What the hosts said

LGood morning, Tuesday. Ariana Grande just hit a streaming milestone that only a handful of artists have reached.
CPop Crave posted on X: all 19 tracks from her eternal sunshine deluxe have passed 100 million streams.
LEven the Saturn Returns Interlude. The interlude, Claudette.
CThat's the one that just crossed. It's a short spoken word piece, and it's sitting at over 100 million.
LI'll give her this: the whole deluxe album has about 7.6 billion streams. 'we can't be friends' alone is over 2 billion.
CBig numbers, but not unique. Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Olivia Rodrigo have all had every track cross 100 million too.
LStill, this deluxe dropped in March, and it's pulling around 4 million streams a day. That's staying power.
COne correction: the '127th song' claim from Pop Crave, I couldn't verify that. The stream count is solid, but that ranking might be off.
LFair enough. The interlude milestone is real.
LSpeaking of money and tech, the PlayStation 5 homebrew crowd is livid at one of their own this morning.
CWhat happened?
LIGN posted on X that a hacker privately reported an exploit to Sony and reportedly collected fifty thousand dollars.
CFifty thousand, instead of sharing it with the homebrew community? That's the uproar.
LThat reward figure is what people are claiming. No official confirmation yet, but the anger is real.
CI get why. The homebrew scene runs on trust. Reporting a hole to Sony kills the fun for everyone else.
LBut Sony's bug bounty is designed exactly for that: pay you to close the gap.
CI'm not blaming the hacker, but the community feeling is betrayal. That's a cultural split, not a legal one.
LDifferent world entirely: Complex posted on X photos of the Fukang meteorite, found in China in 2000.
CFour and a half billion years old, weighed 2,200 pounds, and has golden crystals that glow when light passes through.
LThat's the kind of rock you build a museum room around. A pallasite, one of the rarest types.
CI want one as a desk paperweight. Not the 2,200 pound version, though.
LMaybe just a small slice. That's your Tuesday morning culture and tech roundup.
