Billie Eilish's Debut Album Hits Half A Decade On The Charts
Billie Eilish recently wrapped the U.K. leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour. The superstar singer-songwriter played six nights at The O2 Arena in London and then headed to Manchester before moving on to Ireland, and soon, Asia. Around her visit to the U.K., Eilish's entire catalog surged on the charts in that country. Now that all the excitement has faded, all three of her full lengths are on the decline, but one of her earliest projects hits a special landmark number, even as it slips. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Reaches Half a Decade When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? steps back five spots on the Official Albums chart, declining from No. 72 to No. 77. Even as it dips, the project reaches 260 weeks on the ranking of the most-consumed albums in the U.K. — a full half-decade on the roster. This is a feat reserved for only the most famous musicians and the most successful albums. Billie Eilish's First Five-Year-Charter Eilish reaches half a decade on the Official Albums chart for the first time. Only a short time ago, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? passed her debut EP Don't Smile at Me. That project, which missed out on the top 10 and doesn't find space on the list as frequently as her trio of full lengths, has thus far racked up 247 stays somewhere on the tally. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Lives on Five Charts When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? can be found on five rankings across the Atlantic. As it steps back on both the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming charts, the project manages to climb on the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums tallies. Eilish even sends the title back into the top 40 on the Official Vinyl Albums roster, where it reenters at No. 36. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Made Billie Eilish a Star By the time Eilish released When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? in 2019, she was already one of the most talked-about newcomers in the music industry — even though she was only a teenager. The full length became her first No. 1 in countries all around the world and produced smashes like 'You Should See Me in a Crown' and 'Bad Guy.' The set won her all four of the most important Grammy Awards — Album, Record, and Song of the Year, as well as Best New Artist — and turned her into a household name globally. Hit Me Hard and Soft and Happier Than Ever All three of Eilish's full lengths appear on the Official Albums chart this week. Hit Me Hard and Soft, her newest, continues to live inside the top 20 even as it falls on five rankings. Happier Than Ever dips outside the upper half, while managing to climb several spots on the vinyl tally.

The Team Behind ‘Wednesday' Is Bringing the Addams Family Back to Animation
Jeffrey Wright talks The Batman, Part II. Plus, get a look at what's coming on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Alien: Earth. Spoilers away!Variety reports a brand-new sci-fi/horror production company called Void Signal has partnered with Alliance Home Entertainment, 'targeting digital and physical releases across North America, the U.K., and Ireland.' The company's first release, The Healing, will be available this October 7 and star Alyona Mitroshina as 'a woman who flees her abusive husband for a mysterious retreat with friends, where surreal rituals and haunting visions reveal dark secrets.' October 14 will see the release of 'a mix of Terminator and I Spit on Your Grave starring Daria Panchenko as an erotic film star who transforms into a vengeful cyborg,' co-starring William Prociuk, Magui Bravi, and Sofía Gala Castiglione. The company's October 21 release, Holy Mother, stars Eihi Shiina as 'a silent trans woman fighting a brutal organization with chainsaws, lasers, and non-stop carnage.' Intriguingly, Variety also has word that Richard Stanley (Hardware, The Color Out of Space) has been hired to write the third entry in the killer Winnie the Pooh franchise, Blood & Honey. Production is expected to start early next year. During a recent episode of Deadline's Crew Call podcast, Wednesday showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar revealed they're working on a new, animated Addams Family movie unrelated to either Wednesday or the 2019 and 2021 films. We're working on it with Amazon MGM and with Kevin Miserocchi who runs the Addams Foundation, he knew Charles Addams and the keeper of the Addams flame, and with Gail Berman and John Glickman. We're rebooting the animated film franchise. So it won't have anything to do with the two films before it, nor is it connected with this show. It will be a brand new Addams feature. There's not really much we can say about it, because it's in the very early stages. Speaking with Den of Geek, Jeffrey Wright said he has yet to read the script for The Batman, Part II, but has 'heard some things' and 'respects [Matt] Reeves' Gotham-building skills.' I haven't read it yet, no. But I've heard some things. I'm liking what I'm hearing. And I have huge respect for Matt's Gotham-building skills. So I'm excited to jump in there and read what he has, which I'm sure will be rich and satisfying to play, and ideally for audiences to take in as well. Fangoria has a new poster and synopsis for Steven Kostanski's Deathstalker remake. The Kingdom of Abraxeon lies under siege by the Dreadites, who are looking to resucitate the long-dead sorcerer Nekromemnon, which would spell Abraxeon's annihilation. Taking a cursed amulet from a dead Prince on a battlefield, Deathstalker teams with Doodad to rid himself of the medallion as he's marked by dark magick and hunted by monstrous assassins.
