Most notably, the Beatles are capturing attention with the reissue of their Anthology set, including an expanded documentary, book, and the new Anthology 4 disc featuring never-before-heard material, as reported by Ultimate Classic Rock and AOL.com. Classic rock stays in the spotlight, with Aerosmith teaming up with punk star Yungblud for their first new music in over a decade—a five-song EP born from their recent MTV VMAs tribute performance for Ozzy Osbourne. Cheap Trick returns with their 21st studio album, All Washed Up, and are rounding out their touring schedule with anticipated farewell shows in Japan.

Industry trends present significant talking points, particularly the historic dip for rap on the Billboard Hot 100. For the first time in 35 years, no rap song appeared in the top 40, as noted by Barrett Media, though Megan Thee Stallion’s Lover Girl has just debuted at #38, signaling hope for a rebound. Market share for rap has declined from 30% in 2020 to 24% this year, leaving radio programmers wary about the genre’s next wave and future dominance.

EMPIRE Publishing is expanding into Africa, with Vinny Kumar newly promoted to President, strengthening global reach per Music Business Worldwide. Crypto and music are converging, with BeatFarm and RAMM announcing a strategic, fan-powered music economy partnership on Bitcoin, as covered by Business Insider. In the world of legacy artists, Forbes unveiled Michael Jackson as 2025’s highest-earning deceased musician, continuing his unprecedented reign.

Fans are also reflecting on somber milestones, including the anniversary of Johnny Horton’s tragic death in 1960, a reminder of country music’s enduring narrative. On the global front, the passing of Jon Milavec, a beloved Athens music scene figure, has prompted tributes across the community.
