New Colors, New Sounds, and a Million in Preorders

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl has already crossed a million preorders, with new colors and covers fueling demand ahead of its October 3 release. We look at the frenzy around her variants and what it means for another record-breaking rollout.

On the Hot 100, Alex Warren’s Ordinary logs a 10th week at #1, but Golden looks ready to retake the crown as K-Pop Demon Hunters score their fourth Top 10 hit, joining an elite soundtrack club.

And it’s not just chart titans — Laufey, Sombr, and Mariah the Scientist inject fresh energy with new albums, Doja Cat returns with Jealous Type, and Sabrina Carpenter lines up Man’s Best Friend. Plus: Morgan Wallen’s Grammy no-show and Mariah Carey’s upcoming MTV Video Vanguard honor at the 2025 VMAs.
