Olivia Rodrigo recently wiped her Instagram account clean, removing previous photos she’d shared on the account.  She has since uploaded two unexplained silent videos playing on an old-school television. 

The first one, posted on Friday (March 26), shows an ice cream cone melting. The second one, posted on Saturday (March 27), shows snapshots of a drive by the ocean. No sound accompanied the videos, and they were posted without captions.

Rodrigo’s smash hit ‘Drivers License’ has been at the top of the Billboard charts since its release.

Justin Bieber has achieved his eighth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with Justice. Justice knocked Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album, down to No. 3; Dangerous had spent 10 consecutive weeks in a row, all from its debut, at No. 1.

27-year-old Bieber is also the youngest solo artist with eight No. 1 albums; Elvis Presley was previously held that title as the youngest artist to achieve that feat.

Lana Del Rey’s Chemtrails Over the Country Club took the No. 2 spot, with Wallen’s Dangerous falling to No, 3, Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon down two spots to No. 4, and Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia dropping to No. 5.

Texas Rangers DH Khris Davis to miss start of season due to quad injury

tmpdaae5978-bef3-4475-92ff-6ea8c64b3391-jpg

The Texas Rangers will be opening their 2021 MLB season without DH Khris Davis due to his left quadriceps injury. Rangers general manager Chris Young said Wednesday that Davis will miss three to four weeks due to the strain, which occurred Tuesday when Davis ran out a bunt single in a spring training game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Rangers manager Chris Woodward told reporters Wednesday: “We’ll see how it works out, and obviously we have a few more roster decisions to make. I don’t know for sure how we’re going to move on from here, but we still got some more decisions to make.”

The Oakland Athletics traded the 33-year-old Davis to the Rangers in February. Davis hit .200 with two home runs and 10 RBIs in 30 games last season for the Athletics, and has hit at least 42 home runs in each season from 2016 through 2018. He hit an MLB-best 48 homers in 2018.
