Hey listeners, Lenny Vaughn here, spinning the threads from vinyl grooves to streaming streams, keeping the raw soul of music alive against the algo tide. In the last 24 hours, Michael Jackson's legacy keeps climbing charts worldwide—MJVibe reports "Number Ones" hitting #24 on Billboard 200, #19 in sales, and top spots in vinyl and catalogue, while "Billie Jean" snags 7x platinum in New Zealand and charts globally. "Thriller" and "BAD" are bubbling in Spotify and iTunes across Europe, Asia, and beyond, with his biopic soundtrack now up for pre-order ahead of April 24 shipping. Views on classics like "Billie Jean" video top 2 billion, proving the King's fire still burns.
New Music Friday dropped heat across genres—InMusic Official's playlist spotlights Jack Harlow's album Monica and single "Trade Places," James Blake's Trying Times with its brooding title track, Kacey Musgraves' country-tinged "Dry Spell," Thundercat and Willow's funky "ThunderWave," and electronic bangers like Martin Garrix's "Catharina" and John Summit's "Sata." Pop reunites with Pussycat Dolls' "Club Song," while K-pop shines via P1Harmony's UNIQUE album and YENA's LOVE CATCHER. Beabadoobee teams with The Marías on dreamy "All I Did Was Dream of You," and country gets rowdy from Luke Combs' "I Ain’t No Cowboy" to Lainey Wilson's "Can’t Sit Still."
Industry buzz from Alan Cross: 2027 JUNOS head to Winnipeg for the first time since 2014, classical surges as Millennials' hottest genre, K-pop cash battles rage with China's flex, and a mint 1973 Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon pressing fetched $13,000. Ongoing MJ lawsuits won't delay his biopic premiere, and Tom Morello's Judas Priest doc hits Toronto's Hot Docs next month. SXSW stirs Middle East politics, while Wonderama TV premieres Iris Copperman's anti-bullying video "Bully" nationally today.
From hip-hop to hatsune miku contest runners-up like FEEDBACK, the beat pulses diverse and defiant.
