Grammys

The Grammys have announced some rule updates:

As part of the Grammys’ annual process of accepting proposals from the music creators and professionals who make up its membership body, and its ongoing commitment to reflecting today’s dynamic musical landscape, new Categories and rule changes are now in effect for the 69th Grammy Awards, which culminate with the 2027 Grammys live across ABC, Disney+ and Hulu on Feb. 7, 2027.

Bose Launches Record Label

Bose have launched an in-house record label.

One key differentiator is the launch of a new record label, Bose Records. Bose CMO Jim Mollica said in an interview that the plan isn’t to go toe-to-toe with the “Big Three” label conglomerates, but rather to help break underappreciated or new artists and — crucially — not have to pay for music rights when they feature in Bose commercials. (Mollica said Bose wouldn’t look to own the artists’ masters, the company wouldn’t take a share of their record sales or streams, and that they would be free to sign with other labels.)

Taylor Swift Nabs Another Number One

Variety:

Taylor Swift‘s run as a true action figure on the charts continues as her “Toy Story 5” song “I Knew It, I Knew You” was announced Monday as debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It’s only the third time a theme song from an animated Disney film has reached the summit, following “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin” in 1993 and, of course, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from “Encanto” in 2022.
