Corey Kent’s ‘Something’s Gonna Kill Me’ is a million seller

March 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Corey Kent’s “Something’s Gonna Kill Me,” the follow-up to his #1 “Wild as Her” didn’t seem to find the same success as its predecessor. But it turns out it just took a little longer: It’s just hit a million in sales, according to the RIAA.

“‘Something’s Gonna Kill Me’ going platinum is so special to me and something that I have to thank the fans for,” Corey says in a statement. “This song is a huge part of my world view. Living life fully. Not allowing fear, even the fear of death, to stop you from doing the things that make you feel most alive. It means so much that the message resonated so deeply with fans. Their support made this a platinum record.”

Just like the triple Platinum “Wild as Her,” “Something’s Gonna Kill Me” is from Corey’s 2023 Blacktop album.

He followed it up with his #1 “This Heart,” from his Black Bandana record.

Right now, fans are waiting for news of his next album, which will feature his current top-20, “Rocky Mountain Low” with Koe Wetzel, as well as the recently released “Empty Words.”

Put me in coach: John Fogerty to reissue 1985 solo album, ‘Centerfield’

March 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Just in time for baseball’s opening day, John Fogerty, the only musician to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, has announced that he’s reissuing his 1985 solo album, Centerfield.

Centerfield (Hall of Fame Edition), set to arrive this summer, will feature a remastered version of the album sourced from the original half-inch master analog tapes. The CD and digital editions will also feature live performances of the album’s three hit singles: the title track, “The Old Man Down The Road” and “Rock and Roll Girls.” The live tracks were recorded in 2024 and performed with his sons, Shane Fogerty and Tyler Fogerty.

Released in January 1985, Centerfield was the third solo album from Fogerty, who played all the instruments on the project. It hit #1 in the U.S. and gave Fogerty his only top-10 single as a solo artist, “The Old Man Down The Road,” which peaked at #10.

Fogerty has a busy 2026 ahead of him. He’ll perform at the “Thank You, NYPD” concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden Saturday, and he has a string of solo tour dates booked for May and June. In September, he’ll launch a new leg of his Legacy Tour, this time with fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Steve Winwood. It kicks off Sept. 3 in Tinley Park, Illinois, outside of Chicago.

On June 11, Fogerty will be honored by the Songwriters Hall of Fame with the 2026 Johnny Mercer Award, the organization’s highest honor.

March 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Dash Crofts, one half of the popular soft rock duo Seals & Crofts, known for such songs as “Summer Breeze” and “Diamond Girl,” died Wednesday at the age of 85.

An agent for Crofts’ daughter Lua Crofts Faragher confirmed the news to ABC Audio.

“Lua, her family, and Brady Seals are mourning this deep loss,” read the statement. Brady Seals was a cousin of Jim Seals, the other half of Seals & Crofts. He and Lua currently perform under the name Seals & Crofts 2.

“We are honoring and celebrating the amazing life and legacy of Darrell George ‘Dash’ Crofts, and are so grateful for the music that lives on through Seals & Crofts 2,” the statement continued.

Producer Louie Shelton, who produced several of Seals & Crofts’ albums, including 1972’s Summer Breeze and 1973’s Diamond Girl, posted about Crofts’ death on Facebook.

“Sad to hear our dear brother and partner in music has passed away today,” Shelton wrote Wednesday. “Sending love and prayers to all his family and many fans. R.I.P. my brother…..Dash Crofts.”

Crofts and Jim Seals began recording under the name Seals & Crofts in 1969, releasing their self-titled debut album that year.

The duo scored their breakthrough hit in 1972 with the album Summer Breeze, which peaked at #7. The album’s title track became a top-10 hit, peaking at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

They scored another top-10 album with their fifth studio release, 1973’s Diamond Girl. The title track from that album also peaked at #6 on the chart, as did “Get Closer,” the title track off their eighth studio album.

March 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz of the Beastie Boys is part of the cast for an upcoming Netflix movie called Time Out, starring Adam Sandler.

The film, which is based on a 2001 French movie called L’Emploi du temps, follows Vince, played by Sandler, a recently fired man who “can’t bring himself to tell his wife and family” that he’s lost his job,” according to a description on Netflix’s Tudum.

“Rather than reveal the truth, he spins a web of lies to conceal his situation,” the description reads. “He escalates his lies further when he creates an investment scheme and asks friends to contribute. His deception threatens to overwhelm his life and his family.”

The Time Out cast also includes Willem Dafoe, Gaby Hoffmann, F. Murray Abraham and Steve Zahn. A release date has yet to be announced.

Horovitz has previously acted in movies including While We’re Young and Golden Exits.

On This Day, March 26, 2025: Bruce Springsteen, Michael Stipe & more celebrate Patti Smith at New York concert

March 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

On This Day, March 26, 2025 …

Bruce Springsteen and R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe were among the artists celebrating Patti Smith at New York’s Carnegie Hall as part of the annual Music Of… concert series, put on by New York City entrepreneur Michael Dorf.

Springsteen, who was a last-minute addition to the bill, performed “Because the Night,” which he co-wrote with Smith and went on to become a hit for her. Stipe performed “My Blakean Year,” from Smith’s 2004 album Trampin’.

Other artists who performed at the concert included Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O, Maggie Rogers, Johnny Depp, Glen Hansard, The Kills’ Alison Mosshart, Susanna Hoffs, Ben Harper and The National’s Matt Berninger.

Smith — joined by her band, Lenny Kaye, Tony Shanahan and Jay Dee Daugherty — ended the evening with a performance of “Peaceable Kingdom,” and was then joined on stage by all the performers for a rendition of her iconic tune “People Have the Power.”

‘The Masked Singer’ reveals Rachel Platten is ‘Pangolin’

March 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

“Fight Song” singer Rachel Platten was revealed to be “Pangolin” on The Masked Singer Wednesday night. Panelist Jenny McCarthy correctly guessed that Rachel was under the mask.

After the unmasking, Rachel told host Nick Cannon that she — like the panelists — didn’t know what a pangolin was at first. Fun fact: They’re a kind of scaly anteater found in Asia and Africa.

“I’m very spiritual and I wanted to understand its core, so I watched a documentary,” Rachel told the judges. “And I sobbed! I was like, ‘This animal is very beautiful. People need to know!'”

“Pangolin justice!” she yelled as the crowd cheered.

When Nick asked Rachel if performing incognito changed her connection to music, Rachel said, “You know, for 13 years I toured around the country and sold CDs out of my suitcase. And all those years I would just have to prove who I was. No one knew my name and it was just about how I could make them feel. And it really brought me back to that.”

“It brought me back to that feeling of like this is not about what I look like or the clothes or the brand. This is like, ‘Can I make you feel what I’m feeling? Touch your hearts. Open your hearts?'” Rachel added to cheers and applause.

During her time on the show, Rachel sang songs like “It Must’ve Been Love” by Roxette, “What a Feeling (Flashdance)” by Irene Cara, “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette and “Mama, I’m Coming Home” by Ozzy Osbourne.

Megan Moroney was ‘walking on sunshine’ when she landed on ‘Cloud 9’

March 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

If you’re a Megan Moroney fan, you probably know there was a marked change of mood for the new country superstar between 2024’s Am I Okay? and February’s Cloud 9.

So what made her world change from blue to pink (the colors she chose to represent each album)? While she’s not spilling any major tea, she is offering some clues.

“It was inspired by a time where I was just excited about life,” Megan says. “I mean, I remember being just so happy and I remember thinking, like, ‘I know exactly where cloud 9 is and it feels like I am way above it.'”

“Between the shows I was playing and my personal life, I was just really walking on sunshine,” she adds.

While there’s lots of speculation about exactly who it was that made Megan so happy, so far she’s not dropping any names.

Cloud 9 features her most recent #1, “6 Months Later,” as well as her current hit, “Beautiful Things.”

Melissa Etheridge’s new album is about ‘rising up after devastation’: ‘It’s very hopeful’

March 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Melissa Etheridge’s new album, Rise, out Friday, is her first album of new, original material since the 2020 death of her 21-year-old son, Beckett Cypher. But despite that, the album contains a lot of joy.

The album is titled Rise after a song of the same name that Melissa wrote after the LA fires, which got her thinking about “rising up after devastation.”

“I’ve … had enough ups and downs in my life that I realized that … life is full of loss, and it helps you appreciate what we do have and the relationships we have and how we move through them,” she told ABC Audio. “And so Rise is very hopeful.”

But the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee was only ready to write “the uplifting part” of the album after completing “Call You,” a song about Beckett.

“I knew I wanted to just state that, yes, I’ve experienced this incredible loss, this crushing loss. And I’m not going to stop living … I’m going to keep going, even if you’re not here,” she said.

In keeping with the album’s theme, “Call You” is followed by “More Love,” which Melissa first performed at her daughter Bailey Cypheridge’s wedding in September 2025.

Melissa kicks off a tour in support of the album Thursday in Detroit and told ABC Audio that fans will definitely hear the hits, noting, “That’s why I play. I love nothing more than getting up and screaming and shouting, ‘I’m the Only One.'”

But she also plans to play seven or eight songs from the new album, for those who are familiar with some of the songs and want to hear them live, and to encourage those who haven’t to check them out.

As she explained, “I just think it creates new memories.”

Sienna Spiro explains her 1960s style

March 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

If you’ve seen Sienna Spiro’s video for “Die On This Hill” — or her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon — you know that she likes to rock a 1960s look, complete with bouffant hairdo, romper dress and boots. Speaking to Interview magazine, Sienna says she was only able to settle on that style after a lot of self-hatred.

“I love the personality and character of the sixties, and how individual it is,” says the British singer. “It took me a really long time to find my style because I grew up, honestly, hating my body. It took me a while to be comfortable being looked at on stage.”

“But I love the silhouettes from back then and I’ve grown into myself and feel a lot more confident than I used to,” she continues. “Nancy Sinatra, Barbara Streisand and Francoise Hardy are amazing women who I just admire a lot. And those paper dresses or the little box dresses. I just love that.”

When it comes to her musical style, Sienna’s influences are equally vintage.

“When I was super young, Frank Sinatra, Nina [Simone], Etta James, Dinah Washington, Barbara Streisand, Al Green—all the greats were played in my house,” she says. “That was my pop music, and I used to try and emulate the way they would sing.”

Sienna also talks about about the “sad girl vibes” of her music, explaining, “I have to write wherever I’m living. I’m not sad all the time. I just find it easy to pull from that emotion.”

But, she notes, “It’s a sad set, I’ll be honest with you. I would love to make some upbeat songs.”

Sublime premieres title track off upcoming album, ’Until the Sun Explodes’

March 25, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Sublime has premiered the title track from the band’s upcoming album, Until the Sun Explodes.

Until the Sun Explodes is due out June 12 and marks the first new album to be released under the name Sublime since their 1996 self-titled effort, which came out months after the death of frontman Bradley Nowell.

Sublime disbanded following Nowell’s death, and band members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh launched the spinoff group Sublime with Rome in 2009. They reformed at the end of 2023 with Nowell’s son, Jakob Nowell, on vocals and guitar.

“The last Sublime record that will ever be made is Self-Titled,” Jakob Nowell writes in a Facebook post. “There’s no replacing history, period. Until the Sun Explodes the album is an epilogue, and ‘Until the Sun Explodes’ the single is the epilogue to the epilogue.”

He continues, “It is a tribute to the expansive works of Sublime, it is an acknowledgment for all that my father has done for me my entire life, and most importantly it is a thank you. I love you dad, and I owe you my life.”

You can watch the video for the Until the Sun Explodes title track streaming now on YouTube.

The Until the Sun Explodes track list also includes the 2025 single “Ensenada,” which hit #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.
