Now that their comeback has been officially sanctioned by Mother Monster herself, No Doubt should not have a problem reclaiming the top of the charts.
The first single, “Settle Down,” from their highly anticipated sixth album, Push and Shove, will be released on July 16 with the album dropping just two short months later, on September 25. To refresh your memory, it’s been almost 11 years since the band released their last studio album, Rock Steady, and in the time since, they've released a greatest hits album, lead singer Gwen Stefani was sweetly inescapable as she embarked on a massively successful solo career and bassist Tony Kanal produced hits for artists including Pink, Shontelle and even Gwen. Guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young settled down and had a couple of children, as did Gwen and Tony, but apparently there are only so many times a rocker can watch...

Some of the best metal bands in the world come from the Scandinavian nation, including At the Gates and Opeth. The Swedes have produced some remarkable films, especially the work of Ingmar Bergman ("Scenes from a Marriage," "Through a Glass Darkly"), Jonas Akerlund (many music videos, including Madonna's "Ray of Light" and Lady Gaga's "Telephone"), Tomas Alfredson ("Let the Right One In") and Lasse Hallstrom ("What's Eating Gilbert Grape," "Chocolat"). They've also got a great tradition of indie rock (The Hives, the Cardigans) and deliciously streamlined (and insanely catchy) dance pop from the likes of Abba and Ace of Base. The latter group stormed the American charts in the early '90s, beginning with their debut album The Sign, which was released on this day...
