BTS’s ARIRANG remains at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a third consecutive week, posting 124,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 9 (down 34%), after debuting atop the chart on April 4. It marks the first time a group album has spent three weeks at No. 1 since Mumford & Sons’ Babel (2012–13) and the first to start with three weeks at No. 1 since Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl (2025).
A chart created by Dr. Charles Lineweaver and graduate student Vihan Patel plots everything in the universe, from subatomic particles to superclusters, on a log-log graph of mass and radius. The chart reveals a black line that separates the area forbidden by gravity from the space populated by familiar objects, with black holes dotted along the line. Interestingly, the entire observable universe, within the Hubble radius, falls on this line, suggesting that if a black hole were as large as the observable universe, it would have the same density. This raises the question of whether the universe itself is a black hole. However, the assumption that everything outside the Hubble radius is a zero density Minkowski space complicates the implications of the chart, leaving the question open for further exploration.
A chart published in the American Journal of Physics attempts to plot all composite objects in the Universe, including protons, atoms, life forms, asteroids, moons, planets, stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters, giant voids, and the Universe itself. The chart features sections labeled "sub-Planckian unknown" and "forbidden by gravity," which are referred to as "unphysical regions." One intriguing conjecture from the authors is that the chart suggests the Universe may be a black hole.
Jimmy Buffett's "Songs You Know by Heart: Jimmy Buffett's Greatest Hit(s)" album has reached the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart for the first time since its release in 1985. Following Buffett's death, the album earned 52,000 equivalent album units, making it his 13th top 10-charting album. The album includes hits like "Margaritaville" and "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes." Additionally, it was announced that Buffett's final studio album, "Equal Strain on All Parts," will be released on November 3.
Taylor Swift becomes the first living artist in nearly 60 years to have four albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart simultaneously. Her latest album, "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)," debuts at No. 1, while her previous chart-toppers "Midnights," "Lover," and "Folklore" also remain in the top 10. The last living artist to achieve this feat was Herb Alpert in 1966, and the only other artist to do so was Prince following his death in 2016.
