Lady Gaga spent her 40th birthday ‘listening and relaxing’ with fiancé

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Lady Gaga hit the big 4-0 on Saturday, but instead of a big blowout, she spent her special day chilling with her fiancé, Michael Polansky.

Gaga posted a TikTok video of herself holding up a paper “40” decoration and kissing into the camera, while the song “Shy Girl” by the synth-pop duo Haute & Freddy played. “Haute & Freddy, Robyn, and Raye filled my birthday with their beautiful new albums,” Gaga wrote in the caption.

She was referring to the fact that the day before her birthday, all three of those acts released new projects. “Dancing on My Own” singer Robyn released Sexistential, while RAYE dropped This Music May Contain Hope.

Gaga continued, “Had the best time listening and relaxing with Michael as we wind down The Mayhem Ball. Thank you, Michael for making my birthday so so special, I love you. May the birthday month begin.”

“Thank you monsters for all your beyond kind messages,” she ended the caption. “Growing up w you is something I will always cherish.”

Gaga is set to wrap up The Mayhem Ball, which started last July, with an April 13 show at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Jimmy Page releases early home demo of ‘Physical Graffiti; track ‘Ten Years Gone’

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Led Zeppelin celebrated the 50th anniversary of their iconic album Physical Graffiti in 2025, and now guitarist Jimmy Page is giving fans some insight into how one of the songs on the album came to be.

The rocker just released an early home demo of an instrumental piece that would eventually become the track “Ten Years Gone.”

“As a footnote to Physical Graffiti, I thought you might like to hear the original home demo, recorded in my studio at Plumpton Place of a piece of music that was going to surface as Ten Years Gone,” Page wrote on Instagram. “I presented this rough mix to the band at Headley Grange in order to do this for real. Robert Plant came up with some lyrics for my music that were extraordinary and then we arrive at the song Ten Years Gone.”

Physical Graffiti, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band’s sixth studio album, was released on Feb. 24, 1975. It was a double album and the band’s first to be released under their own label, Swan Song Records.

The album was a critical and commercial hit for the band. It spent six weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and also hit #1 in the U.K. and Canada. It was the first album to go Platinum from preorders alone and has since been certified 16-times Platinum in the U.S.

Did Riley Green ‘Leave’? Carly Pearce’s solo take on their duet

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Just how powerful is Carly Pearce’s new radio single, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay”?

Check out a new acoustic performance on her socials, and you’re likely to have an opinion. In the clip, Carly sings the chorus of the song alone, accompanied by only an acoustic guitar and a violin while sitting on a sofa.

“Riley, where you at?” she captions the post, acknowledging her duet partner isn’t present.

Meanwhile, Riley’s just locked in his eighth top-10 hit on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart with “Change My Mind.” His three most recent releases made it to #1: “Worst Way,” “Don’t Mind If I Do” and “You Look Like You Love Me.”

Of course, the latter two both feature Ella Langley, a reminder that Riley has a pretty good track record with duets.

Dua Lipa to curate this year’s London Literature Festival

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Harry Styles was announced in February as the curator of this summer’s Meltdown Festival, a music event taking place in London in connection with the 75th anniversary of the city’s arts complex, the South Bank Centre. Now, the Centre has tapped another major British pop star to curate another event as part of the celebration.

Dua Lipa will curate this year’s London Literature Festival, which runs from Oct. 21 to Nov. 1. Dua founded her Service95 Book Club, an offshoot of her Service95 newsletter, in 2023 and since then has interviewed multiple authors about bestsellers, classics and more.

Dua says in a statement, “Reading has anchored me through every chapter of my life – from being the new kid at school in a new country to finding quiet refuge on tour. Curating the Southbank Centre’s London Literature Festival is a dream come true.”

She adds, “I can’t wait to dive into the imaginations of some of my favourite authors in one of London’s most iconic cultural spaces.”

Dua will be on hand for a “takeover” of the Royal Festival Hall at the South Bank Centre on Oct. 24 and 25, and she’s also creating a series of events across the festival with her book club team.

A book played an important role in Dua’s love life. When she and her now-fiancé Callum Turner met at a friend’s birthday party, they connected over the fact that were they reading the same book — Trust by Hernán Díaz — and had both just finished the first chapter. “I said, ‘So we’re on the same page,’” Callum told the Sunday Times of their meet-cute.

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

After several delays, Ye has finally released his Bully album, as well as a music video for the single “Father” featuring Travis Scott and directed by his wife, Bianca Censori. Don Toliver, CeeLo Green, Peso Pluma and Andre Troutman are also featured on the project. Ye is making headlines for “King,” on which he credits Martin Luther King Jr. for helping to make his interracial marriage possible. “I brought a white queen to the altar/ Couldn’t happen without Martin Luther,” Ye raps.

Toosii may go from having your “Favorite Song” to being your favorite football player. He is officially listed on the 2026 roster of Louisiana State University’s Tigers football program. According to the website, the rapper, born Nau’Jour Grainger, is a freshman wide receiver wearing jersey #89.

Ticketek is issuing refunds to those who attended the Wu-Tang Clan Final Chamber tour stops in Melbourne and Sydney. The show, part of Wu’s last tour featuring all of Wu’s members, was missing Method Man, Raekwon, Cappadonna and Young Dirty Bastard. “We want to make fans aware that due to unforeseen circumstances, a couple of members will be unable to join the remaining tour dates in Melbourne and Sydney,” the ticketing platform said in a statement ahead of the shows, according to Billboard. Wu had previously announced Meth would not be performing, but made no mention of the other members.

Hear the new Backstreet Boys song in trailer for ‘Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie’

March 30, 2026 by WDNY Radio

All the members of Backstreet Boys are dads, so it’s not surprising that they’ve contributed a new song to the soundtrack of a movie based on the beloved kids’ show Paw Patrol.

Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie arrives in theaters on Aug. 14, and in the trailer, you can hear a bit of the song, called “Bottle Up,” which is available to presave now. It’s the group’s first new music since “HEY,” a song on their Millennium 2.0 reissue from last year.

Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie finds the pups landing on an uncharted island populated by dinosaurs. They swing into action when their archrival Mayor Humdinger starts a mining operation on the island, causing a dormant volcano to erupt.

The day the movie hits theaters, Backstreet will be performing at Sphere Las Vegas, as part of a string of summer dates which begin July 16. Will they perform the new song as part of their set? We’ll have to stay tuned.
