Paul McCartney Announces New Album McCartney III
Nearly 40 years after the release of McCartney II (and five decades after his solo debut), Paul McCartney announced his latest album, McCartney III. The record is out Dec. 11 on Capitol Records. McCartney hadn’t planned to release new music in 2020, but the quarantine/lockdown (or in his words, “rockdown”) changed his perspective. Here’s what he had to say about it in a statement: I was living lockdown life on my farm with my family and I would go to my studio every day. I had to do a little bit of work on some film music and that turned into the opening track and then when it was done I thought what will I do next? I had some stuff I’d worked on over the years but sometimes time would run out and it would be left half-finished so I started thinking about what I had.&nb...

Stevie Nicks Tops Hot 100 Songwriters Chart Thanks to Fleetwood Mac ‘Dreams’ Resurgence
“Dreams” has surged thanks to the viral TikTok video featuring the song, in which Idahoan Nathan Apodaca rides his longboard while drinking a large bottle of Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice.
