The past 24 hours in music have delivered a packed slate of releases, industry shifts, and headline-making moments across genres. According to Daily Music Headlines, the 2026 Grammy nominations are out with Kendrick Lamar leading all artists, notching nine nominations and positioning himself as a dominant force this award season. The industry saw a notable development with Luminate partnering with Tencent Music, which will for the first time fold China’s streaming and sales data into the global charts, a move expected to reshape Billboard’s accuracy and further expand international representation.

Classic rock fans woke up to the news that Journey announced their final run, the “Final Frontier Tour,” set to embark next February with 60 North American dates to commemorate five decades of iconic performances. Meanwhile, on a less celebratory note, Morrissey has canceled all his remaining 2025 shows across Latin America and Europe, attributing the move to extreme exhaustion, with refunds being offered to ticket holders.

There’s controversy stirring in the world of holiday music as Mariah Carey’s new Sephora Christmas ad has triggered backlash. In the spot, Carey rescues the holiday from striking elves led by Billy Eichner, but critics have slammed the campaign as tone-deaf amidst the current economy, resulting in boycott calls and viral commentary. Lionsgate, meanwhile, clarified that Antoine Fuqua’s much-anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, titled “Michael,” is still set to be a single film rather than the rumored two-parter, and stays on track for release this coming February.

For listeners looking for the week’s freshest sounds, several major new tracks dropped. Rosalía teams up with Yahritza y su Esencia for the genre-blending “La Perla,” Kehlani returns with “Out the Window,” and Quavo, Yeat, and BYNX collaborate on the energetic “New Trip.” Also dropping today are Sam Gellaitry’s atmospheric “On and On” and Katy Perry’s “Bandaids,” the latter following a string of teases and signaling her ongoing pop evolution. Gwen Stefani is getting festive with her new Amazon Music Original “Shake the Snow Globe,” with a deluxe edition of her holiday album due soon and more new music coming from Kylie Minogue, Marc Anthony, and Mariah the Scientist as part of Amazon’s seasonal Originals rollout.

Elsewhere, Live Nation continues to break records, posting an $8.5 billion Q3 revenue and surging ticket demand into 2026, as reported by Music Business Worldwide. In the background, industry drama simmers: Alan Niven, former Guns N’ Roses manager, has filed suit against the band over his blocked memoir, while Calvin Harris confirms a two-year Las Vegas residency at Wynn clubs starting in 2026.
