Billy Joel documentary is sending his albums back onto the charts

August 1, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Billy Joel‘s two-part HBO documentary, And So It Goes, is inspiring fans to check out his back catalog — and that’s sending his albums back onto the charts.

Billboard reports that according to new Luminate data, Billy experienced an 80% jump in traditional album sales and a 356% increase in digital song downloads. His catalog streams also increased by 16%.

What this means is that Billy’s Greatest Hits Vol. I & II has reentered the Billboard 200 for the first time since 2016. It’s now at #145, which is the highest it’s been since 1986. His album The Stranger is now at #167, which is its highest ranking since 1980.

Meanwhile, Billy’s most-streamed song of the week is “Piano Man,” followed by “She’s Always a Woman.”

It should be noted those numbers only reflect the activity following the first part of the documentary, which debuted on July 18. The second part aired July 25, and Billboard reports that between July 25 and 28, streams were up 17%.

The full Billboard charts will be updated next week to reflect the impact of both parts of the documentary.

Alice Cooper’s golf obsession grew from him replacing 1 ‘addiction’ with another

August 1, 2025 by WDNY Radio

If you’re an Alice Cooper fan, you know that the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is really into playing golf and has hosted a charity golf tournament for the past 27 years. But in a new interview, Alice says he only got into the sport because he needed something to distract him from his substance abuse.

Speaking to the Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, Alice explained, “I had to find an addiction that wasn’t gonna kill me because all my other ones were killing me. And I lived in Arizona, so I went, ‘Well, there’s 130 courses in Phoenix — I’ll try that.'”

“And I got addicted immediately,” he continued. “I hit two good shots and I went, ‘OK, I’m here.’ I play every morning.”

Asked if he plays with his “rock friends,” Alice dished, “Some of the guys can play. A lot of the guys really shouldn’t be on the golf course at all. You know, Meat Loaf should never have been on a golf course.” He added that Eddie Van Halen wasn’t exactly a whiz on the links either.

“So you played golf with Eddie Van Halen and Meat Loaf?” the deejay asked.

“Well, I played golf,” quipped Alice.

Alice and his original Alice Cooper Group recently released their first new album in over 50 years, The Revenge Of Alice Cooper.

August 1, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Quavo continues to fight against gun violence with his Rocket Foundation, which has launched an emergency trauma therapy fund. The fund will provide assistance to the youth and families impacted by the recent shootings in Atlanta, providing them with resources via Mothers Against Gang Violence and other organizations.

The fund is in memory of Aaron “Coach Ball” Hines, a member of the Offenders Alumni Association. He was one of many people killed in recent mass shootings in Atlanta.

“Please honor the pain and loss of those impacted by spreading the world and donating!” a post on Rocket Foundation’s Instagram reads. “Nothing can replace those lost, but together we can help our community heal in this trying time.”

Quavo founded the Rocket Foundation in 2022 following the death of Migos member Takeoff, who was shot and killed outside of a Houston bowling alley. With a mission to end gun violence in America, the foundation invests in community violence interventions that “emphasize community-led care” and “address conflict, trauma, community needs and youth development,” according to the website.
