Stray Kids Mark The Band's Busiest Week Ever On The Charts
Stray Kids emerged as one of the most successful K-pop acts in the Western world years ago, and the superstars continue to score win after win after win. The boy band has already landed a number of bestselling albums and hit songs in key markets like the United States and the United Kingdom, but this week marks a high point for the group in the U.K., as the pop stars flood multiple tallies with a quartet of new tracks, all taken from a just-released project.
Four brand new tracks by Stray Kids debut on the U.K. charts this week. All four songs appear on two rankings apiece — the Official Singles Downloads and the Official Singles Sales tallies. At least two of the four cuts manage to become top 40 hits, which typically marks the threshold for when a track is considered a true success in many places.
Of the four debuts, "Truman" leads the charge. The single opens at No. 29 on the Official Singles Downloads chart and No. 33 on the Official Singles Sales list. Just a few places behind comes "Escape," which kicks off its run at Nos. 32 and No. 35, respectively, on the same rankings.
"Burnin' Tires" doesn't quite manage to reach the top 40 on both rankings, though it comes close. The track starts at No. 37 on the Official Singles Downloads chart, becoming an instant modest win. The same tune falls just shy of the same milestone on the Official Singles Sales list, beginning at No. 41.
"Cinema" trails a bit further behind, debuting at No. 44 on the downloads-only tally and No. 47 on the all-encompassing sales chart.
Each of the four newly-charting tunes is featured on Mixtape: Dominate, the latest collection from Stray Kids. While the release is labeled a single album in some markets — and an EP in others — it didn't appear to qualify as an album by U.K. standards. Mixtape: Dominate doesn't appear on any of the nation's album charts, though its individual songs sold well enough to do so.
This frame now stands as Stray Kids' busiest ever in the U.K. The band has never before debuted four songs at one time. It's rare for the outfit to place more than one tune on the U.K. rankings in a single week, so managing a quartet of debuts at once is a huge showing for the vocal troupe.
Stray Kids has now sent 15 tracks to the Official Singles Sales chart. With this week's achievements, the musicians also boost their total on the Official Singles Downloads list to 16. Both of those numbers are impressive totals for a largely non-English-speaking act of any kind in the Western world.

The superstar K-pop group is composed of RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook. Jin, 32, who is the oldest member, was the first to enlist in December 2022, with the others beginning their mandated 18-21–month service over the following year. The group surprised the BTS Army on June 13 by simply being in the same space, which marked the conclusion of j-hope's first solo tour, HOPE ON THE STAGE. Jin and Jung Kook, 27, also appeared as special guests onstage and performed on stage, performing "Don't Say You Love Me" and "Seven (feat. Latto)," respectively. Jin, Jung Kook and j-hope also performed "Jamais Vu," while RM, 30, Suga (who is allowed to be out in public but cannot work or promote music until the completion of his service this weekend), 32, Jimin, 29 and V, 29, watched in the crowd. BTS celebrated their reunion at FESTA, an annual celebration of the anniversary of the group's formation on June 13 and 14. Held in the KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, South Korea, the fan event features photo spots, DIY photo card stations, games, and a coloring wall inspired by BTS' album artwork. Over 60,000 fans attended the highly anticipated event, which also included a 'Voice Zone,' where fans could listen to recordings from each bandmate. A 'Locker Zone' was also set up for the seven singers, displaying items important to them. Fans were also able to personalize their own satchels at the event at the 'DIY Zone.' The concert served as a special reminder to both BTS and the ARMY how important they are to one another. Under South Korean law, able-bodied men must perform 18-21 months of military service, per the Associated Press. Six of the members completed the standard service. Jin enlisted in December 2022 and served at a military training center near the North Korean border, per the New York Times. J-hope enlisted in April 2023. Suga, 32, enlisted in Sept. 2023 and performed an alternative service as a social service agent, the outlet reported in 2023. The final four — RM, 30, Jimin, 29, V, 29, and Jungkook, 27 — all enlisted in December 2023. Since they announced in June 2022 that they would be taking time to complete their military duties and work on solo endeavors, all the members have released their own albums and several have embarked on international concert tours. Jin previously opened up about reunion plans in May on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "It was great to be alone. But when they come back, since they worked very hard, I'm going to honor them and give them great respect," he told Fallon.

Is ‘1883' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 21, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated June 21, 2025, 10:38 IST The Yellowstone prequel 1883 took audiences by storm with its gripping tale of the Dutton family's treacherous journey across the American frontier in the late 19th century. Released in 2021, the miniseries, created by Taylor Sheridan, starred Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Isabel May, and Sam Elliott, earning praise for its gritty storytelling and stellar performances. Fans have been clamoring for news about a potential 1883 Season 2, but is it happening? Here's everything we know so far about the future of this beloved Western drama. Has 1883 Season 2 Been Confirmed? Straight up, there's no official word on 1883 Season 2. Taylor Sheridan, the genius behind the Yellowstone universe, called 1883 a '10-hour movie' with a proper ending, which kinda screams 'one and done.' Back in early 2022, Paramount+ teased 'more episodes,' getting everyone's hopes up, but then they pulled a U-turn. Instead, Sheridan's been pouring his energy into other spinoffs like 1923 and the upcoming 1944 . So, yeah, the odds aren't looking great for a second season. Potential Release Date for 1883 Season 2 Since 1883 Season 2 hasn't been greenlit, any release date is speculative. The first season went from announcement to release in about a year, so if Paramount gave the green light in 2025, we'd likely see production kick off by early 2026. Filming in those wild, open landscapes takes time, so we're talking late 2026 or early 2027 at the earliest. Patience, folks. What Could the Plot of 1883 Season 2 Be? A second season could focus on James and Margaret Dutton's efforts to establish the Yellowstone Ranch in Montana, facing challenges like harsh winters, conflicts with local tribes, or rival settlers. Alternatively, the story could explore the next generation, with young John Dutton Sr. taking center stage. Elsa's narration could provide continuity, tying the season to the broader Yellowstone timeline. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

‘3:10 to Yuma': Masculinity Is Real, Machismo Is Fake
Through his picture-perfect Western '3:10 to Yuma' (2007), director James Mangold is saying that children, women, and men who shelter beneath the shade of subtle masculinity ought to be grateful, not hanker after the spectacular but shallow alternative. Drought and debt force one-legged Civil War veteran and small-time rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale) to join a posse. They're out to find and put crooked but charming outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) on the 3:10 train heading to prison in Yuma. While Evans limps through this real-world manhunt, his wife Alice (Gretchen Mol), younger son Mark (Benjamin Petry), and older son William (Logan Lerman) find themselves in a manhunt of a different sort.
