Both Of Olivia Rodrigo's Albums Become Top 40 Bestsellers Again
Olivia Rodrigo's Guts and Sour climb the Official Vinyl Albums chart in the U.K., buoyed by her ... More Glastonbury set and recent tour dates.

The singer-songwriter is still riding high from those high-profile appearances, and her two albums, Sour and Guts, continue to benefit from the renewed attention. Both Sour and Guts are currently performing well on half a dozen charts each in the United Kingdom after a recent surge that came thanks to her performances. Although both titles are beginning to decline on most lists, they are gaining ground on one specific tally. Sour and Guts Climb the Vinyl Albums Chart Sour and Guts are on the rise on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, defying a general downward trend for both projects. Between the two, Guts is the bigger success this frame, stepping up from No. 38 to No. 30. At the same time, Sour reenters the tally at No. 38 — the same position Guts held just days ago. Years after her albums were released, Rodrigo scores a pair of top 40 bestsellers on the vinyl-only ranking. Guts Slips Elsewhere While Guts grows on the vinyl front, it declines on the other five other tallies where it still appears. The title falls outside the top 10 on the Official Albums chart, the main ranking of the biggest full-lengths and EPs in the country. It performs worst on the Official Album Downloads list, plunging from No. 22 to No. 50. Sour Rises on Several Charts Sour, meanwhile, manages to rise on two charts in the U.K. In addition to its vinyl success, the collection also improves slightly on the Official Physical Albums list, inching up from No. 33 to No. 32. Despite some downward movement, overall consumption of Sour still seems strong. It ranks at No. 13 on the Official Albums chart, just two spots below Guts. The singer's first studio effort also experiences its most severe drop on the Official Album Downloads tally, where it tumbles from No. 31 to No. 73.

Denmark's Crown Prince Christian, 19, parties with friends at popular music festival
The 19-year-old Prince of Denmark has gotten as far away from prestige and ceremony as possible and has been spotted having fun at festival. Christian is the eldest son of Australia's own Queen Mary, who left Australia to marry King Frederik. When they met Frederik, was still a prince. Their romance and subsequent marriage sent Australia into quite the meltdown. Over 20 years later and countless Women's Weekly cover stories later, the couple are still together. Queen Mary still visits home, and King Frederik officially took the throne in 2024; since then, the pair has ruled Denmark together. Their 19-year-old son, on the other hand, who towers over his father, Frederik, who is 6 feet tall himself, was seen letting loose at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. 5 The 19-year-old Prince of Denmark attended the Roskilde Festival. Søren Lambert/Aller/MEGA 5 Prince Christian wore baggy blue jean shorts and a baggy white shirt at the event. Søren Lambert/Aller/MEGA He was spotted bro-ing out with his mates and looked just like any other festival goer. He even rocking a wristband. The 19-year-old kept it very Gen Z chic in oversized denim shorts (the kind Adam Sandler used to wear when they were considered cringeworthy) and an oversized white T-shirt, along with worn-looking sneakers. He was seen smiling, singing, dancing, in the crowd and hanging out with his mates. 5 Prince Christian appeared to blend in with the crowd as he wore his casual attire. Søren Lambert/Aller/MEGA It was remarkably normal behavior for someone who is set to become King. Online people were thrilled to see the young royal living a relatively normal life and also amazed that he is now an adult. 'I love this for him. That he can spend a few days at a huge festival without really being bothered,' one cheered. 5 Prince Christian is the eldest child of King Frederik X and Queen Mary. Getty Images 5 Prince Christian is next in line to the Danish throne. Getty Images 'He looks so matured,' another praised. 'When did he grow up so fast?' Another asked. Christian's festival partying comes after his parents announced last year that the heir to the Danish throne would be taking some time off before commencing any university studies. It was announced he'd embark on an 'extended stay in East Africa' where he'd be working on two farms doing both practical and administrative tasks. After returning, he started his four-month military service at the Guard Hussar Regiment in February, and it has now been announced that he will commence Lieutenant training in August this year. 'The training starts in early August 2025 and lasts one year plus a subsequent period of practical service as a platoon leader. The Crown Prince will complete his ongoing military service with the Guard Hussar Regiment at the end of May,' The Royal House said in a media release.

Olivia Rodrigo wears a leather bra and matching hot pants as she performs at Roskilde Festival in Denmark
She put on a show-stopping performance for her headline set at Glastonbury last weekend. And Olivia Rodrigo stunned as she performed at Roskilde Festival in Denmark on Saturday. The singer, 22, looked incredible in a purple leather halterneck bra and matching hot pants with silver studs. She accessorised with a pair of fishnet stockings and completed her outfit with chunky knee-high boots. Olivia later changed into another outfit, pairing a graphic printed crop top with low-slung leather shorts. The festival, which will run until July 5, features artists such as Charli XCX, Stormzy, and Fontaines D.C. Last weekend, Olivia wowed in a pair of Union Jack hot pants as she shared her 'love' for England during her headline set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. The pop star closed out the festival at Worthy Farm in the daring number which she teamed with fishnet tights and a graphic T-shirt. During her energetic set, Olivia paused to express her love for a variety of British foods as she gushed over Marks and Spencer sweets. She said: 'One thing you should know about me is f***ing love England, I love England so much. 'It's bands like the Cure that first got me acquainted with England but now that I'm older I have so many things I love about England. The good 4 u hitmaker, who is dating British actor boyfriend Louis Partridge, also 22, revealed her greatest loves for the country and gushed that she 'really loves English boys'. She continued: 'I love pop culture, I love that nobody judges you for having a pint at noon it's the best. I love English sweets from M&S and Collin the Caterpillar. 'True story I have had three sticky toffee pudding since arriving at Glastonbury so safe to say I love English food.' Olivia added: 'As luck would have it, I also really love English boys, I wrote this next song about getting to know a boy from England who loves beans on a jacket potato, I took all our little jokes and made a song called, So America.' As she kicked-off her set, the Disney star cut a trendy figure in a white lace dress as she sang hit Obsessed, which featured on her 2023 Guts album. Olivia said: 'How are we doing tonight, Glastonbury? Holy f****** s***, I don't think I've ever seen so many people in my life. Guys, it's the last night of the festival. Are you ready to have some fun?' The chart-topping star's set also featured performances of Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl, Vampire and Drivers Licence, the 2021 single that proved to be a turning point in Olivia's music career. The singer was later joined on stage by Robert Smith from the Cure. Before her guest appeared on stage, Olivia said: 'I'm so wildly excited about this next guest. He is perhaps the best songwriter to come out of England, he is a Glastonbury legend and a personal hero of mine.' The duo then joined forces to perform a rendition of Friday I'm in Love, which appeared on The Cure's 1992 album Wish.

'How fragile we are': Roskilde Festival tragedy remembered 25 years on
COPENHAGEN — Today, 25 years ago, one of the worst accidents in rock history occurred at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark: nine young men lost their lives in the chaos that unfolded during a Pearl Jam concert. Rasmus Thirup Beck, a journalist who attended the Pearl Jam concert in 2000 shared his memories with Danish TV on the anniversary: "At some point, we see on the big screen that a completely lifeless body is lifted up over the barrier, and another one a little later and so on. We were completely shaken, and people began to cry around us and so on. We did not know what had happened. We only knew that something really bad had happened." During the show, frontman Eddie Vedder tried to get the thousands of fans to stop pushing forward, but it was too late. The US rock band have shared a post on Instagram honouring the victims. "Nothing has been the same since," it reads. Some 43 other people were also injured during the incident. Several inquiries were conducted, though no charges were filed. An initial report published in December 2000 found that 'a chain of unfortunate circumstances' led to the deaths after poor sound in the back prompted concert-goers to push forward. After 30 June, 2000, Roskilde Festival and all other festivals around the world changed forever. The festival has invested millions of Kroner in modern safety measures in an effort to prevent something similar from happening again. "We can be up to 70,000 people at this stage, and if we want space for all that, so that is still comfortable to stand here we will have to be able to use the corners completely, and therefore there is a much larger scene, big screens, a proper sound system, so it doesn't really matter where you are, then you can still get a good experience," explains head of security at the festival Morten Therkildsen. A memorial sculpture now sits at the festival ground. It's a black stone block engraved with the words "how fragile we are", with nine trees planted around it. On Pearl Jam's 2002 album Riot Act, the song Arc is a wordless tribute to the young men. The band played the song live only nine times. — Euronews
