Kendrick Lamar Beats His Competition With More Top 10s Than Any Other Act
Kendrick Lamar is having another massive week on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart in the U.K., which ranks the bestselling tunes that touch either of those genres. This time around, he stands alone, as he claims a trio of smashes inside the uppermost region — something no other artist currently manages.
Kendrick Lamar's Trio of Top 10 Hits
Lamar is the only musician with three hits present inside the top 10 on the current edition of the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. "All the Stars," one of his collaborations with SZA, is his highest-ranking win, as it sits at No. 7. That's an impressive placement, considering it's the oldest of the bunch.
"Not Like Us" rises one spot to No. 8, while "Luther," another song with SZA, returns to the region as it ascends from No. 11 to No. 10.
'Not Like Us,' 'All the Stars' and 'Luther'
Both "Not Like Us" and "All the Stars" have already spent well over a year on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. "Luther" hasn't yet had that chance, but the collaboration will likely become another year-long winner for both SZA and Lamar once enough time has passed. It's currently up to 32 frames on the tally as it finds its way back inside the top 10.
SZA and Skye Newman's Pair of Top 10s
Two artists trail Lamar with a pair of top 10s apiece. SZA does so thanks to her work with her longtime friend, while newcomer Skye Newman sits in the runner-up spot with "Family Matters" while "Hairdresser" makes a home at No. 4.
The Weeknd and Chris Brown Join Kendrick Lamar
Looking at the full 40 spaces on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart, four acts see a trio of tunes take up space. Lamar and SZA are joined by The Weeknd and Chris Brown, who also manage the feat at the moment. Neither The Weeknd nor Brown appear inside the top 10, though both sit just a few spaces beneath the uppermost tier.

‘Coyote vs. Acme' Finally Reveals a Release Date at Comic-Con
If the long, twist-filled 'Coyote vs. Acme' fight for a release was 'It's a Wonderful Life,' then Ketchup Entertainment would be all the townspeople at the end (79-year-old spoiler) chipping in to make sure George Bailey doesn't go under. That's as far as the analogy goes, though film fans can easily guess who is Mr. Potter in this scenario. Regardless, the townspeople have won the day, and 'Coyote vs. Acme' is indeed on its way — finally — with a theatrical release set for August 28, 2026. To sum things up as quickly as possible: the $70 million live-action/animated movie was one of a few (paging 'Batgirl') that were shelved in 2023 as tax write-offs for Warner Bros. (to the tune of $30 million), even though the movie had tested well. After a fan outcry, the film was put up for sale to other studios… but then it quickly was dead in the water again, when nobody met the price WB wanted. A cast and crew funeral screening was even held for the movie. It was dead. George Bailey was going to jump off the bridge. More from IndieWire How 'Oh, Hi!' Makes Doomscrolling Funny What If 'The Virgin Suicides' Felt More Like a Cursed Object? Try the Feverish 'Honeycomb' for Summer Enter Clarence- eh… 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Toons Movie,' which Ketchup distributed, though it was only set for a streaming HBO Max (or Max at the time) release. They then made a deal earlier this year for 'Coyote vs. Acme,' which the film's star Will Forte expressed relief over earlier this year, telling THR, 'I never thought it would happen so it just came out of nowhere and I'm so thrilled,' he said. 'Thank you Ketchup Entertainment, I'm so excited for people to see this movie. I'm gonna promote the crap out of it, just tell me what you want me to do and I'll go, I'll do whatever — go to the top of Mount Everest, I'm there.' So the film's San Diego Comic-Con panel, to say the least, was hotly anticipated. And Ketchup did not disappoint. 'This movie wasn't suppose to come out,' panel moderator Paul Scheer said (via Deadline). 'I heard Warner Bros wouldn't release the film — I've never heard of Warner Bros! This is really an Acme decision and I'm saying that for legal purposes.' The even had 'an Acme lawyer' appear, attempting to halt the film's release. 'These are cease and desist papers from the Acme Corporation. You do not have permission to share information and footage from this anti-Acme film. Please leave the stage,' the performer said, then addressed a cosplaying audience member, 'As a copyrighted costume, sir, please disrobe.' May the other shelved Warner Bros. properties — which also includes another animated film 'Scoob! Holiday Haunt' — one day find such a rebirth. Until then, they await discovery at the Island of Misfit Toys. But that is another analogy for another day. Until then, check out 'Coyote vs. Acme' in theaters August 28, 2026.

Comic-Con goes interstellar with 'Project Hail Mary,' 'Star Trek' updates
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Comic-Con is headed to space for its third day. Saturday's biggest presentations at the pop culture extravaganza will be for 'Project Hail Mary,' which stars Ryan Gosling on an interstellar mission to save humanity, and for the next series in the 'Star Trek' franchise. Fans are also getting a sneak peek at 'Coyote vs. ACME,' a hybrid live-action and animated project that was shelved by Warner Bros. in a cost-cutting move but will get a theatrical release in 2026. The movie features John Cena, who is also a star of the DC series 'Peacemaker,' which will have a presentation Saturday in Comic-Con's massive Hall H. 'Project Hail Mary' is an adaptation of the book by Martin Weir, whose book 'The Martian' was adapted by Ridley Scott in 2015. An estimated 135,000 people — many in costumes — are expected to attend Comic-Con 2025, which runs through Sunday in downtown San Diego. So far, fans have gotten previews of 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2,'the upcoming FX series 'Alien: Earth' and 'Predator: Badlands,' which will be in theaters in November. 'Coyote vs. Acme' coming to theaters in August 2026 Wile E. Coyote is getting his day in court – and theaters. The stars of 'Coyote vs. Acme' delivered a rousing presentation of a movie that at one point wasn't going to be released. The underdog story – both of the movie and Coyote – was a running theme of the panel. But rather than direct ire at Warner Bros., the real-world studio that shelved the project, the panel focused on the fictional Acme Corp. 'This is purely an Acme decision … and I am saying this for legal purposes,' moderator Paul Scheer said at the start of the panel. The movie is a hybrid of animation and live action and is based on a 1990 New Yorker article that satirized a legal complaint filed by Coyote against Acme, the maker of the TNT, detonators, rocket shoes, catapults and other products that consistently backfire during the Coyote's fruitless attempts to catch the Roadrunner. Laughter filled Hall H, the massive 6,000-seat venue as fans watched a montage of Coyote being blown up, flattened and falling into chasms in a scene set to Johnny Cash's cover of 'Hurt.' Coyote is replaying the moments in his lair when an ad for a personal injury lawyer appears on TV. They also played six minutes of the movie, including a scene of opening statements in the case in which Coyote's lawyer, Will Forte, accidentally unleashes a rocket skate into the courtroom, setting Coyote and the judge's robes on fire. John Cena plays a slick Acme lawyer who wins over the jury, which includes a cartoon character, quickly. Forte said he didn't think the movie would ever get to audiences. 'I'm pretty speechless. You think back to the journey that this movie has taken. I had kind of given up hope at a certain point,' Forte said. At one point, his comments were interrupted by a man playing an Acme lawyer who stormed into Hall H with cease-and-desist letters. Director Dave Green said the movie conforms to famed animator Chuck Jones' rules for the struggle between the Coyote and Roadrunner, which include the bird always staying on the road and the Coyote being ultimately more humiliated than hurt when he falls, is crushed or gets blown up by TNT. The movie, which features cameos from numerous Looney Tunes characters like Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety and Bugs Bunny, will be released on Aug. 28, 2026. Ketchup Entertainment teamed up with Warner Bros. on the film and in the release of 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie.'
