The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s newly-remixed version of “Save Your Tears” has hit No. 1 on the Hot 100. The track, which serves as the latest single from The Weeknd’s After Hours album, first broke into the top 10 after he performed it during his Super Bowl halftime show.  

“Save Your Tears” is the sixth Hot 100 No. 1 hit for both The Weeknd and Grande. The Weeknd has topped the Hot 100 on his own with “The Hills,” “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Heartless” and “Blinding Lights.” Grande’s solo No. 1 hits include “Thank U, Next,” “7 Rings” and “Positions” and her collaborative hits include “Stuck With U” with Justin Bieber, “Rain on Me” with Lady Gaga and now “Save Your Tears” with The Weeknd.

“Save Your Tears” marks the third time The Weeknd and Grande have teamed up. Their track “Love Me Harder” peaked at No. 7, and last year they joined together for Positions album cut “Off the Table,” which broke into the top 40.

19-year-old Billie Eilish is featured on the cover of British Vogue, shortly after changing her green and black hair for blonde. The magazine said, “She is indulging a fantasy by embracing a ‘classic, old-timey pin-up’ look.”

Eilish said she wanted to explore the beauty of corsets, which she said she knew would rile people, but was also drawn to their original restrictive function. The new look is a huge change for Eilish, who said in the interview that her body is her “deepest insecurity” and was the initial reason for her depression when she was younger, which led to her wearing baggy clothes. Eilish said she expects criticism of her more revealing shoot with British Vogue, adding, “My thing is that I can do whatever I want. It’s all about what makes you feel good. Showing your body and showing your skin — or not — should not take any respect away from you.”

Eilish’s new album “Happier Than Ever” will be released on July 30.
