Josh Groban Opens Up About His Deeply Moving ‘Bean Song’
“Don’t get me started on beans because we’ll be here all day,” he jokes to Billboard before sharing how the unlikely collaboration came to be. “I’ve gotten pitches for things in the commercial realm for a long time,” he shares. “So often, it feels kind of forced – you know, audiences are smart. They know when something is an obvious ‘Let’s get a celeb to fill in the blank here’ thing. So, I’ve always tried to be careful about not doing stuff that has felt phony.” He adds that, at first, he was a bit apprehensive about the idea, but then thought deeper. “I’ve loved beans my whole life and I’m pretty much a vegetarian, and I did used to get made fun of for just having beans at the barbecue,” he recalls. “I’m telling [...

Study: EDM is the Most Popular Genre to Listen to Before Bed—But Also the Worst
A new study has found that if you go to bed with music playing, you get a sound sleep. Despite that awful pun, the study offers some eye-opening data on music-related dreams. The Sleep Judge surveyed 1,063 people about their experiences with music-related dreams. 55% of respondents were men and 45% were women, and they ranged in age from 22 to 61 with an average of 36. The analysis found that EDM is the most popular genre of music to listen to late at night before bed among 14% of people.
