P!nk Speaks Out on Vaccine Mandate Protests In California
P!nk is in support of California’s newest law, which sees the state becoming the first in the United States to mandate vaccinations for eligible teacher, staff and students attending in-person classes at public and private schools for grades seven through 12. On Sunday (Oct. 17), the “Cover Me In Sunshine” singer took to Twitter to voice her disapproval for those participating in state-wide walk outs to oppose the new mandate, which went into effect on Oct. 1. “To anyone participating in the ‘state wide walk out’ in opposition to vaccine mandates…. Where were you when they made us start wearing seatbelts and not having polio???? Late to the party!!!! #keepingkidssafesinceforever #dontwantmeaslesneither,” the 42-year-old shared on her account, along...

Fans Choose Adele’s ‘Easy On Me’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music
Created with longtime collaborator Greg Kurstin, “Easy On Me” is the lead single from Adele’s upcoming fourth album, 30, which is scheduled for release on Nov. 19. The song was accompanied by black-and-white music video, in which the singer drives away from an empty house with a “Sold” sign in the front yard. Adele’s last three albums — 19, 21 and 25 — have all reached the top five on the Billboard 200, with the latter two hitting No. 1. Her most recent project, 2015’s 25, spent a staggering 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned the album of the year Grammy, selling 3.38 million copies in its debut week. It marked the biggest sales week for an album since MRC Data began tracking point-of-sale purch...
Here’s How Drake Reacted to His Early Listen of Adele’s New Album
“I don’t send it around to like, various people, being like, ‘Can I get your thoughts on this?'” Adele clarified during her chat with the U.K. radio station. “It’s always just been about how it makes me feel,” she said. “Quality control is my forte. I can write a song about my own experiences my own life, and stuff like that. People certainly aren’t waiting for a club banger from me. I feel like I’m gonna give people what it is that they’ve been missing while I’ve been away.” Just the other day, Drake — whose own Certified Lover Boy just returned to No. 1 for its fourth nonconsecutive week atop the Billboard 200 albums chart — showed his support for his pal on Instagram, where he posted...
Adele’s ‘Easy on Me’ Off to Fast Start, Aiming for Splashy Chart Debut
Adele’s track record on Billboard’s charts is impressive. Among her achievements from only three studio albums: two No. 1s on the Billboard 200 albums chart (with a combined 34 weeks atop the list), four No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, four No. 1s on the Pop Airplay chart, five No. 1s on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, five No. 1s on the Adult Contemporary airplay chart and three No. 1s on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart.

PinkPantheress Drops Debut Mixtape to hell with it: Stream
TikTok pop phenom PinkPantheress has dropped her debut mixtape to hell with it. Stream it below via Apple Music or Spotify. The British producer is about 20 years old, and that’s an estimate because she’s either cultivating an air of mystery, or just clinging to some semblance of privacy in our increasingly online world. Her music is steeped in turn-of-the-millennium sounds — what she has called the “new nostalgic.” In an interview with i-D, she talked about her fascination with the early aughts, explaining, “The music was so unpolished and cool because I feel like people weren’t afraid of being a little bit cringe. It was all way more experimental.” Advertisement Related Video This shows up in her samples, which can feel like an easter egg hunt for older listeners. Her...
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres Is Completely Oblivious to Its Own Plight
On “Trouble In Town,” the third track on Coldplay’s 2019 LP Everyday Life, the band places a rather disturbing sound clip of a police officer rudely interrogating someone — this comes after Chris Martin’s solemn lament on unequal power structures and how they always “add more police,” and before a full-band psychedelic freak out of an outro, which is not necessarily what you’d associate with Coldplay. This was not an anomaly on the record; Everyday Life featured Coldplay at their most experimental, their most vital, and playing the riskiest music they’ve made in years. But what’s more, is that it sounded like Coldplay had changed, that over a span of 20 years as a band, they were almost more weathered and rugged. Fast forward to two years later; Coldplay have released their ninth studio al...
Adele’s “Easy on Me” Breaks Spotify Record for Most Single Day Streams
Even after six years away from the spotlight, Adele remains the biggest name in music. Case in point: her comeback single “Easy on Me” has set the Spotify record for most streams in a single day. Adele bested a record previously held by BTS, whose song “Butter” received 20.9 million global streams on May 23rd. Here at Consequence, we named “Easy on Me” our Song of the Week. In her accompanying writeup, contributing editor Mary Siroky said of the song, “It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s Adele through and through, and that might just be best case scenario right now. Turn it on for a long, reflective drive. Pour a cup of coffee and sit by the window looking forlorn. Resist the urge to call your ex. Adele is here for all of us.” Advertisement Related Video “Easy on Me” serves as the first sing...
Britney Spears Says ‘Lord Have Mercy on My Family’s Souls’ If She Ever Does an Interview
In her new post, Spears says she’s already had a lot more freedom from her conservatorship, but she’s worried she might mess it all up by making a “mistake.” In her latest Instagram post, Britney Spears is opening up to fans about the double-edged sword of her looming freedom. Even though she’s still fighting to end the conservatorship that has controlled her personal life and finances for the past 13 years, she scored a big victory last month when her father was suspended as the conservator of her estate. In her new post, she says she’s already had a lot more freedom, but she’s worried she might mess it all up by making a “mistake.” “For so many years I was always told if I succeeded at things, it could end … and it never di...
Song of the Week: Adele Confirms the Arrival of Sad Girl Autumn with “Easy On Me”
Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify Top Songs playlist. For our favorite new songs from emerging artists, check out our Spotify New Sounds playlist. This week, Adele breaks her lengthy hiatus with an extremely on-brand ballad. What is it that separates a moody piano ballad from an Adele song? Is it the undeniable vocals? The reflective nature of the lyrics, nostalgic and sad? The overwhelming desire to suddenly go stand outside in the rain? It’s probably all of the above, and with “Easy On Me,” Adele takes it easy on absolutely no one — not the listeners, and not herself. The record-breaking vocalist has shared that her upcoming album is entitled 30, and the only thing truly surprising a...

Miley Cyrus Working on Her Ninth Studio Album, First for Columbia
Cyrus has relaunched her MileyWorld website that originally started in 2007 as she transitioned out of the Hannah Montana moniker and started releasing music under her real name. Almost a year after the release of the rock-heavy album Plastic Hearts, Miley Cyrus has been hard at work on her follow-up ninth studio record, according to her new label home, Columbia Records. Previously under RCA Records, Cyrus jumped over to Colombia in March, and her upcoming record will be her first under the new label and management Crush Music. Cyrus has been sharing teases of the new era’s aesthetics, which appear to pull heavy inspiration from the days of 1970s disco and its Studio 54 heyday.
