Lizzo's New Single Finally Becomes A Hit, With Some Help From A Major Pop Star
Lizzo's 'Still Bad' debuts at No. 11 on Digital Song Sales after a duet with Kelly Clarkson, marking ... More her first chart hit in over a year. ROSKILDE, DENMARK - JULY 01: Lizzo performs at Roskilde Festival 2023 on July 01, 2023 in Roskilde, Denmark. (Photo by Joseph Okpako/WireImage) It's been well over two months since Lizzo released her most recent single, "Still Bad." The track was a commercial disappointment in its earliest days, as the singer, songwriter and rapper was surely hoping it would become a major hit and kick off her latest album campaign, as she's currently hyping the world for her forthcoming Love in Real Life. But sadly, that didn't turn out to be the case. Long after the tune was shared with the public, it finally becomes a bestseller in America, thanks to an assist from another one of the most successful women in pop music. "Still Bad" debuts at No. 11 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart this week. That tally ranks the bestselling cuts on platforms like iTunes and Amazon, and this time around, that includes Lizzo's most recent offering. Luminate reports that in the past tracking period, "Still Bad" sold just under 2,700 copies. "Still Bad" may be new to the Digital Song Sales chart, but as mentioned, it's not actually very new as far as pop music goes. Lizzo's cut experiences a 286% gain in pure purchases from one frame to the next. Just days ago, it ended a tracking period with 700 sales — and the following stint, it adds about 2,000 to that sum. "Still Bad" experiences such a boom after Kelly Clarkson invited Lizzo onto her daytime talk show to perform the tune. The singers turned it into a duet earlier this month, but it's Lizzo who enjoys the spoils on the Billboard rankings, as Clarkson doesn't earn credit on the cut. "Still Bad" earns Lizzo her twelfth placement on the Digital Song Sales tally, and her first since 2023. In August of that year, "Pink," the song she wrote and recorded for the Barbie soundtrack, peaked at No. 22. "Still Bad" has already been present on one Billboard ranking for more than two months. This frame, it drops seven spaces to No. 37 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart in its tenth stay on that radio roster. The tune previously peaked at No. 21.

Denmark's museum objects at risk from ‘extreme' new mould, say conservators
A new type of 'extreme' mould is sweeping through Denmark's museums, threatening some of the nation's most important paintings and cultural objects, conservators have warned. Described as an 'epidemic for Golden Age paintings', the highly resistant mould covers objects in a white coating and has been detected in 12 of the country's museums, including the National Museum of Denmark and Skagens Museum. Known as aspergillus section restricti , it belongs to a group of fungi that can survive in extreme environments such as the deep ocean or near volcanoes. 'It's quite a large problem because these fungi they deteriorate museum artefacts, materials, they decimate enzymes and assets, deteriorating museum objects, so it will damage them,' said Camilla Jul Bastholm, who is the head of conservation and collection storage at the National Museum of Denmark. The white mould has grown on a wooden box with ornate carvings held at the Museum Romu in Roskilde. Photograph: Camilla Jul Bastholm Preliminary studies are now under way at 150 other cultural sites in Denmark to see if the mould is present there too. Jul Bastholm, who first noticed the substance when she was working at a museum in Roskilde, believes the white transparent mould is a global phenomenon, but usually goes undetected because it is difficult to find. By the time it is visible, she said, it was 'too late'. She added: 'I think it is worldwide. If we start looking for it with the right methods we will find it. I don't think it's just a Danish thing.' Unlike most fungi, which prefer a very high humidity, and will come as a result of water damage or humid buildings, this variety prefers dry environments. Jul Bastholm's research centred around museums, but she has also seen the mould in churches, archives and libraries. 'It seems they [the fungi] prefer cultural heritage. I've never seen them anywhere else,' she said. The mould is feared to be a potential health hazard, which means affected objects may then not be able to be exhibited to the public. 'If you have a museum collection that can give health hazards to people then you can't use it,' she said. 'And then the collection will become a dead resource for the museums.' Skagens Museum, home to the work of members of the Skagen painters, a 19th-century Scandinavian artists' colony, also reported finding the mould, describing it to broadcaster DR as a 'whitish coating, a kind of bloom'. The Danish Museums Association said they were waiting for the results of further research at the end of the year to decide on how to tackle the problem. The National Museum is in the process of moving 116,000 shelf metres of cultural objects into a new staffed warehouse near Copenhagen which they hope will help fight the mould problem. But it is not known exactly what the humidity needs to be for it to stop growing.
