All those clues and hints have led up to this: the announcement of a new Harry Styles album.

Harry’s fourth solo album, KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY. will arrive March 6. It contains 12 tracks and was executive produced by Harry’s longtime collaborator Thomas Hull, better known as Kid Harpoon.

The album is now available for preorder on vinyl, CD and as a box set, along with exclusive merchandise at hstyles.co.uk. No word yet on a first single.

The album cover shows Harry standing outside in twilight, wearing glasses and turning away from the sky, as though something is too bright for him to look at. Above him, there’s a shining disco mirror ball. The album’s title is broken into two parts: the words “Kiss all the time” are written in pink and arranged in a square, while “Disco, occasionally” is written in blue and arranged in a circle.

The album will be Harry’s first release since 2022’s Grammy-winning album Harry’s House. To announce the album, he led fans to a website called WeBelongTogether.co, which now shows the image of a clock with all the numbers replaced by the word “Kiss” except 9, which is “Disco.” He also plastered posters with the words “We Belong Together” written on them all over the world and texted fans a 5-second clip of himself crooning “We belong together.”

Typically, an artist releases a new album and then goes on tour. But BLACKPINK is flipping the script.

The superstar K-pop group reunited for its Deadline world tour last year, marking the first time that members JENNIE, JISOO, ROSÉ and LISA had performed together since 2023. On Wednesday, they announced on Instagram that their new album, also called Deadline, will be out Feb. 27. Beyond confirming that it’s a mini-album, the group has shared no additional details.

Technically, the Deadline tour still has two weeks remaining: Starting Jan. 16, the group will play three nights in Tokyo, followed by three nights in Hong Kong, before wrapping up Jan. 26.

Ahead of the tour, the group released a new single, “Jump,” in July.

During their time apart, each member released solo material. Albums from JENNIE, ROSÉ and LISA’s all reached the top 10. ROSÉ also scored a major global hit with her Bruno Mars collab, “APT.,” and teamed with Alex Warren on his song “On My Mind.”

Meanwhile, LISA appeared in The White Lotus and collaborated with Maroon 5 on “Priceless,” as well as with Doja Cat and RAYE on “Born Again.” JENNIE worked with The Weeknd and appeared in his show The Idol, while JISOO released “Eyes Closed” with Zayn Malik.

Peter Frampton recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of his iconic album Frampton Comes Alive! To mark the occasion, he’s announced a special vinyl reissue.

The album will be released as a limited-edition Vinylphyle double pressing, sourced from the original 1975 production master by Doug Sax. The release includes a four-panel insert featuring a new interview with Frampton.

“I can’t believe it’s now been 50 years since Frampton Comes Alive! was released, but that record still feels like a living, breathing moment in my life,” says Frampton. “When we decided to do this Vinylphyle edition, it was important to me that it be done the right way. I personally asked that the audio be sourced from the original 1975 Doug Sax production master because I wanted it to sound exactly as we heard it back then.”

He adds, “This album was born onstage, and hearing it presented this way on vinyl feels like bringing that energy back to life for longtime fans and new listeners alike.”

Frampton Comes Alive! (Vinylphyle) will be released Jan. 22 and is now available for preorder now.

Frampton Comes Alive! helped launch Frampton to stardom, becoming one of the bestselling live albums of all time, with close to 20 million copies sold worldwide. It features live performances of iconic Frampton tunes like “Show Me the Way,” “Baby, I Love Your Way” and “Do You Feel Like We Do,” all of which became top-15 hits.

The album went on to become Frampton’s only #1 record, spending 10 nonconsecutive weeks at the top of the charts. In 2020, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

People sure are happy that Bruno Mars is back.

According to Billboard, Bruno’s new single, “I Just Might” — his first solo release in nearly 10 years — earned nearly 14 million streams in its first four days of release. Those numbers, the publication says, will ensure “a major debut on next week’s Hot 100.”

Currently, Taylor Swift‘s “The Fate of Ophelia” is #1, though she’s just released a new remix; whether Bruno will manage to knock her off the top of the chart remains to be seen.

Bruno’s entire catalog, meanwhile, has experienced a 75% increase on streaming as a result of the news of his new album The Romantic, arriving on Feb. 27.

Demand has also prompted him to add 31 new dates to his upcoming The Romantic world tour.

He’ll play three or four nights in cities including Vancouver; Paris; Toronto; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Amsterdam; and LA, while London will a host a total of six shows.

RAYE is nominated for best music film at the 2026 Grammy Awards, but the night before the ceremony, she’ll receive a special merit award from the Recording Academy — for a song released in 2023.

RAYE will receive the Harry Belafonte Award for best song for social change for her song “Ice Cream Man.,”  which appears on her debut album, My 21st Century Blues. The award was established in 2022 to honor writers who create “message-driven music that speaks to the social issues of our time,” according to the Academy.

“Ice Cream Man.” is a harrowing song about the guilt and PTSD that the narrator experiences following a sexual assault by a music producer. RAYE sings, “Coming like the ice cream man/ Till I felt his ice-cold hands/ And how I pay the pricе now, damn… / Everything you did, it left mе in a ruin/ And no, I didn’t say a word.”

RAYE co-wrote the song with Michael Tucker and Mike Sabath, who will be honored alongside her. RAYE and Sabath also wrote her current hit, “Where Is My Husband!”

In a statement, Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, said, “This song is a powerful reminder of music’s unique ability to raise awareness, inspire change and provide a voice to those too often unheard.”

RAYE will receive the award Jan. 31 at LA’s Wilshire Ebell Theatre. That evening, other Grammy merit honors —  including Lifetime Achievement and Trustees Awards — will be presented to artists such as Carlos Santana, Chaka Khan, Cher, the late Whitney Houston and Paul Simon.

The life of Grateful Dead founding member Bob Weir will be celebrated with a gathering Saturday in San Francisco, birthplace of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band.

Homecoming: Celebrating the life of Bobby Weir, will take place at Civic Center Plaza at 12:45 p.m. PT, and will be free and open to the public.

An announcement on social media describes Weir as an artist “whose music, spirit, and humanity shaped generations,” noting, “Together, we will pay tribute in the community and collective heartbeat that he created.”

“A short sacred stop on his homecoming journey, the gathering will center on gratitude, remembrance, and togetherness, along with special tributes to honor Bobby,” the announcement continues.

It’s important to note, the celebration is not a concert and there will be no live music. There will be a procession ahead of the celebration that will travel three blocks down Market Street starting at 12:30 p.m.

Fans interested in being at the celebration are asked to RSVP prior to attending.

Weir’s death was announced on social media Saturday, January 10. He was 78. According to the announcement he was diagnosed with cancer in July, and had started undergoing treatment just weeks before Dead & Company would take the stage in August for three shows at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Although he beat cancer, he ultimately “succumbed to underlying lung issues.”
