Red Hot Chili Peppers Rock Back Onto The Charts With A Signature Album
A little more than a quarter century ago, Red Hot Chili Peppers changed the sound of alternative music forever. The group, which by that point had already become hugely popular all around the world thanks to its signature funky, alternative style, released Californication in the summer of 1999. That set would go on to become not just one of the most famous by the outfit, but one of the most important titles in the rock subgenre. Decades later, Californication is back on the charts in the United Kingdom. Californication Reappears on Multiple Charts This week, the beloved full-length can be found on two rankings in the U.K., reappearing on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales charts. Californication returns at Nos. 93 and 97, respectively. Californication's Performance on Two Charts, Compared There are some stark differences between Californication's performance on the two charts. The title has risen highest on the Official Physical Albums ranking, where it peaked at No. 5, and where it has now spent 244 frames. That list looks only at full-lengths and EPs available on CD, vinyl, or cassette. On the general sales tally, the genre favorite has climbed as high as No. 21 and has racked up 61 stays. 'Scar Tissue,' 'Otherside" and 'Californication' In its heyday, Californication peaked at No. 5 on the Official Albums chart. In the 25 years since it was released, the project has been certified five times platinum in the U.K. for moving 1.5 million copies. Several smashes emerged from its tracklist, including 'Scar Tissue,' 'Otherside,' and the title track — all of which are still regarded as among the greatest in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' oeuvre. Greatest Hits by Red Hot Chili Peppers Two Red Hot Chili Peppers full-lengths appear on the charts in the U.K., but there is no crossover between the rankings on which they appear. As Californication becomes a bestseller again, the band's Greatest Hits surges on both the Official Albums Streaming and Official Albums rankings. That title is once again a top 40 win on both rosters, lifting to Nos. 30 and 35, respectively. 'Can't Stop' Rocks Back Into the Top 10 Even the sole Red Hot Chili Peppers song on a U.K. list is on the move in a positive direction. 'Can't Stop' jumps from No. 12 to No. 7 on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart, returning to the top 10 681 weeks into its time on the genre-specific sales roster.

Ione Skye Claimed She Had An Abortion With Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis When She Was 17 Years Old
Warning: This post includes discusses substance abuse issues. Ione Skye opened up about her past relationship with the frontman of the six-time Grammy Award-winning Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis. Ione is known for her roles in Cameron Crowe's 1989 classic Say Anything... with John Cusack and Wayne's World (1992). In her new book, Say Everything, Ione revealed intimate details of her life, including an "intimidating" story about Gwyneth Paltrow dating her brother, actor and singer Donovan Leitch, in the '90s. In her memoir, Ione also talked about her relationship with RHCP frontman Anthony Kiedis when he was 24 and she was only 16 years old. In the memoir, Ione revealed that her romance with the RHCP frontman was complicated by his heroin addiction. Once she became pregnant at 17, she ultimately made the painful decision not to keep the child. In Say Everything, Ione stated she was "the type of girl who'd wanted a baby since I was a baby, who used to fantasize about finding a swaddled infant on my doorstep or catching a flying ghost baby with a butterfly net." "But fantasizing was different from seeing," she wrote, "I couldn't see having a baby at this point." Ione had placed blame on herself for not being more cautious but doesn't regret her decision to have an abortion. "I was taking care of myself now, making a choice that felt good and important for my future," she wrote, according to the publication. "I would not have a baby at 17, with someone who didn't want to be a dad, wouldn't commit to me and had anger issues. Not to mention the heroin." Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagic Anthony Kiedis has been open about his struggles with drug addiction in the past, including in his 2004 autobiography Scar Tissue. He says he's been sober since 2000. Ione explained to People that she was nervous about revealing everything in the memoir but felt that taking control of the narrative was important. "These girls on TikTok were saying things like, 'How could my mom let me be with Anthony?'" she said. "And I sort of clapped back, not in an aggressive way, but I was like, 'Well, my mom was really upset that I was with a rockstar like Anthony Kiedis.' And I don't know, I kind of started feeling like I was able to tell my side of the story, and I had a lot to tell."
