Japanese Breakfast Is A Grocery-Store Ghost In ‘Posing In Bondage’ Video
Although her third album Jubilee isn’t set to be released until June 4, Japanese Breakfast is certainly keeping her fans well-fed with fresh tunes.

St. Vincent Sings From A Crystal Ball In ‘The Melting Of The Sun’ Music Video
When St. Vincent debuted her newest track, “The Melting of the Sun,” on Saturday Night Live on April 3, she sat the portrait of a ’70s superstar in a heavy fur coat and a glittering white and pink dress, electric guitar in hand. Though it was visually gorgeous, there was a tender, haunting quality to the performance that seemed to shimmer beneath its surface, like a mix of beauty and tragedy.

BTS Continue To Smash Chart Records with Feel-Good Summer Single ‘Dynamite’
Since the release of BTS’s feel-good, disco-infused summer single “Dynamite” last August, the group has made it an almost weekly habit of setting new records on the Billboard charts. The track became the group’s first-ever No. 1 single on the Hot 100 chart (and the boys promptly threw a party to celebrate), but the subsequent accolades it’s garnered since its release — including hitting the top of both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl.
