The post Michael Jackson Defies The Odds And Sends Several Songs To New Peaks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Michael Jackson manages to defy Drake’s chart domination as two of his songs — “Billie Jean” and “Chicago” — climb while more than a dozen others fall. NEW YORK, NY – CIRCA 1984: Michael Jackson performing circa 1984 in New York City. (Photo by Robin Platzer/Images/Getty Images) Getty Images It’s a tough week for every artist on the Billboard charts not named Drake. The rapper recently released three albums, Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour, and dozens of songs featured on those full-lengths become hits across a variety of tallies. The hip-hop superstar breaks several records thanks to his surge of new music, and those cuts that don’t have his moniker attached that manage to hold on drop from where they sat last week, with only a very small number of hits either keeping steady, or, in the case of Michael Jackson, rising. The King of Pop – whom Drake references on the Ice

(Photo by Ahsan Mohammed Ahmed Ahmed/Anadolu via Getty Images) Anadolu via Getty Images The U.S.-Israel war with Iran, launched on February 28 and concluded with the fragile ceasefire that took effect on April 8, saw Iraqi Kurdistan endure an unprecedented number of Iranian and Iran-backed militia missile and drone attacks. While U.S. and British air defenses helped shield the autonomous region’s capital city, Erbil, the region’s critical lack of any independent air defenses once again became glaringly apparent. And it’s still unclear whether the region can even acquire air defenses for self-protection any time soon.

The post AI Is Great At Analyzing The Past. Venture Capital Bets On The Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
VCs betting on the next big shift Getty Images The venture capital world thrives on the notion that a handful of companies will reshape entire economies. Now the tools investors increasingly rely on to spot those companies may be working against them. Roughly three-quarters of venture capital firms now use AI to help evaluate deals. It’s faster and more thorough than anything that came before it, processing pitch decks, sizing up competitors and flagging risks. But there is a fundamental problem with this approach: AI is trained on the past, but startups that reshape industries rarely resemble the past. Bias Of The AI Analyst For decades, VC investing has followed a familiar ritual. A founder presents a pitch deck. Investors meet the team and run diligence. They invite advisors and industry experts to weigh in. Together they ponder whether this startup is the next Google,

(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) Getty Images The Philadelphia Phillies seemed to be spiraling to open a highly anticipated season, but a big change might have corrected the course. After the team parted ways with long-time manager Rob Thomson and appointed bench coach Don Mattingly as his replacement, it has seen a surge in the standings, including a sweep of the San Diego Padres in its latest series. “Mattingly has guided the Phillies to a 20-8 turnaround since Rob Thomson was fired with a 9-19 record to start the season,” Reuters noted on Friday. But it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly Mattingly has changed to spark the reversal. He has made some lineup twe
The post Why Ream Is The Perfect World Cup Captain For USMNT Coach Pochettino appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 26: Tim Ream, player of United States, poses with his jersey during the United States World Cup roster reveal on May 26, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Adam Hunger/Getty Images) Getty Images When a coach selects a captain for his or her soccer team, they don’t necessarily pick their best player, leading goalscorer or the squad’s most popular player. They will give the armband to someone they can communicate with and to help get their message across to their players, and someone with strong leadership qualities. We have lost count as to how many times Christian Pulisic has captained the U.S. men’s national team as announcers and writers love to call him Captain America because it makes for great headlines. For the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Tim Ream will be Captain America. ORLANDO, FLORIDA – JANUARY 22: Head coach Mauricio Pochettino of the United Stat

Tilton/Getty Images) Getty Images If you are annoyed by the term “Heim Time,” you may want to stop reading now. For everyone else, guess what: it is indeed Heim Time. In one of the least surprising announcements since meteorologists predicted Florida would be hot in July, 23XI Racing announced Saturday that Corey Heim will move to the NASCAR Cup Series full-time in 2027. Heim will drive for the organization co-owned by Denny Hamlin and NBA legend Michael Jordan. Of course, this has seemed like the plan all along. Heim signed on as a development driver for the team in February 2025, a move that already looked smart at the time and appears even smarter now. The 24-year-old Geor

I haven't seen anything as stupid as the WeWork IPO document in a very long time - that is, until Elon Musk filed to take SpaceX public. WeWork was a joke. SpaceX is a threat. And if Musk and his bankers have their way, you are going to be their bagholder.
Lots of the top-line details leaked long before the S-1 filing itself became public. There's the rumored valuation of more than $1 trillion. That's despite the nearly $5 billion in losses last year. The total addressable market (TAM) for SpaceX - the amount of revenue SpaceX thinks it could make if won over what it thinks is its entire customer base - was listed as $28.5 trillion. By way …

The post Marcus Rashford: What’s He Feeling Following Gordon’s Barcelona Move? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Is there a way for both Marcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon to co-exist at Barcelona? PA Images via Getty Images Marcus Rashford’s FC Barcelona future is further under threat by the €80 million ($93.3 million) arrival of England teammate Anthony Gordon before the weekend. On June 30, Rashford’s loan deal expires meaning he will return to Manchester United if Barça don’t activate his €30 million ($35 million) buy option before said date. There have been plenty of reports about Flick telling Rashford and the club that he wants the Mancunian in his 2026/2027 squad after a La Liga-winning return of 14 goals and 14 assists last term. It all comes down to money at a club like Barca, though, which might have returned to making the big signings of yesteryear but is also battling to return to the 1:1 rule under Financial Fair Play limits. Gordon’s FC Barcelona arrival isn’t a surpr
