Swedish metal titans MESHUGGAH have been forced to postpone their US headlining tour to the Fall of 2022.

In an official statement, the band notes, “We regret to inform that MESHUGGAH will have to reschedule their US headlining tour, originally planned for early 2022, to September/October 2022. While the ongoing pandemic has been throwing various curve balls on us all the past year, ultimately delaying the completion of the upcoming MESHUGGAH studio album - there are other concerns that have forced us to make this unfortunate decision. Determining factor is the need to prioritize the physical health of one of the band members who is currently undergoing medical treatment related to a skin condition on his hands, hindering him from rehearsals and from all in all playing his instrument. While we are optimistic for his future recovery, we know it will not be possible for him and the band to be ready to perform already in February 2022.

“With these shows now moving, Converge will unfortunately no longer be able to do the tour. However, we are grateful that Torche will still be performing with us. Another special guest to replace Converge and to complete the bill is to be announced.”

Tickets for the original dates remain valid; please contact your ticket provider with any inquiries.

In the neon-blue-lit music video, Coi grapples with all of her feels while channeling her energy into her studio time and trendsetting dance moves. Out of adversity, Coi Leray continues to stay focused and ascend.

This song is strictly for my fans. When I go in the booth and vent, just know I’m speaking from the heart and I meant every word in the song. Hope everyone has a great holiday and gets everything they ever dreamed of. This new year is going to be one of the biggest years of my life. I feel it. My album is going to be one of the biggest female artist albums in the world, I can promise you that. Xoxo -Coi”

Today, Republic Records releases Don’t Look Up (Soundtrack from the Netflix Film), listen HERE.

The soundtrack includes “Just Look Up” featuring Ariana Grande and Kid Cudi, who star in the film—and perform the song—as pop music power couple Riley Bina and DJ Chello. The “Just Look Up (Full Performance from ‘Don't Look Up’)” premiered today, watch it HERE.

Brand-new track “Second Nature,” performed and co-written by Bon Iver, is also released today with the soundtrack. Listen to “Second Nature” HERE.

“Just Look Up” was co-written by Grammy winners, Ariana Grande and Kid Cudi, 2-time Academy Award-nominated / Emmy winning composer Nicholas Britell and Oscar nominated songwriter Taura Stinson.

Nicholas Britell (Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk, Succession) produced the soundtrack, composed the score and co-wrote “Second Nature.”

Written and directed by Academy Award winner Adam McKay (The Big Short, Vice), DON’T LOOK UP follows Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) and Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio), two low-level astronomers who make an astounding discovery of a comet orbiting within the solar system. The problem — it’s on a direct collision course with Earth. The other problem? No one really seems to care. Turns out warning mankind about a planet-killer the size of Mount Everest is an inconvenient fact to navigate. With the help of Dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), Kate and Randall embark on a media tour that takes them from the office of an indifferent President Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her sycophantic son and Chief of Staff, Jason (Jonah Hill), to the airwaves of The Daily Rip, an upbeat morning show hosted by Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). With only six months until the comet makes impact, managing the 24-hour news cycle and gaining the attention of the social media obsessed public before it’s too late proves shockingly comical — what will it take to get the world to just look up?!

DON’T LOOK UP also stars Mark Rylance, Ron Perlman, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi), Himesh Patel, Melanie Lynskey, Michael Chiklis and Tomer Sisley and releases in select theaters today and on Netflix December 24th. Watch the trailer HERE.

MEMPHIS MAY FIRE SHARE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR "SOMEBODY"

MEMPHIS MAY FIRE — Matty Mullins (vocals), Kellen McGregor (guitar), Cory Elder (bass), and Jake Garland (drums) — have spent the past several months thrilling their dedicated legion by dropping four new tracks, all released via longtime label Rise Records.

Today, the band is releasing the official video for the fourth (and latest) single "Somebody."

Watch it here.

The song boasts crunchy riffing, crackling electronics, and the kind of chorus that will find you singing along and finger pointing. Meanwhile, the video is driven by intense performance footage and intimate closeups of the band, bathed in fire and ice tones.

"The response to our latest single 'Somebody' has been unreal, so we decided to shoot a music video for it to tell the story even further," says Mullins. "We teamed up with director Dustin Haney and we couldn't be more stoked on how it turned out."

Earlier this year, Memphis May Fire dropped a one-two punch with a pair of explosive songs — "Blood & Water" and "Death Inside." The full-on riff fest "Bleed Me Dry" followed suit. "Blood & Water" is one of the fastest growing hits of the band's career. It was accompanied by a powerful video and cruised onto the SiriusXM Octane airwaves. Revolver called it a "return to form" and noted that the song boasted an "absurdly melodic lead lick that cuts through the chugging breakdowns like a hot knife on butter." Meanwhile, "Death Inside" reminded fans of the band's sonic heft and was evidence of why Memphis May Fire have remained one of the scene's standouts. The latest song, "Somebody," features all the sonic hallmarks fans know and love about MMF.

All told, the four new tracks have accumulated 23 million combined streams across platforms. Each song release has also been accompanied by a charity-driven t-shirt, as the band is passionate about giving back and supporting its local community.

Memphis May Fire are poised to have a big 2022. More new music and touring is on the horizon, so standby!

Taylor Swift has made history once again presenting the definitive version of her 2012 classic, Red (Taylor’s Version). Marking her 10th album to move over 1 Million album equivalents during its release week and arriving to worldwide critical acclaim, Red (Taylor’s Version) adds a brilliant new chapter to her legacy.

In addition to being the first artist ever to simultaneously debut atop the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100, Taylor has now become the only artist to do so for a third time, and in less than 16 months! Taylor’s new version of “All Too Well” marks her fourth #1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100. Clocking in at over 10 minutes, it is the longest song to enter and reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, surpassing the previous record holder, Don McLean’s “American Pie,” which was first released in 1971 with a run time of 8 minutes and 42 seconds.

It’s Taylor’s fifth consecutive album to exceed 50 Million Spotify streams in 24 hours. With over 300 million streams, the album has achieved the largest streaming week of 2021 for an album by a female artist.

Red (Taylor’s Version) also secured the biggest streaming week for a country album with the largest sales week for a country album since 2013, becoming the biggest release week for a country album since the Billboard 200 began ranking titles by equivalent album units. “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” also hits #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart. It debuts as Swift’s ninth Hot Country Songs leader and her second this year, after “Love Story (Taylor’s Version).”

What’s more, it has achieved the largest vinyl album sales week since tracking first began in 1991 with 114k sold, surpassing the last record that was also set by Taylor in 2021 with folklore’s sister album, evermore. With the release of Red (Taylor’s Version) she also secures the record for fastest accumulation of four #1 albums by a solo artist in history.

Red (Taylor’s Version) debuted at #1 in multiple countries around the world including the U.K.- where she topped first week numbers set by the original version of the album, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Norway. “All Too Well” also debuted at #1 in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and more.

Taylor Swift now has an unbroken streak of eight consecutive No.1 albums in the UK, where this release marks her fifth #1 album in less than three years following Lover (August 2019), Folklore (August 2020), Evermore (December 2020) and Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (April 2021). Red (Taylor’s Version) has also become her tenth #1 album debut in both Canada and New Zealand, her ninth #1 in Australia and her seventh #1 in Ireland, extending her record as the woman with the most chart-topping albums in these countries for this millennium.

To celebrate the release, Taylor wrote and directed a short film entitled All Too Well The Short Film, inspired by the 10-minute-plus fan favorite song of the same name. The 13-minute film stars Sadie Sink, Dylan O’Brien and Taylor Swift.

Don McLean To Make Appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert TONIGHT!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Don McLean’s “American Pie,” has been replaced by Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well,” as the longest #1 hit of all time. “American Pie,” which lasted 8:42 held that rank for nearly 50 years since it first landed on the charts in January 1972. Swift’s “All Too Well,” is timed out at 10:13!

“There is something to be said for a great song that has staying power,” says McLean. “American Pie’ remained on the top for 50 years and now Taylor Swift has unseated such a historic piece of artistry. Let’s face it, nobody ever wants to lose that #1 spot, but if I had to lose it to somebody, I sure am glad it was another great singer/songwriter such as Taylor.”

McLean is celebrating the 50th anniversary of “American Pie” and recently announced parts of the European leg of his world tour. North American dates will be announced in the coming weeks. “American Pie” is currently featured in Tom Hank’s new Apple+ movie FINCH as well as the 2021 release of Marvel's Black Widow. McLean received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in August 2021.

“One Right Now” has generated nearly 100 million streams in just a few weeks’ time. Inciting critical applause, Rolling Stone wrote, “On the synth-tipped song, the pair trade verses about an unfaithful relationship and salving the pain by finding comfort in others,” and Brooklyn Vegandubbed it “an R&B/synthpop hybrid.” Billboard put it best, “Posty’s delivering, and he’s brought a new sound,” hailing it as “a break-up song gone nuclear.”

The track notably marks the first official collaboration between the two RIAA diamond-certified artists. Produced by Louis Bell, Brian Lee, and Andrew Bolooki, “One Right Now” unites two of popular music’s biggest voices on the biggest collab of the year.

The release paves the way for the arrival of Post Malone’s anxiously awaited fourth album—coming soon. It will be his first album since 2019’s triple-platinum Hollywood’s Bleeding, which bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top 200.

This weekend multiplatinum Icelandic collective Of Monsters and Men appeared on CBS Mornings in celebration of their new album My Head Is An Animal (10th Anniversary Edition) where they talked about the story behind their historic rise to becoming one of the world’s most successful Icelandic bands.

Speaking with CBS Mornings correspondent Ben Tracey at Gamla Bíó (where the band held their first album release party back in 2011), co-lead singers Nanna Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Þórhallsson reflected about the band’s past ten years together as well as the journey that led them to where they are today- from winning a local Icelandic music competition, to SXSW and more they rose to become one of the first bands from Iceland to hit over 1 billion streams on Spotify. In addition, they performed their new single “Phantoms” as well as their iconic songs “Little Talks” and “Dirty Paws” in celebration of the new anniversary album release.

See Of Monsters and Men’s interview on CBS Mornings HERE and watch the performance of “Phantom” Here filmed at Gamla Bíó, “Little Talks” Here and “Dirty Paws” Here (both filmed at Nanna’s cabin in Iceland).

Continuing the celebration of their anniversary the band recently announced their first and only live shows of 2021 and upcoming livestream shows: Of Monsters and Men: The 10 Year Anniversary Celebration of My Head Is An Animal where they will be performing four intimate shows at Gamla Bíó on November 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. The band will play the album in its entirety as well as other OMAM favorites both older and newer. Tickets are on sale now HERE.

OMAM have also announced that these shows will be available to fans to stream virtually, airing December 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd. Tickets to these four shows as well as exclusive merch offerings for the anniversary album can be found HERE.

Stream My Head Is An Animal (10th Anniversary Edition) HERE and watch the official music video for “Phantom” HERE!

The album celebrates a decade since the arrival of their platinum-certified debut My Head Is An Animal. The release reflects the version of the album when it was first released in Iceland in 2011. The new version has a total of four tracks that were not on the 2012 US release, including two never-before-released songs: “Phantom” and “Sugar In A Bowl.” The anniversary album is also accompanied by commemorative merchandise, limited-edition vinyl, and a special Of Monsters and Men zine available as a special thank you for fans.

View exclusive merchandise for the anniversary release HERE!

While “Phantom” and “Sugar In A Bowl” are newly recorded songs, they are not new to the band. “Phantom” was first performed by Of Monsters and Men in 2010 at the renowned Músíktilraunir music competition. It was one of the two songs performed when they took home first place in the competition helping to jumpstart their career. The album features another unreleased track entitled “Sugar In A Bowl”—also composed and conceptualized over decade ago but never recorded.

Regarding this moment, the band commented: "It’s been 10 years since the original edition of MHIAA was released in Iceland and because of that we wanted to do something special so we're releasing a 10th anniversary edition of the album as well as performing some fun live, intimate anniversary shows from Iceland from the venue where we played our first album release party ever.

The track list matches the one from that first edition of the album that came out in Iceland in 2011 plus two unreleased bonus tracks that sort of got left behind when making the record.

This album is how most of you got to know us and how we got to know you and for that we are forever grateful.

Thank you to everyone that listened to and supported us this past decade.

Here is to another 10 years!

Love, OMAM"
