Dolly Parton’s “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” (Butterfly Records)
Dolly Parton now has chart hits spanning 60 years, thanks to her rerecording of “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” with Lainey Wilson, Miley Cyrus, Queen Latifah and Reba McEntire on the occasion of her 80th birthday.
The all-star sing-along scored the highest debut of the week at #41 on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, emerging at #1 on Billboard‘s Country Digital Song Sales tally as well.
“This is the best gift I could receive!” Dolly said of the news. “I want to thank the fans, all the radio programmers, and all the streaming partners.”
Dolly’s first chart success came in 1966 with a song she co-wrote and contributed uncredited vocals to: “Put It Off Until Tomorrow” by Bill Phillips. It made it to #6 and was named a BMI Song of the Year.

ROSÉ has always been very private about her romantic life, but now she’s revealed what lengths she went to in order to hide at least one relationship from the public.
While appearing on theCall Her Daddy podcast, host Alex Cooper asked ROSÉ how she avoided getting photographed by the paparazzi with a man. The answer, the “APT.” singer revealed, is that she wore disguises. Specifically, she said, she “studied how elderly women would dress on the street,” and then she’d order those same kinds of clothes, plus a short dark wig, and wear it to visit her then-boyfriend.
“I would go to his house, because we can’t go anywhere,” she explained. “I would travel that way just in case somebody [saw me].”
She laughed, “For a while in my house I had a whole section of grandma clothes, because I went wild. I just ordered, like, light-blue flowery long skirts.” She said she did that for “at least six months,” because she was “so committed to keep the secret.”
Also on Call Her Daddy, the BLACKPINK singer, whose birth name is Roseanne Park, talked about her stage name, revealing she only found out that she’d been assigned the name “ROSÉ” by her record company about eight hours before it was announced publicly.
“They actually came up with it and I freaked out,” she recalled. “I was like ‘What?’ I mean, I love it now but at the time I was like ‘What? ROSÉ?’ At first I was like, ‘I sound like a grandma!'”
After she saw it onscreen, she said, “That’s when I was like, ‘OK, it looks nice.'”
BLACKPINK’s new mini-album, Deadline, arrives Feb. 27.

Placebo is composing the music for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of the Bertolt Brecht play The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.
The play will run at England’s Swan Theatre from April 11 to May 30.
Originally written in 1941, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is about a fictional 1930s Chicago mobster that also serves as an allegory for and satirizes the rise of Nazi Germany.
“Thematically, this cautionary tale from history feels more urgent & prescient than ever, and its relevance to today’s world is very chilling,” Placebo says in a press release.
“The creative process for this project was very different for us, sometimes akin to shooting arrows in the dark,” the “Pure Morning” outfit continues. “So we tried to connect with the psychology of the outsider, as well as taking inspiration from themes of power, alienation and moral decay – which are at the core of this play. We are elated by the thought that Placebo’s newest music will be performed nightly at the Swan Theatre and we can only hope that we have done this great play justice.”
Placebo’s most recent album is 2022’s Never Let Me Go.

Nicki Minaj is doubling down on her support for President Donald Trump.
She attended the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, where Trump called her to the stage, held her hand and talked about her loyalty.
“I’d like to ask you to come up, Nicki, come on up. … She’s been such a great supporter, and a great supporter of Trump Accounts,” Trump said, in part. “She’s so good. She’s been MAGA, what can I say?”
Minaj then made her onstage appearance, declaring herself one of Trump’s biggest supporters.
“I am probably the president’s #1 fan. That’s not going to change. And the hate or what people have to say does not affect me at all,” she said. “It actually motivates me to support him more. … We’re not going to let them get away with bullying him and … the smear campaigns.”
Nicki’s appearance came after she previously spoke with Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, at the Turning Point USA convention.
Meanwhile, rapper Tyler, The Creator has spoken out against Trump supporters and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, whose agent was involved in the death of U.S. citizen Renee Good in Minneapolis. He posted a Paid In Full scene on his Instagram Story in which Mekhi Phifer‘s Mitch is heard saying, “F*** ICE.” Tyler added, “Again. And anyone who voted for that man.”

A new documentary about late former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di’Anno has been announced.
Di’Anno: Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer is set to be released in the summer by Cleopatra Entertainment. It will feature appearances by Metallica‘s James Hetfield, KISS‘ Gene Simmons and Maiden founder Steve Harris, among others.
“I wanted to make a film that was unlike any rock doc you’ve ever seen,” says director Wes Orshoski.
Di’Anno sang on Maiden’s first two albums, 1980’s self-titled debut and 1981’s Killers. He parted ways with the band in 1981 and was replaced by current Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson.
Toward the end of his life, Di’Anno battled a number of health issues. A fan-driven crowdfunding campaign helped Di’Anno move to Croatia in seek of treatment, where, as Orshoski says, “fans and doctors gave him the hope he was desperately searching for.”
