Ariana Grande's Smashes Are ‘Defying Gravity' Yet Again
Ariana Grande's 'Popular' and 'Defying Gravity' return to U.K. vinyl and physical singles charts as ... More anticipation for the second Wicked movie builds. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 03: (L-R) Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo attend as Universal Pictures presents special New York City WICKED Screening at Metrograph on December 03, 2024 in New York City. (Photo byfor Universal Pictures) Ariana Grande has essentially stopped promoting her most recent album Eternal Sunshine, and interest in the pop project has largely dwindled. While the singer's latest full-length continues to appear on a handful of album charts in the United Kingdom, none of the tunes pushed from the project — or its deluxe edition follow-up, Brighter Days Ahead — are still present. Grande does manage something of a comeback this week, though, as two recent 'popular' cuts 'defy gravity' and return to the charts. 'Popular' and 'Defying Gravity,' both from the first Wicked film, reappear on a pair of rankings apiece in the U.K. The former is credited solely to Grande, while the latter is a collaboration with her co-star Cynthia Erivo. Between the two, 'Popular' is the bigger hit at the moment. This frame, it reenters the Official Vinyl Singles chart at No. 18 and the Official Physical Singles ranking at No. 25. 'Defying Gravity' — arguably the more famous track from Wicked — is not far behind. The duet lands at No. 23 on the vinyl-only tally and No. 32 on the list of the top-selling tracks on any physical format, including CD, cassette, and wax records. In the past, both 'Popular' and 'Defying Gravity' have reached the top five on the two tallies on which they currently appear. Grande's solo tune missed out on becoming a No. 1 by just a single spot, while 'Defying Gravity' peaked in third place. The two tracks have spent four weeks each on the Official Vinyl Singles list. 'Defying Gravity' is now up to six frames on the Official Physical Singles chart, while 'Popular' has amassed seven stays on the roster. While 'Popular' and 'Defying Gravity' are Grande's only charting tunes in the U.K. at the moment, her album Eternal Sunshine does still manage to hold on — even though she's no longer pushing singles from the set. The Grammy-nominated project drops on all three rankings it finds a home on, and it barely manages to keep on the Official Physical Albums list, dipping to No. 99. The set appears dozens of spaces higher on both the Official Albums chart and Official Albums Streaming list, slipping slightly to Nos. 57 and 56, respectively, well over a year after it debuted.

'Entirely phony': Clint Eastwood calls viral interview a fabrication
Clint Eastwood has claimed that a recent interview with him which went viral is a fabrication. Quotes from an alleged interview with the Oscar-winning actor and director had gone viral over the weekend and were picked up by a number of sites. Yet Mr Eastwood has now said that he never spoke to anyone from German-language Austrian newspaper Kurier. 'A couple of items about me have recently shown up in the news,' Eastwood said in a statement released to Deadline. 'I thought I would set the record straight. I can confirm I've turned 95. "I can also confirm that I never gave an interview to an Austrian publication called Kurier, or any other writer in recent weeks, and that the interview is entirely phony.' Mr Eastwood, who turned 95 over the weekend, had been originally quoted as saying he was in pre-production on his new movie and had rallied against 'an era of remakes and franchises'. Kurier is based in Vienna and has a circulation of approximately 100,000 copies. There is no official statement from Kurier or any details on how the interview was assembled. Mr Eastwood's most recent film Juror #2, which starred Nicholas Hoult, was released at the end of last year with no confirmed word on what his next film will be. In an interview to support the film with the Metrograph magazine, he addressed his legacy as a film-maker. 'That would be up to them, to the audiences, to answer,' he said. 'Up to the people on the outside. I just kind of go along. I consider this, again, emotional. It comes upon you. You have a story, you make a movie of it. You have to just go for it. "If you think too much about how it happened you might ruin it. I go back and look at films I've made, and I could easily ask, 'Why the heck did I make this?' I don't remember! It might have been a long time ago.' Mr Eastwood had recently paid tribute to co-star Gene Hackman after Hackman's death in February. 'There was no finer actor than Gene,' he said. 'Intense and instinctive. Never a false note.' He added: 'He was also a dear friend whom I will miss very much.' - The Guardian Read More Gene Hackman: A character actor who was spellbinding as tough guys and fools
