Olivia Rodrigo's Former No. 1 Is A Bestseller Again
Olivia Rodrigo has been sending mixed signals to her massive fan base lately when it comes to new music. In March, she shared a photo montage featuring musical instruments like keyboards and an electric guitar, hinting that she was hard at work on her next chapter. But not long afterward, in April, she posted a carousel of images from her vacation in Marrakesh, Morocco, captioning it simply: 'everywhere. but that damn studio.' That message could mean she's taking a break from creating— or that she's spent so much time in the studio recently, she's now happy to escape it. As fans continue to wait for what might be coming next from the Grammy winner, many in the United Kingdom are revisiting one of her biggest hits. They're not just streaming it, either, but buying the cut once more. Rodrigo scores a commercial win – again – with 'Vampire,' a tune that listeners in that country just can't seem to get enough of. This week, 'Vampire' reappears on two purchase-focused rankings in the U.K. It returns at No. 55 on the Official Singles Sales chart, which highlights the bestselling tunes across all genres and formats, whether digital storefronts or physical offerings. The same cut also shows up on the Official Singles Downloads tally, where it lands at No. 79. 'Vampire' has previously topped the Official Singles Sales chart, but narrowly missed ruling the downloads-only tally. Instead, it peaked in third place. The cut has now logged 46 frames on the Official Singles Downloads roster and 50 stays — just shy of a full year, a milestone it will likely reach at some point in 2025 — on the Official Singles Sales list. 'Vampire' stands as Rodrigo's longest-charting win on both of these U.K. tallies, and it continues to further its lead over her previous singles every time it returns. Her next-longest-running favorites on the lists are 'Good 4 U' and 'Driver's License,' both of which have racked up more than 30 weeks on the two rankings.

Sligo garden designer will feature show garden at Bloom while also giving wellness talks
The festival expects to welcome over 100,000 visitors across its 70-acre site, which will play host to 21 spectacular new show gardens at the centre of the experience. Sligo designer Leonie Cornelius is back at Bord Bia Bloom with her sixth show garden, Noūrish – The Caragh Nurseries Garden. Offering a sanctuary of balance and healing, this courtyard-style garden will blend architecture with wild nature to reconnect us with the natural world. The garden will invite visitors to slow down, restore, and rediscover pleasure in nature. Leonie will also give daily wellness talks, Gardening for Wild + Well, on her vision for wild integration to everyday life while the stage itself will be framed by Leonie's own, hive-design planters filled with colourful, pollinator-friendly plants to keep the Garden Stage, sponsored by Zarbee's 'The natural world teaches us about cycles, patience and resilience. This is what I will be exploring as part of my talks at the Garden Stage - the power of the wild and the realisation that we can take powerful cues from nature to heal - the importance of slowing down to smell the roses, literally and metaphorically. I think that in a time when so many people feel burnt out or unbalanced, I wanted to have conversations around how nature can reconnect and re-align us with those rhythms,' says Leonie. Gardening for Wild + Well Sessions with Leonie will take place daily at 1:45pm at the Garden Stage.. Meanwhile, visitors to Bloom can meet 100+ of Ireland's top food and craft drink producers at the Food Village including Sligo business Good4U. Good4U are makers of natural functional foods. It produces a range of Salad Toppers, Breakfast Boost and Protein Balls, all 100% natural, plant based, nut free, gluten free with no added sugar. There will also be delicious food from plenty of food trucks, the BBQ Bliss area or Bloom's four on-site restaurants: The Garden View Restaurant, Bistro Bloom, Country Crest Restaurant and The Seafood Terrace. New for this year is 'A Taste of Bloom, curated by Neven' a three-course dining experience celebrating quality Irish produce designed exclusively by chef Neven Maguire for Bloom. Green-fingered visitors can also enjoy the perfectly formed petite Postcard Gardens supported by Tirlán CountryLife, breathtaking plants in the Nursery Village and The Plant Emporium, live demonstrations and interactive workshops including floral crown making in the Botanical Hub, and exhibitions of Botanical and Floral Art and AOIFA's (Association of Irish Floral Artists) Floral Art Competition. In addition, popular features will return along with some exciting new demonstrations, panel discussions, talks and performances. These include The Plant Emporium, live demonstrations and interactive workshops including floral crown making in the new Botanical Hub, and exhibitions of Botanical and Floral Art and AOIFA's (Association of Irish Floral Artists) Floral Art Competition.
