November 25, 2025 by WDNY Radio

When Morgan Wallen‘s album I’m the Problem came out, he did an interview in which he referred to a letter written by his dad being in the liner notes. Only problem was, there was no letter in the liner notes — until now.

Morgan’s announced a new limited-edition “CD Zine” version of the chart-topping album. It includes the album on two CDs, packaged with a 100-page magazine featuring interviews with Morgan and his key collaborators, never-before-seen photos, lyrics to all 37 of the album’s tracks and pieces written by the singer himself.

Also included in the table of contents is that letter from Morgan’s dad, Tommy Wallen. It’s called “Problems, Pressures and Possibilities.”

The package, which costs $50, will ship by Dec. 19, so put it on your Christmas list.

November 25, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Kenny Loggins’ “Footloose,” the title track to the 1984 Kevin Bacon film, has surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, making it Loggins’ first entry in Spotify’s Billions Club.

“Five decades ago, I began a musical journey that has been incredibly rewarding,” said Loggins. “I’m thrilled to see my songs continue to find new life with new fans after all these years.”

He adds, “One billion streams for ‘Footloose’ is almost unimaginable. I’m grateful that my work still resonates with so many people.”

Released Jan. 11, 1984, “Footloose” was Loggins’ first #1 hit, spending three weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100. It is one of two songs he had on the Footloose soundtrack, the other being “I’m Free (Heaven Helps the Man),” which peaked at #22.

Loggins has a lot to look forward to in 2026. On Feb. 7 he’ll be inducted into the People’s Music Hall of Fame by the Sound Support Foundation during the annual ceremony in Salt Lake City, Utah, and on Feb. 14 he’ll be honored at the Power of Love Gala 2026 in Las Vegas. Plus, a new documentary about Loggins, Conviction of the Heart, is expected to premiere in the spring.

Loggins is also nominated for the Songwriters Hall of Fame this year. Voting is set to run through Dec. 4, and the inductees will be celebrated at a gala event in New York City next year.

November 25, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Tracy Lawrence‘s annual Mission: Possible Turkey Fry, which provides turkeys to the needy in Middle Tennessee, was dealt a severe blow on Tuesday, leading to a citywide call for birds.

The event announced on Instagram, “We had a truck break down on the way to the Mission Possible Turkey Fry this morning, and we are now short 650 turkeys! If you are in the area and able, please drop off a thawed or frozen turkey, or whole chicken. … There will be volunteers with blue bins there to greet you.”

The event is taking place behind the Nashville Expo Center at 401 Wingrove St. in Nashville. Some people are sending donations via Instacart.

Hopefully enough turkeys will be donated that people will be in a good mood for the annual concert that follows the event. Taking place at Luke Combs‘ Category 10 bar in Nashville Tuesday night, the show will feature Tracy, Gretchen Wilson, Eric Paslay, Chris Cagle and more.

Elton John to headline Rock in Rio, ‘can’t wait’ to start making ‘much more commercial’ record

November 25, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Elton John has left touring behind him, but that doesn’t mean he’s stopped playing live. He tells Variety he’s done 11 private shows this year, plus a few public ones, like his show at the London Palladium with Brandi Carlile. In 2026 he’ll headline the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil on Sept. 7.

In an Instagram video, Elton says he’s doing the gig because he felt he’d let his Brazilian fans down by not including the country on his farewell tour. He promises a “fantastic show” that he’s “really, really looking forward to.”

Elton is also looking forward to getting in the studio and making his next album, a follow-up to his Grammy-nominated collab with Brandi, Who Believes In Angels?

“I just can’t wait to go into the studio now and write some new songs. … I’ve got seven new lyrics from Bernie [Taupin] … and they’re really, really good,” he tells Variety. He specifically wants the new album to reflect what’s happening in music now.

“The album with Brandi, it’s a timeless record, but it’s not of its time,” he explains. “We just wanted to make a record that we loved, with great songs. That was a yesterday record, and it was fantastic. But there is a part of me that wants to do a much more commercial record and do more Bernie Taupin songs that are more of today than yesterday.”

November 25, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Whitney Springs, Kendrick Lamar‘s comedy film with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, has been pushed back indefinitely, Variety reports. It’s been bumped off Paramount’s schedule for March 20 releases as finishing touches are put on the film. “It’s true – we’re moving (again). We’re working hard at finishing the movie,” Lamar’s PGLang company told Variety in a joint statement released with Stone and Parker’s production banner, Park County. This marks the second time Whitney Springs has been postponed; the first time saw the release date pushed back from July 4, 2025, to March 20, 2026.

Diddy‘s son King Combs seems to be teasing his father’s upcoming return from prison. He told TMZ, “We gon play the ‘Diddy Free’ joint whole Christmas, whole Thanksgiving.” He added, “He coming home, though. Watch out, he might come home before then.” When asked if President Donald Trump was helping to commute Diddy’s sentence, King said, ”You never know. Stay tuned, he gon’ be home soon.” Diddy is sentenced to 50 months in prison and time served for his conviction on two prostitution-related offenses.

Max B has released a new song less than a month after his prison release. “No More Tricks” will appear on his newly announced album, Public Domain 7: The First Purge (Patient Zero), his first in four years. Public Domain 7 is set to arrive on Friday.

Lil Uzi Vert has dropped music videos for “Chanel Boy” and “Relevant.” The “Chanel Boy” visual finds Uzi dancing in front of a private jet, in the studio and more in various Chanel outfits, while “Relevant” sees the rapper in front of a white screen flaunting designer looks, including Balenciaga boots and Miu Miu sunglasses. The songs mark Uzi’s new chapter as an independent artist.
