Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)" has broken the all-time record for the most weeks spent on Billboard's Streaming Songs chart. With 123 weeks on the chart, it surpasses PSY's "Gangnam Style."
Adele extends her top album streak of having at least one song go to #1 on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay chart. She has now tallied #1s on that chart from each of her last three albums.
On May 20, Train will be releasing their first album in 5 years. The title track, "AM Gold," was released this week as a single.
About that, frontman Pat Monahan said, "It has to start with love. Love that goes into work comes out of work. We love this song, this album, and our fans."
To promote what will be their 11th studio album, Train will launch their North American Summer tour on June 8th in Mansfield, Massachusetts. With over 35 stops, cities include Nashville, Dallas, New York City, and San Diego. It wraps on August 6th at Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Opening will be Jewel and Blues Traveler.

TL;DR:
It was 46 years ago today (February 17th, 1976) that the Eagles' first compilation, Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, was released. The album holds the historic distinction of being awarded the first platinum disc by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of one million copies.
In 2018, the Eagles overtook Michael Jackson's 1982 masterpiece Thriller for bragging rights to the best-selling album of all time, according to the RIAA. Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 has now been certified 45-times Platinum, accounting for sales and streams since its February 1976 release. It was the best-selling album of the 20th century and now in 2022, it sits at Number Four on the biggest selling albums list.
Amazingly, the Eagles' next album after the hits collection -- 1976's Hotel California -- is now the seventh best-selling album of all time, having been certified 31-times Platinum by the RIAA.
Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, went on to top the Billboard 200 album charts on March 13th, 1976 for five non-consecutive weeks. The album capped the original band's first four albums with co-founding lead guitarist Bernie Leadon, who was replaced in December 1975 by Joe Walsh.
Back in 2016, country music manager Ken Levitan explained the album's importance to Rolling Stone, saying, "A lot of younger country musicians did experience the Eagles (through Their Greatest Hits). Every household had a copy of that record. If they didn't hear it themselves, their parents were listening to it, so it became part of a fabric of their life. That record, and (Lynyrd) Skynyrd and Hank (Williams) Jr., influenced the whole range of country artists."
The tracklisting to Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) is: "Take It Easy," "Witchy Woman," "Lyin' Eyes," "Already Gone," "Desperado," "One Of These Nights," "Tequila Sunrise," "Take It To The Limit," "Peaceful Easy Feeling," and "The Best Of My Love."
The-late Glenn Frey attributed the Eagles' success to the bond he forged with Don Henley in 1971 when the pair was backing Linda Ronstadt on the road: "We were roommates together and we started talkin' about our dreams. And, y'know, we were very lucky. And then, of course, as I said, when we told Linda that, y'know, that we really wanted to have our own band, then she helped us get the guys! She's the one who said, 'You should get Bernie Leadon.' So, we brought him out to Disneyland for some shows were were doing on graduation nights (laughter) and Bernie sat in with us and we got to meet him over the course of a week, or so, and talk with him. A couple of weeks later, we replaced the bass player for a weekend in Los Altos with Randy Meisner, so that he'd come up and play with Linda and we could talk with him as well. So, it was really important."
Co-founding guitarist Bernie Leadon shed some light on the band's 1975 chart-topper, "One Of These Nights" -- which was among the last songs he recorded with before quitting the band: "Cool song. This was sort of the beginning of the fourth album and the second one that Don Felder was on. Well, the band's new producer, Bill Szymczyk, came out of R&B and had worked with B.B. King and some people. So, his drum sounds were more Philadelphia. The whole attitude was more R&B. And Henley and Frey were starting to lean more in that direction. So, 'One Of These Nights' has that sort of -- well it's not (laughs) disco exactly, but it's edging in that direction, it's edging towards disco."
1982's Eagles Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 was released on November 13th, 1982, and although it stalled on the Billboard charts at Number 52, the set has sold a whopping 11 million copies to date.
The Eagles recently packaged their two multi-platinum greatest hits collections together for the first time ever, with the set now renamed, Eagles Greatest Hits 1 & 2.
The Eagles -- featuring Glenn Frey's son Deacon Frey -- next perform on Saturday (February 19th) in Savannah, Georgia at Enmarket Arena.
Foo Fighters have just released the lyric video for "March Of The Insane" -- as featured in their upcoming movie Studio 666. The song is released under the moniker Dream Widow and billed as being "From their never released self-titled album."
Studio 666, opens on February 25th, The horror-comedy stars the band and features appearances by Lionel Richie, Whitney Cummings, Jeff Garlin, and Will Forte. Studio 666 was directed BJ McDonnell and based on an original story by Dave Grohl.
2022 is shaping up to be a major touring year for Foo Fighters. We caught up with Dave Grohl a while back and he shed light on how the band decides on its setlists from year-to-year: "You've got to change it up. To keep things interesting musically, like, that's our lifeline, y'know, and to experiment and do things we've never done before. So at this point, the show's like two-hours-long, y'know? So we go out every night and we play all the loud, old rock stuff, we play all the loud new rock stuff, we play acoustic stuff, newer acoustic stuff, we just kind of change it up a little bit."

Coming on Record Store Day -- April 23rd -- is a 40th Anniversary release of the Who's It's Hard. The double-album release includes a half speed master of the album along with rare and unreleased material, including the Roger Daltrey vocal version of "Eminence Front."
The limited edition orange and yellow vinyl features the remastered album plus a bonus disc of unreleased and rare material and comes with a poster.
The Who's It's Hard was released on September 4th, 1982 and peaked at Number Eight on the Billboard 200 -- four spots lower than 1981's Face Dances collection. In Britain, It's Hard just missed the Top 10, going so high as Number 11.
Despite Who fans regarding tracks like "Eminence Front," "Cry If You Want," and "I've Known No War" as minor masterpieces, Pete Townshend told us that he stopped writing songs for the Who after It's Hard because he felt that he could never match their greatest work: "When the Who stopped making records in 1982, I felt that I just couldn't do it anymore. I felt that what the Who had done was triumphant, huge, innovative, groundbreaking, massive, unsurpassable, and that there was no reason at all, no way that I could ever come close again."

It was 53 years ago today (February 17th, 1969) that Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash first teamed up to record an album of duets in Nashville. The sessions were widely bootlegged over the years, and are included on the shortlist of such legendary unreleased albums as the Beach Boys' long unfinished Smile, the Beatles' original version of Let It Be, and Dylan's complete set of The Basement Tapes with the Band. Finally, in 2019, the tapes were finally released as part of the collection, Bob Dylan (featuring Johnny Cash) - Travelin' Thru, 1967 - 1969: The Bootleg Series Vol. 15.
On February 17th, Cash visited Dylan at Nashville's Columbia Recording Studios while Dylan was recording his legendary Nashville Skyline album. Dylan and Cash began the joint session by running through only three songs before packing it in. The next day, Cash ran through 19 more songs in hopes of recording an album of duets.
The songs recorded included gospel and traditional, such as "Amen," "Careless Love," "You Are My Sunshine," "How High The Water," and "Just A Closer Walk With Thee," to early influences including Jimmy Rodgers' "T For Texas (Blue Yodel No. 1)", Elvis Presley's "Mystery Train" and "That's All Right Mama," and Carl Perkins' "Matchbox."
Also recorded were Cash's "I Walk The Line," "Big River," "I Still Miss Someone," and "Ring Of Fire." They also recorded Dylan's "Girl Of The North Country," the only song from the sessions to see an official release when it appeared on Dylan's Nashville Skyline album; "One Too Many Mornings"; and his then-previously unreleased "Wanted Man," which Cash recorded six nights later during his legendary Johnny Cash At San Quentin live set.
The sessions included a full-band accompaniment, featuring Charlie Daniels on lead guitar, and both Dylan and Cash on acoustic guitars, with Dylan singing harmony to Cash's baritone.
Although the Dylan-Cash album never materialized, Cash went on to contribute the liner notes to Dylan's Nashville Skyline. That same year, Dylan returned the favor by appearing on The Johnny Cash TV show and performing two numbers, "I Threw It All Away" and "Living The Blues," before duetting with Cash on "Girl From The North Country."
Although Bob Dylan has amassed a fortune over the nearly-60 years he's been a recording and performing artist, he told the BBC that money was the last thing on his mind -- when striking out as a folk singer: "I don't need money. I mean, I started out with no money. . . Don't tell. . . I don't wanna hear about money. I had less money than anybody I know, when I started out. I had no money. I mean, if you're talkin' about paper money and money in the bank, or wealth, possessions, and all that stuff -- I had nothing. It's not like I went out and got into music to make money. There wasn't any money to be made in music when I was. . . If you could just support yourself, that was, you were doing good."

BTS are returning with BTS Permission To Dance On Stage – Seoul on March 10th 12th and 13th. The concert will take place at the Seoul Olympic Stadium in front of a live audience and be streamed online.
Before the group can perform, V will have to recover from Covid-19.
He is the latest member of the group to test positive for the coronavirus. According to group's label, Big Hit Entertainment, the 26-year-old singer tested positive for the virus on Tuesday (Feb. 15th) morning after experiencing a mild sore throat.
A statement posted to Weverse read, "V completed two rounds of COVID-19 vaccinations and is not presenting any extraordinary symptoms other than a mild fever and sore throat. He is currently undergoing treatment at home while waiting for further guidelines from the health care authorities.
"There was contact with the other members on Saturday the 12th, but everyone was wearing a mask, and there was no close contact. None of the BTS members other than V are presenting any symptoms, and everyone received negative results from the preemptive self-tests."
Keith Richards will reunite with his solo band the X-Pensive Winos next month in Manhattan. Richards and the group will headline the March 10th Beacon Theatre benefit concert "Love Rocks," with tickets going on sale this Friday, February 18th at 10 a.m. ET. All proceeds benefit the God's Love We Deliver food charity.
Jambase.com posted the show will also feature Allison Russell, Larkin Poe, Tyler Bryant, David Shaw from the Revivalists, Anders Osborne, Celisse, Ivan Neville, Jimmy Vivino, and Maggie Rose and Connor Kennedy. The show will be hosted by Mario Cantone, Kiefer Sutherland, Gina Gershon, Steve Schirripa, and Michelle Buteau.
In addition to Keith Richards, the X-Pensive Winos feature drummer Steve Jordan, guitarist Waddy Wachtel, bassist Charley Drayton, and keyboardist Ivan Neville.
For Keith Richards, hitting the stage still remains a reason for being: "It's this kaleidoscopic, sort of, mayhem. You only have -- it's no two takes in that game, y'know? You're on stage, you're on, you can't stop. I think what you put it down to the incredible energy of the audience. Y'know, they overwhelmingly outnumber us, but we're the focal point."
Is Paul McCartney heading back on the road??? According to The Daily Beatle, Ticketmaster.com listed a tentative show for this May 24th at "Hard Rock Live At The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States Of America."
The event was posted with a time "TBA" with no on-sale date listed -- and the former-Beatle is not listed on the 7,000-set venue's official schedule, which includes Rod Stewart, Elton John, the Who, Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band, Van Morrison, and Sting, among others.
During a recent appearance on NBC's Today, Paul McCartney revealed that due to the sheer number of songs he's written -- the majority of which he hasn't performed in decades, if at all -- he needs to re-learn his old songs before each tour: "(Paul McCartney): I have to re-learn everything I've ever written an awful lot. So, you can't retain them all. We go into rehearsal and I learn them, y'know? 'Oh yeah -- that's how it goes' (laughs). (Al Roker): Well, sometimes when you're re-learning them, do you kind of look and go, 'Y'know, this is pretty good'? (McCartney): I do. I really do. Y'know, that's one of the joys of doing some of the old songs, I say, 'Oh, that's clever. I wouldn't have done that.'"
Over 55 years since the Beatles' final tour, Paul McCartney, explained that touring today is a world away from how the "Fab Four" performed in the 1960's: "The beginning of the Beatles' whole thing, before it really all took off; we used to put to guitars and a bass into one amp. So, I mean, there's a major difference now -- no one would think of doing that now. You didn't take P.A.'s around, you'd just use the microphone in the hall. A couple of little speakers along the side. So, the technology has just gone mad, y'know? It's good, it means you can go play big places. It means you can play to an audience of 100,000, or something. Whereas we took ‘round, like, one roadie -- now, you take around 140 people, y'know it's (exaggerated voice) it's quite a business, now."
Elvis Costello & The Imposters have rolled out a 15-city North American summer run with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets serving as the opening act for most of the gigs. Nicole Atkins will do the honors on two early stops on the tour, which kicks off on August 6th in Huber Heights, Ohio at Rose Music Center at The Height and runs through September 3rd when the trek winds down in Las Vegas at the Theater at Virgin Hotels.
Variety reported longtime Bob Dylan guitarist Charlie Sexton will once again be playing as part of the Imposters. Sexton was first enlisted by Costello when keyboardist Stevie Nieve was unable to make some shows last time out after contracting Covid. Tickets go on sale this Friday (February 18th) at 10 a.m. local time, with more ticketing information available at elviscostello.com.
Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe go back nearly 50 years, with Lowe producing such Costello classics as My Aim Is True (1977), This Year's Model (1978), Armed Forces (1979), Get Happy!! (1980), Trust (1981), Blood & Chocolate (1986), and Brutal Youth (1994).
Not too long ago, Elvis Costello told us how he cones about creating his nightly setlists: "We're playing just everything I feel like playing. There's a pretty broad scope to things -- some nights we play a lot of very well-known songs, some nights we don't play any, because that's the mood that I'm in, and I feel that's what we need to do."
We asked Nick Lowe -- a man often regarded as a "songwriter's songwriter" -- if when he's stumbled upon a melody, it stays with him until it can be crafted into a song: "That is pretty much how it is, yes. Occasionally I'll regret not having a little Dictaphone, or something I could've hummed something into -- because it will not come back, and I know that something's been good. But in general, if you get a germ of an idea, it will come back."

Fans greeted Selena Gomez by serenading her with "Who Says" while she was filming Season 2 of Only Murders In The Building.
A video posted to the Twitter account @ViralFinds on Tuesday (Feb. 15th) showed the singer being escorted to a waiting car while fans sang to her.
She could be seen stopping and turning to wave when she heard the crowd's version of her 2011 hit.
Olivia Rodrigo has reportedly signed with a new management team.
Sources told Billboard that the "Drivers License" singer is now repped by Lighthouse Management + Media's Aleen Keshishian and Zack Morgenroth for management in all areas. The firm currently represents talent like Jennifer Aniston, Selena Gomez, Jason Bateman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Rudd, and Miranda Kerr.
Rodrigo split with her longtime manager Kristen Smith of Camp Far West Management in January.
A new box set featuring sections from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' 20-night 1997 run at San Francisco's The Fillmore is being prepped for release. Guitarist Mike Campbell revealed to Ultimate Classic Rock, "It's been mixed (and) I hear it is coming out. I'm really proud of it. It was one of the greatest parts of our career. We were free to not have to play the hits every night. We changed the set list."
The shows from January and February 1997 have become legendary, with each night featuring a different setlist allowing Petty and the band to delve into their back catalogue and flex their muscles on old favorites and cover versions. The final night of the run -- February 7th, 1997 -- was broadcast live and proved to be the longest show of the stand, clocking in at a whopping three hours with the Heartbreakers tackling 40 songs.
No title or release date for the new collection has been announced.
Tom Petty never took for granted the fact that he had a fan base that was willing to part with their money for his albums and shows -- and pretty much follow him and the Heartbreakers with whatever twists and turns they made: "It's my audience that's made me survive, honestly. Actually, it's the people (laughs) that we play to and that buy the records that have made us, a sort of, contradiction. Because, God knows, I mean, we've done the least -- I mean, the bare minimum of promotion in our life (laughs)."
Coachella has dropped all Covid-19 precautions.

The two were wed on July 3rd, 2021, at Shelton's Tishomingo ranch in Oklahoma.
Famed record producer and music mogul Rick Rubin has announced his first book due out in early 2023. The Guardian reported the tome by the Def Jam Records co-founder, titled, The Creative Act: A Way Of Being, will not be traditional a memoir, but a "a non-fiction work about creativity." Rubin explained in a statement, "I set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art. Instead, it revealed itself to be a book on how to be."
Over the course of his career, Rick Rubin has produced such legendary artists as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Slayer, Public Enemy, the Cult, Danzig, the Black Crows, Mick Jagger, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Limp Bizkit, Weezer, Slipknot, Dixie Chicks, Audioslave, Shakira, Poison, Neil Diamond, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Donovan, Metallica, and Johnny Cash, among many, many more.
Rick Rubin is behind the boards once again for Red Hot Chili Peppers' latest album, Unlimited Love, which drops on April 1st. Drummer Chad Smith told us the band has always relied on Rubin for his vision and enthusiam: "I know Rick is great when it comes to helping us with our songs. He always has been. He's our guy, we trust him. It's whether or not, y'know, you want to try somebody new to see what that does, but we know what Rick brings to the table and we like it and it's been, y'know, he really, really helps us. We're comfortable with him, obviously."
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Julian Frampton, son of the legendary rocker Peter Frampton, has taken a break from his own Julian Frampton Band to produce a new track for his fiancee, who records under the name Annie Of The Canyon.

Foo Fighters have just added 10 news stops to its North American itinerary. The dates include nine Canadian shows and one U.S. date, which will serve as the tour's finale on October 7th at Bend, Oregon's Hayden Homes Amphitheater. The Foos have a couple of pre-tour concerts booked before launching the trek in May, and will next play on February 26th in Tempe, Arizona at Innings Festival.
The newly-inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have snagged three nominations at the 2021 Grammys, with Medicine At Midnight making the shortlist for Best Rock Album, "Waiting On A War" for Best Rock Song, and "Making A Fire" for Best Rock Performance. The 64th Annual Grammy Awards air on April 3rd at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
The Foo Fighters' first movie, Studio 666, opens on February 25th, The horror-comedy stars the band and features appearances by Lionel Richie, Whitney Cummings, Jeff Garlin, and Will Forte. Studio 666 was directed BJ McDonnell and based on an original story by Dave Grohl.
Longtime Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel told us a while back what he thinks has been a key to the Foos' longevity: "Well, one of the things, I think, that's made the band work so well is how we kind of structured it in the beginning and the opportunity we had, because Dave had been in Nirvana, to do things the way we wanted to do it. We didn't have the pressure that a lot of bands do of having to write the hit song. I mean, thankfully Dave's a good songwriter and able to write catchy songs, but we don't have that pressure where you have somebody breathing over your shoulder, and I think that really is something that destroys a lot of bands."

Miley Cyrus admitted to fans this weekend that she's "scared" to be back on stage again after more than a year of limited touring due to Covid-19.
Billboard reports that the star told the crowd at the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Festival, "Standing up here right now, it doesn't feel the same as if you would have come to see me three or four years ago. I'm just finding my feet along this platform again."
She added, "I know that all of us are going through that same experience, just trying to integrate back into a reality that was moving so fast, so naturally. And now, something that should just be like breathing is suddenly difficult and anxiety-inducing and scary.
"I just want you to know that even though I'm up here with all of you, I'm just as scared as everybody else about where the world is going and what the future holds. But the good news is, we're not alone. We're all in this together."
Cyrus performed a full setlist of songs event, including the live debut of her song, "Never Be Me," off her 2020 album, Plastic Hearts.
Dr. Dre has opened up about his Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent and Eminem. In an interview with TMZ, when asked if the NFL intervened on any parts of the performance and he said that the NFL made "minor" adjustments. He explained, "Em taking the knee, that was Em doing that on his own, and there was no problem with that."
Dre added that there was an adjustment with the opening line from Kendrick's song, "m.A.A.d city," where he says, "If Pirus and Crips all got along." He explained, "They had a problem with that, so we had to take that out. No big deal, we get it. But, all in all, everybody came in, we were professional, everybody was on time. Everybody felt the magnitude of what this thing was, and what we were going to be able to accomplish. It was a fantastic experience."
Dr. Dre said that Don Cheadle and Mary J. Blige came back to his house after the Superbowl. Mary played Dre a few songs and revealed that they been talking about working together on her next project.
Ed Sheeran will be dropping his collaboration with Bring Me the Horizon on Friday (Feb. 18th).

The post included a videotaped conversation with Sheeran in which he says, "It's just a joy to be able to play electric guitar and actually rock out properly."
