38 years ago today, Rattle and Hum hit No. 1 in America. It climbed to the top of the Billboard album chart dated November 12, 1988, two weeks after debuting at No. 14, and stayed there for six weeks.
It was a strange, ambitious record: part live album from the Joshua Tree tour, part new studio songs, released alongside a concert film directed by Phil Joanou. U2 went looking for the roots of American music and brought some of it home. They recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis, sang with B.B. King on When Love Comes to Town, wrote Love Rescue Me with Bob Dylan, and covered Helter Skelter and All Along the Watchtower.
In the UK it sold 360,000 copies in its first week. It was also the first double album to reach No. 1 in the US since Bruce Springsteen's The River in 1980.
Anton Corbijn's cover recreates a moment from Bullet the Blue Sky on that tour, with Bono turning a spotlight on the Edge.

Rank the three big singles from it, best to worst: Desire, Angel of Harlem, All I Want Is You.

60 years ago today, November 12, 1966, The Monkees’ self-titled debut hit No. 1 on the Billboard album chart. 📀
One week earlier, “Last Train to Clarksville” had topped the Hot 100. The TV show was barely two months old, and Monkeemania was in full swing.
The album held the top spot for 13 straight weeks. And the record that finally knocked it off? "More of the Monkees."
What’s your favorite track from the debut? 👇

“An extraordinary band that won’t stay in their lane”

Fifty-one years ago today, Patti Smith released her debut album 'Horses' with John Cale producing, and the sound of rebellion found its permanent address.
The album cover itself did half the marketing before the record reached a shelf. Full story ⬇️

Two sisters from Bowling Green, Kentucky, one guitar, one drum kit, and a debut that swings from bratty punk to some of the most tender songwriting we’ve heard this year.
Girl Tones’ "Precious" runs from the snarl of “Cherry Picker” and “Pretty Face” to the title track, a tribute to Kenzie and Laila’s late grandmother that’ll stop you in your tracks.

We wrote about this back in March, and the numbers keep climbing: physical music outpaced streaming growth at Sony last quarter.

Modern rock went sterile. Scarhaven didn't get the memo.
Grunge revival out of NYC, 'Changing' EP, and a track called "Clouds" that's "wall of sound" turned up to 11.

2 versions required. One for listening, one for hanging. Everything's Falling: art for the eyes and the ears.

Mud meets halo: a Gibson digging into the grunge while the vocals float somewhere near ethereal.
That's the SKORTS sound, and their new EP 'Muse and the Marquee' drops Nov 13th.
If you haven’t discovered SKORTS yet, check out our full spotlight on the band and see what you’ve been missing!

They’re so sweet, cute, and beautiful!! 🥹✨

One song in the cereal aisle and you’re seventeen again. Your brain isn’t being sentimental. Researchers can trace it.

If you're in the "they don't make rock like that anymore" camp, you haven't heard Return To Dust.
"These guys rock" is an understatement!
@Returntodustbnd #grunge #alternativemusic #rock
This band hit #1 on the Hot 100 in 1966 and I bet you can't name them. 🎹
Their story opens our tour of lesser-known number songs: one from every decade of rock, from 1955 to 2026.

Ever been in the "that's not rock" debate?
Oxford, a musicology professor, and the Canadian government all tried to define rock. None of them agree. Two songs put their definitions to the test. 👇
