Justin Bieber Blocked From A New No. 1 As His Latest Single Grows
This time around in the United Kingdom, 'Yukon' almost gives Bieber another No. 1 on a list he's conquered before, but one of the hottest records of the year in the nation manages to beat him to the summit, at least for the time being.
'Yukon' Jumps to No. 2
'Yukon' climbs again on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart this frame. Bieber's latest focus tune improves from No. 5 to the runner-up space. In just five weeks, the track has become the second-bestselling tune in those genres in the U.K., and the Canadian pop star could be looking at another ruler soon.
Fred Again..'s 'Victory Lap' Wins Again
The Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles tally is currently dominated by 'Victory Lap.' The track is fronted by electronic producer Fred again.., and various versions have been released, crediting a handful of well-known U.K. rappers. The edition on the chart this week only names Skepta and PlaqueBoyMax, though Denzel Curry, Humankind and That Mexican OT have also contributed. 'Victory Lap' rebounds from No. 2 to No. 1, as last week's leader, 'Which One' by Drake and Central Cee, declines from the top spot to No. 3.
Justin Bieber's Top 10 Hits – and One No.
'Yukon' is one of Bieber's 16 top 10 hits on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. Two cuts from Swag — 'Yukon' and 'All I Can Take' — have reached the uppermost tier. 'All I Can Take' peaked at No. 6, though it's no longer present.
Just one track, 'That Power' with Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, has brought Bieber to the throne, while a handful of other popular cuts have stalled at No. 2.
'Yukon' Hits New Highs on Every Chart
'Yukon' can be found on five different song tallies in the U.K., and this week it improves its most impressive peak on all of them. While the Bieber tune only lives inside the top 10 on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles roster, the cut could soon crack the highest tier on the main ranking of the most consumed titles in the U.K.
This week, 'Yukon' enjoys a huge leap as it surges from No. 24 to No. 12. The smash is present on both streaming- and sales-focused rosters, so it seems that it's being consumed in every manner possible, which helps its chances of growing again.

School mom reveals rare peek into Kate Middleton's parenting and private life: "I do see her a lot..."
It's a side of the Princess of Wales we rarely get to see. Kate Middleton might be the future queen of England, but when it comes to parenting, she's just like any other mom on the sidelines. At the premiere of The Real Housewives of London, cast member Panthea Parker shared a rare glimpse into the Princess of Wales' life as a school mom, revealing that Kate is a constant presence at her children's sports games. 'I see her quite a few times because my son's school plays against her son's school,' Parker told Hello!. 'So they play rugby and football against each other so we're always at her school or my school. I do see her a lot but not to talk to, just from afar. So classy, so lovely, and she never misses any of her children's matches, so really amazing.' A hands-on royal mom Kate, 43, and Prince William are raising Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with a focus on family life despite their packed royal schedules. Kate has previously spoken about the challenges of balancing motherhood with duty. On the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast in 2020, she admitted to feeling 'mum guilt' when she couldn't do the school run. 'Even this morning, coming to the nursery visit here – George and Charlotte were like, 'Mummy how could you possibly not be dropping us off at school this morning?'' she said with a laugh. A family that loves sports The Wales family is known to be 'sport-mad,' as royal biographer Robert Jobson has put it. From rugby and football to their annual Wimbledon outings, the family embraces both playing and spectating. Jobson noted that George and Charlotte's appearances at big sporting events show not only their parents' enthusiasm but also a way to connect with the public. With summer holidays underway, the royal kids might be off the field for now — but according to Parker, fans can count on spotting their mom cheering from the sidelines once the school season kicks back in.

Gen Z & Gen Alpha ‘Brainrot' Terms Have Officially Been Added to the Cambridge Dictionary — & We Have So Many Questions
Language is ever evolving, and that's never been more evident than when listening to Gen Z and Gen Alpha talk. They say the most random, out-of-pocket things that have gone viral on the internet from songs, resurfaced phrases from TV and movies, and more places that we can only begin to guess the origins of. It's hard to keep up! Still, rather than write these off as teen slang (or 'brainrot,' as people call the more nonsensical words), Cambridge Dictionary is leaning into the narrative. The prestigious publication revealed that it has added over 6,200 new words to its lexicon, including some of the most popular thing kids are saying right now, and we have so many questions about this move. Boasting as 'one of the fastest-growing dictionaries in the world,' Cambridge has added definitions for words like skibidi, delulu, tradwife, broligarchy, and more. Yes, these are now considered actual words. More from SheKnows Teens Are Showing off Their Dorm Rooms on TikTok & People Are Calling One Detail 'Diabolical' 'It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary,' Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme Manager at Cambridge Dictionary, said in a statement. 'We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary.' We are so confused by this move. If the words are in the dictionary, does that mean students can include things like 'delulu' in their official school essays? And how did the researchers determine that these particular terms have staying power as opposed to other words like 'gurt'? And the most important question of all: will kids come up with a whole new slew of phrases once they realize adults finally know the definitions of their popular slang? (How can anyone keep up, ever?) People had big reactions to the words being added to the dictionary on X. 'Humanity is f**king doomed,' one person wrote, per Daily Dot. 'It's time to revoke internet privileges,' someone else Tweeted. Still, as a parent of two Gen Alpha kids, I'm thankful for these definitions ¾ because my kids certainly can't (or won't) explain them to me. After all, a June study found that only 68 percent of parents understand what Gen Alpha is saying (which is the same or higher than what AI models could understand). Keep reading for some of the slang terms added to Cambridge Dictionary and their definitions. Skibidi (adjective): 'a word that can have different meanings such as 'cool' or 'bad,' or can be used with no real meaning as a joke.' Delulu (adjective): 'believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to.' Lewk (noun): 'a particular style, fashion, or outfit especially one that is unusual and impressive.' Broligarchy (noun): 'a small group of men, especially men owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely rich and powerful, and who have or want political influence.' Tradwife (noun): 'a married woman, especially one who posts on social media, who stays at home doing cooking, cleaning, etc. and has children that she takes care of.' Inspo (noun): 'something, especially something posted on the internet, that gives you ideas for doing something or that makes you want to do something.' Slop (noun): 'content on the internet that is of very low quality, especially when it is created by artificial intelligence.' Rizz (noun): 'the ability to attract people's attention and make them like you, often in a romantic or sexual way.' Search for more popular words in the Cambridge Dictionary HERE.

'Chilling' political interference of BBC must stop, says former news boss
The BBC should be protected from "political interference", the corporation's former director of news has said, after the culture secretary appeared to call for the resignation of director-general Tim Davie earlier this year. Lisa Nandy said ministers expected "accountability at the highest levels" following the iPlayer broadcast of Bob Vylan's highly controversial Glastonbury set in June. James Harding, who previously edited the Times and now runs Tortoise Media, told the Edinburgh TV Festival the BBC should remain independent of government, and said Nandy's close involvement in the Bob Vylan scandal was "chilling". In response, a DCMS spokesperson said: "The culture secretary has been repeatedly clear that the role of the director general is a matter for the BBC board. Any suggestion to the contrary is untrue." In his keynote MacTaggart Lecture, Harding said the perception of a "political presence looming over the BBC" is a problem and that the broadcaster needs to be "beyond the reach of politicians". Several staff were asked to step back from their duties after the live streaming of Bob Vylan's Glastonbury set, where the punk duo led chants of "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]" and made other derogatory comments. Nandy's subsequent call for accountability at the top of the corporation for the decision not to pull the live stream of the performance was subsequently interpreted as calling for Davie's resignation. In his speech, Harding criticised "political interference", or the perception of it, in relation to the BBC, saying it was something "we've got too accustomed to". "The culture secretary's office insists she did not explicitly ask Samir Shah, the BBC chair, to deliver up the director general's resignation... but people inside the BBC were left in no doubt that was the message," Harding said. "Whatever your view of the hate speech vs freedom of speech issues, an overbearing government minister doesn't help anyone," he said. "The hiring and firing of [the director general] should not be the job of a politician." A DCMS spokesperson said: "The BBC has itself acknowledged a number of serious failings in recent months, including the broadcasting of the Bob Vylan set at Glastonbury. It is entirely right that the culture secretary raised these issues with the BBC leadership on behalf of licence fee payers. "The government remains committed to the very important principle that the BBC is operationally and editorially independent. We are focused on securing a sustainable future for the BBC and helping strengthen public trust in the Corporation as part of the upcoming Charter Review."

Elsewhere, Match of the Day host Gary Lineker left the BBC after sharing an Instagram reel about Zionism that featured an illustration of a rat, considered an antisemitic slur. Harding said the BBC was "not institutionally antisemitic", and that it was "untrue and unhelpful to say it is", adding that it was "much better to correct the mistakes and address the judgement calls that have been wrong". He acknowledged the BBC had "made mistakes... and it can be much too slow to correct them". Referring to a debate early in the conflict about the BBC's use of language, Harding said he thought it the BBC was "wrong not to use the word 'terrorist' for the attacks of October 7th; journalists shouldn't censor words, but use them accurately". Harding did not comment on the events surrounding Lineker's resignation, but did say he felt football pundits generally "should be able to have views as a citizen, as well as a job as a BBC broadcaster". Harding also used his speech to argue the BBC has a crucial role to play in defending truth in an age of artificial intelligence (AI) and declining trust in traditional media. "A shared understanding of what's true is disappearing before our eyes," he said. "More people are paranoid, prone to conspiracy theories. Large numbers of people are giving up on the idea of facts." He continued: "Politics and technology are doing untold damage to trust in the world. "On the one hand, politicians are trying to control or cancel the media, particularly news. On the other, AI is beginning to lay waste to the economics of information, while also remaking the job of storytellers." In an age where "we're more divided, more certain we're right", Harding argued, the BBC should be protected and championed as the "most important source of information in this country". He said the corporation was "the best defence of truth and trust against the lies of dictators and demagogues". The BBC's royal charter will be up for renewal in 2027, and it has not yet been decided whether the licence fee will be replaced by a new funding system. Harding reflected: "We're at the beginning of a new information age, if we want it to be truly creative, innovative and competitive globally, we can't short-change the BBC again. "We need, surely, to be thinking about a mix of funding that gets closer to doubling its resources," Harding said. "Because obviously, given the cost of living, that's not going to happen just through the licence fee. "Over five years, nearly two-and-half million households have dropped out of paying the licence fee, so this needs fixing. It's expensive and unfair on those who pay. If we believe in the universality of the BBC, we need to return to the principle in some form or other that every household pays." Harding also suggested news and current affairs programmes could be opened up to independent producers in an effort to make the BBC more of a "people's platform" and allow more varied thinking while maintaining standards of truth and accuracy.
