Robert Smith has achieved a career-first thanks to Olivia Rodrigo.
The Cure frontman's collaboration with the pop star, "what's wrong with me," has entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #17, marking Smith's debut on the all-genre chart as a solo artist.
While this marks the first time Smith has charted on the Hot 100 under his own name, The Cure has notched 14 entries on the ranking. They peaked at #2 in 1989 with the Disintegration single "Lovesong."
"What's wrong with me" marks Smith's second-highest charting hit overall, falling in between "Lovesong" and The Cure's "Friday I'm in Love," which peaked at #18 in 1992.
"What's wrong with me" appears on Rodrigo's new album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which also includes a song literally called "the cure." It follows Rodrigo's live collaboration with Smith at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival.
While Rodrigo is obviously a big fan of Smith and The Cure, they won't be performing at her newly announced Daisy Chain Fields festival in August, which is made up of entirely women and female-fronted bands. It does include a number of seminal alternative bands, though, including Garbage, The Breeders and Bikini Kill.

Amy Lee's voice is being brought to life in a different way than usual.
The Evanescence frontwoman's vocals have been turned into a score for an upcoming short film called The Seventh Turn.
According to a press release, composer Michael Wandmacher "sculpted a complete sonic metamorphosis of Lee's voice by transforming her vocal DNA into a 'biological synthesizer' generating bells, keys, percussion, strings, FX, and complex atmospheres, proving that a single human voice can generate an entire cinematic world."
The release adds the project was completed without "physical instruments, synthesizers, samplers, and AI."
"I had an unusual idea, if it is possible to create an entire score with only voices—not just the choral, vocal, and FX parts, but the whole score, where the voices substitute for the instruments, yet it doesn't sound like that," Wandmacher says in a statement.
"It's very inspiring when there is this wild concept, and it gives you a bit of a roadmap," Lee adds. "I thought, 'Here are our parameters of what we're allowed to do, and what we're not.' There are no instruments, no nothing, just only vocals. Even if they are effected or put through things, that's fine. Every single thing is sourced from a voice. You can imagine how fun that is for a vocalist to hear that assignment and hearing it work so well."
You can check out a preview of what that will sound like in the teaser for The Seventh Turn. The film will premiere July 1 via the streaming platform Kinema.
Lee is currently on tour with Evanescence in support of their new album, Sanctuary.

Clive Davis, the record executive known as "the man with the golden ears," has died of age-related illness, according to his family. He was 94.
Davis either discovered, signed or guided the careers of artists including Bruce Springsteen, Chicago, Aerosmith, Billy Joel, Janis Joplin, Alicia Keys, Patti Smith and Whitney Houston.
A statement from Davis' family read, "To the world, our father was the iconic music legend whose vision, instincts, and relentless pursuit of excellence shaped the soundtrack of countless lives. He discovered, mentored, and championed the greatest artists in modern music history, leaving an indelible mark on culture that will endure for generations."
"To his family, Clive was Dad and Granddaddy, the steady presence at the center of our lives, the source of wisdom, strength, encouragement, and unconditional love. No matter how extraordinary his professional accomplishments, he never lost sight of what mattered most: the people he loved."
A lawyer by trade, New York City-born Davisjoined Columbia Records as assistant counsel in 1960. He was made president of the label by 1967 and helped to bring it into the rock era, signing acts such as Joplin's band Big Brother and the Holding Company; Santana; Blood, Sweat & Tears; and Pink Floyd.
After being fired from Columbia in 1973, he started his own labels, Arista Records and J Records, and worked for BMG and Sony Music Entertainment. Over that time, he helped revive the careers of Dionne Warwick, Santana, the Grateful Dead, Rod Stewart and Aretha Franklin; gave Barry Manilow his first #1 with "Mandy"; identified Whitney Houston as a future star and signed her at age 19; and released Alicia Keys' 2001 Grammy-winning debut album, Songs in A Minor.
Other acts Davis worked with over the years included Barbra Streisand, Sarah McLachlan, Carly Simon, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Kenny G, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Kinks, Annie Lennox, Toni Braxton, Luther Vandross, Maroon 5 and Usher.
Davis also worked closely with American Idol in the show's early years, heading the label that released the music of winners and finalists such as Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Fantasia Barrino, Jennifer Hudson, Ruben Studdard and Jordin Sparks.
Davis' annual star-studded pre-Grammy parties became legendary and often served as a launching pad for the artist he was focusing on at the time. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 as a non-performer.
His 2013 autobiography, The Soundtrack of My Life, was a New York Times bestseller. The 2017 documentary Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives, is currently available on Netflix.
Davis, who at age 80 revealed that he was bisexual, is survived by three sons, a daughter, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, as well as his partner. His two marriages ended in divorce.

"I have loved guitars for as long as I can remember, since the first one I got at the age of five," Marr says in a statement. "Each guitar I have acquired over the past 50 years or so has helped me evolve as a musician, bringing new songs, new sounds and techniques."
"It's bittersweet to be parting with these guitars but I want them to go to new homes and new people who will love them as much as I have," he adds. "I hope they bring as much joy, inspiration and fun – and new songs – as they have given me."
A press release notes that Marr will "donate 100% of the hammer price of 10 lots to benefit The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and The National Autistic Society."

An official statement on the death of Oliver Tree has been posted to the "Life Goes On" artist's social media.
As previously reported, Tree died June 14 in a helicopter crash in Brazil. He was 32.
"Your legacy will live on forever," the post reads. "Thank you to everyone who has reached out, shown love, support and has done incredible tributes for Oliver. The constant love, support and positivity is helping the family, friends and collaborators make it through these extremely difficult times."
The post notes that Tree is now "back in California where he can finally rest" and that a foundation called Dr. Oliver Tree's Extremely Epic Grant for Baby Geniuses will be established in his memory.
"This is something that Oliver had put together before his passing, written in his will," the post reads. "We will make sure his wish comes to fruition so that more joy, love and art can be spread into the world, that was his final wish."
Indeed, Tree spoke about his idea for the foundation in an interview on the Zach Sang Show, which was published in April. In the interview, which was widely shared following Tree's death, Tree noted that the purpose of the foundation wasn't to fund music education, but rather the "actual physical making of art."
"You're allowed to physically hire people to help produce stuff," Tree explained. "You're allowed to rent gear and equipment to make things. You're allowed to use the budget to physically produce stuff."
The social media statement concludes, "Love you all so much, Oliver would be so proud of every one of his supporters, friends and family. Peace be with Oliver."
