Jethro Tull Scores A Second New Hit Album In Just As Many Months
Jethro Tull is quietly having one of its most successful years in recent memory. The legendary rock act is back on the charts this week with another collection, and this latest win continues what's quickly becoming a noteworthy streak. With two bestselling efforts in just the first half of 2025 alone, the band clearly maintains a solid fan base to this day, which is incredibly difficult for any group.
Jethro Tull's Songs From the Vault – 1975–1978 debuts at No. 17 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. The ranking, which tracks the U.K.'s top-selling full-lengths and EPs across all corners of the rock spectrum, is once again home to one of the more prolific names in progressive rock.
With Songs From the Vault, Jethro Tull earns its twenty-eighth appearance on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. Impressively, it's the act's second placement on the tally in 2025 alone. Just last month, the group's latest studio full-length Ruminations debuted at No. 1 on the same list. That effort spent five consecutive frames on the ranking before stepping aside—just in time for this archival project to take its place.
This week is a crowded one on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. But even so, Songs From the Vault still claims one of the top debuts of the week, coming in as the tenth-highest new title on the roster. The band lands just behind brand new releases from some of the genre's heaviest hitters, including Those Damn Crows, Epica, Rage Against the Machine, Black Sabbath, and Motörhead. Even Post Malone appears on the chart this frame in a first for the superstar.
Songs From the Vault is not another greatest hits repackage. The double LP, which was released as part of Record Store Day, features more than 20 tracks, many of which are making their vinyl debut. Pulled from recording sessions that took place across a pivotal four-year period, the collection highlights rarities, alternate versions, and deep cuts that hardcore fans will appreciate.

AC/DC's Hit Songs Are All Rising Together
AC/DC claims four climbing hits on the U.K.'s Official Rock & Metal Singles chart this week — and they're all rising — led by 'Thunderstruck' at No. 4. UNITED KINGDOM - AUGUST 01: CAMDEN Photo of AC DC and Malcolm YOUNG and Cliff WILLIAMS and Bon SCOTT and Angus YOUNG and AC/DC and Phil RUDD, L-R: Malcolm Young, Bon Scott, Angus Young, Cliff Williams, Phil Rudd - posed, studio, group shot (Photo by Fin Costello/Redferns) Redferns Anytime a singer or band sees a hit song from years past rise on charts in any country, it's a reason to celebrate. So much of the music industry and the media around it is built upon generating excitement for what's brand new or what's coming soon. Only a relatively small number of acts have released at least one tune — if not several — that can still appear on charts years or decades after an initial promotional heyday. A very lucky few have seen multiple tunes score second lives or, in some cases, never disappear entirely. AC/DC is one such name. The Australian rock outfit is one of the bestselling of all time, but its commercial success isn't limited to the past. The band regularly appears on charts in a number of Western nations, both with popular albums and songs, and this frame is especially thrilling for both the group and its fans, as it seems that interest in everything AC/DC is growing in the United Kingdom. AC/DC has four songs on the charts in the U.K. this week. All of them appear on the Official Rock & Metal Singles tally, and somehow, each and every one of them climbs from where it sat just a few days ago. The group's biggest hit in the country at the moment is 'Thunderstruck,' which is often the case. That tune lifts to No. 4, up one spot. Also present on the U.K.'s ranking of the bestselling tracks that can be classified as any form of rock or metal are 'Back in Black,' 'Highway to Hell,' and 'You Shook Me All Night Long.' Each of those tunes lifts at least one spot, and they settle at Nos. 15, 22, and 33, respectively. Three of AC/DC's four current wins on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart have hit No. 1. Only 'You Shook Me All Night Long' missed out on the throne, and it didn't miss by much, as it stalled in the runner-up spot. It is also the AC/DC tune with the shortest lifespan of the four that are currently found on the tally, though the smash has still managed to live on the list for well over a decade. 'Thunderstruck,' 'Back in Black,' and 'Highway to Hell' have already passed 600 weeks on the ranking, and they add to those sums consistently. 'Back in Black,' 'Highway to Hell,' and 'You Shook Me All Night Long' are only present on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, while 'Thunderstruck' is a bestseller on several other lists at the same time. That track dips on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales rankings, declining to Nos. 64 and 67, respectively.

Lana Del Rey Vs. Ethel Cain—The Feud, Explained
Ethel Cain performs on stage at Heaven during 'The Freezer Bride Tour' on December 07, 2022 in London, England. (Photo by Gus Stewart/Redferns) Redferns Lana Del Rey's latest song has been interpreted by fans as a diss against Ethel Cain, sparking rumors of a feud between the two singers. On August 13, Lana Del Rey posted an Instagram reel captioned 'Track 13,' featuring a sample of her unreleased song, which contains the line, 'Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post, reenacting my Chicago pose.' Del Rey also mentions 'The most famous girl in the Waffle House,' which appears to be a reference to a 2022 New York Times profile of Cain titled 'The Most Famous Girl in the Waffle House.' The song instantly sparked rumors of a feud between the two singers—fans reckoned that Del Rey's vague lyrics had something to do with Cain's friendship with Del Rey's ex, Salem musician Jack Donoghue. Del Rey and Cain both posted photos posing with Donoghue in 2022, with the former posing in front of a prison in Chicago, which seems to explain the accusation against Cain 'reenacting my Chicago pose.' Meanwhile, Swifties were under the impression that Del Rey was actually beefing with Taylor Swift, because her song sample was posted on the same day that Swift unveiled her upcoming album, 'The Life of a Showgirl.' Swifties, who are used to decoding hidden messages from their favorite pop star, reckoned that Del Rey labeling her song 'Track 13' and posting it on August 13 was a reference to Swift's lucky number, which is 13. However, Swifties seem to have misread the tea leaves, as Del Rey soon elaborated, rather bafflingly, in the comments section of a Pop Base Instagram post, clarifying that she had an issue with Cain. 'I didn't know who Ethel was until a few years ago — when someone brought to my attention the disturbing and graphic side-by-side images she would often put up of me next to unflattering creatures and cartoon characters making constant comments about my weight, I was confused at what she was getting at,' Del Rey wrote. 'Then when I heard what she was saying behind closed doors from mutual friends and started inserting herself into my personal life I was definitely disturbed.' Del Rey's claim about Cain comparing her to cartoon characters inspired fans to search the web for evidence, and several screenshots of bizarre posts featuring Family Guy's Peter Griffin have surfaced. None have been confirmed as coming from Cain, so the story is still murky. Cain then posted an Instagram story claiming that Del Rey had blocked her on Instagram. Ethel Cain And Lana Del Rey Fans Fight On Social Media Fans of the feuding singers started attacking each other all across social media, and the beef quickly got heated. Nicki Minaj seemed to be on team Del Rey, writing that she had 'been singing 'Ethel cain hated my instagram post' all morning,' but admitted that she had no idea who Cain was. Azealia Banks, a hardened veteran of many, many online feuds, reckoned that Del Rey fans were being transphobic (as Ethel Cain is a trans woman), while others saw both camps as punching down. Of course, fans also posted jokes and memes, with most seeming to enjoy the drama. Some delighted in explaining the feud to their boyfriends. Obviously, many made comparisons to the infamous Kendrick vs. Drake feud. Del Rey and Cain have been compared to each other for several years, as both create melancholic melodies and nostalgic, Americana-laced music videos, but Cain doesn't seem to see any resemblance. Cain has repeatedly pushed back against the comparison, describing Del Rey's image as the 'peak opulence of the American Dream,' and her own art as representative of America's working class, the 'people who are constantly spat on.' 'For me, the American Dream is not real,' Cain told Hero Magazine. 'And if it is, it's built on the backs of all the people who never see any profit.' Fans are waiting to see if Cain will deliver a response—perhaps she's already in the recording studio.
