Led by singer-songwriter Florence Welch, the act now ties Brandi Carlile for the most No. 1s on Top Rock & Alternative Albums, with five leaders each. The ranking began in 2006. (Carlile just hit five No. 1s a week ago.)
Everybody Scream debuts with 56,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending Nov. 6, according to Luminate. Of that sum, traditional album sales (purchases of digital download and physical albums) comprise 44,000, with 25,000 of that number on vinyl (a career-high vinyl sales week for the act).
Three songs from Everybody Scream dot the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, led by the debut of “Sympathy Magic” at No. 28. It’s followed by a re-entry of the title track at No. 30 (a new peak) and a debut from “One of the Greats” at No. 44.
The set’s title track is also percolating on Billboard’s airplay charts. On Alternative Airplay, it falls from its peak of No. 10 to No. 12, while on Adult Alternative Airplay, it climbs to a new high of No. 2 (up a spot from a week ago).

According to the survey, fans have named concerts as the world’s top form of entertainment, outranking attending movies, sporting events and even having sex, with 70% of respondents saying they would choose a concert by their favorite artist over lovemaking.
“This report confirms what we’re seeing on the ground everywhere,” said Russell Wallach, Live Nation’s global president of media and sponsorship, in a statement. “Live music isn’t just growing, it’s shaping economies, influencing brands, and defining culture in real time. Fans have made live the heartbeat of global entertainment, and it’s now one of the most powerful forces driving connection and growth worldwide.”
The study is meant, in part, to drive new insights about the millions of fans who attend concerts every year on behalf of the 1,500 major brands and sponsors that spent $1.2 billion with the company in 2024, according to Live Nation’s year-end financials.
The study found that 35% of fans plan to attend at least four concerts per year, while 29% of festivalgoers plan to attend at least four festivals per year. The report also found that 85% of fans said music was a core part of their identity, that 77% felt part of something bigger at shows, and that, among parents, the number one passion many hoped to pass on to their children was a love for live music.
The report also found that demand for female artists was continuing to grow, with 76% of responding fans reporting that they wanted more female-led lineups and 60% reporting a desire to see more festivals spotlight female talent.
The report covers a broad range of how fans view the importance of live music in their lives, the global nature of touring and the economic impact touring can have on local markets. A complete summary of the report can be found at livingforlive.livenationforbrands.com.

Saturday Night Live is breaking in a pair of first-timers this weekend, with musical guest Olivia Dean and host Glen Powell both making their debuts. And cast members Bowen Yang and Marcello Hernandez aren’t making things easy for them.
“Well, well, well,” Yang says, glaring. “If it isn’t a couple of first-timers,” Hernandez adds in a fake Southern accent. “Fresh fish,” Yang chimes in.

“You know how we treat your kind ’round these parts?” Hernandez asks. “You better buckle up, ’cause you’re in for a world of…”
“Dancing!” the pair say in unison, as they break out into some chaotic choreography.
“Ooh! I quite like it,” Dean says with a smile, while Powell had other thoughts: “I was about to pull out my gun.”
Elsewhere in the promos, Hernandez initiates a (very fast) game of hide-and-seek, and Yang and Hernandez do a Freaky Friday body swap (“I’ve bluffed my way through so many Wicked press junkets”).
Dean is capping a breakout year with her SNL debut, following the top 10 Billboard 200 debut of her sophomore album The Art of Loving and her first four entries on the Billboard Hot 100, led by the top five hit “Man I Need.”
Powell is promoting his new movie The Running Man, which arrives in theaters on Friday, as well as season 1 of his Hulu series Chad Powers, which premiered in September.
