Too much Idols ain’t enough. Yungblud knows it, and today (Feb. 20), he shows it with the “Complete” edition of his Grammy-nominated Idols.

Billed as Idols II, the extended version includes a fresh batch of seven tracks, including a new version of “Zombie” featuring The Smashing Pumpkins.


Idols (Complete) “Disc 2” also houses the six previously unheard tracks: “I Need You (To Make the World Seem Fine),” “The Postman,” “Time,” “War Part II,” “Blueberry Hill” and “Suburban Requiem.”

“This is it. The second chapter of the Idols story,” the British rocker wrote earlier in the week, announcing the expanded release. “Part 1 was a journey that helped me reclaim my identity from the darkest position I’ve ever been in my life. Part 2 is about realizing that I am alive, that I am real, that this journey that I’ve been on didn’t kill me. It’s about realizing that you can feel invincible when you actually feel yourself. It’s about comprehending that my heart is beating and that my lungs are filling up with air.”

A native of Doncaster, England, Yungblud (real name: Dominic Harrison) is enjoying a bright start to the year. Idols was nominated for best rock album at the 2026 Grammys, and its lead single, “Zombie,” for best rock song. He scooped his first Grammy at the 68th ceremony, winning best rock performance prize for his version of “Changes” performed at the July 2025 farewell show for Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham, England.

Idols (via Universal), Yungblud’s fourth studio album, dropped in June 2025 and gave the artist his third consecutive No. 1 on the Official U.K. Chart. Then, in December 2025, he got a fourth when his collaboration with Aerosmith, One More Time, topped the national tally.

Thanks to his recent tour of Australia, Idols finally climbed to No. 1 on the ARIA Chart in January 2026, his second leader in the land down under, after his self-titled third album spent one week at No. 1 in 2022.

Val Blavatnik to Oversee Warner Music Canada in New Role at Warner Music Group

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
