He continued arguing past 2 a.m. that people attending such large gatherings during the ongoing pandemic “deserve whats coming to them” if they fail to socially distance themselves and wear face masks, while making a snide remark about the Black Lives Matter protests over the summer. “Proof that I stormed Congress. yeah I don’t see it,” he replied to one user’s comments about his sighting. “Are u suggesting the congress building has a bed and breakfast we somehow got access to.” Pink joked about being “canceled” on his own Twitter account and drew comparisons to a panopticon, a circular prison where the cells are conveniently arranged for a centrally positioned guard to surveil every prisoner. “Welcome to the panoptigan...

Zayn Shares Cryptic Tease of New Music: Listen
Zayn is coming. On Thursday (Jan. 7), the singer took to social media to share a mysterious teaser of a big announcement. The brief 12-second clip features an empty theater with the word “TOMORROW” emblazoned across the closed red curtain in all caps. Haunting music plays as the curtain slowly begins to rise, with twinkling flourishes of piano in the background revealing the very bottom of what could be a theater set. However, before anyone can get too close a glimpse, the scene cuts to black. Whatever Zayn has up his tattooed sleeve, it will serve as a follow-up to his 2020 single “Better,” which he released back in September. The former One Direction-er’s last album — the 27-track double LP Icarus Falls — dropped in Dec. 2018, but the singer has ...

Roblox Raises $520M From Warner Music Group and Others

BTS Covered X Ambassadors For a New Ad and We Need the Full Version ASAP
BTS unveiled their cover of X Ambassadors‘ “Jungle” in a new Coca-Cola commercial on Monday (Jan. 4) in Indonesia. In the ad, the boy band’s version of the song plays over bottles of the fizzy drink being manufactured in a hip, music-driven Coca-Cola factory before being delivered around the world in the brand’s trademark red trucks. “I lost my mind, in the city of lights/ In the backstreets, buildings and the neon lights/ When I heard the thunder, I could feel the rain/ It’s the same to me, just a different name/ Won’t you follow me into the jungle/ Ain’t no god on my streets in the heart of the jungle,” the K-pop idols croon, transforming the rock trio’s foot-stomping 2015 hit with Jamie N Commons into a skittering, glitch...
