Summer is just around the corner, and some of today’s biggest artists are heating things up with their newest music releases.

To kick things off, Zach Bryan dropped the somber “Pink Skies,” where he addresses a deceased loved one as their grown children get ready to wish them farewell. Bryan was named Billboard’s Top New Artist of 2023, landing No. 1s on both the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart and Hot 100 songs survey.

Meanwhile, RM dropped his second solo record, Right Place, Wrong Person, on Friday (May 24), bringing with it 11 new tracks for fans to enjoy amid the band’s military obligations. Led by the single “Come Back to Me,” Right Place, Wrong Person also features the alternative-based songs “Nuts,” “Groin,” “Heaven,” “LOST!” and more. Overall, the LP reflects a “raw and honest presentation of RM’s distinctive sensibility, aesthetics, and beliefs,” per a BigHit release, and follows the South Korean artist’s 2022 debut album Indigo, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

Also in the album realm, Twenty One Pilots returned with Clancy, which follows 2021’s Scaled and Icy –which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 — and concludes the duo’s long-running album saga that started with 2015’s Blurryface and 2018’s Trench.

Sexyy Red also surprised fans with her new mixtape, In Sexyy We Trust, which includes a Drake guest spot on “U My Everything,” which name-checks and flips Metro Boomin’s “BBL Drizzy.”
