November 20, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Zara Larsson is sharing a special message for the teen fan who joined her onstage at a concert in Amsterdam.

The “Crush” singer had invited Julia Coster, 16, to rock out with her live, and Julia delivered with no hesitation, nailing every choreographed move.

Video of the duo sharing the stage as they danced to Zara’s hit “Lush Life” has since gone viral on TikTok, with one video clip garnering nearly 15 million views.

“Hi Julia! I just wanted to say that being onstage with you was such an honor, and look at what you have created,” Zara said in a video message shared with ABC’s Good Morning America. “The way people are bringing this energy up onstage every night, inspired by you, is so incredible.”

Julia told GMA she was shocked to receive the message.

“Oh my God, that’s insane,” Julia said when she saw Zara’s shout-out. “This video, it means the world to me. I’m never going to delete it, and I’m going to watch it every night.”

Julia also recalled sharing the stage with Zara, calling it a nerve-racking moment, but said she went with it.

“I panicked a little bit. I was like, ‘Oh my God, now it’s really happening,'” she said. “The first thing I thought when I saw her, it was like, ‘Whoa, you’re so tiny and your makeup is perfect.'”

She added, “I see people being happy about that [viral] video, and that [makes] me even happier.”

David Bowie’s ‘Station to Station’ to be reissued for 50th anniversary

November 20, 2025 by WDNY Radio

David Bowie’s 10th studio album, Station to Station, is getting reissued to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

The album is being released as a limited-edition 50th anniversary half-speed mastered vinyl, and as a picture disc that comes with a poster reproduction of an archival ad for the album. Both formats will drop on Jan. 23, 2026, 50 years to the day of the original album’s release.

The follow-up to 1975’s Young Americans, Station to Station saw Bowie introduce a new persona, the Thin White Duke. Co-produced by Bowie and Harry Maslin, the rocker was influenced by electronic dance music, as well as a genre of German experimental rock known as krautrock.

Station to Station peaked at #3 on the Billboard album chart and at the time was Bowie’s highest-charting album in the U.S.

The lead single, “Golden Years,” spent 16 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #10. The tune would later be used for the soundtrack to the 2001 Heath Ledger movie A Knight’s Tale.

The 50th anniversary reissue of Station to Station is available for preorder now.

Tyler, The Creator‘s impact on music and culture will be celebrated, as he’s been named Apple Music’s Artist of the Year. A press release states he’s had the most worldwide plays, listeners and hours listened on the platform in 2025.

November 20, 2025 by WDNY Radio

The Weeknd is now the $1 billion man.

The singer’s ongoing After Hours Til Dawn Tour just put tickets on sale for 2026 dates in Mexico, Brazil, Europe and the U.K., bringing the trek’s overall gross to more than $1 billion across 153 shows since 2022. As it made its way through North America twice, as well as Europe, the U.K., Latin America and Australia, it’s sold 7.5 million tickets.

All that means that the tour is now the top-earning trek by a male solo artist in history. It’s just the latest milestone for the run, which had already broken records for attendance and number of shows in multiple cities.

The tour has also benefitted a variety of causes. The Weeknd has donated proceeds — more than $8.5 million so far — to his XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen.

The stadium tour is set to wrap up in Portugal in September.

ICYMI: Drake, Victoria Monét and Max B

November 20, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Teyana Taylor isn’t the only one attending culinary school. Victoria Monét has announced she’s pursuing her “lifelong dream” of becoming a chef. “I’ve been super passionate about recipes that you can pass down from generation to generation and how food makes people feel when they’re communing together,” she said in an Instagram video. She’ll take fans on the journey via her Instagram account @itschefmonet, where she’ll start a weekly Saucy Sundays series. Victoria also made it clear she’s “in the studio everyday still cooking my album!”

Drake‘s Iceman episodes on YouTube are his way of breaking out of the “redundancy of” the music industry’s traditional album rollouts. He told Complex he was intrigued by the idea of a livestream rollout, where he put his spin on the streamer world. “I have been dying to act and have been dying for a challenge,” he said. “The game is extremely calm seas right now. Nobody is rocking any boat on the water and so once we discussed a [livestream] rollout, it just sounded like the perfect mix of risk and reward for me.”

Max B spoke to Billboard about being a free man, something he’s still getting used to. “I’m just taking my time, I’m out here. It’s real, I done woke up in my bed a couple days straight, so I can’t complain, man, you know what I’m saying? Eating good food, got my wife, got my kids — I’m seeing my kids every day — I got my electronics.” He added he’s not the same guy who went into prison. “This the new grown and gorgeous Biggavel, this is the new and improved. This the new, distinguished Biggavel,” Max B said.
