Sheily Belhaj treedt toe tot de hoofdredactie van NOS Nieuws. Vanaf 1 januari 2027 wordt ze adjunct-hoofdredacteur. Ze volgt Bart Leferink op, die na bijna 15 jaar uit de hoofdredactie stapt. De 37-jarige Belhaj werkt sinds 2017 bij de NOS. Ze begon haar carrière daar als buitenlandredacteur bij het NOS Radio 1 Journaal. Daarna werd ze eindredacteur bij NOS Stories en was ze ook enige tijd nieuwscoördinator bij de online redactie. De laatste 2,5 jaar was ze chef bij NOS Stories. Voordat ze bij de NOS begon, werkte ze bij de NTR en de VPRO. Ze deed haar opleiding aan de School voor Journalistiek in Utrecht, studeerde daarna Arabische taal en cultuur aan de Universiteit Utrecht en deed nog een master Religiewetenschappen. Relevant en aansprekend Hoofdredacteur Giselle van Cann reageert verheugd op het toetreden van Belhaj. "Sheily combineert journalistiek vakmanschap met een sterk gevoel voor wat er leeft onder verschillende doelgroepen, en wat nodig is om het nieuws op een relevante en aansprekende manier naar hen te vertalen. Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat ze een belangrijke bijdrage zal leveren aan de verdere ontwikkeling van onze redactie." Belhaj vindt het een eer om adjunct-hoofdredacteur te worden. "Bij NOS Stories heb ik geleerd dat je de belevingswereld, zorgen en vragen van je publiek heel serieus moet nemen. Daar wordt de journalistiek herkenbaarder, inclusiever en dus sterker van." De hoofdredactie van NOS Nieuws bestaat naast Van Cann en straks Belhaj ook uit plaatsvervangend hoofdredacteur Wilma Haan, en adjuncten Lucas Waagmeester en Karina ter Horst.

Cabaretier Herman Finkers is uitgeroepen tot de grootste Twentenaar. Die titel kreeg hij van dagblad Tubantia na een publieksstemming en jurybeoordeling. De 71-jarige Finkers was het vaakst voorgedragen en kreeg veruit de meeste stemmen. De in 2003 overleden dichter en liedjesschrijver Willem Wilmink werd tweede. De eveneens overleden Leendert Overduin eindigde op de derde plek. Hij leidde in de Tweede Wereldoorlog een organisatie voor hulp aan Joden. Finkers reageerde op de voor hem kenmerkende droge, relativerende manier op de titel. "De grootste Twentenaar áller tijden. Nou, daar denkt mijn vrouw heel anders over." Finkers sprak van "een eervolle vergissing". "Maar ik vind het heel lief van al die mensen die op mij hebben gestemd." Finkers werd geboren in Almelo en groeide daar ook op. In zijn werk komt Twente regelmatig aan bod. Zo bracht hij in 2020 de Twentse speelfilm De beentjes van Sint-Hildegard uit. En vorige maand verscheen, mede op initiatief van Finkers, de heruitgave van de Biebel in de Tweantse sproake van Anne van der Meiden.

Een decennia oud popfestival op een Nederlandse en de internationale Unesco-lijst met immaterieel erfgoed. Als het aan de provincie Limburg ligt, krijgt Pinkpop in Landgraaf deze status. Daarvoor stemden gisteren de Limburgse Provinciale Staten met een tweederdemeerderheid. In de motie verzocht de VVD-fractie het provinciebestuur om "de haalbaarheid en het draagvlak te onderzoeken voor opname van de Pinkpopcultuur in de Inventaris Immaterieel Erfgoed Nederland en een mogelijke toekomstige Unesco-voordracht". Een hele eer, vindt festivaldirecteur Tirsa Creusen het plan. "Wij zijn trots op onze roots in Limburg, het is heel mooi om te zien dat die liefde wederzijds is. We vinden het een symbolische liefdesverklaring." Dat die liefde wederzijds is, valt te lezen in de motie. "Pinkpop is meer dan muziek. Het is een Limburgs succesverhaal dat generaties verbindt, ondernemers kansen biedt en onze provincie internationale uitstraling geeft. Een traditie die hier is ontstaan, verdient het om behouden, doorgegeven en wereldwijd onder de aandacht gebracht te worden." Pinkpop werd in 1970 voor het eerst georganiseerd en staat sinds 2012 op de Guinness World Records-lijst als het langstlopende jaarlijkse festival. "Hoe we dat volhouden? We boeken de relevante acts van het moment en kijken wat de potentiële headliners van de toekomst zijn. Die proberen we in de vroege jaren een plek op het podium te geven zodat ze kunnen doorgroeien", vertelt Creusen. Verenigingen tappen bier Zelf groeide zij ook door: Creusen is geboren en getogen in de buurt van het festivalterrein en werkt er 15 jaar voor. Sinds vorig jaar vormt ze met Ide Koffeman de directie, nadat medeoprichter Jan Smeets in 2022 afscheid nam. Veel Landgraafers en andere Limburgers zijn bij het festival betrokken. "Alle barren worden beheerd door lokale verenigingen. Hier werken mensen van 18 die voor het eerst werkervaring opdoen, en mensen van 70 steken de handen uit de mouwen en tappen biertjes." Doorbraak in Nederland En soms komt een band of een artiest die eerder optrad, terug. Zoals Nothing But Thieves, dat na vier shows komend jaar weer optreedt in Landgraaf. En Sting, die er in 1979 met The Police optrad. Het betekende de doorbraak van de band in Nederland. "Sting wilde graag terugkomen en voor ons is dit heel speciaal. Na bijna 50 jaar is hij nog steeds relevant." Om immaterieel erfgoed te worden, moet het festival eerst op de inventaris komen van het Kenniscentrum Immaterieel Erfgoed Nederland. Daar staan ruim 400 vormen van immaterieel erfgoed op. Vervolgens kan de minister van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap (OCW) na advies van de Raad voor Cultuur erfgoed nomineren voor de internationale lijst. Het proces duurt jaren dus wat dat betreft verandert er de komende edities nog niks voor festivalgangers, artiesten en medewerkers. Welk Nederlands erfgoed staat al op de Unesco-lijst?

Journalist en oud-correspondent Thomas Loudon is overleden. Hij kampte met neuro-endocriene tumoren (NET), een langzaam groeiende vorm van kanker. Vorig jaar kreeg hij de diagnose en deze week overleed hij daaraan. Hij was 56 jaar. In 2001 werd Loudon de eerste Nederlandse (video)journalist die zich na de Islamitische Revolutie in Iran vestigde. Hij deed in diverse talen verslag van ontwikkelingen in Iran, Afghanistan en het noorden van Irak voor onder meer de NOS, Trouw en Elsevier, maar ook voor buitenlandse media als CNN, het Chileense Canal 13 en Asia TV in Singapore. Egypte en Jordanië In 2003 trok hij naar de Egyptische hoofdstad Caïro, waar hij Midden-Oostencorrespondent werd voor de NOS. Daarna deed hij dat vanuit Jordanië. Hij maakte onder meer verhalen over de Amerikaanse oorlog in Irak. Correspondent bleef hij tot begin 2007, waarna hij terugkeerde naar Nederland. In de jaren daarna was hij actief als docent journalistiek in Groningen en Rotterdam. Ook richtte hij zijn eigen organisatie op om journalisten te ondersteunen in landen waar de persvrijheid onder druk staat. Daarnaast ontwikkelde Loudon platforms voor videojournalisten en voor politieke cartoons. De laatste jaren was Loudon actief als documentairemaker. Hij spitste zich toe op thema's als economische groei, afval en duurzaamheid. Daarnaast was Loudon ook nog acteur. Hij speelde rollen in onder meer de series De Joodse Raad, Flikken Maastricht, Gooische Vrouwen en The Spectacular.

Hij had er 176 shows voor nodig in 67 steden in dertig landen op vijf continenten: de Canadese r&b- en popartiest The Weeknd heeft met zijn After Hours til Dawn Tour liefst 1,3 miljard dollar verdiend. Dat is het hoogste bedrag voor een wereldtournee van een mannelijke soloartiest ooit. Dat maakte zijn tourpromotor Live Nation gisteravond bekend, kort na zijn laatste optreden in de Maleisische hoofdstad Kuala Lumpur. Met zijn tour, die begon in juli 2022 in het Lincoln Financial Field-stadion in Philadelphia, stoot The Weeknd de Britse zanger Elton John van de eerste plaats. Die haalde tussen 2018 en 2023 met de Farewell Yellow Brick Road-tour rond de 939 miljoen dollar op. Ook in de Johan Cruijff Arena In totaal verkocht The Weeknd, bekend van miljarden keren gestreamde hits als Blinding Lights, Starboy en The Hills, de afgelopen jaren negen miljoen kaartjes. In juli van dit jaar stond hij drie avonden in een uitverkochte Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam. Ook trok hij ongeveer een half miljoen mensen naar Parijs, zo'n 450.000 mensen naar Londen en verkocht hij zeven keer het SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles uit. Het meest verdiende hij in Zuidoost-Azië: daar haalde hij alleen al dit jaar met zeventien optredens 500 miljoen dollar op. Ondanks alle duizelingwekkende bedragen is de stadiontour van de 36-jarige wereldster niet de meest lucratieve aller tijden. Eerder verdiende Taylor Swift zo'n 2 miljard dollar met haar muzikale wereldreis en de Britse band Coldplay zong tussen 2022 en 2025 1,5 miljard bij elkaar. Het verdiende geld houdt The Weeknd niet allemaal voor zichzelf. Live Nation maakte bekend dat de Canadees 8,5 miljoen dollar overmaakt aan goede doelen gericht op onderwijs en armoedebestrijding.

De samenvattingen van de VriendenLoterij Eredivisie blijven ook de komende vijf jaar te zien bij de NOS. Het contract is verlengd tot en met het seizoen 2031/32 en omvat zowel de eredivisie voor mannen als die voor vrouwen. Ook blijft de NOS de liveverslaggeving op de radio verzorgen in NOS Langs de Lijn. Met de nieuwe overeenkomst krijgt de NOS ruimere mogelijkheden om hoogtepunten en samenvattingen snel en uitgebreid online en via sociale media te delen. Ook zijn er mogelijkheden om samenvattingen uit de eerste divisie en de eredivisie voor vrouwen te laten zien. "We zijn ontzettend blij met deze verlenging", zegt Xander van der Wulp, hoofdredacteur van NOS Sport. "De samenvattingen van de eredivisie horen bij de NOS. Ook in tijden waarin we kritisch naar onze uitgaven moeten kijken, is het belangrijk dat het Nederlandse voetbal bij de publieke omroep voor iedereen toegankelijk blijft." Van der Wulp vervolgt: "Het vertrouwde bord-op-schootmoment op NPO 1 blijft, maar met deze overeenkomst krijgen we ook meer mogelijkheden om voetballiefhebbers te bereiken die de eredivisie op andere manieren volgen, bijvoorbeeld via NPO Start, onze app en sociale media. Zo kunnen we verschillende generaties voetballiefhebbers enthousiast maken voor de eredivisie."

De Deense acteur en komiek Rasmus Wallbridge was dolblij dat hij een film mocht maken. Zijn droom ging in vervulling, dacht hij. Maar na maandenlang werken aan de 'film' kreeg Wallbridge te horen dat hij genept was. Hij was nietsvermoedend de hoofdrolspeler geweest van een verborgen tv-show. Tv-programma Alle elsker Rasmus (Iedereen houdt van Rasmus) heeft in Denemarken tot een storm van kritiek geleid. De zes afleveringen zijn offline gehaald en de makers hebben hun excuses aangeboden aan Wallbridge. De komiek trad gisteravond voor het eerst weer op en kreeg bij opkomst een staande ovatie van het publiek. "Het was ontroerend en geweldig om te zien", zei een toeschouwer na afloop tegen Deense media. Hij omschreef het als "een knuffel van op afstand" voor de man die ongevraagd in een mediastorm was terechtgekomen. Truman Show-achtig De situatie doet denken aan de Amerikaanse film The Truman Show. In die film uit 1998 komt hoofdrolspeler Jim Carrey erachter dat zijn leven volledige in scène is gezet. Zijn naasten blijken allemaal acteurs in een soort realitysoap. Hoofdpersonage Truman Burbank brengt zijn leven door op een grote filmset. Bij Alle elsker Rasmus waren zo'n 150 vrienden, acteurs, bekendheden en collega-acteurs van de Deense dertiger onderdeel van het complot. Ze wisten dat Rasmus niet echt een film mocht maken, maar speelden het mee. In sommige gevallen werd hij door hen ook stiekem gefilmd voor het programma van zender TV2, een publieke omroep. Reactie gemanipuleerd In de laatste aflevering van het programma krijgt Wallbridge in een lege bioscoopzaal te horen dat het filmproject in scène is gezet. Dit wordt hem verteld door zijn vriend en initiatiefnemer van de show, Martin Johannes Larsen. Geluidsdeskundigen hebben vastgesteld dat de reactie van de hoofdpersoon op de bekendmaking is gemanipuleerd door de programmamakers. De harde lach van Wallbridge is een kopie gebleken van een eerdere lach, met knip- en plakwerk eronder gemonteerd. Deze ontdekking heeft de verbijstering over de werkwijze van het team verder aangewakkerd. Larsen heeft op Instagram spijt betuigd aan zijn vriend. "Dit is pesten van het ergste soort", schreef de hoofdredacteur van krant Politiken in een opiniestuk over het programma. Cultuurminister Zenia Stampe noemde de tv-show schandalig en onethisch. Premier Mette Frederiksen sprak gisteren de hoop uit dat deze "ongelukkige kwestie" programmamakers en media aan het denken zet. Nooit meer zoiets maken Wallbridge heeft niet in het openbaar gereageerd. Via sociale media heeft hij TV2 wel opgeroepen om dit soort programma's nooit meer te maken. "Ik heb besloten om me volledig te richten op mijn komende show", schreef hij afgelopen zondag in een verklaring. Dat optreden was gisteravond in Hanstholm. De stand-upcomedian kreeg daar dus een warm onthaal. Wallbridge zei op het podium niets over de rel rondom Alle elsker Rasmus. "Ik denk niet dat je hem moet lastigvallen door steeds maar te vragen hoe het met hem gaat. Als hij zich slecht voelt, voelt hij zich slecht", zei iemand voorafgaand aan het optreden tegen journalisten.

Marco Borsato eist meer dan 431.000 euro terug van de staat, vooral voor advocaatkosten. Dat werd duidelijk in de rechtbank van Utrecht. De zanger werd vorig jaar vrijgesproken voor ontucht met een minderjarig meisje. De zanger maakte deze kosten door het inschakelen van het advocatenkoppel Geert-Jan en Carry Knoops, het inzetten van diverse deskundigen en doordat hij gebruikmaakte van een particulier beveiligingsbedrijf voor zijn reizen naar de rechtszaal. De 59-jarige zanger, die vanochtend zelf in de rechtszaal aanwezig was, werd eind 2025 na een juridisch proces dat vier jaar duurde vrijgesproken van het onzedelijk betasten van een meisje op haar slaapkamer. Haar moeder was de voorzitter van de fanclub van Borsato. De rechter oordeelde dat er onvoldoende steunbewijs was om de beschuldigingen aan het adres van de zanger hard te maken. Het was al bekend dat de zanger de kosten voor zijn advocaten terug wilde hebben, zo'n 389.000 euro. Daar bovenop eist hij nu ook de kosten voor ingehuurde deskundigen op, zo'n 35.000 euro en de kosten die hij maakte voor het inhuren van beveiligers, ongeveer 7000 euro. Het totale bedrag komt daarmee uit op 431.000 euro, inclusief btw. Niet uniek, wel veel aandacht Dat iemand die is vrijgesproken de kosten van zijn verdediging terugvraagt is niet uniek, maar dat er zoveel aandacht voor is wel. Vaak wordt een zaak voor het terugvorderen van gemaakte juridische kosten schriftelijk afgedaan. Of het geld dat wordt teruggevorderd ook daadwerkelijk wordt uitgekeerd, moet worden getoetst door de rechtbank. In de rechtszaal vraagt het Openbaar Ministerie (OM) zich af of alle door Borsato opgeëiste bedragen voor vergoeding in aanmerking komen. Zo wijst het OM erop dat het oordeel van een deskundige niet in het vonnis is gekomen. Ook betwijfelt justitie of alles wat door het advocatenechtpaar Knoops gefactureerd is, vergoed moet worden. Een gedeelte wel, erkent het, maar de kosten van het weerleggen van geruchten in de media bijvoorbeeld niet, zegt het OM. De rechtbank vraagt zich daarnaast af of het nodig was dat Borsato al advocaten inhuurde voordat er daadwerkelijk aangifte was gedaan. Volgens de zanger moest hij dat wel doen omdat hij een publiek figuur is en geruchten over hem "desastreus" konden zijn voor zijn loopbaan. Carry Knoops wijst daarnaast op de enorme omzetdaling van Borsato als zanger vanaf het moment dat de beschuldigingen naar buitenkwamen. Zij vraagt zich af wat vrijspraak waard is als hij zelf voor de gemaakte kosten moet opdraaien. 'Ik wil door met mijn leven' Voordat Borsato de rechtszaal betrad, noemde hij tegenover diverse media het terugvorderen van zijn verdedigingskosten "een principezaak". "Dit hoort bij het systeem en dat is voor mij niet anders dan voor anderen." Ook zei hij "een beetje klaar te zijn" met alles rondom de strafzaak tegen hem en inmiddels te denken aan een comeback als zanger. "Ik wil door met mijn leven, ik wil door met waar ik goed in ben en dat is mijn vak uitoefenen." Borsato gaf aan bezig te zijn met zanglessen en dat dat "opvallend goed" ging. "Heel voorzichtig ben ik wel aan het kijken voor volgend jaar, maar dan moet dit eerst achter de rug zijn." De uitspraak over de door Borsato teruggevorderde kosten wordt verwacht op 27 november.

In twee takes wist hij eind jaren 60 met Everlasting Love een klassieker in te zingen die nog altijd op honderdduizenden streams per maand kan rekenen: Steve Ellis, zanger van de Britse band Love Affair. Afgelopen vrijdag overleed de muzikant op 76-jarige leeftijd, zo hebben naasten van hem bekendgemaakt. Hij kampte al langere tijd met longproblemen. Als 17-jarig broekie zong Ellis in 1967 de wereldberoemde versie van Everlasting Love in, een nummer waar zanger Robert Night kort ervoor succes mee had in de VS. De eerste opname met bandleden van Love Affair viel bij de platenmaatschappij niet in de smaak. Op de tweede versie is alleen Ellis te horen, met ingehuurde muzikanten. "Two takes and done", zei Ellis begin dit jaar nog over de opnames: Door een al dan niet bedachte publiciteitsstunt kreeg het nummer de wind in rug. De tienerjongens stonden in november 1967 voor een fotosessie bij Piccadilly Circus in Londen te blauwbekken. Ellis klom uit baldadigheid in een fontein, kon niet meer naar beneden komen en had hulp van de brandweer nodig. Boete: 12 Britse pond. Gevolg: de band werd Brits voorpaginanieuws. Toen de pers er later lucht van kreeg dat niet de hele band te horen was op de hitsingle, haalden de bandleden daar zelf een beetje de schouders over op. Want de kranten stonden er dan bol van, de commotie deed niets af aan de populariteit van de band in en buiten het VK. Kort erna volgden hits als Rainbow Valley en A Day Without Love. Die singles maakten van Love Affair in korte tijd een grote naam. De band was in 1968 na The Beatles de bestverkopende groep in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Met Everlasting Love wisten ze Hello, Goodbye van The Beatles zelfs van de Britse nummer 1-plek te stoten. In Nederland behaalde de single plek 12 in de Top 40. Elk decennium weer een hit In de loop der jaren is het nummer over eeuwige liefde ook een eeuwige hit gebleken, met een hele trits artiesten die de song hebben gecoverd. Meeste succes daarbij hadden Carl Carlton, duo Rex Smith en Rachel Sweet en Gloria Estefan, en in Europa scoorde de Duitse zangeres Sandra er eind jaren 80 een hit mee. Ook Jamie Cullum en U2 namen populaire versies op. Door al die uitgebrachte versies komt het nummer een bijzondere titel toe: Everlasting Love is in het VK het enige nummer dat een hitnotering heeft gehad in de jaren 60, 70, 80, 90 en 00. Verzoend Na het kortstondige succes van Love Affair wist Ellis nooit meer het grote publiek te bereiken. Hij stapte eind 1969 uit de band, klaar met die ene grote hit, en keerde de muziekindustrie een tijdlang de rug toe. In die jaren werkte hij onder meer in een haven en supermarkt. Maar de muziek bleef lonken en met verschillende bands trok hij alsnog decennia lang het VK door, tot zijn gezondheid het niet meer toeliet. Vanwege longproblemen stopte hij vorig jaar met optreden. Met tegenzin. "Het is een beetje alsof je timmerman bent en je arm verliest", vertelde hij begin dit jaar in gesprek met muzieksite The Strange Brew. Met het onvermijdelijke Everlasting Love verzoende Ellis zich naar verloop van tijd, vertelde hij in datzelfde gesprek. "Ik kan niets op die plaat aanmerken. Het was een geweldig nummer, een geweldig arrangement, een geweldige producer. Alles. Ik had het geluk dat ik het mocht zingen."

De Amerikaanse zakenvrouw en televisiepresentator Martha Stewart heeft haar excuses aangeboden voor haar halloweenkostuum. Zaterdag deelde Stewart een foto van zichzelf, verkleed als iemand die dakloos is. Dit kon rekenen op flink wat kritiek. Op de inmiddels verwijderde foto had Stewart vegen op haar gezicht en droeg ze gescheurde kleding en een muts. Ook hield ze op de foto een bord vast met daarop de tekst "Ik heb honger. Help me!" Er kwamen veel kritische reacties op het kostuum. "Waarom denk je dat mensen die langs de weg liggen te sterven, een kostuum zijn?", schreef iemand onder de Instagrampost. "Kijk eens om je heen, Martha. Mensen hebben het moeilijk hier", klonk het bij een ander. Stewart reageerde gisteren in People Magazine op de ophef. De 85-jarige mediapersoonlijkheid en kookboekauteur zei dat ze overstuur is dat haar kostuum, dat "juist bedoeld was om meer aandacht te vragen voor het zeer ernstige onderwerp dakloosheid", mensen heeft beledigd. "Dat was nooit mijn bedoeling." Tussen 2013 en 2025 is dakloosheid in de Verenigde Staten met 27 procent toegenomen, blijkt uit de officiële cijfers. Er zijn naar schatting ruim 700.000 dak- en thuislozen in het land. "Dakloosheid blijft een van de grootste uitdagingen en lopende crises van de Verenigde Staten", vervolgt de zakenvrouw. Ze legt uit dat ze zich vaak heeft ingezet om dakloosheid aan te pakken, onder meer door goede doelen te steunen. "Ik wil ook blijven helpen een verschil te maken." In de eerste verklaring bood Stewart geen excuses aan, maar die volgden een paar uur later alsnog. Op haar eigen Instagramaccount deelde ze een korte tweede reactie. "Het is moeilijk om toe te geven als je het echt hebt verprutst. Mijn vorige verklaring was niet voldoende." Stewart vervolgt dat ze weet dat veel mensen het economisch moeilijk hebben. "Een kostuum dragen, zoals ik deed, is ongevoelig en niet grappig. Het spijt me heel erg." Stewart heeft de afgelopen decennia een lifestyle-imperium opgebouwd. Haar grote doorbraak was in 1982 met het kookboek Entertaining. In de jaren 90 lanceerde ze haar eigen tijdschrift en was ze te zien in meerdere succesvolle tv-programma's. In 1999 werd ze de eerste vrouwelijke selfmade miljardair in de VS, nadat ze een jaar eerder haar mediabedrijf Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSLO) had opgericht. In 2013 verkocht ze MSLO voor ruim 350 miljoen dollar. In 2004 werd Stewart veroordeeld voor onder meer samenzwering, in een zaak over de verkoop van aandelen van een ander bedrijf. Ondanks haar celstraf van vijf maanden bleef Stewart succesvol. De multimiljonair heeft inmiddels meer dan honderd boeken geschreven.

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) heeft de Amerikaanse president Trump op een lijst gezet van persvijanden. Trump heeft een vermelding 'verdiend' vanwege zijn "ontluisterende reeks aanvallen op de pers", aldus de internationale belangenorganisatie voor journalisten. In de lijst heeft RSF 33 'persvrijheidsroofdieren' opgenomen. Ze hebben gemeen dat ze allemaal de persvrijheid haten, onafhankelijke stemmen onderdrukken en het recht op vrije informatie vertrappen, aldus de organisatie. Trump maakt als president gebruik van "verbale aanvallen" tegen journalisten en juridische intimidatie. Volgens RSF heeft het er alle schijn van dat de president de onafhankelijke journalistiek wil dwingen om zijn politieke belangen te dienen. Met Poetin, Bin Salman en Akhundzada RSF refereert onder meer aan het beperken van de toegang van journalisten tot het Witte Huis en het Pentagon, waarbij Trump hem goedgezinde media voorrang geeft en gevestigde media geregeld beticht van fake news. Daarmee ondermijnt hij "constitutionele garanties voor een vrije pers en bedreigt hij de toegang van burgers tot betrouwbaar, onafhankelijk nieuws". Ook spande Trump tal van rechtszaken aan tegen mediaorganisaties. Gisteren nog kwam zo'n zaak in het nieuws, die tegen The Wall Street Journal: een federale rechter wees Trumps eis voor een schadevergoeding van 10 miljard dollar af. Andere zaken, waaronder tegen de BBC, lopen nog. Trump staat op de lijst te midden van dictators en autocratische leiders, onder wie de Russische president Poetin, president Ortega van Nicaragua, de Turkse president Erdogan, de Saudische leider Mohammed bin Salman en de Afghaanse Taliban-leider Haibatullah Akhundzada. Ook het Israëlische leger, de Chinese Communistische Partij en het Mexicaanse drugskartel Jalisco staan vermeld. AI-content Alphabet, het bedrijf achter Google en YouTube, wordt eveneens uitgelicht als vijand van de vrije media. Het bedrijf krijgt, net als Meta (van Facebook, Instagram), een vermelding in de categorie 'economie - zij ruïneren media financieel'. RSF schrijft dat lezers via Google worden weggeleid van traditionele media en in plaats daarvan AI-gegenereerde content voorgeschoteld krijgen, waarbij veelal informatie van diezelfde traditionele media wordt gebruikt. Advertentie-inkomsten komen ondertussen vooral terecht bij de techbedrijven. Elon Musk heeft de lijst ook gehaald.

De Amerikaanse dj en producer Juan Atkins is op 64-jarige leeftijd overleden. Dat meldt zijn management. Atkins geldt als een van de grondleggers van de technomuziek. Zijn lichaam werd zaterdag gevonden in een hotelkamer in Mexico-Stad, waar hij zou optreden. In het ziekenhuis werd vastgesteld dat Atkins was overleden. De doodsoorzaak is niet bekendgemaakt. Atkins werd geboren in Detroit, met Derrick May en Kevin Saunderson vormde hij begin jaren 80 de Belleville Three. Ze ontwikkelden in die tijd muziek die bekend werd als Detroit techno. Atkins wordt ook gezien als degene die de naam techno bedacht. In 1988 bracht hij de track Techno Music uit, die verscheen op een compilatie-album van Detroit-technotracks. Daarmee maakte ook het Europese publiek kennis met Detroit techno. Met zijn muziek had Atkins dan ook grote invloed op de ontwikkeling van de elektronische dansmuziek wereldwijd. Het invloedrijke Amerikaanse muziekblad Rolling Stone concludeerde in 2022 dan ook stellig: "Atkins heeft techno uitgevonden, punt uit. Hij bracht het tot leven en gaf er een naam aan." Kraftwerk 3FM-dj Justin Verkijk sprak Atkins dit voorjaar nog, toen hij voor zijn podcast Als Muren Konden Praten naar Detroit reisde. Verkijk zegt dat Atkins in zijn begintijd geïnspireerd was door de Duitse band Kraftwerk. "Hij probeerde het na te maken, maar het werd anders, een eigen interpretatie. Er zat misschien meer gevoel in." Verkijk herinnert zich een man die niet graag terugkeek. "Gek genoeg, voor iemand die zo'n belangrijke rol heeft gespeeld in de muziekgeschiedenis." Atkins maakte op de 3FM-dj een fragiele indruk. "Toen hij binnenliep voor dat interview dacht ik: gaat deze man de kerst nog wel halen? Hij moest een paar keer stoppen omdat hij zo erg aan het hoesten was, en er was iets met zijn been." Financieel onafhankelijk werd Atkins ondanks zijn pionierswerk waarschijnlijk nooit, denkt Verkijk. "Hij reisde nog de hele wereld rond, omdat hij van optreden houdt maar waarschijnlijk ook om geld in het laatje te brengen." Dekmantel In de jaren 90, techno was inmiddels alom aanwezig, stortte Atkins zich op het project Infiniti, waarmee hij verder experimenteerde. In 1996 kwam The Infinity Collection uit, in 1998 Skynet. Na 2000 was hij minder productief qua albums. Hij ging samenwerken met een andere grote naam in de technowereld, Moritz von Oswald. Ze vormden het duo Borderland en brachten twee albums uit. In 2023 bracht hij onder Cybotron, waaronder hij in zijn jonge jaren ook optrad, nieuwe muziek uit en trad hij live op. Dit jaar trad hij nog op op het Amsterdamse festival Dekmantel en vorige maand was hij te gast bij ADE in Amsterdam, waar hij optrad met zijn dochter. Kevin Saunderson noemt Atkins "een ware visionair die vele deuren heeft geopend, ook voor mij". Verder schrijft hij: "De weg die we samen hebben afgelegd, heeft muziek voor altijd veranderd. Ik zal hem altijd dankbaar blijven voor zijn vriendschap, zijn sturing en voor alles wat hij onze scene heeft gegeven".

De Amerikaanse regisseur Michael Mann is kort in het ziekenhuis opgenomen nadat hij zichzelf per ongeluk in een van zijn benen had geschoten. Zaterdag ging het mis op een schietbaan in Los Angeles, toen hij bij een oefening zijn wapen probeerde op te bergen. Dat meldt nieuwsmedium Variety. Het wapen ging af terwijl het in de holster zat. Mann liep een oppervlakkige verwonding op, laat zijn woordvoerder weten. Hij is een ervaren schutter, benadrukt de woordvoerder. De 83-jarige Mann mocht later op de dag het ziekenhuis verlaten. De regisseur is vooral bekend van de politieserie Miami Vice (1984-1989). Ook maakte hij de films Heat (1995), The Insider (1999) en Collateral (2004). Momenteel werkt hij aan een vervolg op Heat. De misdaadfilm, met acteurs Al Pacino en Robert De Niro in de hoofdrollen, bleek een groot succes. De film bracht wereldwijd ruim 187 miljoen dollar op. Het vervolg is gebaseerd op de gelijknamige roman die Mann samen met auteur Meg Gardiner in 2022 uitbracht.

Wie zondagavond naar het NOS Journaal van 20 uur keek, zag voor het eerst een nieuw vormgegeven Journaal, vanuit een compleet vernieuwde studio. Dezelfde studio, de drukstbezette van Hilversum, wordt ook gebruikt voor het NOS Journaal van 18 uur, het NOS Jeugdjournaal, Nieuwsuur en het nieuwe programma NOS Weer. De komende tijd volgen er ook aanpassingen aan de vormgeving op online platformen van de NOS. Dit alles komt voort uit een voortdurend streven naar het moderniseren van onze journalistieke vertelvormen en het vergroten van de herkenbaarheid van onze verhalen. Het is niet meer vanzelfsprekend dat ons nieuws door iedereen wordt gevonden, in een medialandschap dat tegenwoordig versnipperd is en deels door algoritmen wordt gestuurd. Wij moeten harder dan ooit ons best doen om goed aan te sluiten bij ons publiek, bij jou. Dat begint natuurlijk bij de hoge eisen die we zelf stellen aan onze journalistieke kwaliteit. Dat we nieuws brengen dat ertoe doet, vanuit zoveel mogelijk perspectieven en voor iedereen in de samenleving. Het betekent ook dat we uitzendingen energiek willen maken, open van toon en aantrekkelijk om naar te kijken. En dat we vormgeving hebben die ons nieuws duidelijk en in één oogopslag onderscheidt van andersoortige, of zelfs onbetrouwbare, informatie. De vernieuwing van onze 'studio 8' is daarom een belangrijke stap. Het decor was na tien jaar en zo'n 20.000 uitzendingen versleten en niet meer aan te passen aan de wensen van nu. Verbouwing De afgelopen maanden kwamen de uitzendingen vanuit een tijdelijke studio, zodat studio 8 kon worden verbouwd. Tegelijkertijd werkten onze teams aan nieuwe vormgeving, leaders, muziek en het format van de uitzendingen. De nieuwe studio is voorbereid op moderne technieken als augmented reality en extended reality. Daar gaan we de komende maanden steeds meer gebruik van maken, op de momenten dat ze ons journalistieke verhaal ondersteunen. Een nieuw decor bouwen we dus niet alleen omdat het oude aan vervanging toe was. Het is ook een investering in de toegankelijkheid van ons nieuws. Betrouwbaar en onafhankelijk De samenleving versnippert en het medialandschap wordt steeds meer gestuurd door ondoorzichtige algoritmes. Daarom is het belangrijk dat juist de betrouwbare en onafhankelijke journalistiek van de NOS vindbaar en voor iedereen herkenbaar blijft, zodat iedereen hetzelfde weet. Dat geldt vanzelfsprekend niet alleen voor onze grootste tv-uitzendingen, maar ook voor de overige Journaals, NOS Studio Sport, de video's op sociale media, onze livestreams, de NOS-site en app of NOS Stories. Een vogelvlucht door de NOS-decors, van vroeger tot nu: De verschillende programma's en platforms gaan duidelijker één familie vormen. Een frisse, herkenbare vormgeving helpt het publiek om de journalistieke herkomst van informatie te herkennen, op welk platform of in welke vorm die informatie ook verschijnt. We zijn, na een lange periode van werk achter de schermen, heel blij dat de vernieuwingen nu voor ons publiek zichtbaar gaan worden. En we zijn ook heel benieuwd wat jij ervan vindt. Heb je vragen, opmerkingen of suggesties? Die zijn allemaal heel welkom: publieksreacties@nos.nl Nieuw: meer weer na het NOS Journaal van 20 uur Maandagavond gaat ook nog NOS Weer in première, een nieuw weerprogramma van drie minuten, dat op werkdagen kort na het NOS Journaal van 20 uur wordt uitgezonden. Het weerbericht in het Journaal blijft onveranderd, maar wie meer wil weten, wordt door onze meteoroloog van dienst verder bijgepraat. Zo komt er bijvoorbeeld ruimte voor meer uitleg over hoe het weer van de komende dagen tot stand komt. Ook de weertrends op de langere termijn kunnen aan de orde komen, net als de oorzaken van weerfenomenen, bijvoorbeeld saharastof dat richting Nederland waait. Of het kan gaan over overstromingen en droogtes, en hun relatie met het veranderende klimaat. Mochten er grote regionale verschillen zijn in Nederland, dan wordt de weersverwachting ook meer op de regio toegesneden. NOS Weer wordt wisselend gepresenteerd door Marco Verhoef, Willemijn Hoebert, Peter Kuipers Munneke of Roosmarijn Knol.

Een sterrencast met Oscarwinnaars Dustin Hoffman en Helen Hunt, prachtige beelden in palazzo's in het Italiaanse stadje Lucca en dat allemaal onder leiding van de gewaardeerde en bekende regisseur Peter Greenaway; de film Lucca Mortis heeft het allemaal. Het Nederlands Filmfonds steekt er ruim vijf ton subsidie in, om Nederlandse makers die bij de film betrokken zijn te helpen. Luister hier: Deze aflevering van De Dag luister je via NPO Luister en alle andere podcastapps. Bevalt het? Vergeet je dan niet te abonneren. Maar een paar jaar na het draaien is de film uitgelopen op een tragedie. Nieuwsuur-verslaggever Fleur Damen dook erin en maakte samen met NRC een reconstructie. Draaidagen gingen niet door omdat de acteurs en crew niet betaald werden, de nabewerking ligt stil omdat facturen niet zijn overgemaakt en regisseur Greenaway is inmiddels niet meer bij de film betrokken. Het Filmfonds zegt er niks van te weten en houdt vertrouwen dat Lucca Mortis op het witte doek zal verschijnen. Wat zegt dat over het maken van dit soort films met subsidies?

"Hij had zijn hart op zijn tong, wat hem een man maakte die je vertrouwde, die je bewonderde en in mijn geval, van wie je hield." Met deze woorden herinnert de acteur Ian McKellen (87) zijn vriend en collega Patrick Stewart. Stewart overleed woensdag op 86-jarige leeftijd in zijn huis in Los Angeles na een kort ziekbed. Stewart en McKellen speelden samen in X-Men-films als respectievelijk Professor X (Charles Xavier) en Magneto. Daarnaast stonden ze samen op het toneel, als jonge acteurs in de Royal Shakespeare Company en later in het stuk Wachten op Godot op het Londense West End en op Broadway in New York. Maar hun vriendschap buiten het scherm en het toneel werd bijna net zo beroemd als hun rollen. Zo bekend zelfs, dat er op YouTube honderden compilaties van de twee te zien zijn. McKellen zegt dat zijn eerste sterke herinnering aan Stewart dateert van het moment dat hij hem op straat in Londen vertelde over een aangeboden hoofdrol in Star Trek. "Maar Patrick, denk eens aan je toneelcarrière in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Wil je echt het risico nemen om jarenlang in Hollywood te verdwalen?", zei McKellen tegen Stewart. "Nou, hij nam het risico en gelukkig maar", vervolgt McKellen, om vervolgens de hoogtepunten uit de carrière van zijn vriend op te sommen. Uit alle reacties van collega's komt naar voren hoezeer Stewart als vriend wordt gemist. De Australische acteur Hugh Jackman, die Wolverine speelde in de X-Men-films, noemt hem "een geweldige vriend en man. Ik heb zo veel van hem geleerd. Ik zal je missen, Patrick Stewart, mijn hele leven lang". Stewart overleed slechts enkele dagen na Walter Koenig, een andere Star Trek-acteur. William Shatner, die kapitein Kirk speelde in Star Trek, spreekt dan ook van "een hartverscheurende week". Hij noemt Stewart "een vriend, een collega en een magnifieke acteur. Kapitein Picard vertegenwoordigde het beste in ons, en dat gold ook voor de man die hem speelde". Ook Star Trek-acteur George Takei spreekt vol bewondering: "Hij inspireerde een heel nieuwe generatie sterrenkijkers die vol verlangen uitkeken naar een betere toekomst voor de hele mensheid. We zijn diep bedroefd." Acteur en komiek Ricky Gervais verwijst naar het moment dat Stewart een rol speelde in zijn satirische serie Extras. "Wat een acteur. Ik kan nog steeds niet geloven dat hij ermee instemde om deze scène te doen. En hij vond het zelfs niet erg toen ik elke take verpestte. Legende." In een blooperreel is te zien hoe Gervais steeds in lachen uitbarst als Stewart het woord "knickers", een Britse benaming voor onderbroek, uitspreekt. Ook de maker van American Dad! en Ted, Seth MacFarlane, zegt met plezier met hem te hebben gewerkt en dat hij zo bescheiden was. "Ik herinner me dat ik een aantal jaren geleden e-mails met hem uitwisselde toen hij aan de eerste draaidag van een nieuwe film begon. Hij vertelde me dat hij zich op een nieuwe set altijd voelde als een totale beginner. Mijn verbijsterde reactie was dezelfde als die van iedereen. Ik zei: 'Patrick, als jij je zo voelt, dan zijn wij allemaal verloren.'" Stewart was de verteller in de komediefilms Ted en Ted 2 en speelde een CIA-directeur in American Dad! Volgens MacFarlane was Stewart "een van die zeldzame acteurs die elk stukje dialoog naar een hoger niveau kon tillen, waardoor een goede schrijver geweldig klonk en een geweldige schrijver meesterlijk." Een voorbeeld van Stewart als "stem" in Ted: De actrice Rebecca Romijn, die met Stewart speelde in drie X-Men-films en ook deel uitmaakte van het Star Trek-universum, zegt op sociale media dankbaar te zijn "dat ik hem de afgelopen 25 jaar heb gekend en in zijn nabijheid ben geweest zowel als mede-mutant als als mede-lid van Starfleet. Hij was ronduit geweldig, hilarisch, ondeugend, had een ongelooflijk gevoel voor humor. Ik zal mijn vriend enorm missen. Rust in vrede, Patrick."

I remember when going to a concert was a fairly straightforward affair. You bought a ticket, worked out how to get there and maybe booked the following morning off work if you knew it was going to be a late one. Now people are planning entire holidays around a single night of music. And I can understand why.If you've spent months trying to get Taylor Swift tickets and the only ones available are three states away, suddenly a weekend in another city doesn't seem like such a ridiculous idea. You're already spending money on the concert. Why not make a trip of it?It's happened with Beyoncé, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and plenty of other artists too. A major tour announcement can turn into a conversation about flights, hotels and whether everyone can get the Friday off. // Continue to the full article

Amazon Music today announce the exclusive release of a brand-new, reimagined version of Elton John's holiday classic "Step into Christmas" with Ivor Novello award winner CMAT. Originally written as a thank-you gift to fans, "Step Into Christmas" has become one of the most enduring festive classics. The reimagined version retains the original's lively rock 'n' roll rhythm and joyful singalong chorus, while bringing a fresh new feel with CMAT's undeniably vibrant vocals and new musical elements. With lyrics celebrating the simple pleasures of Christmas, it's the perfect soundtrack to the festive season. One of the most successful and influential artists of all time, EGOT-winning Elton has a career spanning more than five decades. Renowned for his unmistakable voice, flamboyant style and timeless songwriting abilities, the Rocket Man has sold more than 350 million records worldwide, delivered countless global hits and earned some of entertainment's highest honours. // Continue to the full article

Today, GRAMMY-nominated rap powerhouse GloRilla delivers "Jiggly Bow Bow," her highly anticipated new single with multi-platinum-selling rap sensation Sexyy Red. Out now via Yo Gotti's CMG the Label and Interscope Records, the song captures the duo's electric chemistry, unfiltered humor, and shared love of a good time. In addition to making its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, and BET Jams, the song also graces the cover of New Music Daily on Apple Music. Directed by Arrad, the accompanying video leans fully into humor and camp, reimagining GloRilla and Sexyy Red as elderly versions of themselves at a retirement home. Between outrageous twerk moments, flashbacks to their younger years, and hilarious mischief, the rappers prove their turn-up has no expiration date. Produced by Ace Charisma (Cardi B, Big Boogie, NLE Choppa), "Jiggly Bow Bow" channels the sounds of the mid-2000s, drawing inspiration from the late-crunk and early-trap eras. // Continue to the full article

On his 52nd birthday, seven-time Grammy nominee Ryan Adams announces Animal, a ten-track album out February 12, 2027, on his own PAX-AM label. The first single, 'Amethyst', is out now, and the album is available to pre-order on vinyl, CD and digital. Animal is an almost entirely solo record. Adams played drums, bass, guitars, piano, synths, percussion and harmonica himself, and wrote every song. He produced and mixed the album with Dror Mohar, who also engineered it, and it was mastered by Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound. Long-time friend Daniel Clarke adds synths to 'Jesus Christ', 'Animal' and 'Jesus H', and Hammond B3 to 'Soon', where J.C. Khul's saxophone carries the coda. The songs are night-time songs: neon, bar lights, wet streets, a car out on the 101. Adams is wry and exposed; 'Automatic Heart', a confession from someone who 'falls for people all the time'; 'Pass Me By' is a plain-spoken ache; 'Jesus H' asks what the H stands for and answers with a horror-film walk through October streets. // Continue to the full article

New Music Friday arrives with one of the busiest release schedules of the autumn, bringing major returns from Kings of Leon, Lil Baby and Skepta alongside new albums from Rex Orange County, Passenger, James Blunt, Bryan Adams and Dove Cameron. There is also a strong catalogue presence from the Spice Girls, George Michael and Bob Dylan, while the first wave of Christmas singles officially begins to enter the season. Kings of Leon lead the album conversation with O My Beloved, the Tennessee band's tenth studio album. The record finds the group turning inward, with some of their most vulnerable songwriting to date while retaining the expansive rock sound that has carried them from indie clubs to stadiums. After more than two decades together, the band continue to explore new emotional territory without abandoning the direct melodic approach that made them one of the defining American rock acts of their generation. // Continue to the full article

Sync and licensing briefs do not wait for your CMS. A supervisor, agency producer, or brand music lead opens your pitch page while the edit is still moving, often between meetings, often on a laptop or phone under a hard clock. They want one clean one-sheet, a streamable or downloadable reference, clear rights contacts, and metadata that matches the brief. Most will not dig through a fan merch hub to find it.If the sync landing page, private pitch pack, or public licensing hub stalls for a few seconds, that opportunity fades fast. Supervisors do not wait politely while a showreel autoplays or a 200MB ZIP blocks the first tap. They move to the next submission in the folder, another catalogue, or a track they already cleared last quarter.Sync pitch speed is not a fan-conversion problem. // Continue to the full article

For 26 years, the International Space Station (ISS) has had a soundtrack. Since Expedition 1 crew members William Shepherd, Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev arrived on November 2, 2000, humans have lived and worked aboard the ISS without a break — and Astronauts have carried music with them every step of the way. Music has been part of station life almost from the start. According to NASA, space psychologists included instruments in the crew support program after seeing music lift cosmonauts' well-being on Mir. The first instrument, an acoustic guitar, reached the ISS in August 2001, and an electronic keyboard followed that December. Since then, crews have played flutes, a koto, bagpipes and a saxophone that still lives aboard. The Astronaut Agency and National Astronaut Day® press play on that history with Soundtrack of Space: 26 Astronaut Music Memories & Moments and a playlist of songs chosen personally, or music moments created, by Astronauts. // Continue to the full article

Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" continues to rewrite Billboard history, extending its record-breaking run to an extraordinary 26 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Boston rock 'n' roll legends Nervous Eaters have released the video for "Where's Johnny Now," the first single from their forthcoming album, Eat or Be Eaten, out January 15, 2027, via Stevie Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records. Created by Vincent J. Straggas, the video incorporates footage from the 1949 crime film Johnny Stool Pigeon, bringing a vintage cinematic backdrop to the band's snarling guitars and raw garage rock 'n' roll energy. Already part of the Nervous Eaters' live repertoire by 1979, "Where's Johnny Now" reaches back to the band's early days while carrying a message that remains just as urgent: the hope of reaching a friend before they slip too far away. "Everybody has a Johnny in their life, with any luck friends can pull them back into the Real World before he's gone gone gone !" says singer, guitarist and songwriter Steve Cataldo. // Continue to the full article

Colorado folk-punk band Doom Scroll released their new album, Exhausted Dialogue, earlier this month through Flail Records, and the reviews make a strong case that it is one of 2026's records not to be overlooked. Across its 11 tracks, Exhausted Dialogue expands well beyond the usual boundaries of folk-punk. Acoustic guitar, mandolin and washboard percussion collide with punk aggression, catchy melodies and elements of pop-punk, ska, crust-punk, metal and cinematic music. The result is a record that feels bigger and more theatrical than its stripped-down instrumentation might suggest, while remaining rooted in the political frustration, personal struggle and DIY spirit that have defined Doom Scroll from the beginning. Exhausted Dialogue explores internal and external struggles, the exhaustion of fighting the same battles repeatedly and the difficulty of finding any meaningful escape from them. // Continue to the full article

The lauded and multifaceted pianist, songwriter, and composer Stephan Moccio releases Scenes From A Velvet Room (Deluxe Suite) on Decca Records,a deeper exploration of Moccio's early days when he spent six nights a week playing piano in the lobby of the Four Seasons Toronto. The deluxe collection features five additional songs including standout track, "Cuban Cigars and the Scent of Regret," a melodic, contemplative piece that creates space with each note. Debuting this past June, Scenes From A Velvet Room was an album born after a period of introspection and reflection for Moccio. After a quarter-century spent penning iconic melodies, Moccio could easily rest on a catalog of chart-breakers like Celine Dion's "A New Day Has Come," Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball," The Weeknd's "Earned It," and "I Believe," the theme song for the 2010 Winter Olympics. // Continue to the full article

Not every good video starts with an expensive camera or a professional production team. Sometimes, a few clips from a weekend trip, a product demonstration, or a classroom project are enough to tell an interesting story. The real challenge is arranging those clips into something people want to watch.Editing helps connect separate moments, remove distractions, and present information in a natural order. With the right workflow, even beginners can produce videos that look organized and communicate their message clearly.Start With a Story, Not EffectsBefore adding transitions or filters, think about what the audience should understand by the end of the video.

A radio add does not wait for your campaign calendar. A music director puts the track into rotation, a morning show shouts the title, or a streaming radio playlist picks you up overnight, and listeners open Google, Shazam, or your bio while the song is still on air. Most of that traffic is on mobile. Most visitors want one clear path: confirm the artist, stream the track, or find a tour date before the next song starts.If the artist hub, smart link, or single page stalls for a few seconds, that intent fades fast. Searchers do not wait politely while an old merch gallery loads or a dead pre-save URL fails. They tap the first DSP result, a fan wiki, or whatever loaded in the search snippet, and your owned site never gets the follow or the email.Radio add day is not a general SEO problem. // Continue to the full article

This is the latest release from their forthcoming deluxe album titled The Long Surrender and The Fellow Passengers of Pain arriving on November 19 via MCA.

Lil Baby is officially entering his next era, unveiling the tracklist and release date for his upcoming fifth studio album, 'Fresh'. The Atlanta rapper has confirmed that the project will arrive on November 6, with 17 tracks and a guest list that reconnects him with some of the biggest names in modern Southern rap. The most attention-grabbing collaboration is "All My Patnas," which reunites Lil Baby with Future and Young Thug. The three have already proved their chemistry together, most recently on "Dum, Dumb, and Dumber" from Lil Baby's 2025 album 'WHAM', a track that reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. The reunion immediately gives 'Fresh' a distinctly Atlanta identity.

WaterTower Music today releases "Desert Chant," the first single from Dune: Part Three (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), by two-time Academy Award- and five time Grammy-winning composer Hans Zimmer and four-time Academy Award and Grammy nominee Timothée Chalamet. The single is available now on all major digital platforms, ahead of the film's release in theaters and IMAX on December 18, directed by Oscar-nominated Denis Villeneuve. "Desert Chant" begins quietly, with Chalamet humming. Then it opens up into a rousing, epic war chant, setting the tone for the final chapter of Denis Villeneuve's saga. For Zimmer, returning to Arrakis meant returning to the book that first lit his imagination as a teenager, the same book that, years later, would bond him with Villeneuve. // Continue to the full article

Nick Heyward, frontman of HAIRCUT ONE HUNDRED, is returning to the U.S. for a run of 2027 tour dates, marking his first solo tour since 1994. 'I've had people for the last 30 years asking, 'Are you the 'Kite' guy?' and I say 'Yes, indeed. I'm Mr. Kite',' laughs Heyward about his 1993 U.S. solo hit. Reaching #4 in Billboard's Top Alternative Singles, the single's Stateside support has reignited his personal desire to return to the U.S. in support of his solo material. 'They say, 'Please come back to America that song means so much to me,' and so I'm coming back to play acoustically - an acoustic expedition so to speak - to reconnect with people who like my music. My last US tour was in 1994 and I'm really looking forward to playing 'Kite' in America again. It's been too long!' Kicking off on March 4, 2027 in Atlanta, GA, Heyward will play a run of intimate venues across the eastern U. // Continue to the full article

Kristeen Young has released the title track from her upcoming album, 'Full Scrotal Scorpio,' which officially hit streaming today. The song is the title track of her upcoming album, due out this Friday, October 23rd, 2026. Opening with what first sounds like a whimsical piano melody interrupted by something sinister, it soon takes a dark, signature Kristeen Young turn. With its heavy industrial sound and her dissonant piano-bashing style, it resonates something primal and urgent. Her swirling harmonies and astounding vocal patterns come off as deeply human and a true sonic work of art, ripe for personal interpretations. Accompanied by her trusty drummer Jefferson Wayne 'Baby Jef' White manning the kit, together the two create a sound and style not unlike something you might hear Trent Reznor produce. // Continue to the full article

Tim McGraw, Paul Overstreet and the Stanley Brothers were officially inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on Sunday, October 18, during the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's 2026 Medallion Ceremony. But the multiplatinum singer, the ace songwriter, and the bluegrass music pioneers were connected long before they became the 159th, 160th and 161st Hall of Fame members together. Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum CEO Kyle Young, who led the Medallion Ceremony, recounted in his remarks that McGraw arrived in Nashville at 1 a.m. on May 9, 1989, with a pawn shop guitar and an ambitious dream to make country music. Later that morning, the world learned that the young New Traditionalist singer Keith Whitley had died. "Now, some people might call that a bad omen," McGraw said during his induction speech. // Continue to the full article

What's more Christmas-y than a huge, shining mirrored ball hanging from the ceiling, encouraging celebration and, well…dancing? That's right, nothing says 'let's kick off this holiday season' like a trip to the local discotheque; at least, that's what Texas songwriting legend and king of the yearly Christmas tour Robert Earl Keen has in mind as the weather gets colder and the letters to Santa start getting stamped. On December 8th, the Robert Earl Keen Band will embark on their annual holiday tour, inviting fans to 'get down tonight' and every night with a serving of I Will Survive…Christmas. While we're all 'stayin' alive,' we may as well get together and enjoy ourselves with a trip to 'funky town,' aka the REK show, for holiday classics, disco superhits, and, of course, Keen's deep catalog of timeless tunes. // Continue to the full article

A feature or collab announce sends two fanbases to one conversion moment. The lead artist's audience already knows the brand. The featured artist's audience often does not. They arrive from the other artist's Stories, a shared trailer, a dual email blast, or a playlist teaser, and they land cold on a hub they have never visited. Most are on mobile. Most want one clear path: stream the track, follow the right name, or buy the right merch before the next post takes the feed.If your announcement page, smart link, or artist hub stalls for a few seconds, that new audience fades fast. Cold visitors do not hunt through a heavy tour archive or last year's store embeds. They bounce to the featured artist's bio, the DSP search result, or whatever loaded first in the group chat.Collab announce day is not a general website problem. // Continue to the full article

A song appears as a single, returns on an album and turns up again on a compilation. Beside it sit a concert performance, a remix and a shorter edit. The title may barely change, but the recordings behind it certainly can.For a listener, the distinction becomes obvious when the familiar introduction suddenly gives way to crowd noise. For music services and rights organizations, recognizing the version needs something more dependable than a title and an artist name.That is the job of the International Standard Recording Code, or ISRC.
