MUSICApple Music released its year-end data, and 2025 was good to Kendrick Lamar. He and SZA had the top song of the year in the U.S., with "Luther". Morgan Wallen had a good year, too. We discuss the the Top 10:On the Global chart, the #1 song was "APT." by ROSE and Bruno Mars. "Luther" came in second. Even though Kendrick had a great year, he did NOT accomplish his main goal, which was to END DRAKE. He was Apple's most-streamed artist GLOBALLY in 2025. Willie Nelson is tired of the internet trying to kill him off . . . and he finally said so in the most Willie way possible. https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2025/12/01/willie-nelson-sounds-off-on-the-endless-amount-of-ai-slop-about-him-if-you-believe-those-death-stories-one-more-time/ Think you can dodge Wham! this holiday season? Think again. Whamageddon is the ultimate holiday survival game. The challenge? Make it till Christmas Eve without hearing Wham!’s “Last Christmas.” Sounds easy, right? Nope. This song is everywhere, from here on the radio to shops to the dentist’s office. The rules are simple: if you hear the original 1984 version of the song, you’re out and have to post your fail to #Whamageddon. But covers and remixes? Totally safe. The song is hard to escape … So, be careful out there. And good luck! https://www.aol.com/articles/think-beat-whamageddon-dodge-one-205519330.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9zdGF0aWNzLnRlYW1zLmNkbi5vZmZpY2UubmV0Lw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAE4LKFNU0obfYftLM3HS0I3IXT_4AMPdBHCN-dMHo1M-dws6Qq0VHTcF4fc2qyJdxXb02DCE_XrcWpU8FOGBgHrgBwDq-gfmY3loC0GtJOf9JCAIbMJrXuLpwLMz2lUYMDjtFC5REf3ACTxe5qsAYFGl2jfiv__btgFG-1mFXoNi TVThe Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting: The famous tree will be lit tonight during Christmas in Rockefeller Center, a two-hour special airing live from New York City on NBC and simulcast on Peacock.
