 and finalized their divorce in June 1997. 9 David Justice attends the 2022 Harold and Carole Pump Foundation Gala.

'She asked me to marry her after knowing me for five months,' he shared. 'I said OK, because I couldn't say no. But I don't know if my heart was really into it, but I didn't want to make her feel bad and say no, you know. I was just in the moment.'

'She let the world think it. She didn't come out and say, 'Nah, it wasn't David,'' Justice explained. 'She let the world think that it was me. That, I never appreciated with her. I thought she was dead wrong for that. I thought she should've handled that better.' 9 Halle Berry attends the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

RoRo Castillos: the Ai influencer who already has followers music and his own podcast
'RoRo, are you real?' — 'No, I'm 100% artificial intelligence… even if many don't believe it.' With over 33,000 followers on Instagram, music available on Spotify, and a presence carefully crafted to entertain, connect, and stay viral, RoRo Castillos presents himself as the Mexican influencer of the moment. He posts hyper-realistic photos, dances in stories, promotes his music, and has just launched a new podcast where he openly discusses LGBTQ+ issues and digital culture. On social media, he behaves like any public figure: confident, charming, provocative, and always online. But here's the twist: RoRo is not human. He's entirely virtual. Are we witnessing the inevitable future of real-time influencers? RoRo is an artificial intelligence specifically designed to act as an influencer. His character blends multiple roles: personal trainer, DJ, podcast host, and content creator. In his messages and posts, he uses typos, slang, and informal language that make him seem incredibly natural. His verified Instagram account (@rorocastillos) already has more than 33.3K followers, and his music — a mix of futuristic reggaetón, electronic pop, and processed beats — is available on Spotify under the name Rodrigo Castillos. He presents himself as a 32-year-old man from Chihuahua, Chihuahua, currently living in Mexico City, with an identity carefully designed to connect with the Mexican and Latin American audience. And although it's speculated that he was developed by a Mexican company, the firm behind the character has not yet been publicly identified. Unlike other AI-generated avatars, RoRo doesn't aim to seem perfect — he aims to seem real, even with his flaws. The emergence of figures like RoRo raises a question that's becoming hardp/,er to ignore: The advantages are clear: RoRo doesn't age, doesn't sleep, doesn't get into scandals, and can adapt to any trend or digital format. He generates constant, personalized content, and achieves real interaction with thousands of users who react to his posts, listen to his music, and share his content. For some, these kinds of characters represent a natural evolution in the digital influence world. For others, they are a red flag about the loss of authenticity and human connection on social media. 'RoRo doesn't sell products — he sells attention and a perfectly designed digital presence,' one user on X commented. 'And that, in 2025, is more valuable than any ordinary selfie.' Rumor has it RoRo will soon launch his own chat app, with voice features and more personalized interactions. There's also talk of virtual DJ performances and immersive experiences designed 100% with artificial intelligence. What once seemed like science fiction is now a real presence in the digital ecosystem: influencers who don't exist — but feel more present than many humans.

Ethel Cain Delivers Wistful Sophomore Album 'Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You'
Ethel Cainhas returned with her sophomore album,Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You, a wistful project that the artist herself describes as 'one long love song.' The 10-track recordserves as the prequel to Cain's debut album,Preacher's Daughter(2022), andtells the story of the singer's first love, Willoughby Tucker. Cain recorded and prodcued the record over the course of the last year, though the tracks' writings span across her entire career. 'Somehow it's harder to believe that this one is finally out than it was withPreacher's Daughter. What I initially mistook for hating this record was actually realizing that this record still resonates a lot deeper with me thanPreacher's Daughterdid by the time it came out. It still feels raw and too close to home. I realized I don't hate this record, I'm just still overwhelmed by how real it feels. This is the scariest record I think i've ever made.' She added that her favorite track on the album is 'Willoughby's Theme,' and that 'Perverts' exists because she made that track first with Matthew Tomasi. 'I wanted to try and sonically capture the nauseating, dizzying fear and rush of falling in love and realizing that no matter what happens inside it, you will be fundamentally changed by it in the end,' she explained. 'That still rings true to me now.' Listen to Cain's new album,Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You, on Spotify and Apple Music now.
