Hot 100: Alex Warren’s at #1, Justin Bieber’s at #2, Teddy Swims makes history (again)

July 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

It’s just another “Ordinary” day for Alex Warren, as his hit song spends a seventh week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s also on top for an eighth week on Billboard‘s Songs of the Summer chart. But there are interesting developments going on below that.

Justin Bieber‘s “Daisies,” from new album Swag, debuts at #2 on the Hot 100, giving the singer his 27th top-10 hit. It also debuts at #1 on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart. The last time Justin was in the top 10 was in 2022 with his song “Ghost.”

Plus, Ravyn Lenae‘s song “Love Me Not” has jumped from #12 to #7, giving the singer her first-ever top-10 hit.

And Teddy Swims‘ “Lose Control,” which is currently at #9, becomes the first song in history to spend 100 weeks on the Hot 100. It debuted on the chart back in August 2023, hit #1 in March 2024 and ended as the #1 song of that year. “Lose Control” has also spent a record 70 weeks in the top 10.

Teddy has owned the record for most time spent on the Hot 100 for several weeks now, since he surpassed the previous record of 91 weeks held by Glass Animals‘ “Heat Waves.” But no other song has ever stretched a Hot 100 chart run into triple digits.

Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler rocks his body at Backstreet Boys Vegas concert

July 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

All you people can’t you see, can’t you see, how your love’s affecting our Master of Reality?

Fresh off Black Sabbath‘s farewell concert, bassist Geezer Butler took a trip to Las Vegas to check out the Backstreet Boys‘ Sphere residency. Butler also met the members of the now-grown boy band backstage, and shared a photo of the moment on Instagram.

“Thanks for letting me audition, but after much consideration, I decided to stick with bass guitar,” Butler writes in the caption.

In case it needed to be said, Butler clarifies that he’s kidding about the audition part, but adds, “Great show last night, though.”

The Boys themselves also replied in the comments, “Thanks for coming man!”

Sabbath’s farewell concert, dubbed Back to the Beginning, took place on July 5 and featured the final live performance by the band’s original lineup — Butler, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward — as well as Ozzy’s last live show.

Back to the Beginning is set to screen in movie theaters in 2026.

Billy Joel gives fans an update on his health: ‘I feel fine’

July 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Billy Joel opened up about his health during an appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast.

Billy canceled all his scheduled shows in May, revealing that he had been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a disorder where fluid builds up in the brain. He told Maher his condition is “not fixed, it’s still being worked on,” but assures fans, “I feel fine.”

“My balance sucks. It’s like being on a boat,” he said, explaining his condition “used to be called water on the brain. Now it’s called hydrocephalus — normal pressure hydrocephalus.” He added that “nobody knows” what causes it.

“I feel good,” Joel added. “They keep referring to what I have as a brain disorder, so it sounds a lot worse than what I’m feeling.”

Joel reiterated his positive outlook about his condition in a statement to People.

“I know a lot of people are worried about me and my health, but I’m okay,” he says. “What I have is something very few people know about, including me, no matter how much you try to research it. I’m doing my best to work with it and to recover from it.”

He adds, “It was scary, but I’m okay. I just wanted to let people know, don’t worry about me being deathly ill or anything.”

Joel is the subject of a new HBO documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes, which debuted Friday. Part two premieres July 25. Both parts will stream on HBO Max.

Dead & Company’s final San Francisco show to be screened live

July 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Dead & Company is getting ready to celebrate the 60-year legacy of the Grateful Dead with three shows at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park the first weekend in August. And if you can’t make it out west, you’ll still have a chance to experience the celebration.

Dead & Company just announced that the final show on Aug. 3 will be broadcast live at 30 IMAX theaters nationwide, with screenings starting at 6 p.m. PT. The concert is estimated to run for 3 1/2 hours, with a 30-minute intermission.

Tickets for the screening are on sale now, and each ticket comes with a collectible mini poster and lanyard.

San Francisco and the Grateful Dead have been synonymous with each other since the beginning. The jam band was founded in the City By the Bay in 1965 by Jerry Garcia, Bobby Weir, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan and Bill Kreutzmann, with drummer Mickey Hart and lyricist Robert Hunter joining the group in 1967.

Dead & Company — Weir, Hart, John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti and Jay Lane — also have a tie to the city. They wrapped their Final Tour with three nights at San Francisco’s Oracle Park in 2023. They returned to live performing with their Dead Forever residencies at the Sphere Las Vegas in 2024 and 2025.

Today it’s the most played song in the country.”

“Single Again” took 71 weeks to make it to the pinnacle in the U.S.

Josh’s full-length debut, Later Tonight, is set to follow on Sept. 19.

The Boss made a surprise appearance on the final night of Bryan’s three-night MetLife stand, joining the country star and Kings of Leon’s Caleb Followill, whose band opened the show, for a performance of Springsteen’s classic “Atlantic City.”

Fan-shot footage posted to social media shows Zach introducing Springsteen as “one of the greatest men to ever exist.” The trio then traded off verses of the song, which appeared on Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska.

July 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Motion City Soundtrack frontman Justin Pierre wasn’t able to make the band’s set at the Minnesota Yacht Club festival on Saturday, but everything was still alright.

You can see footage of the Stump-fronted Motion City Soundtrack, which at least one person in the comments dubbed Motion City Stumptrack, via the Minnesota Yacht Club TikTok.

Following his guest MCS stint, Stump rejoined Fall Out Boy for their headlining set at Minnesota Yacht Club.

Stump previously played with Motion City Soundtrack during a performance of “Everything Is Alright” at the 2024 When We Were Young festival.
