Nirvana's Masterpiece Reaches Several Special Milestones
Nirvana's Nevermind hits 350 weeks on the U.K.'s Official Albums Sales chart and 1,450 weeks on the ... More Rock & Metal list, marking major chart milestones.

Nevermind gave Nirvana its first hit album in the United Kingdom several decades ago. By the time the title dropped, the group had already brought grunge to the mainstream. They were already hugely popular, but no one could have predicted how huge the set would end up becoming.
Nevermind is still regarded as one of the most important releases in rock history to this day. After tens of millions of copies have been sold, it stands among the bestselling full-lengths ever, and the public isn't done buying it yet, as the collection can almost always be found on rankings in most Western markets. This is a special frame for the title in the U.K. for several reasons, as it remains a top performer in that country.
Nevermind is currently present on a trio of album tallies in the U.K. While it is on its way down on each one, it still manages to hit a special landmark number on all but one of them.
As of this frame, Nevermind has spent 350 weeks on the Official Albums Sales chart, which tracks the most consumed projects in the nation. On that roster, the set dips almost 10 spaces to No. 61.
At the same time, it decreases to No. 9 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums list. It reaches 1,450 turns on that roster this period.
Nevermind only fails to make history in some way on the Official Physical Albums chart, though the length of time it has spent on that tally is still impressive. Just a few weeks ago, it passed a full decade as one of the bestselling releases in the country.
Nevermind is easily Nirvana's longest-charting title on all three rosters. Amazingly, though, it has only hit No. 1 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums list. Despite having now spent 350 frames as one of the top-selling titles of any genre or via any format in the U.K., Nevermind has never even managed to crack the top 10 on the Official Albums Sales chart — though it is worth mentioning that the tally was introduced long after the set had already sold incredibly well for many years.
Nevermind brought Nirvana to the Official Albums chart for the very first time. It debuted in October 1991 and hit No. 5. The full-length spent 440 weeks on the list of the most consumed projects, which, when it was new, was centered solely around pure purchases, as streaming platforms wouldn't be introduced for decades.
Four Nirvana projects appear on the rankings in the U.K. this week. The group's self-titled compilation lives on both the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming charts at the same time. Both MTV Unplugged in New York and In Utero sit behind Nevermind on the Official Rock & Metal Albums list.

F1 Star Damson Idris Reacts To Simone Ashley's Scenes Being Scrapped
F1 actor Damson Idris has reacted to the news that Simone Ashley's scenes have been cut from the film. Damson stars opposite Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Kerry Condon and a host of real-life Formula One stars in the new sports drama, which centres around a retired racer who becomes a mentor for a fledgling star in the field. Last week, it was revealed that while Bridgerton star Simone was originally due to appear in F1, her scenes didn't make it into the finished movie, aside from a few shots in which she doesn't speak. Asked for his thoughts on Simone being cut, Damson told BuzzFeed UK: 'First of all, I love Simone, not just as a person, but also as an artist. I think she's stupidly talented.' He then clarified: '[Simone's] role was more of a cameo kind of role. It was sort of a love interest situation that happened. 'But, as with many movies, you know the director's cut. I mean I've been cut out of movies, and these things happen.' Damson added: 'The joy of it is that, I know she's gonna work with not only [F1 director] Joseph Kosinski again, but definitely with me again.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Seasoned (@seasonedbf) Joseph Kosinski told People last week of Simone's absence from F1: 'It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use. 'There were two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make into the final cut.' He quickly celebrated the former Sex Education star as an 'incredible talent', 'incredible actress' and 'incredible singer', adding that he would 'love to work with her again' in the future. Simone previously told Elle in an interview published earlier this month that her part in F1 was a 'very small' one, but that she was still 'very grateful to be in that movie', describing the filming process as a 'crazy' experience. 28 Years Later Director Danny Boyle Reveals Meaning Behind That Truly Wild Twist Ending Seth Rogen Says Audition Tape For This Box Office Bomb Would 'End My Career' If It Got Out 'People Are Going To See Something They've Never Seen Before': How Pixar's Next Hit Film Was Made

ANDOR Creator Tony Gilroy Reveals Scrapped His James Bond Movie Pitch — GeekTyrant
Tony Gilroy might be best known right now for his work on the Star Wars series Andor , but long before Cassian Andor was trying to take down the Empire, Gilroy was building a different kind of spy story, with The Bourne Identity series. Well, it turns out, he also once had his sights set on yet another iconic spy… James Bond. During a recent appearance on The Playlist's The Rogue Ones podcast, Gilroy dropped some fascinating details about a Bond film he and Steven Soderbergh once pitched. It was an unconventional take that would've shaken-up the Bond franchise in a cool way. 'We wanted to go back to the '60s and do it in black and white and do Carnaby St. and do the whole thing. I thought it was a really swinging idea, like $30 million [budget], but he couldn't get them to… they just wouldn't give anybody control.' A black-and-white Bond film set in the swinging '60s? Lean, stylish, and likely unlike anything we've seen in the franchise before. I could've gotten behind that! But, the idea never made it past the pitch stage, thanks to the franchise's notoriously tight creative grip, especially under the longtime stewardship of Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Gilroy even had a villain ready to go, though he's keeping that one locked in the MI6 vault for now. 'I had a great villain,' he said, refusing to share more. With Amazon now owning MGM and the Bond rights, the landscape is shifting fast. What was a hard 'no' five years ago might now be a real possibility. With Bond 26 still unannounced and names like Denis Villeneuve, Edgar Wright, and Jonathan Nolan being floated, there's all different kinds of ideas that could be explored. Gilroy's not really involved with anything involving Bond right now, but that doesn't mean the door is closed. If Amazon really wants to breathe new life into Bond, letting bold storytellers take creative swings could be the smartest move yet, and that's probably why they won't do it. I have a feeling they are going to play it extremely safe with this franchise. But, I sure would be interesting in seeing a big swing like a monochrome, mod-era Bond thriller with a killer villain. Would you want to see Tony Gilroy take on 007? Let us know what you think.
