Will Oasis Show Up? Will New Order Make Peace? All Our Questions About the Rock Hall

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame revealed its class of 2026 on Monday evening, and it’s an unusually strong one. After years of dithering in which they proclaimed that Foreigner and Bon Jovi were somehow more worthy than Joy Division/New Order, the Hall is finally bringing in the groundbreaking post-punk band. (It was starting to look as if Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, and Peter Hook would have to start yet another world-changing band to be recognized by the Hall.)

Elsewhere, Phil Collins is joining the double inductee club (which also should have happened at least a decade ago), icons Sade and Luther Vandross got well-deserved nods, and Wu-Tang Clan and Oasis are representing the Nineties.

Angine de Poitrine is the most viral band in the world.

The Saguenay math-rock duo has reached a new milestone, with Fabienk topping Spotify’s Viral 50: Global chart, effectively making them the most viral act on the platform right now. Unlike Spotify’s standard rankings, which are driven by total streams, the Viral 50 measures momentum: how quickly a song gains traction, how widely it’s shared, and how many new listeners it pulls in over a short period.

Madonna Shares First Music From Long-Awaited Sequel Album ‘Confession II’

After months of rumors and hints, Madonna has finally revealed plans for the sequel to her 2005 LP Confessions on a Dance Floor, which she’s titled Confessions II. The album is set to come out July 3, and she’s shared a brief visual teaser. The leadoff single is “One Step Away.”

“People think that dance music is superficial, but they’ve got it all wrong,” Madonna says in a statement. “The dance floor is not just a place, it’s a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language.”

Kanye West Postpones Show in France After Facing Potential Ban: ‘My Sole Decision’

Kanye West has announced that he is postponing his concert in Marseille, France, which was scheduled to take place on June 11 at the Vélodrome stadium. The rapper, who now goes by Ye, faces a potential ban in the country amid ongoing backlash over his past antisemitic outbursts.

Nine Inch Nails, Boys Noize Recorded Collab LP ‘in Studios, Hotels, Planes’ All Over

Nine Inch Nails‘ collaborations with Boys Noize began in 2024 when the German EDM producer remixed Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ Challengers soundtrack, and it blossomed last year when NIN made a short set of songs with Boys Noize a centerpiece of their Peel It Back tour. Now they’re releasing a unique, “purely electronic” full-length Nine Inch Noize album recorded “all over the place – some of it’s live, some in studios, hotels, planes, etc.,” according to Reznor, on Friday. The album is available to pre-save and preorder now.

“The creative fulfillment of working on the Challengers and Tron scores with Boys Noize led me to think that including him in the Peel It Back tour could be an interesting way to express NIN in more purely electronic terms live — a concept I’ve wanted to explore for some time,” Reznor said in a statement. “The result was so much fun for us we felt it was worth expanding and formalizing in some way.
