Music
What's the greatest album cover of all time? Billboard went to work putting together their take on the 100 best album covers.
Here are the top five:
5. Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin
4. The Notorious B.I.G., Ready to Die
3. Patti Smith, Horses
2. The Beatles, Abbey Road
1. The Velvet Underground and Nico, The Velvet Underground and Nico
The Andy Warhol-designed album cover for The Velvet Underground and Nico features a yellow banana and the words "peel slowly and see." The best part — the banana is actually a sticker, and people can peel it off to reveal a pink banana underneath.
Dua Lipa is working on her third studio album, which is said to have more of a psychedelic sound, according to a profile in New York Times Magazine. While the album will still be pop, she's said to be working with Tame Impala's Kevin Parker.
Plus, Taylor Swift announced 1989 (Taylor's Version) which is set to drop October 27.
