Chris Janson gives fans a sneak peek at the title track of his new album in a new video on social media.

With an Emmy already under his belt for the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show, Kendrick Lamar now has a chance to win another. His halftime performance at the 2025 Super Bowl received four nominations for the 77th Emmy Awards, which were announced Tuesday morning.
The Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show Starring Kendrick Lamar earned a nod for outstanding music direction and will face Beyoncé‘s Beyoncé Bowl in the categories of outstanding variety special live, outstanding directing for a variety special and outstanding choreography for variety or reality programming.
Bey’s Netflix documentary also received a nod for outstanding production design for a variety special; it has earned a total of four Emmys nominations.
Questlove follows behind with three nominations, including outstanding directing for a documentary/nonfiction for Ladies & Gentleman…50 Years of SNL Music. His documentary about Sly Stone, Sly Lives! (Aka The Burden of Black Genius), is up for outstanding documentary or nonfiction special, and SNL Music: The Homecoming Concert is nominated foroutstanding music direction.
The 77th Emmy Awards will air live on Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. It will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
The Emmy nominations were announced Tuesday, with Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh earning a nod, along with projects about Sly Stone, The Beatles and Bono.
Mothersbaugh, a founding member of Devo, earned a nomination for outstanding original main title theme music for his work on Netflix’s The Residence. Although he’s made music for TV for years, this is his first Emmy nomination.
Also nominated is the Hulu Sly Stone documentary Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius), directed by Amir “Questlove” Thompson, which was recognized in the outstanding documentary non-fiction category. Questlove also earned a nod for outstanding direction for a documentary/non-fiction program for Ladies and Gentleman…50 years of SNL Music, which charted the history of musical guests on the NBC late-night comedy show.
And several musical projects were nominated in technical categories, including the Disney+ doc Beatles ’64, Bono’s Apple TV+ documentary Bono: Stories of Surrender, the CBS special An Evening with Elton John and Brandi Carlile, ABC’s 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction special and SNL50: the Homecoming Concert.
One rocker who didn’t get an Emmy nod was Bruce Springsteen, although he was eligible for his Hulu documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. That continues to leave The Boss one award shy of an EGOT, as he’s already won 20 Grammys, an Oscar and an honorary Tony Award.
The 77th Emmy Awards, hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, will air Sept. 14 live on CBS. The show will stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Long time no see is the story of Stevie Wonder‘s life. He made that clear at a recent show following years of speculation that he isn’t actually blind.
“I must say to all of you something that I was thinking,” he said to the crowd at Blackweir Live in Cardiff, Wales, according to a clip shared to social media. “I wanted to let the world know this, but I wanted to say it right now. You know there have been rumors about me seeing and all that. But seriously, you know the truth. The truth is, shortly after my birth, I became blind.”
Stevie described how the visual impairment has ended up being a blessing in his life.
He shared, “It’s allowed me to see the world in the vision of truth. See people in the spirit of them. Not how they look or what color they are, but what color is their spirit.”
