Deftones dazzle Boston with energetic TD Garden show
Advertisement
The Deftones fanbase has steadily grown in multiple directions since their debut 'Adrenaline' came out in 1995. Newer bands proudly cite them as an influence, the genres their music has touched on over the years get freshly discovered by younger listeners, and older rock enthusiasts who missed them the first time around unearth them on streaming services. The audience was solidly cross-generational, with the general-admission ticket holders on the floor erupting into push-and-shove mosh pits as a testament to their collective appreciation.

From the first note, Tuesday's show provided a dazzling example of why Deftones have become part of rock's firmament. The band closed their set with the thwacking 'Adrenaline' cut '7 Words,' a scrappy young cousin of skate-metallers Suicidal Tendencies' angst-ridden 1983 touchstone 'Institutionalized' that allowed Moreno to lead the arena in one final, frenzied freakout, placing an exclamation point on the room's shared catharsis.

Ed Sheeran's New Single Rockets To No. 1
In just over a month, Ed Sheeran will release his new album Play. The set marks his return to the kind of polished, radio-ready pop that first made him a global superstar, and he's been building anticipation for the project for months. With only weeks left before the drop, the Grammy winner has shared a new single that bolted right to the top of the sales charts. 'A Little More' Hits No. 1 On Thursday (August 7), just ahead of the beginning of a new tracking week, Sheeran unveiled 'A Little More,' the fourth official single from Play. The track quickly became a bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic, rising to No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart in the U.K. and reaching No. 3 in the U.S. 'A Little More' Trails Only Deftones in America In America, 'A Little More' earns the second-highest debut of the new tracking period. Sheeran comes in behind only 'Milk of the Madonna' by Deftones, which starts at No. 1. Several other just-shared cuts, including those from Rob Thomas and Josiah Queen, among others, which also soar straight into the highest tier on the sales tally. Ed Sheeran's Other Play Singles In the U.K., where Sheeran remains one of the most successful acts of all time, the release of 'A Little More' has also pushed sales of his earlier Play singles north. Recent tracks 'Sapphire,' 'Azizam,' and 'Old Phone' are all rising on iTunes from where they sat just hours before the new tune dropped. Of those three, 'Azizam' continues to stand out as the biggest, as it peaked at No. 3 on the Official Singles chart. 'Sapphire' reached as high as No. 5, while 'Old Phone' became a rare underperformer for Sheeran, topping out at No. 17 and missing the top 10 entirely. 'Drive' Joined Ed Sheeran's 2025 Output Even while focusing on promoting Play, Sheeran also found time to share music not included on the album's tracklist. 'Drive,' recorded for the Brad Pitt film F1 and its soundtrack, arrived earlier this year. 'Drive' failed to make a major impact commercially in the U.K., where it drove to No. 49 and missed the top 40. It also didn't reach the Hot 100 in the U.S., where 'Azizam' is still the only Play single to crack the top 40 so far.

Deftones Beat The Competition To No. 1 With A New Single
Deftones' new single 'Milk of the Madonna' races to No. 1 on iTunes, topping major new releases just weeks before the band's tenth album Private Music drops.

(Photo by Sergione Infuso/Corbis via Getty Images) Corbis via Getty Images Fridays kick off another tracking week in the global music industry, and they're often crowded with new albums and singles from some of the biggest names in the business. The race to claim the top seller on iTunes or dominate streaming platforms is intense, with pop, rock, and rap acts all aiming for No. 1 on those platforms. This Friday (August 8), one band pulls ahead of a rush of new releases in the United States as the arrival of its highly-anticipated new album draws near. Deftones rules the iTunes Top Songs chart in America as of the time of writing. The group's latest single 'Milk of the Madonna' shoots to No. 1 just hours after it was released, becoming the bestselling track in the country on the most important sales platform. 'Milk of the Madonna' is one of five new titles sitting inside the top 10 on the U.S. iTunes tally at the moment. Deftones come in ahead of just-released offerings from Ed Sheeran, Josiah Queen, Gavin Adcock, and Rob Thomas, and several other stars appear just below the No. 10 position. The new single serves as the second promotional cut from the band's upcoming tenth full-length Private Music , which is due August 22. Last month, Deftones dropped 'My Mind as a Mountain,' the first taste of the project. That track launched in lofty positions on several Billboard charts, and 'Milk of the Madonna' could soon follow with its own splashy debuts. Formed in Sacramento in the late '80s, Deftones have built a reputation as one of rock's most adventurous outfits, blending alt-metal aggression with atmospheric, experimental touches. Throughout the decades, the band has reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums ranking with half a dozen projects, and another big win is likely coming later this month.

Brittany Snow's Rumored Boyfriend, Hunter Moreno, Shows Her Support After 'The Hunting Wives' Release
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN In October 2024, The Hunting Wives actress Brittany Snow was seen with a mystery man in New York City in photos shared by the Daily Mail. He was identified as cinematographer Hunter Moreno, and the pair looked very cozy, sharing a kiss while walking Snow's dog. The actress was wearing a Yankees cap, long black coat, and wide-legged pants for the outing with a pair of sunglasses. Moreno was in a baseball cap, jeans, and a big white hoodie. A year earlier, Snow divorced ex-husband Tyler Stanaland, known for his role on Selling The OC, a spin-off of the popular Netflix reality show, Selling Sunset. The former couple announced their split in September 2022 in a joint statement on Instagram that is now deleted, saying, 'This decision was made with love and mutual respect for one another. We have realized we need to take some time and make sure we are each living our most fulfilling and authentic lives. We started this journey as best friends and our relationship will continue to be a priority not only for us but for our dog Charlie.' Fans were intrigued by her new flame and wanted to know more about Moreno after they were spotted together. Here's what there is to know about Moreno and his relationship with Snow so far. Moreno is a creative director, cinematographer, and photographer who has worked with celebrities like Selena Gomez, Cara Delevingne, Reneé Rapp, Machine Gun Kelly, Miley Cyrus, and brands like Vogue, Inkd Magazine, and Madewell. He started his career in Los Angeles, filming YouTube videos for growing influencers. He seems to have been working on directing more music videos in 2024, and was just nominated for a directing award at the People's Choice Country Awards. He also briefly dated Tana Mongeau in 2017, and they remain good friends, according to Perez Hilton. Moreno is the co-founder and creative director of Make Sure Your Friends Are OK, or MSYFAO. The organization sells merchandise and then donates a portion of the profits to mental health charities. In an episode of Recovering From Reality with Alexis Haines, he says he was inspired by his own struggles with mental health issues. Mental health is an important issue to Snow as well, who co-wrote a book titled September Letters about issues around mental well-being, partnering with the Mental Health Coalition. In January, Snow tagged Moreno in a series of photos taken of her for a Netflix press event, crediting him for photographing her. She wrote, 'I was asked to hang out a little bit with my friends at @nightagentnetflix. I got to be an agent and run around the streets of Bangkok. Weirdly, I did not wear this dress. 🤍* press for season 2 *' As of July 2025, the two still follow each other on Instagram, and Moreno has liked almost all her recent Instagrams. She also regularly likes his posts. No, as of August 2025, neither Moreno nor Snow has addressed speculation about their relationship.
