t’s been a minute since Miley Cyrus released any new music, but now, we can finally hear the song that just earned her a second career Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song.
“Beautiful That Way,” which Miley co-wrote, is from the Pamela Anderson movie The Last Showgirl, about a Las Vegas showgirl who is forced to pivot when her show closes after 30 years. In the ballad, released Dec. 9, Miley sings, “Spin, baby, spin, the night always falls/ At least you had your day/ Now the light shines on some other girl/ Who’s beautiful that way.”
Miley was previously nominated in this same category back in 2009, for co-writing “I Thought I Lost You,” from the Disney animated film Bolt. Miley recorded the song as a duet with, believe it or not, John Travolta.
The Golden Globes air Jan. 5 on CBS and Paramount+.

Guitar greats Joe Satriani and Steve Vai have teamed up to start a new band and will be hitting the road together this summer.
The artists have announced they will tour Europe as the SATCHVAI Band. The Surfing with Hydra tour will kick off June 13 in York, England, with stops in London, Paris, Manchester, Munich, Prague and more before wrapping July 21 in Sofia, Bulgaria. More shows are expected to be announced.
“I’m so looking forward to sharing the stage with Steve again,” Satriani said. “Every time we play together, it takes me back to when we were teenagers, eating and breathing music every second of the day, pushing, challenging, and helping each other to be the best we could be. I guess we’ve never stopped!”
“Touring with Joe is always a pleasure and an honor,” Vai added. “He is my favorite guitarist to jam with, and now we have another opportunity to take it to the stage. I feel as though we are both at the top of our game, and the show will be a powerful celebration of the coolest instrument in the world, the electric guitar!”
Satriani and Vai’s relationship has lasted nearly five decades, starting out in their teenage years when Satriani was Vai’s guitar teacher. They went on to tour together frequently on the G3 tours, which launched in 1996 with Eric Johnson as the third guitarist. This will be their first tour together as part of the same band.

Mariah Carey fans won’t have to keep on waiting — under the mistletoe or otherwise — for her to reclaim her annual position on top of the Billboard Hot 100.
“All I Want for Christmas Is You” has ascended to #1 on the tally, marking its 15th week on top since its release. The 1994 recording first hit #1 on the Hot 100 in 2019 and has done so every year since then, for multiple weeks.
The song is Mariah’s 19th career chart-topper overall, making her the solo artist with the most number ones. Only The Beatles have more: 20. She’s also the only artist ever to have hit #1 in four distinct decades: the ’90s, 2000s, ’10s and ’20s.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the song and its parent album, Merry Christmas, and her website is offering a whole range of commemorative editions of both.
Mariah’s song isn’t the only holiday hit in the upper reaches of the chart. Brenda Lee‘s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” rises from #15 to #2, while Wham!‘s “Last Christmas” rises from #18 to #3. Bobby Helms‘ “Jingle Bell Rock” is #5, and Burl Ives‘ “Holly Jolly Christmas” is #10.
