Hours before Travis Scott hit the MetLife Stadium stage in New Jersey, a bus full of elementary school kids are chanting along to his “FE!N” anthem driving up Manhattan’s Upper East Side. La Flame asserted stadium status when performing in front of over 60,000 ragers for his second U.S. stadium show — California’s SoFi Stadium […]

Barbra Streisand is among the top contenders for a Grammy nomination for best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording category for the audiobook of her long-awaited memoir, My Name Is Barbra. That was also the title of her first TV special in 1965, for which she won a Primetime Emmy (outstanding individual achievements in entertainment – actors and performers), and a companion album for which she won a Grammy (best vocal performance, female).
Streisand received a life achievement award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Feb. 24, one of many such awards she has won. At the Grammys, she is one of just two women (Aretha Franklin is the other) to have won both a lifetime achievement award and a Grammy legend award.

This category usually yields one of most eclectic groups of nominees on the Grammy ballot – and so it will likely be again this year. The two most certain nominees would appear to be former president Jimmy Carter’s Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration and Matthew Perry’s Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing. On Oct. 1, Carter became the first U.S. president in history to reach the age of 100. Perry died in October 2023 at age 54 after a long struggle with drug dependency – “the big terrible thing” in the title of his memoir.

This would be Carter’s 10th nomination in the category, which would extend his record as the person with the most nods in the history of the category (which dates to the first Grammy ceremony in 1959). Should he win, it would be his fourth win in the category, which would enable him to break out of a tie with poet Maya Angelou as the person with the most wins in the category. Carter previously won for Our Endangered Values (2007), A Full Life: Reflections at 90 (2016) and Faith: A Journey for All (2019).

Perry received five Primetime Emmy nominations – including one for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on Friends.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a good chance at a nomination for The Art of Power. She would become the first current or former House Speaker to be nominated in this category. Grammy voters lean Democratic and this would give them a chance to salute the longtime leader, who was the first woman elected as House Speaker. She served from 2007-11 and again from 2019-23.

Questlove is a strong contender with Hip-Hop Is History. The hip-hop icon has been nominated twice in this category, with Creative Quest (2019) and Music Is History (2023). Questlove won both an Oscar and a Grammy for directing the acclaimed documentary, Summer of Soul.

And that’s how fast five slots fill up. There are many other strong contenders on the entry list of 145 entries should any of these presumed front-runners fall short.

Jill Biden‘s Willow the White House Cat could easily make it. Former first ladies Hillary Rodham Clinton (as she was known when she won) and Michelle Obama each won in this category. (Obama won twice.) Many Grammy voters will want to salute the Bidens as Joe Biden’s presidency winds down. But this particular audiobook may seem a little slight. Some voters may prefer to wait for the audiobook of her expected memoir chronicling her life in the public eye.

Dolly Parton’s Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones could also make the grade. The country queen was nominated in at least one category in 36 of the Grammys’ first 66 years, a remarkable show of sustained voter appeal. She has been nominated in each of the last five years. But she has yet to be nominated in this category.

Three past winners in this category are on this year’s entry list. In addition to former president Carter, they are TV hosts Rachel Maddow and Stephen Colbert. Maddow is entered with Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism; Colbert with Life, a collab with Father John Quigley.

Maddow won in this category in 2021 with Blowout: Corrupted Democracy, Rouge State Russia and the Richest, Most Destructive Industry on Earth. (It didn’t win for Snappiest Title.) Colbert won in 2014 for America Again: Re-becoming the Greatness We Never Weren’t, from the period when he was parodying a right-wing, blowhard commentator on The Colbert Report.

Mariah Carey’s A Portrait of a Portrait could be a contender, though Carey hasn’t been nominated in any category since 2008.

Britney Spears didn’t narrate the audiobook for her best-selling memoir The Woman in Me. Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams did, and is entered here. Fun Fact: The Woman in Me topped the New York Times Hardcover Non-Fiction best-seller list, blocking My Name Is Barbra from reaching the top spot.

My Name Is Barbra isn’t the only case where a music star repurposed one of their old titles. Michael McDonald is entered with his audiobook What a Fool Believes, which he titled after The Doobie Brothers’ classic, which won Grammys for record and song of the year in 1979.

Many other titles by musicians are on the list, including George Clinton’s …And Your Ass Will Follow; Willow Smith’s Black Shield Maiden; gospel star Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s Do It Anyway: Don’t Give Up Before It Gets Good; Geddy Lee’s My Effin’ Life; Thurston Moore’s Sonic Life; Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, Romy Ashby & Dennis Bousikaris’s Under a Rock; Tegan and Sara’s Under My Control; Jeff Tweedy’s World Within a Song: Music That Changes My Life and Life That Changed My Music; Jessie Reyez’s Words of a Goat Princess; John McEuen’s The Newsman: A Man of Record; Geri Halliwell-Horner’s Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen; and Jim Wilson’s Tuned In: Memoirs of a Piano Man – Behind-The-Scenes with Music Legends and Finding the Artist Within.

There are a number of titles by people from the worlds of politics and media on the list, including Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life; Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford’s One Way Back; Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s True Gretch; Doris Kearns Goodwin & Bryan Cranston’s An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s and Ali Velshi’s Small Acts of Courage.

Three past winners for best comedy album are on the entry list here. In addition to Colbert, they are Tiffany Haddish and Whoopi Goldberg. Haddish is entered with I Curse You With Joy. Goldberg has two entries on the list, Bits and Pieces and Camino Ghosts.

Grammy, Emmy and Tony winner Cynthia Erivo is entered with Children of Anguish and Anarchy. Charlamagne tha God, who was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2020 as a member of The Breakfast Club, is entered with Get Honest or Die Lying. Nicole Avant, a former U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas (and the daughter of Clarence and Jacqueline Avant), is entered with Think You’ll Be Happy.

Works by TV stars on the list include Henry Winkler’s Being Henry; Dan Aykroyd’s Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitude; Michael Richards’ Entrances and Exits; Julianne Hough’s Everything We Never Knew; RuPaul’s The House of Hidden Meanings; John Stamos’ If You Would Have Told Me; Mo Rocca’s Roctogenarians; Dr. Phil’s We’ve Got Issues (he’s listed as Phillip C. McGraw, PHD); Bill Maher’s What This Comedian Said Will Shock You; Patrick Stewart’s Making It So: A Memoir; and George Takei’s My Lost Freedom: A Japanese American World War II Story.

Three-time Oscar nominee Laura Linney is entered with Summer, 1976, a collab with Jessica Hecht. Other works by film stars on the list include Billy Dee Williams’ What Have We Here?: Portraits of a Life and Rebel Wilson’s Rebel Rising: A Memoir.

Sports figures on the list include Andia Winslow with Brittney Griner’s Coming Home and Deion Sanders’ Elevate and Dominate: 21 Ways to Win On and Off the Field.

And did we mention that novelist Salman Rushdie is on the list with Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder? We told you the list was eclectic.

Our Fearless Forecast

So, which five titles have the best chance to be nominated? Here’s my prediction (alphabetically by title): Nancy Pelosi’s The Art of Power, Matthew Perry’s Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, Questlove’s Hip-Hop Is History, Jimmy Carter’s Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration, Barbra Streisand’s My Name Is Barbra.

In tandem with today’s observance of World Mental Health Day (Oct. 10), the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is unveiling its Never a Bother campaign in partnership with Grammy Award-winning artist and mental health advocate Megan Thee Stallion. The youth suicide prevention campaign is designed to heighten awareness of suicide prevention tools and resources before, during and after a crisis. 
The Never a Bother campaign video finds Megan Thee Stallion talking compassionately about her own mental health journey, the need for transparency in conversations about the subject and the free crisis resources available to youth through the initiative. Her comments were drawn from a recent video interview with Billboard executive director of R&B/hip-hop Gail Mitchell. 

“It took me a long time to be comfortable talking about my mental health,” the rapper shares at one point. “Asking for help doesn’t make me weak. Asking for help actually built my strength… going to get the help gave me the tools to be stronger. So I just definitely want to talk to the Hotties and let them know it’s OK to ask for help… Hotties, you are never a bother.” View the video below.

In addition to being posted on Megan’s Instagram and TikTok channels, the video appears on the Never a Bother website and its social media channels as well. The campaign was created with and for California youth with oversight by CDPH’s Office of Suicide Prevention to increase awareness about what’s become a crucial issue. According to data cited by the CDPH, suicide was the second leading cause of death among California youth between the ages of 10-25 from 2018 to 2022. A particular focus of the campaign, notes CDPH, are the “youth populations disproportionately impacted by suicide.”  

In tune with Megan’s message, the Never a Bother website also underscores to youths that “you are never a bother. Whether it’s a low point, a crisis or something you can’t exactly put into words, get help for yourself or a friend.” The site also features real stories from young people who have felt overwhelmed by life as well as from the friends who have helped. Resources to share with youth and young people can be downloaded as well from the above-referenced website.

Megan Thee Stallion is as well known for her music as she is for her strong advocacy of mental health. Last year, she filmed a PSA in association with the Seize the Awkward campaign. She also established the Pete and Thomas Foundation, which provides resources for women, children, senior citizens and underserved communities.

The Never a Bother campaign is part of the California Health and Human Services Agency’s Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI). As stated in the press announcement, this latest campaign “continues the state’s effort to increase awareness of suicide prevention and mental health resources, build life-saving intervention skills and promote help-seeking behavior.”

Spanish superstar Alejandro Sanz will be honored with the Billboard Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Singer-songwriter tobyMac banks his 11th No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian AC Airplay chart as “Nothin’ Sweeter” ascends to the top of the Oct. 12-dated ranking. The song increased by 6% in plays Sept. 27-Oct. 3, according to Luminate.
tobyMac, from Fairfax, Va., co-wrote the hit with Benji Cowart and Jordan Mohilowski. It’s the first single from his upcoming album.

“Nothin’ Sweeter,” also tobyMac’s 29th Christian AC Airplay top 10, follows his “Faithfully,” which dominated for eight weeks starting in February, becoming his longest-leading No. 1. Before that, “Christmas Is Different,” with Tasha Layton, hit No. 3 in December. tobyMac first reached the chart in May 2005; first hit the top 10 with “Made for Love” (No. 3, April 2007); and first led with “City on Our Knees,” for five weeks beginning in November 2009.

With 11 Christian AC Airplay No. 1s, tobyMac ties for King + Country for the fourth-most since the list launched in 2003. MercyMe ranks first with 20, followed by Jeremy Camp and Casting Crowns, each with 13.

Pace Paces Gospel Airplay

Latrice Pace scores her first No. 1 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart as “It’s Morning” rises two spots to the summit. The hit, which the Atlanta-based Pace solely wrote, rose by 15% in plays during the tracking week.

“It’s Morning” is the first rookie single to dominate Gospel Airplay this year, and the first since Angel Taylor’s “Speak” led for a week in December 2023.

Latrice Pace is also a member of gospel group the Anointed Pace Sisters, who have scored one Gospel Airplay top 10: “High Praise,” which reached No. 6 in 2007. The act has also logged two top 10s on Top Gospel Albums: Access Granted (No. 5, 2009) and the act’s maiden entry, U Know (No. 2, 1993).

The countdown to the Cure‘s return is just a few weeks away and on Wednesday (Oct. 9) the Robert Smith-led group pulled back the black curtain a bit more on their anticipated Songs of a Lost World album by revealing the track list and latest single, “A Fragile Thing.”

The swirling, midtempo rocker is classic Cure, with a morose, nearly minute-long instrumental intro that sets up a most on-brand tale of devastating love. “Every time you kiss me/ I could cry she said/ Don’t tell me how you miss me/ I could die tonight of a broken heart/ This loneliness has changed me/ We have been too far apart,” Smith sings.

In a clip from an upcoming interview about the band’s 14th studio album — its first since 2008’s 4:13 Dream — Smith talked about the inspiration behind the latest taste of the long-awaited LP. “It’s the ‘love song’ of the album, but it’s not really a love song in the way that [1989’s] ‘Lovesong’ is a love song,” he said. “It’s about love and how love is the most enduring of emotions, I think. It’s the most powerful emotion, and it’s incredibly resilient. And yet at the same time, incredibly fragile.”

Realizing that that sentiment sounds like a paradox, Smith added, “I know, and doesn’t really make much sense. But I think you know what I mean. You feel sometimes you’re in danger of destroying something, and yet you kind of know that it can’t be destroyed.” Smith also noted that he struggled to write the song, which was originally titled “Kill the Sun,” before it drastically changed into a final form that admittedly might be a bit too specific to his brand of heartache.

“But I’m hoping that it resonates with other people because it’s a universal thing,” Smith said.

The eight-song album will feature the previously released single “Alone,” as well as “A Fragile Thing,” three tracks the band debuted live on their 2022-2023 tour, “I Can Never Say Goodbye,” “And Nothing Is Forever,” and the recently teased “Endsong,” and three no one has heard yet: “Warsong,” “Drone:NoDrone,” and “All I Ever Am.”

The band recently announced two intimate pre-release shows in the UK slated to take place on Oct. 30 and 31. Songs of aLost World is due out on Nov. 1.

Watch the “A Fragile Thing” lyric video and Smith’s interview snippet below.

You can’t tune into a podcast, read a news story or stroll the aisles of a bookstore without being reminded of the endless search for personal happiness and mental health. However, as we observe World Mental Health Day (Oct. 10), it’s still a search that’s elusive for so many. I suspect it’s because much of the discussion about this ongoing search generally takes the position that mental health is somehow attainable without physical and spiritual health. I have found on my own journey that these three components — mind, body and soul — must all work together if one is ever to achieve real happiness. I have also found that there is one thing that connects them all: MUSIC. 

I grew up in and live in a world filled with music. My father Clarence Avant was responsible for introducing the music of Bill Withers, The S.O.S. Band, Alexander O’Neal and Cherrelle to the world. He started his career managing legends like Jimmy Smith, Dinah Washington and Lalo Schifrin. He ran in the same circles with Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. And at the end of his life, it was their music that brought him peace — even at his most difficult times physically, mentally and spiritually. In the days and months after the death of my mother, Jacquline Avant, I watched my dad slip into a near trance listening to those songs from the American Songbook. His eyes closed and head bobbing, he was transported back to happier times. Those songs connected him to memories and brought him to a calm place, a spiritual place.

After he suffered a stroke, I could see in his face that he was filled with fear. He could not understand why his body had failed him, even though he was 92 years old. Once in the ambulance, I had an idea and   searched for Frank Sinatra’s “Bewitched” to play on my phone. He immediately calmed down. While he could not speak, his feet and head began to bob once more to the beat of one of his favorite songs and singers. I watched in real time the power of music.

In a 2022 San Francisco Conservatory of Music article titled “What ‘Stranger Things’ Gets Right About Music Therapy,” SFCM singer/instructor Dr. Indre Viskontas talked about music therapy and the integral role it plays in the Netflix series. “Music can remind people of who they are, of who they love and of their past,” he asserted. “Sharing a musical experience can help them feel connected again to the present.” And according to a 2022 Health Psychology Review study about music therapy and stress reduction, researchers found that “music listening is strongly associated with reducing negative emotions and feelings such as subjective worry, state anxiety, restlessness or nervousness … and increase positive emotions and feelings such as happiness.” 

Music makes us happier and healthier as individuals, but it also has the power to create empathy that can transcend language and geography. In 1983, I learned about the civil rights struggles in Northern Ireland and of the 1972 protest that turned deadly there … not in school but by listening to U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday.” Lacking even the most basic protections, women in Somalia are subject to female genital mutilation and offered as child brides at alarming rates. Statistics, news coverage and documentaries have relayed these travesties.  But it was the haunting lyrics of Sade’s “Pearls,” particularly the poignant second verse — “Don’t know what she’s made of … I would like to be that brave” — that stuck in my heart and helped shape my life into adulthood.  

As a young girl, I had the blessed experience of traveling with Michael Jackson’s Bad tour. My father was the promoter and we toured throughout Europe, witnessing stadiums filled with fans. Many could not speak a word of English, but still they sang along to every hit song while they screamed and cried tears of joy for Michael. I saw it again a few years ago watching French fans singing along with Bruce Springsteen as if they were all from New Jersey. We see that now with non-Korean audiences singing along to BTS. Andrea Bocelli’s vocals can bring me to tears, even though I speak no Italian. Music can override our tribal barriers. A Swifty in Tokyo now shares a sisterhood with a Swifty in Memphis. 

If you need more proof of the healing power of music, one needs only to have witnessed the final touring years of Tony Bennett and Glen Campbell. Although Bennett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and had lost much of his memory in 2016, he continued to tour while performing his set to near perfection until 2021. Similarly, Campbell continued to tour, remembering lyrics long after losing memories of nearly everything else. 

The science of music’s healing powers has found support within the music industry as record labels have begun launching wellness initiatives. In 2021, MedRhythms, a digital therapeutics company, partnered with Universal Music Group to provide sensors, software and music to help restore function lost to neurologic disease or injury. Given that music is all around us, the music industry has a unique — and purposeful — opportunity to make the connections that can amplify the healing and strengthening powers of music. 

Music can literally lift our spirits, even in the face of unimaginable grief. I myself have found a way to process my grief through music. The music I listen to includes Adele’s power anthem “Rolling in the Deep” while trying desperately to sing along, George Michael’s Listen Without Prejudice album and Bill Withers’ Still Bill. These albums and songs remind me of who I am, the people I love and occasionally the hard things I have successfully navigated; things that I have gotten through before.

Just listening to more music is not all you need. But it’s a very powerful start on the pathway to mental, physical and spiritual health. The answers we seek aren’t far away. They are in our playlists.

Nicole Avant is the producer of the critically acclaimed, award-winning film The Black Godfather and the upcoming Tyler Perry-directed film Six Triple Eight (in theaters Dec. 6).

A number of artists have stepped up to offer help to the wide swath of Americans who were impacted by hurricanes Helene and Milton, including Taylor Swift, who donated $5 million to relief efforts in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, according to a statement from Feeding America on Wednesday.

Helene made landfall in Florida on Sept. 26 and brought with her historic storm surge and lashing winds that resulted in 230 deaths to date and billions of dollars in damage to homes and infrastructure. Milton’s landfall in Florida on Wednesday (Oct. 9) as a category 3 storm is expected to leave an equally destructive path in its wake.

Other acts doing their part include Luke Combs and Eric Church, who announced their Concert for Carolina benefit show this week, which will take place on Oct. 26 at North Carolina’s Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium, where they’ll be joined by James Taylor and Billy Strings. In addition, Metallica pledged $100K to Helene relief and Dolly Parton donated $1 million of her own money to help relief efforts, as well as another $1 million through her various business entities to help affected areas.

Morgan Wallen donated $500,000 to the Red Cross‘ hurricane relief efforts through his Morgan Wallen Foundation, Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation donated $100,000 to help animals impacted by the hurricane and Sturgill Simpson announced a one-off Oct. 21 benefit show at the Koka Booth Amphitheater in Cary, N.C. with proceeds earmarked for the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund.

If you’ve noticed that since announcing their Live ’25 world reunion tour Oasis have not done a single interview, well, get used to it. According to singer Liam Gallagher, he and older brother Noel Gallagher are not interested into being baited by reporters into re-igniting the sibling rivalry that broke up the band and led to a 16-year lay-off, so they’re keeping mum.
“We don’t want to do interviews coz we’re scared of the media asking us intrusive questions and trying to pick holes in our relationship,” wrote Liam early Thursday morning (Oct. 10). When a fan cheekily responded with some Liam-boosting flattery, the “Wonderwall” vocalist was totally there for it.

“I think Noel doesn’t want to do interviews with you because you’re funnier,” the fan wrote, with Liam responding, “RESPEK.” He had a cheekier response to another X user to asked about a potential joint interview. “Can’t be arsed,” Liam explained, adding “we’re not doing any” and “they ain’t getting 1” as fans persisted with the same line of questioning.

Liam’s cheeky X persona has been wholly in evidence since the brothers reunited, including last month when a fan asked if he was going to stop “tweeting s–t about Noel” now that they’ve made up. “Nope it’s all done, peace has prevailed, he’s the man,” Liam wrote. “I can’t wait to be on stage with him blowing him kisses in between each song.”

Oasis, who split in 2009, recently expanded their 2025 reunion tour, announcing two stadium dates in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. “People of the land down under. You better run – you better take cover… We are coming. You are most welcome. Oasis will tour Australia in 2025!” the band announced earlier this week.

The Gallaghers will kick off the North American leg of their tour with a two-night stand at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium (Aug. 24-25), followed by a gig at Chicago’s Soldier Field on August 28. They’ll then move on to two nights at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey (August 31, Sept. 1), before winding down the U.S. run with two shows at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles (Sept. 6- 7).

The tour will kick off with a run of UK/Irish dates, beginning on July 4-5 with two shows at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, followed by a five-night stand in their hometown Manchester at Heaton Park (July 11, 12, 16, 19, 20).
