I saw this ‘discless’ music box at JB Hi Fi the other day - Lorde’s new album ‘Solar Power’.

First time I’ve seen something like this to NOT include a CD (or DVD).

At $31.99, it’s nearly double the price of the album on iTunes ($16.99).

For your other $15, you get a fold out poster, card set and 2 extra songs not on the iTunes album version.

But in store (as below), it looks a bit too much like a CD… even though it’s got labels on it saying there is no CD, they probably should have made it a different size to make it look less like a CD.

Given the commercial success both her debut single “drivers license” and album “Sour” achieved worldwide I would not be surprised if this hits #1 in Australia.

His third studio album What Ifs & Maybes dropped today. It features radio favourites “Remind Me” and “All These Nights”, while “How Does It Feel” will be featured on So Fresh: The Hits of Winter 2023 which drops on June 30.

Really hope Bebe Rexha is ok after that scare. From what I heard she got some stitches over her left eye (I think it was).

Later she posted on Instagram confirming she was ok, with the caption “I’m good”.

Almost no one was surprised by the surprise appearance of The Foo Fighters at Glastonbury. They had been billed as The Churnups.

Fall Out Boy has released an updated version of the Billy Joel classic We Didn’t Start The Fire, complete with events from the past 34 years.

A little gripe I have with it is it’s not in chronological order like the original version, but I can see what they did. Still great nonetheless.

Not really a “comeback”. I mean, she didn’t go anywhere. She had music that was released in 2021 and still charting in 2022. So it’s better described as her new or latest single.

What I meant by “comeback” was that it was her first new music for nearly two years. Her last entry, “good 4 u”, dropped out of the top 50 in early September last year. But yes she did have music chart quite well in the first half of 2022.

Similarly, I considered Lewis Capaldi’s “Forget Me” (released at the same time Olivia’s last entry left the charts) to be his comeback single, the Scot having not released any new music for over two years.

No big deal. I’m just saying that it’s not how that term is usually used.

It’s usually applied to someone who takes a break for a few years and then decides to come back to what they do.
