Grateful Dead Scores Its Fifth New Bestselling Album — In The First Half Of 2025
While the Grateful Dead hasn't recorded new music in many years, the band remains one of the most prolific names in the American music industry. The jam rockers release multiple collections annually, and nearly every project shared becomes a bestseller.
2025 has been a particularly busy period for the Grateful Dead, as the band nearly lands back-to-back bestselling efforts as its latest release arrives.
Grateful Dead's Greatest Hits Debuts
The band's new compilation, Greatest Hits, arrives on a pair of Billboard charts this frame. The set opens at No. 20 on the Vinyl Albums list and No. 35 on the Top Album Sales tally. Luminate reports that in the first seven days the compilation was available, it was purchased by a little more than 3,200 fans across the United States.
Two New Bestsellers in June
Greatest Hits marks the second arrival by the Grateful Dead on the Top Album Sales chart in June alone. Just two weeks ago, The Music Never Stopped opened at No. 19. As is the case with almost every full-length the Grateful Dead releases, it then disappeared just one frame later.
Grateful Dead's Five New Albums in 2025's First Half
In the first half of 2025, the Grateful Dead has scored five new wins on the Top Album Sales chart. That roundup includes a pair of runners-up, as both Dave's Picks Volume 53: Riverfront Coliseum, Cincinnati, OH – 10/2/76 and Dave's Picks Volume 54: Baltimore Civic Center, Baltimore, MD – 11/30/73 peaked at No. 2. Grateful Dead – Beacon Theatre, New York, NY – June 14, 1976 also spent a single turn at No. 27.

The Grateful Dead earns the tenth-loftiest debut on the Top Album Sales chart this week. The tally is led by Golden Hour: Part.3 by South Korean boy band Ateez. Fellow musical favorites like Itzy, Calum Hood, Brandon Lake, and Van Morrison land ahead of the jam rock group. The Grateful Dead performs better on the Vinyl Albums tally, where Greatest Hits is the fifth-highest-starting entry of the week.

Listen up WNBA fans, players are fed up with sex toy bit, so can you please keep it in your pants?
The WNBA has been busy making headlines for rising in popularity, having rookie players that are breaking records, and being extremely queer. But lately, the league has been in the news because colorful dildos have been flying onto the court during games. At first, it seemed comical, playful even, and maybe a good luck charm for the Golden State Valkyries, who won both games where a dildo ended up on the court. But now, women's sports fans, it's time to talk because you've taken it too far. It's not funny anymore. The first lime green dildo was thrown onto the court of a contentious game between the Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream on July 29 in Georgia. Almost the entirety of the internet thought the incident was hilarious and quickly got busy making memes. But then it just kept happening. The bizarre trend continued a few days later at an August 1 game between the Valkyries and the Chicago Sky. The third time this happened, Indian Fever star Sophie Cunningham ended up getting hit in the head with the sex toy after telling people on X (formerly Twitter) to 'stop throwing dildos on the court… you're going to hurt one of us.' Then, someone tried to throw another green dildo at a New York Liberty game, but instead of it landing on the court, it nearly hit a child, according to a video posted on social media. Once a sex toy almost nails a kid in the head, it's time to look at what we're doing. At first, we wondered if this wasn't a funny, tongue-in-cheek way to call out just how sapphic the game has gotten, but now that a man has been arrested and said that it was 'supposed to be a joke' and 'go viral,' the intentions seem more problematic. Being taken seriously as a female athlete is already a tough assignment, and having sex toys flying left and right during games isn't helping, especially at a time when WNBA players are fighting for better compensation and revenue sharing. Bottom line: women's sports are not a joke. And while we'd like to think this started as a harmless prank that gave us all a chuckle, it's starting to smack of sexism. In the beginning even some of the players seemed to laugh along. Fever guard Sydney Colson even went on her podcast dressed a green dildo, but then things kept escalating and other players started pointing out how 'disrespectful' and 'dangerous' it is. 'It's super disrespectful,' Sky center Elizabeth Williams said after he game against the Valkyries, per Front Office Sports. 'I don't really get the point of it. It's really immature. Whoever's doing it just needs to grow up.' Sparks coach Lynne Roberts also said, 'It's ridiculous, it's dumb, it's stupid. It's also dangerous. Player safety is number one, respecting the game, all those things. I think it's really stupid.' And GOAT Diana Taurasi had the perfect response for the jokesters, 'I would have picked that thing up and thrown it right back at them.' Maybe we should all just listen to the players themselves. So whoever is keeping this 'joke' going, whether they are straight or gay, it's time to call it quits. The bit is getting tired anyway, right?

Netflix Is Bringing Back T.J. HOOKER as an Action Comedy Movie — GeekTyrant
Netflix is diving back into the world of '80s TV procedurals and giving one of its most recognizable titles a modern, comedic twist. The streaming giant has secured the rights to T.J. Hooker , the classic cop drama that originally starred William Shatner, and is turning it into an action comedy film. The original T.J. Hooker series debuted in 1982 and ran for five seasons, wrapping up in 1986 after airing 91 episodes. It followed Shatner's tough-as-nails Sgt. T.J. Hooker, a seasoned cop dealing with the emotional fallout from his partner's death and a messy divorce. Trading in his plainclothes detective badge, Hooker returns to patrol duty to train rookies and take down the kind of criminals who shattered his life. The cast also included Heather Locklear, Adrian Zmed, and James Darren. Now, Netflix is ready to reimagine that gritty, old-school crime-fighter for today's audience. Hooker's 'rough around the edges' style seems tailor-made for a self-aware, action-packed comedy update that plays with how out-of-place his methods might look in a more progressive world. There's no confirmation yet if the now 94-year-old Shatner will appear in the film, but fans will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on that. Jarrad Paul and Andy Mogel are set to write the script for the adaptation. They'll also produce the movie alongside Sophie Cassidy and Matt Crespy of 2.0 Entertainment, Adrian Askarieh of Prime Universe Films, and Alex Westmore of Vali Vista Films. The film's executive production team includes Rick Husky, the creator of the original show. Paul and Mogel bring a solid comedy pedigree to the project. They're currently showrunning Bert , a Netflix series starring Bert Kreischer, which they also co-created and wrote. Their feature Little Brother , starring John Cena and Eric Andre and directed by Matt Spicer, is shooting this summer for Netflix. Their past work includes Huge in France , The Grinder , and The D Train with Jack Black and James Marsden. They also co-wrote the 2008 comedy Yes Man , starring Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel, and created the animated series Allen Gregory with Jonah Hill. With T.J. Hooker coming back in this new form, Netflix is banking on bringing back a familiar face in a way that could appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers looking for a fresh, fun spin on the cop genre.
