Savage Mode II - which bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200, went gold, and closed out the year on multiple year-end lists. Other knockout collaborative albums included
Double or Nothing with
Big Sean and Without Warning with
Offset and 21 Savage, both of which crashed the Top 10 of the Billboard 200.

Weeknd & 21 Savage] and "
Superhero (Heroes & Villains)" [feat.
Future & Chris Brown] each landed in the Top 10 of the Hot 100. It only paves the way for more from Metro.
Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar®-winning Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man™: Across the Spider-Verse. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn's full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters the Spider Society, a team of Spider-People charged with protecting the Multiverse's very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must set out on his own to save those he loves most. Anyone can wear the mask - it's how you wear it that makes you a hero.
