“If I Could Fly” is out now via digital outlets. It will be released on limited-edition vinyl Dec. 19.

Texas twosome: Lainey Wilson and Ella Langley top ‘Billboard’ country charts in rare occurrence

December 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Lainey Wilson and Ella Langley are tops on the Billboard country charts, both with songs inspired by the Lone Star State.

Ella’s song “Choosin’ Texas” is #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, while Lainey’s “Somewhere Over Laredo” is #1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. This is only the sixth time since those charts have existed side by side that the #1 spots have been held down by solo female artists.

The charts, one of which combines radio airplay with sales and streaming, and one of which focuses solely on radio airplay, came into being in 2012. The first two women to top them were Carrie Underwood with “Blown Away” on Airplay and Taylor Swift with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” on Country Songs that year.

In 2016, Kelsea Ballerini was tops on both charts. In 2020, it was Gabby Barrett and Maren Morris, and then Gabby and Miranda Lambert. In 2021, it was Gabby on both charts.

This is Ella’s first #1 on Hot Country Songs; it’s Lainey’s fifth #1 on Country Airplay.

BBC picks up series about The Beatles’ Hamburg days

December 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

As if four upcoming Beatles biopics aren’t enough, the BBC is ready to give fans more.

The network has picked up a new drama series, Hamburg Days, which will focus on The Beatles’ early days as a band. The six-part series, based on the autobiography by German artist and musician Klaus Voormann, is set in the ’60s when Voormann and photographer Astrid Kirchherr meet a young Liverpool rock band, who are playing in the clubs of Hamburg’s St. Pauli’s red-light district.

“Together, they help spark a transformation that turns a scrappy group of teenagers into the greatest music phenomenon the world has ever known: The Beatles,” reads the series description.

“Hamburg Days is the fascinating story of how, in the space of two short years, a raw young band from Liverpool honed their music skills in Hamburg, before returning home to become an overnight worldwide success,” says Sue Deeks, head of scripted pre-buy acquisitions at the BBC. “It is an incredible story, accompanied (of course) by an amazing soundtrack!”

Voormann will serve as a consultant on the series. Casting on the project has not yet been announced.

Miley Cyrus confirms engagement: ‘I was so, so surprised’

December 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

That “Something Beautiful” on Miley Cyrus‘ finger is indeed an engagement ring.

In an interview with ABC’s Chris Connelly on Good Morning America that aired Wednesday, Miley, 33, confirmed that she and her boyfriend of four years, Maxx Morando, 27, are getting married. Maxx popped the question during the couple’s recent trip to Asia.

Asked if Maxx got down on one knee, Miley said yes, adding, “And I’m not easy to surprise. I love to control every situation. And I had completely surrendered, and I’m telling you, I was so, so surprised.”

Miley shared her news while being interviewed for Avatar: Fire and Ash, James Cameron‘s new film, for which she co-wrote and recorded the song “Dream As One.” Asked if she and Maxx “dream as one,” Miley said yes, adding, “Me and Maxx have been together for four years and it’s obvious the amount of growth I’ve had in those four years.”

“You wanna dream the biggest you can and you wanna have someone by your side that always tells you you can do it,” she said.

Maxx, who is in the band Liily, has been linked to Miley since 2021, according to People. That year, they were photographed holding hands while they sat front row at the Gucci Love Parade in Hollywood.

In an interview with The Cut in September, Miley shared how much Maxx means to her.

“I ended up with a person who means a lot to me and treats me really well and respects me,” she said. “I had to learn that the hard way because my mommy taught me the wrong way and then I had to learn the right way by myself.”

The couple’s engagement comes six years after Miley and her first husband, actor Liam Hemsworth, filed for divorce.

Aerosmith intro removed from Disney World’s Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

December 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Aerosmith is no longer a part of one of Disney World’s popular attractions.

It was announced in November 2024 that Aerosmith was being replaced by The Muppets on the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Disney World in Orlando, and now Entertainment Weekly reports that their classic intro to the ride has been removed.

The intro featured video of Aerosmith band members, including Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, with the clip opening in a recording session before the band takes off to get to a concert, bringing the riders along with them. The outlet notes that the intro has been removed in order for construction to start on The Muppets revamp.

The decision to change the ride came after Disney decided to replace Muppet Vision 3D with Monsters Inc. land. It will mark the first time Jim Henson‘s lovable characters are the focus of a Disney ride.

When The Muppets take over the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, guests will go on a search for the Electric Mayhem crew, who go missing ahead of a gig headlining a big Hollywood concert.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (then named Disney-MGM Studios) in July 1999. In addition to the Aerosmith intro, it featured music from the band, including songs like “Walk This Way,” “Love in an Elevator” and “Sweet Emotion.”
