Senior writers Brian Hiatt and Angie Martoccio join contributing editor Rob Sheffield in the Rolling Stone Studio for a deep dive on our new list of the 200 best rock songs of the 21st century. They go through the methodology (most acts only get one song, with a few exceptions), the arguments (not everyone loves Wheatus' "Teenage Dirtbag"), and the various subgenres represented (from emo to pop/punk to garage-rock revivalists to dance-rock to classic-rock survivors). They also explain why the list was broad enough to include pop stars and rappers along with the bands you might expect, and break down the top 10 in detail. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s been a good year for Christopher Abbott. In February, he was nominated for his first Tony Award for playing Biff Loman in the revival of Arthur Miller’s Death of Salesman. In late July, he welcomed his first child, a daughter, with partner and fellow actor Aubrey Plaza. Weeks later, Marvel announced that Abbott will take on the role of Charles Xavier (Professor X) in the highly anticipated X-Men reboot coming in 2028. And most recently, he stepped into the boots of Adam Trask for Netflix’s buzzy, eight-episode adaptation of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden. One on its own would be a feat. Together, they represent a banner 10 months — and there’s more on the immediate horizon. Abbott stopped by the Rolling Stone Studio to discuss it all, as well as his favorite artists right now (he cues up Drake before boxing), the project of his that he wishes more people had seen, and his disastrous attempts to sneak into auditions as a struggling actor.

Brad Paisley may have written and recorded some of country music’s most humorous songs, but the West Virginia singer-guitarist is also one of its most serious voices. In a special episode of Nashville Now recorded at Paisley’s home studio, he speaks candidly about his song of solidarity with the people of Ukraine, “Same Here,” the opioid crisis in his native Appalachia, his opposition to a proposed Nashville data center, and his commitment to helping those in need with his charitable market, The Store. He also lets us into how he wrote a buzzy new song for South Park, shares his favorite memory of Dolly Parton, and reveals how he helped get William Shatner back into the studio for the actor’s new album Love & Other Mysteries. It’s a wide-ranging conversation with one of country music’s modern-day greats, only on Nashville Now. Country is Here… Nashville is Now. Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly.

Audrey Hobert joins senior writer Angie Martoccio in The Rolling Stone Studio at our New York office for a deep dive into her fantastic debut album ‘Who’s the Clown.’ Hobert reflects on the wild year she’s had since releasing the record, bringing her whimsical, energetic live shows all over the world, connecting with fans, and gaining her first Billboard Hot 100 entry with 'Sue Me'. The 27-year-old songwriter also discusses her love for Steve Martin and Nathan Fielder, her song “Phoebe” and how many times she’s been asked about watching ‘Friends,’ and her real-life friend, Gracie Abrams. She also touches on her relationship with social media, Grammys season, and opening for Charli XCX next year. Read more coverage on Audrey Hobert and ‘Who’s the Clown’ on rollingstone.com.

Yes, Jeremy Allen White — former star of 'The Bear,' the Man Who Would Be Bruce, and extremely handsome actor — is on social media. No, he's not exactly hyped about it. White and Mikey Madison — the costars of 'The Social Reckoning,' Aaron Sorkin's return to the world of Facebook — stopped by the Rolling Stone Studio to talk about their new movie, where the subject of social media naturally came up. The 'Anora' Oscar-winner had Instagram and Facebook accounts when she was 13, she says, before deleting them;: "I think it just never stuck [with me]." White admits that he keeps an Insta for work purposes, but he's still got doubts and fears about the intentions of the companies running them. "They've got billions, they've got trillions, they've changed the way our world works entirely. They have so much of attention. Do they need it all? The genie's out of the bottle. The monster's out of the cage." In other words, don't try to slip into his DMs on Insta. (Also, did you know Madison is an 'Almost Famous' superfan? Who knew?) Learn more about your ad choices.

When Midland debuted in 2017 with their traditional country song “Drinkin’ Problem,” the Texas band stuck out like a sore thumb in Nashville. Now, the trio of Mark Wystrach, Jess Carson, and Cameron Duddy look like trendsetters. All three singer-songwriters join us in the Nashville Now cabin to talk about their influence on today’s country music — you can hear Midland vibes in “Choosin’ Texas.” They also address the authenticity attacks they weathered early in their career, and take us inside their new album Stages, which includes the hits “Marlboro Man” and “Shooting Memories With Tequila.” It’s a particularly wild and loose episode of Nashville Now, hosted by deputy editor Joseph Hudak, who’s followed Midland’s career since the very beginning.

Miranda Lambert joins senior writer Marissa Moss in the Rolling Stone Studio at our New York office to talk about blending country music and disco on her new album Crisco, out now. Along with making an album for country fans, Lambert says her other goal was to create songs that would be right at home at drag shows — according to the Texas native, that’s the epitome of success. She also lets us into her songwriting process and how her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, is slowly becoming a trusted collaborator in the writing room. Our conversation also, naturally, turns to the legacy of Dolly Parton: Lambert says she wouldn’t be where she is today without the influence of the icon.
