Rubén ‘Pelo’ Aprile, Legendary Argentine Producer, Dies at 71
In the late 1980s, Aprile sold the Interdisc catalog to PolyGram Argentina, where he eventually worked. In 2000, he launched his own label and publisher, Pelo Music, where he released Argentine artists like Miranda!, Babasónicos, Pablo Lescano and Marilina Bertoldi. On social media, dozens of artists and executives remembered a man who took risks and was larger than life. “There are no words. I think I was convinced that Pelo was immortal,” Bertoldi tweeted. Singer/songwriter and producer Alejandro Lerner remembered him as “the only producer who wanted to discover artists, not invent them. He took your dreams and multiplied them.” “One of my great godfathers and mentors,” producer Toy Selectah posted. “Saddened you won’t be here to give us your advice again.

Chrissy Teigen Exits Netflix’s ‘Never Have I Ever’ After Courtney Stodden Bullying Controversy
Teigen apologized to Courtney Stodden in early May after being accused of bullying them a decade ago, including telling Stodden to take their own life. Stodden had recently called out multiple celebrities, including Teigen as well as Joy Behar and Courtney Love, in an interview with the Daily Beast for harassing them on and off social media when they were a teenager. Stodden garnered fame alongside criticism in 2011 for marrying 50-year-old acting coach and The Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison when they were 16 years old. The couple divorced in 2020. “She wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself. Things like, ‘I can’t wait for you to die,’” Stodden alleged of Teigen. Teigen addressed the tweets and publicly apolo...
First Spin: The Week’s Best New Dance Tracks From Calvin Harris, Tokimonsta & VanJess, & More
Who here remembers 2012 to 2014? You know, when everyone from the Black Eyed Peas to Rihanna was making feel-good, dance-pop slammers for the summer? Everything was super shimmery, the beats were steady four-four rhythms and all the lyrics were about “tonight” and “this love.” Calvin Harris was the undisputed king of that era, and while he’s spent the past half-decade flexing his creative muscles, taking on everything from funk to ‘90s house, he must currently be feeling nostalgic. Indeed, Harris’ latest single “By Your Side” is an instant throwback to simpler times. It sounds like fruity cocktails enjoyed poolside, each sip numbing your brain until you forget that you’ve ever heard the terms “pandemic” or “fake news.” The sunshine single features vocals from Tom Grennan, who dance fans ma...

Taylor Swift’s ‘Evermore’ Breaks Modern-Era Record for Biggest Vinyl Album Sales Week
Evermore’s record-breaking vinyl sales add to the great music-on-vinyl comeback story for the once-dormant format. 2020 marked the single-largest year for U.S. vinyl album sales in MRC Data history (27.54 million copies) and the 15th consecutive year of growth for vinyl (up 46.2%). Further, vinyl LPs accounted for 27% of all albums sold in 2020. Vinyl albums were once the dominant format for album purchases in the U.S., up until the early 1980s. After that, cassettes took hold until the early 1990s, when the CD format flourished and became the leading format for album sales. Evermore, again, was initially issued to streaming services and as a commercial digital album on Dec. 11, 2020, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album’s CD, cassette and vinyl editions followe...
