Thomas Rhett can ‘Die a Happy Man’ after his Fenway milestones

July 22, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Thomas Rhett hit a home run before he ever hit the stage Saturday in Boston.

Not only did he sell out the home of the Red Sox, he found out “Die a Happy Man” has been certified Platinum. Only 15 songs in country music history have reached the 10-million-units milestone.

“Saturday at Fenway was the craziest thing ever,” TR reflects. “I have so many great memories in Boston, but I have dreamt about headlining Fenway my entire career. So, standing there with over 35,000 fans dancing and singing back to me will be etched in my brain for the rest of my life. I love you Boston!”

Special guest Teddy Swims joined him during his set to sing “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Woman,” which has just gone Gold.

The awards didn’t end there, either. “It Goes Like This” and “Get Me Some of That” are now quadruple Platinum, while “Make Me Wanna” and “T-Shirt” have just gone triple Platinum.

July 22, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Metro Boomin was supposed to drop his new album Tuesday, but he’s decided to postpone the release date. Taking to X Monday night, he wrote, “PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE FUTURISTIC SUMMA NEXT WEEK.” The exact date is not yet known.

Drake still isn’t too fond of his rival Kendrick Lamar. In response to a “F*** Kendrick” chant at his recent show in Birmingham, he said, “I can’t say that I don’t agree.”

Photos of A$AP Rocky in a wheelchair and getting help into a custom yellow Hummer in West Hollywood were shared by TMZ, drawing concern for the rapper. The outlet later reported he’s doing just fine and had just undergone dental surgery.

Druski has revealed some of the musical stars on the lineup for his second annual Coulda Fest Tour, which features BigXthaplug, Young M.A and Soulja Boy for the whole trek. Snoop Dogg will appear in a few cities, while Lil Yachty will plays shows in LA and San Francisco. Presale tickets for the event, which begins in September, go on sale July 23 at 10 a.m. ET using the code COULDA. The general sale begins July 25 on the 4Lifers website.

JID will be heading on a mini dollar and a dream tour to promote his upcoming album, God Does Like Ugly. He shared a clip of Daniel J. Watts, who plays a pastor on The Chi, preaching about the hardships people face and reassuring them that God loves them even in imperfect situations. JID reveals he’ll be going to London, Chicago, LA, New York and Atlanta. “Venue announcements are day of show. Tickets are all $1. First come first serve,” he captioned his post. “No advance reserving online, no bot s***, something for the real fans. Will be playing some new, some old.”

Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham billboards pop up in LA

July 22, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham continue to tease fans with the possibility of some news on the horizon.

The former couple and Fleetwood Mac bandmates began the teases on Instagram by sharing lyrics to “Frozen Love.” The track appeared on their 1973 album, Buckingham Nicks, which they recorded before joining Fleetwood Mac.

Stevie offered a post with the words “if you go forward” written in cursive, while Lindsey shared a similarly styled post with the words “I’ll meet you there,” which is the first line in the song’s chorus.

The cryptic teases have now moved to Los Angeles, as fans on social media have been sharing photos of billboards that have been popping up. They feature the topless photos of Stevie and Lindsey from the cover of Buckingham Nicks. The billboards list both their names, along with the title of the album and the date Sept. 19, suggesting they could be teasing a reissue of the album.

Buckingham Nicks was the only studio album Stevie and Lindsey released as a duo. Shortly after the release Mick Fleetwood heard “Frozen Love” and invited them to join Fleetwood Mac.

Grateful Dead to release 50th anniversary expanded edition of ‘Blues for Allah’

July 22, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Grateful Dead is set to revisit their 1975 album Blues for Allah with a 50th anniversary expanded edition.

The three-CD and digital set, dropping Sept. 12, will include a remastered version of the album, along with two hours of unreleased recordings.

The bonus material includes performances of the band’s soundcheck from their Aug. 12, 1975, concert at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, as well as from their June 21, 1976, show at the Tower Theatre in Pennsylvania, and Bill Graham’s SNACK (Students Need Athletics, Culture, and Kicks) Benefit at San Francisco’s Kezar Stadium on March 23, 1975. The latter includes a rare performance of the Blues for Allah track “King Solomon’s Marbles.”

As a preview of the newly remastered album, the first track released is “The Music Never Stopped,” which is now available via digital outlets.

In addition to the three-CD set, the remastered version of Blues for Allah will be released on 180-gram black vinyl, picture disc and limited edition “Midnight Fire” custom vinyl, and like the original album, all three will include a lyric sheet with both English and Arabic translations.

There will also be a Blu-ray featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround, hi-resolution stereo and instrumental mixes of the album, available at Rhino.com.

Released Sept. 1, 1975, Blues for Allah was recorded by The Dead during an extended hiatus from touring. It marked the only time the band went into a recording session without pre-written material, developing almost all of the songs in the studio. The album peaked at #12 on the chart, making it their third straight top-20 album.

Blues for Allah (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) is available for preorder now.

Ed Sheeran announces new tour for 2026: ‘New stage, new tricks’

July 22, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Ed Sheeran is still out on his current tour, but he’s already making plans for 2026.

Ed announced on Instagram that he’s doing a new tour next year called the LOOP tour. He writes, “New stage, new tricks, new set up, new songs and all the classics added in. We kick it off in Australia and New Zealand in Jan, Feb, March 2026, which is always the best time, I can’t wait to be back.”

Tickets for the dates, which wrap up March 3 in Adelaide, go on sale July 29.

Ed didn’t mention when or if he’ll bring the new tour to North America, but since he’ll have a new album to support, it seems possible. Plus, earlier this year, he told a fan on his private Instagram account that Australia and New Zealand dates would come first, followed by Latin America and then the U.S.

Ed’s new album PLAY, which has produced the singles “Azizam” and “Sapphire,” arrives Sept. 12. His Mathematics Tour, which has been going since 2022, will finally wrap up in September in Germany.

On This Day, July 22, 1977…

Elvis Costello launched his music career with the U.K. release of his debut album, My Aim Is True.

The album, produced by Nick Lowe, featured Costello backed by the San Francisco country rock band Clover, although contractual issues resulted in their name being left off the album.

Although the album did not contain any chart-topping singles, at least two tracks went on to be Costello classics, “Alison” and “(These Angels Want to Wear) My Red Shoes.”

After the release, Costello was nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy, although he lost to the R&B group A Taste of Honey.

Costello and The Imposters with Charlie Sexton kick off a new tour on Sept. 18 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. A complete list of dates can be found at ElvisCostello.com.
