Miley Cyrus Almost Hits No. 1 With Her New Album — But One Star Blocks Her
After months of promotion and teasing her latest musical era, Miley Cyrus has finally released her new album, Something Beautiful. The set arrived on Friday (May 30), and quickly became a top seller on iTunes. As of the time of writing, however, it hasn't yet become the top seller in America. Something Beautiful currently lies at No. 2 on the iTunes Top Albums chart, which ranks the bestselling full-lengths and EPs on the platform in the U.S. Only one effort, I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen, keeps it from becoming the ultimate champion. That country project soared to the summit more than a week ago when it was brand new and has largely led the charge ever since. I'm the Problem, which debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week, is headed for a second stay on the throne of that ranking and could continue to lead the charge for several more frames – perhaps even beating Cyrus to the peak position in a number of days. Cyrus might not hit No. 1 – at least not yet – but she does claim the top-selling debut on iTunes in the U.S. this Friday. Joining her inside the top 10 are new projects from South Korean group The Rose, which launches WRLD at No. 6, while alternative rock outfit Garbage starts Let All That We Imagine Be the Light one space below at No. 7. Over on the iTunes Top Songs tally, Cyrus fills seven of the 200 available spaces. Fans appear to be purchasing the project in its entirety rather than buying individual tracks, so not all tunes from the new album appear. Of the five charting cuts from Something Beautiful, lead single "End of the World" is the highest rising, jumping more than 20 spaces to No. 66. Fellow album cuts "More to Lose" and "Easy Lover" settle at Nos. 84 and 85, respectively, while prerelease promotional cuts "Something Beautiful" and "Prelude" reenter the tally at Nos. 160 and 189. Beloved past smashes by Cyrus also continue to sell well, as they are perhaps buoyed by all the excitement around Something Beautiful. "The Climb" and "Flowers" sit just below the No. 100 mark in the lower half of the list, and the fact that they are outselling some of her just-released cuts is certainly noteworthy.

Music Review: The rock band Garbage are defiant on new album, ‘Let All That We Imagine Be the Light'
Buzz-saw guitars, dense synthesizers and throbbing percussion can sometimes brighten the mood. That's the goal of the new album from the American rock band Garbage, 'Let All That We Imagine Be the Light.' Due for release Friday, it's the sound of frontwoman Shirley Manson pushed to the brink by health issues and the fury of our times.

Music Review: The rock band Garbage are defiant on new album, 'Let All That We Imagine Be the Light'
Buzz-saw guitars, dense synthesizers and throbbing percussion can sometimes brighten the mood. That's the goal of the new album from the American rock band Garbage, 'Let All That We Imagine Be the Light.' Due for release Friday, it's the sound of frontwoman Shirley Manson pushed to the brink by health issues and the fury of our times. The band's familiar sonic mix provides a pathway out of the darkness, with heavy riffing and dramatic atmospherics accompanying Manson's alluring alto. 'This is a cold cruel world,' she sings on the crunchy 'Love to Give.' 'You've gotta find the love where you can get it.' The album is Garbage's eighth and the first since 2021's 'No Gods No Masters.' The genesis came last August, when Manson aggravated an old hip injury, abruptly ending the band's world tour. The other members of the group – Butch Vig, Duke Erikson and Steve Marker – retreated to the studio and began work on new music. Manson added lyrics that lament fatalism, ageism and sexism, acknowledge vulnerability and mortality, and seek to embrace joy, love and empowerment. That's a lot, which may be why there's a song titled 'Sisyphus.' The sonics are formidable, too. A mix that echoes the Shangri-Las, Patti Smith and Evanescence helps to leaven the occasional overripe lyric, such as, 'There is no future that can't be designed/With imagination and a beautiful mind," in the title track. Most of the material is less New Age-y, and there's a fascinating desperation in Manson's positivity. 'Chinese Fire Horse,' for example, becomes a punky, Gen X, age-defying fist-pumper. 'But I've still got the power in my brain and my body/I'll take no (expletive) from you,' she sings. Manson sounds just as defiant singing about a love triangle on 'Have We Met (The Void),' or mourning in America on 'There's No Future in Optimism.' The album peaks on the backside with the back-to-back cuts 'Get Out My Face AKA Bad Kitty,' a battle cry in the gender war, and 'R U Happy Now,' a ferocious post-election rant. Then comes the closer, 'The Day That I Met God,' a weird and whimsical benedictory mix of horns, strings, faith, pain management and more. Hope and uplift can sound good loud.
