- The global smartphone market is showing signs of recovery with a 7.8% increase in smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2024.

Beyoncé Becomes First Black Woman to Nab Number One Country Album With ‘Cowboy Carter’
rollingstone.com/music/music-news/beyonce-cowboy-carter-tops-country-album-chart-number-one-1234998548/
Quick Glance: Has Beyoncé Already Created Her Rock Album?
- Beyoncé blends R&B, country, and hard-hitting guitars on Cowboy Carter, hinting at a potential rock album, with some arguing that this album could already fit that genre.
- Tracks like the Prince-meets-Sheryl Crow pop-rock gem 'Bodyguard' and the spectacular Tina Turner-style anthem 'Ya Ya' support the notion, along with the proggy elements in the Jon Batiste-assisted opening track 'American Requiem'.
- However, with 27 often wildly disparate tracks, Cowboy Carter is challenging to categorize. In a new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, many tracks are discussed, speculating that Beyoncé's next album, the third in the trilogy, might be an official rock album.
- One of the album's guest stars, country singer Willie Jones, expresses excitement about collaborating with one of his biggest inspirations on the ballad 'Just for Fun' in the episode.

- The most famous songwriting credit in history, Lennon-McCartney, has been revived - this time for a song written by the Beatles' sons.
- Primrose Hill, a track by Paul McCartney's son James, co-written with Sean Ono Lennon, is an acoustic ballad featuring a shuffling backbeat and contemplative guitar solo.
- McCartney described the song in an Instagram post as a vision he had as a child in Scotland: 'Primrose Hill is about getting the ball rolling with me & finding this person.'
- Fans also have the chance to acquire a unique piece of McCartney memorabilia - the open-top double-decker bus used by him and Wings for their 1972 European tour, expected to be auctioned for up to £200,000 on April 22.
