Even a side project from Ms. XCX is an event

Variety has selected 'The Most Anticipated Albums of 2026' including

Charli XCX, ‘Wuthering Heights’ (Feb. 13)

Charli has been known to veer between pure pop and edgier modes, and her soundtrack for Emerald Fennell’s Emily Brontë movie adaptation is surely veering toward the latter, based on the first teased song, a collaboration with Velvet Undergrounder John Cale. So maybe it won’t show up as a meme affecting pop culture and even electoral politics, but even a side project from Ms. XCX is an event, post-“Brat.” (Chris Willman, Jem Aswad, Steven J. Horowitz)

A contributor to Mamamia discusses the 'unbothered wife'.

I was scrolling on Instagram when I noticed that my feed was flooded with girls posting their engagement announcements (collaborated with their fiancé ofc), 15-slide carousels of anniversary celebrations (solely photos of him sitting across the table) and seven Instagram story slides recapping HIS birthday — complete with a caption that reads like an automated LinkedIn post written by Emily Brontë.

Contiki 'explores' Wuthering Heights. A contributor to El diario montañés (Spain) discusses it too. Paloma & Nacho (in Spanish) includes Cathy and Heathcliff among the 'most controversial couples' in the movies.
