What’s Streaming on HBO Max in December 2020
HBO Max is bringing home a blockbuster for the holidays. Unless you’ve been floating among the wreckage of Krypton, you probably already know that the streaming service is premiering the highly anticipated Wonder Woman 1984 on Christmas. So, be sure to clear your schedule during the holiday. Right behind the great goddess is a real-life one in Meryl Streep, whose latest feature Let Them All Talk arrives on December 10th. Veteran filmmaker Steven Soderbergh helms the picture that also stars Candice Bergen, Dianne Wiest, and Lucas Hedges. Other exclusive originals this month include Christmas specials involving Euphoria and Carrie Underwood. The latter sees the country star performing traditional favorites and new original material from her first Christmas album. Editors’ Picks In...
Pete Tong’s “O Come All Ye Ravers” Holiday Show to Be Livestreamed Around the World
Pete Tong‘s annual Ibiza Classics holiday performance will look a bit different this year due to the global COVID-19 crisis. Tong, Jules Buckley, the Heritage Orchestra, and thousands of fans usually convene in London’s O2 Arena for a live orchestral performance of dance music classics, but this year’s event will be livestreamed around the world due to the impact of the virus. The virtual concert will mark the first live event in the venue since it was shut down back in March. The Christmas show will be called “O Come All Ye Ravers” and will still take place in the same arena, albeit without a crowd. On YouTube, Tong shared a trailer announcing the event and highlighted the importance of music during uncertain times like these. “...
BMG Acquires Catalog of Cheyenne Records, Including Songs by Germany’s No Angels
“The catalogue of Cheyenne Records is among the crown jewels of German pop music of the 2000s, and we are delighted to bring them back to the public,” Maximilian Kolb, BMG managing director GSA, said in a statement. “The acquisition shows BMG’s commitment to delivering the best service to artists and songwriters in the digital world.” BMG says the deal will bring back streaming availability to No Angels, which has been absent from digital streaming platforms for five years. The company notes the group had sales of more than five million, making it the biggest-selling German girl band of all time. No Angels’ 2002 debut single, “Daylight In Your Eyes,” sold more than 500,000 copies within a week after its release, according to BMG. Other hits that will now be available on digital platf...
Radiohead, Elbow Members Call for Better Streaming Royalties at Opening of UK Parliament Probe
Garvey and Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien were among a group of four artists and two industry analysts that provided evidence on the first day of the inquiry, which is anticipated to stretch for several months and will call upon executives at major labels and streaming platforms to answer questions. The Parliament probe — which so far is being done with witnesses testifying virtually, as the U.K. is in lockdown — is also addressing a lack of transparency in record contracts and opaque accounting practices, safe harbor provisions and the European Copyright Directive, which will hold online user-generated services like YouTube liable for unlicensed content. The inquiry comes at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has decimated income from touring, focusing artists’ attenti...
What’s Streaming on Netflix in December 2020
Netflix is unwrapping some big gifts in December 2020. The shiniest box under the proverbial tree is David Fincher’s Mank. The filmmaker’s first feature in six years stars Oscar winner Gary Oldman as legendary Hollywood screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz and the drama that surrounded his work on Citizen Kane. Another star-studded feature is Ryan Murphy’s The Prom, a fish-out-of-water comedy that finds Meryl Streep, James Corden, Nicole Kidman, and Keegan-Michael Key putting on a Broadway production in a small town. That should keep the family business. Elsewhere, there’s the highly anticipated Selena: The Series, the fourth season of Big Mouth, the fourth and final season of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and the de facto seasonal docuseries The Holiday Movies That Made Us.
