From today's featured article  Olivia Rodrigo "Deja Vu" is a song by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo (pictured) from her debut studio album, Sour (2021). Rodrigo wrote the song with its producer, Dan Nigro. Geffen and Interscope Records released it as the album's second single on April 1, 2021. Incorporating various pop sub-genres, "Deja Vu" is about heartbreak and explores Rodrigo's anguish about her ex-partner repeating things they did in his new relationship. It received critical acclaim; many considered it a strong follow-up to "Drivers License" (2021). "Deja Vu" debuted at number eight in the US and made Rodrigo the first artist to debut their first two singles in the top ten, peaking at number three. The song reached the top ten in various countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK. Allie Avital directed the music video, which depicts Rodrigo observing her ex mimic their relationship with his new love interest. Rodrigo performed the song on shows and included it on the set list for her 2022 Sour Tour. (Full article...)

In rugby union, a player achieves a hat-trick by scoring three tries or drop goals in a single match. The first player to achieve the feat was Craig Green (pictured), who scored four tries in New Zealand's 74–13 victory over Fiji during the 1987 Rugby World Cup. His teammate John Gallagher also scored four tries in this match. Besides Green and Gallagher, fourteen players have scored more than three tries in a match; of these, Chris Latham and Josh Lewsey have scored five, while Marc Ellis scored six in New Zealand's 145–17 victory against Japan in 1995. Two of Ellis's teammates, Eric Rush and Jeff Wilson, also scored hat-tricks in this game. Four players have scored a hat-trick of drop goals: Jannie de Beer, Jonny Wilkinson, Juan Martín Hernández and Theuns Kotzé. Of these, de Beer scored the most in one match, with five drop goals in South Africa's 44–21 victory over England in the 1999 Rugby World Cup. (Full list...)
