Doechii Scores A New No. 1 With A Half-Decade-Old Song
Doechii's viral hit 'Anxiety' debuts at No. 1 on the U.K.'s Official Vinyl Singles and Physical ... More Singles charts, driven by limited edition vinyl sales. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 05: Doechii attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/FilmMagic) Doechii's song 'Anxiety' has experienced quite the unusual journey. The singer and rapper first shared the tune, which is built around a prominent sample of 'Somebody That I Used to Know' by Gotye and Kimbra, in 2019, when she was still working to become well-known. At the time, it didn't pick up much traction, but die-hard fans never forgot the track. Earlier this year, following her performance at the Grammy Awards and her win for Best Rap Album, the song began to go viral. Doechii wisely re-recorded the composition and officially released it as a single, and it didn't take long for 'Anxiety' to rise into the top 10 on rankings all around the world. Just when it seemed the cut might finally be finished with its chart run, it surges once again, giving the hip-hop superstar another winner. 'Anxiety' Debuts at No. 1 'Anxiety' arrives at No. 1 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart in the United Kingdom this frame. The tune opens atop the tally thanks to its recent release on various limited edition colored wax pressings all around the globe. With this new win, Doechii replaces 'I Miss You, I'm Sorry' by Gracie Abrams, which also took its time climbing to the summit. Doechii's Track Record Remains Perfect Doechii has only ever sent two songs to the Official Vinyl Singles chart, and as 'Anxiety' arrives in first place, her track record remains flawless. In April, 'Denial Is a River' also reached the top space, spending two weeks on the tally before flowing away. 'Anxiety' Hits No. 1 on the Physical Chart Thanks to its vinyl release, 'Anxiety' also rockets to No. 1 on the Official Physical Singles chart, vaulting from No. 24 to the peak position. The track earns the hip-hop powerhouse her second No. 1 on the tally, as it likewise follows 'Denial is a River' on this ranking. Sales Push 'Anxiety' Up Another Tally Purchases of 'Anxiety' skyrocketed in the U.K. recently thanks to the vinyl pressing. That uptick is reflected on the Official Singles Sales chart, where the cut bolts from No. 92 to No. 29 in its nineteenth frame on the roster.

Want to perform at Outside Lands? Here's your chance
Outside Lands is debuting a new stage next month, and festivalgoers will get to be some of the first to perform on it. The three-day Golden Gate Park music festival, set to take place from Aug. 8-10, plans to allow a select few ticket holders to perform on its new Duboce Triangle stage, which is nestled in the eucalyptus trees of McLaren Pass, through an advance open mic contest. These daily fan-inclusive sets, also hosted by Rainbow Girls, will kick off the new stage's programming each afternoon. After each day's opening set, attendees can expect performances by artists such as folk singer Kate Bollinger, rapper Lexa Gates and alternative group Bay Ledges. DJ sets will include TikTok singer-songwriter INJI, singer and producer Mayer Hawthorne and genre-bending duo Paco Versailles. Named after the famed San Francisco neighborhood that is situated between the Castro and Eureka Valley, the Duboce Triangle stage is the latest in a string of new attractions that Outside Lands organizers have been incorporating into the festival over the past few years. This year's festival will see the return of fan favorites including Dolores', an inclusive dance floor that celebrates queer and trans communities; SOMA, an open-air space for fans of electronic dance music to let loose; the Latin dance music space, Casa Bacardí; and the marriage venue, City Hall. Rapper Tyler, the Creator, hip-hop artist Doja Cat and folk singer Hozier are set to headline the annual music festival, which also features 'Anxiety' rapper Doechii, rock group Vampire Weekend and singer-songwriter Finneas on its lineup.

Lady Gaga calls Doechii's songwriting ‘legendary'
Lady Gaga has officially joined the growing list of Doechii admirers, and she isn't being subtle about it. In British Vogue's August 2025 issue, Gaga offered high praise for the 26-year-old rapper, calling her songwriting 'immediately legendary' and lauding her vulnerability and lyrical precision. 'You don't often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary,' Gaga wrote in an emailed statement to the magazine. 'That's Doechii to me.' She went on to describe falling in love with Doechii's music, pointing to the raw power and honesty that define the rising star's work. Doechii's breakout track 'Anxiety,' a deeply personal top-10 single, has resonated with fans around the world, including Gaga, who connected with the track's themes of mental health and emotional struggle. Doechii's 2024 mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal also explores heavy topics like drug use and denial, particularly on the standout song 'Denial is a River'. The admiration is mutual. Doechii has long credited Lady Gaga as a key inspiration. In March, she presented Gaga with the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, calling her music a 'lifeline' and later posting a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. 'Pop pioneer, music innovator, ICON, Mother of all monsters, we love youuuuuu,' she wrote. In a whirlwind year filled with accolades, collaborations, and chart success, the co-sign from one of pop's most iconic figures stands out as a career-defining moment. Doechii's artistry continues to break barriers, and Gaga's glowing words only affirm what her fans already knew, she's a generational talent.

Glastonbury shut stage down ahead of rappers' performance as they struggle with overcrowding again
GLASTONBURY Festival is dealing with a new overcrowding issue after declaring fans to AVOID one of the major stages. As Neil Young took to the main Pyramid stage as the headliner of the evening, pop fans have ditched the rocker in favour of other acts. Advertisement Charli XCX is set to perform on the Other Stage at 10.30pm, while American rapper Doechii will appear on the third biggest stage, Woodsies, at 10.45pm. 5 Glastonbury has come under fire for its crowd control Credit: Getty 5 Doechii is set to close the Woodsies tent at 10.45 Credit: Getty 5 As Neil Young took to the main Pyramid stage, thousands flocked to the Other Stage and Woodsies instead Credit: PA However, nearly an hour before the set was due to start, the crowd at Woodsies had got so big that they were forced to close access. The team simply posted a message on X (formerly Twitter), declaring: "No access to Woodsies. Please head to another area of the site - thank you." Doechii – who has topped the charts this year with her songs Denial Is A River and Anxiety – is still set to perform as planned. Advertisement This is the second time Woodsies has been forced to shut down for crowd control – with Lorde's early Friday morning surprise set also causing chaos. The New Zealand singer appeared on stage to celebrate the release of her new album, Virgin, in a last minute appearance. So the news came as a massive annoyance to ticketholders, who have criticised the team for poor organisation. They've been particularly critical of putting big names like Charli XCX and Doechii against each other on the line-up, and on smaller stages that don't have the capacity needed for the crowd. Advertisement "Terrible programming throughout, you need a massive re think for your next festival," wrote one. "doechii and charli clashing at glasto is EVIL WORK!!" said another. Glastonbury chaos as bosses are forced to SHUT part of festival as Lorde performs surprise set "Glastonbury really looked at all the vibrant amazing young artists around and said "nah, lets pump the big slots full of elderly white men". I'm not being funny but I'm struggling to stay awake for Doechii watching Neil Young..." noted a third. And a fourth said: "It's full to capacity? Nobody's at the Pyramid Stage for Neil Young. Everyone is either at Woodsies or the Other Stage for Charli XCX Advertisement "Glastonbury has shit the bed a bit here. Field packed for Charli XCX. Woodsies closed an hour ahead of time for Scissor Sisters. Doechii still to come. Pyramid very sparse for Neil Young. Meanwhile PULP do an hour in the afternoon and fill the space" 5 Glastonbury organisers have urged attendees not to go to the Woodsies stage Credit: Getty
