If you like Thriller well enough, but wish it was more metal, you're in luck. Thriller - A Metal Tribute To Michael Jackson is coming out this month and features covers of Michael Jackson hits as performed by members of Guns N' Roses, Motörhead and Iron Maiden. [Blabbermouth]

Lana Del Rey's single, "Summertime Sadness," may have been released ages ago on Born to Die, but it's recently inched its way into the Billboard Top 10 and has sold 1.1 million downloads. Meaning, it's her most successful single to date. [Rolling Stone]

Kings of Leon joined the likes of Alicia Keys and John Mayer last night at the Global Citizen Festival--a concert devoted to ending worldwide poverty. Kings of Leon opened the set with their newest single, "Supersoaker," but also played their hits "Sex on Fire" and "Use Somebody." [MTV News]
