Artificial Paradise marks OneRepublic’s sixth studio album. They’ve previously released a handful of singles from the project, including “Sunshine,” “Runaway,” David Guetta collab “I Don’t Wanna Wait,” as well as “Nobody,” and “Fire” (featuring Meduza and Leony). To date, OneRepublic has earned four top 10 hits on the all-genre Billboard 100, including 2022’s “I Ain’t Worried,” 2014’s “Counting Stars,” 2011’s “The Good Life,” and their feature on Timbaland’s 2007 hit “Apologize.”
Jelly Roll recently earned his first Billboard 200 album debut with his project Beautifully Broken, which features the hit songs “Liar” and “I Am Not Okay.” He’s earned six No. 1 songs on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and is currently on his headlining The Beautifully Broken Tour, which visits Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 26.
Both OneRepublic and Jelly Roll were both previously on the lineup for the 2023 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, which made stops at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Washington, D.C’s Capital One Arena and Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center, among other venues.

The piano in question, a Grand Hamilton is available for bidding via Gotta Have Rock and Roll. Bidding is open until Friday, Dec. 16 with a minimum bid of $50,000. Only a handful of bids are expected, it seems, with an estimated sale range of between $100,000 and $200,000.
The instrument is offered for sale by English singer/songwriter Robbie Patton, who first came across the piano when beginning a lifelong friendship with Stevie Nicks in 1975. “One day, I’m in the house of Stevie and she has two pianos, one of them was this black Grand Hamilton Piano where she wrote most of her songs on,” Patton explained. “She wrote everything on the piano, she really cherished it as her own.”

Some of the songs composed on the piano include “Songbird” from the band’s 1977 classic Rumours, and “Sara”, which peaked at No. 7 on the Hot 100 upon its release as the second single from 1979’s Tusk. The piano hit the road that same year, with Patton serving as opening act for the band on their tour.
Christine McVie reportedly used the piano on stage between 1982 and 1983 in support of their Mirage album before it returned to Nicks’ home. The lead single from that album was “Hold Me”, which was co-written by McVie and Patton and peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100. Patton requested the instrument as payment, where it came into his possession and found some famous players in the process.
“I used to work for all the big musicians, Elton John, for four and a half years,” he explained. “John Reid managed Elton John and then Queen. Freddie Mercury even came by for a recording session and used the piano. Elton John used the piano. The people who have touched this piano are crazy!”
Though it has since been refurbished and lacquered, the listing states that the keys have never changed. It also comes with a letter of authenticity signed by Patton, Nicks, and the late McVie in 2015.
Veteran New York City hip-hop outfit De La Soul have denounced a new book about the trio, taking to social media to tell followers they’re “exploring” legal options in the wake of its publication.

The book in question is High And Rising: A Book About De La Soul, published by writer Marcus J. Moore on Tuesday (Nov. 19). Moore, who had previously published The Butterfly Effect: How Kendrick Lamar Ignited the Soul of Black America in 2020 described his decision to write about the group as coming from a desire to talk about “subjects that are somewhat — if not completely — underappreciated in the literary space”.
“The first book about De La Soul, High and Rising shows that De La Soul is Black history, American history, world history, our history,” a synopsis for the book reads. “This is a tale about staying the course, and how holding true to your virtue can lead to dynamic results.”

However, the very subject of the volume have since denounced its publication, with De La Soul noting they “want to make it absolutely clear: this is an unauthorized book, and we are not connected to it in any way.”
“For years, you’ve stood with us in our fight for ownership of our catalog and the right to benefit from the music we created. That same dedication to protecting what’s ours extends to being the ones who tell OUR story—something deeply personal and ‘De La’ to the core,” they wrote. “Our story will be told in our words, in our way, with the style you’ve come to know and love. Until then, we encourage you to indulge in the authentic DA.I.S.Y. Age by supporting projects backed by us.
“If you choose to support this book, that’s your right. We just want it to be clear that we do not and we are exploring all of our legal options. Even within this book’s title, the ‘3’ Is missing which shows how inauthentic it is because for us, ‘3’ will always be the magic number.”
De La Soul’s post closed by noting they’re “cooking up something special for Spring 2025”, with many fans in the comment section requestion they reconsider their decision, and sharing support for Moore and his work.
Formed in 1988, De La Soul quickly rose to fame in 1989 with the release of their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and has since been viewed as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.
The group released their ninth album, And the Anonymous Nobody…, in 2016, peaking at No. 9 and serving as their last record to date. Founding member Trugoy the Dove (aka Dave Jolicoeur) passed away in 2023, just weeks before the trio’s protracted battle to bring their catalog to streaming came to an end.
Michael Bublé’s blockbuster holiday album Christmas returns to the top 40 of the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Nov. 23), zooming from No. 72 to No. 35.

English musician Kate Nash has announced the launch of a new OnlyFans page to help fund the continuance of her current tour.
The new page is part of a new campaign dubbed ‘Butts 4 Tour Buses’, which launches alongside the first date of the musician’s tour of the U.K. and Europe.
“Whilst touring is the best job EVER it is currently technically what you might call a passion project for a lot of artists in 2024,” Nash explained in a statement. “A recent survey by Pirate Studios found that whilst gig ticket & festival prices are sky rocketing & we are seeing a select few in the industry become millionaires or even billionaires from touring, the majority of musicians and artists are struggling to be able afford to actually play shows.

“Costs of travel, accommodation, food, promotion & employees have also gone up in price but musicians are not seeing changes in their gig fees to help pay for all these rising costs,” she continued. “So this Christmas I’m asking that buy either a piece of my merch or my arse on my new ONLYFANS account katenyash87 to support me paying great wages & putting on a high quality show as I will not sacrifice either of things. (No need to stream my music, I’m good for the 0.003 of a penny per stream thanks) Pogue Mahone everyone! 🍑❤️”
Nash isn’t the only artist to utilize OnlyFans as a source of supplementary income. In July, fellow English singer Lily Allen launched her own account to sell feet pictures, having explained via her podcast Miss Me? that she was considering the option.

“I have a lady that comes and does my nails,” she told co-host Miquita Oliver. “They informed me that I have five stars on WikiFeet, which is quite rare. My feet are rated quite highly on the internet.”
“She said that I could make a lot of money from selling foot content on OnlyFans,” Allen added. “And I’m like, ‘Not no.’”
Last month, Allen provided an update, noting that the income derived from the new career move had already resulted in the surpassing of the income made by her monthly Spotify streams.
“imagine being and artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet,” Allen wrote on social media.
Allen’s remark came in response to someone who’d negatively commented on a post advertising her OnlyFans account. “Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this,” the fan wrote, to which the “Smile” singer added: “don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
Entertainers need to be well-versed in business, and rappers like Lil Baby understand that — especially in today’s music industry.
