Morgan Wallen's new album dominates Billboard with ‘What I Want' featuring Tate McRae at No. 1
Morgan Wallen's latest track, What I Want, featuring Tate McRae, has made a huge splash by debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The pop ballad, which sees Wallen and McRae harmonizing about an on-again, off-again relationship, helped propel Wallen's new album, I'm The Problem, to the top of the Billboard 200 as well. The album's success marks a major milestone for the country artist, whose release garnered 31.2 million streams in its opening week and claimed the largest debut of 2025 with 493,000 units earned, surpassing The Weeknd's January album launch. What I Want marks Wallen's fourth Hot 100 No. 1 hit, while it is McRae's first time at the top, following her successful track 'Greedy' that peaked at No. 3 earlier this year. The song is part of Wallen's two-hour-long album, which also features other chart-toppers like Just in Case and I'm The Problem. The overwhelming success of the album comes on the back of record-breaking numbers for streaming, where it leads the year with 462.63 million on-demand streams. -Instagram.

Selection squeeze at Collingwood as stars set to return
Rampaging Collingwood are set to get even stronger as they welcome back up to five stars for their clash with Hawthorn. After handling North Melbourne on Saturday night amid some late changes, the Magpies are closing in on a full-strength unit. Premiership heroes Scott Pendlebury (illness), Bobby Hill (personal reasons), Steele Sidebottom (managed), Darcy Moore (shoulder), along with small forward Lachie Schultz (concussion) are set to be recalled for Friday night's MCG showdown against the Hawks. "All good to go. And we're excited for that," Magpies coach Craig McRae said of the returning guns. "We stand here with a great performance on the weekend through guys coming in, doing the job. "Then the excitement is that you wake up in the morning with some really important magnets to come back." McRae conceded making so many changes in one week could come at a "cost", but was willing to risk the rewards. Debutant Will Hayes, and Oleg Markov and Wil Parker, all made solid contributions in the 45-point win against the Kangaroos. But there will be a selection squeeze coming, and that trio is likely to make way. "There's a reality that some would know that ... not so much last in, first out, it doesn't work like that," McRae said. "We want to keep rewarding behaviour around here and guys playing really well at the VFL level. "Those conversations are always difficult, but you're having many of them on the way." There was even positive news for defender Brayden Maynard, who could miss as little as one week with a fractured plantar fascia. Maynard was subbed out against Collingwood, with initial fears he could be sidelined long-term. But the 28-year-old will only miss one or two games. There is also hope forward Dan McStay will return from a lengthy knee injury for Collingwood's King's Birthday match against Melbourne. "He's got an injury that potentially helps him," McRae said. "He's had this plantar fascia thing that's been grumbling for a long time, over 12 months, and he's pretty much snapped all that now. "He's pain free. "He's got a little bit of scar tissue that may require a week to rest, maybe two at max. "Just chatting to him, he can't believe the difference in his pain. "So as much as having a week or so off, it's potentially bad for the team, it's got to be good long-term." Maynard became the fourth Magpies player to suffer plantar fascia issues recently, something the club is investigating. "Apparently it's an industry issue as well because our research high performance team tells us that," McRae said. "We've got a person in that's doing a great job ... we're doing things that we haven't done before. "We're in a process of trying to make sure that it's not an issue."

Tate McRae, Glasgow review: 'all the right poses'
This was undoubtedly a slick performance from Tate McRae, but something was missing, writes Fiona Shepherd Sign up to our Arts and Culture newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Tate McRae, Hydro, Glasgow ★★★ The audience decibel level was high in the Hydro for Canadian pop star Tate McRae, the 21-year-old singer/songwriter/dancer making a play as the next Dua Lipa with music which makes all the right noises, a performance which struck all the right poses and a stage set with all the right moving parts. What was missing through all the hair tossing and pouty attitude was any great sense of warmth or sincerity in her delivery and any originality or personality in her turbo-charged electro pop. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But for her target market of teenage girls, screaming in recognition to every song at what could well be their first arena concert experience, this Miss Possessive Tour was a year zero epiphany. The entire set-up was austere, with McRae and her eight dancers strutting in mechanically sexy mode on hydraulic platforms illuminated by banks of simple but dramatic spot lighting. At least her live drummer and guitarist provided some propulsive clatter and costume change-covering shredding. McRae is a better dancer than singer. Her vocals were shrouded in effects but there was nowhere to hide with the moves and she hit her mark on every occasion, whether wielding a walking cane in a wind tunnel or staying cool while all around her descended into a writhing group lapdance. Much of the early part of her show comprised sultry electro R&B, with Guilty Conscience standing out as the strongest pop hook. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Tate McRae PIC:
