Vince Staples Drops New Track “Magic” With Mustard
Vince Staples and Mustard have joined forces on a new single, “Magic,” which arrives as the first track off of Staples’ upcoming record Ramona Park Broke My Heart.

Dragon Spits Fire at Australian Prime Minister For ‘Cynical’ Cover on National TV
Dragon, the ARIA Hall of Fame-inducted alternative rock outfit, had a string of hits during their prime, none greater than “April Sun In Cuba” from 1977. When Australia’s prime minister Scott Morrison covered the number Sunday night (Feb. 13) during a spot on national TV, it was a bona fide miss. That’s the critique from the song’s surviving creators. With an election coming, Morrison and his Coalition federal government, an alliance of center-right political parties, find themselves in a spot of bother.

Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift’s ‘Joker And the Queen’ Set For Royal Debut In U.K.
The only thing standing in the way of Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift winning the U.K. chart crown would appear to be magic. Sheeran and Swift’s new collaboration “The Joker and the Queen” is on track for a No. 2 debut on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, following Ed’s performance of it last week at the 2022 Brit Awards. If it keeps its momentum, the single could beat the pair’s last collab, “Everything Has Changed,” which peaked at No. 7 back in 2012.
