The rollout includes the track “Flower in a Hurricane,” featuring Tame Impala and SZA, signaling an ambitious music strategy around one of the industry’s biggest upcoming releases.

Blondie announces “High Noon,” its first studio album in nine years, and releases the new single “Spectral Eyes.” The record is also set to carry added emotional weight for the band and fans alike, as it includes what will be drummer Clem Burke’s final recording with Blondie following his death.

U2 reveals dates for its 2027 “The Greatest Show on Earth World Tour” and releases a new single of the same name. The tour is set to open in Mexico City and arrives alongside momentum for the band’s upcoming album, “Carnaval de Luz,” tying a large-scale live return to a broader new music campaign.

The live-action “Street Fighter” opens to mixed-to-negative reviews, with critics divided on its entertainment value but largely aligned on its weaknesses.
