It’s been two years since Glass Animals introduced the world to “Heat Waves,” and the hit’s flame keeps on burning.

The song, off the group’s 2020 album, Dreamland, hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s Pop Airplay chart (dated Jan. 29). “Heat Waves” entered the Pop Airplay chart dated Feb. 20, 2021, and the 11-month, one-week span between its debut and its reign marks the longest for a No. 1 in the chart’s nearly 30-year history.

(Last night, all I think about is you)
(Don’t stop, baby, you can walk through)
(Don’t want, baby, think about you)
(You know that I’m never gonna lose)

Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I’m swimming in a mirror

Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I’m swimming in a

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can’t make you happier now

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can’t make you happier now

Usually I put
Something on TV
So we never think
About you and me

But today I see
Our reflections
Clearly in Hollywood
Laying on the screen

You just need a better life than this
You need something I can never give
Fake water all across the road
It’s gone now the night has come but

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can’t make you happier now

You can’t fight it
You can’t breathe
You say something so loving but
Now I’ve got to let you go
You’ll be better off in someone new
I don’t wanna be alone
You know it hurts me too

You look so broken when you cry
One more and then I’ll say goodbye

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can’t make you happier now

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can’t make you happier now

I just wonder what you’re dreaming of
When you sleep and smile so comfortable
I just wish that I could give you that
That look that’s perfectly un-sad

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Heat waves been faking me out

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can’t make you happier now

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can’t make you happier now

Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I’m swimming in a mirror

Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I’m swimming in a mirror

Travis Scott fans are rallying behind the rapper, demanding he performs at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2023.

Scott fan James Connors launched the Change.org petition, which is asking for the festival to have the rapper headline the 2023 edition of the festival, or alternatively, allow Kanye West to bring him out as a guest when he takes the stage this year.

“After Coachella unfairly removed Travis Scott for Harry Styles, they need to do the right thing and rebook him immediately,” the petition description reads. At the time of publication, the signature has more than 70,000 signatures, just shy of their 75,000 goal.

In December, Scott was removed from the Coachella lineup after another Change.org petition demanded the removal of the rapper from the festival’s list of performers after 10 people died and many more were injured at his Astroworld Festival in Houston on Nov. 5. The petition urged Goldenvoice, AEG and festival co-founder Paul Tollett to drop Scott, claiming that the rapper displayed “gross negligence and sheer lack of compassion for human life.”

Scott, Rage Against the Machine and Frank Ocean were all announced as the 2020 Coachella headliners, before the festival was cancelled due to COVID-19 for two years in a row. In August 2021, it was revealed that Frank Ocean would instead perform at the festival in 2023, according to an interview with Tollett.

In January, it was announced that Styles and Billie Eilish would join Ye as the 2022 headliners. Coachella is scheduled to take place April 15-17 and 22-24, 2022, at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, Calif.

Jazz pianist, session musician and bandleader Bobbe Long “Beegie” Adair, who played on over 100 records throughout her six-decade career, has died. She was 84.

Her manager, Monica Ramey, said Adair died Sunday in Franklin, Tenn. A cause of death was not immediately released.

Adair, raised in Cave City, Ky., began playing at age 5, attended college in Kentucky, and then moved to Nashville to work in the city’s music scene in the 1960s. She worked as a musician on Johnny Cash’s TV show and Ralph Emery’s TV show, as well as on albums by Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Chet Atkins and many more.

She started her own commercial jingle company with her husband and started recording with her own bands. She released 35 albums with her trio of bassist Roger Spencer and drummer Chris Brown. Her trio would regularly perform at venues like Carnegie Hall and Birdland Jazz Club.

She was vital in building Nashville’s jazz music scene as a founding board member of the Nashville Jazz Workshop, where she used to teach and hold performances.

4AD U.S. label manager Nabil Ayers will succeed Matt Harmon as president of Beggars Group’s U.S. operations, the label group announced Tuesday (Jan. 25). Harmon, who has been with Beggars for 24 years, is exiting the company to pursue other opportunities.

The label consortium has also promoted Claire Taylor to the role of general manager.

Ayers has served as U.S. label manager for Beggars Group subsidiary 4AD since 2009. In his absence, Simon Halliday will continue leading 4AD in his role as worldwide managing director.

“We are very grateful to Matt for his contributions over two decades which have brought us such success, but equally excited about Nabil and Claire’s elevations, as we look forward to an even brighter future,” said Beggars Group chairman Martin Mills in a statement.

Ayers is the former co-owner of Seattle’s Sonic Boom Records. As a drummer, he’s performed in bands including The Long Winters and Tommy Stinson. He also has his own record label, The Control Group/Valley of Search, and has written about race and music for outlets including The New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and GQ. His memoir, My Life in the Sunshine, will be published on June 7, 2022 by Viking/Penguin.

“My 13 years at 4AD have prepared me well for a move down the hall, and I am proud to work for a company whose roster and staff are growing more exciting and diverse with each passing year,” said Ayers. “I can’t wait to work more closely with the amazing staff and artists at Matador Records, Rough Trade, XL Recordings, Young, and the 40+ years of Beggars catalog while continuing to work closely with my 4AD family.”

Taylor, who has been with Beggars since 2007, was previously head of product management at the company. “I am thrilled to be stepping into my next role at Beggars,” she said. “Getting to work across a team of such talented staff and inspiring artists is what has made me proud to be a Beggars employee since my first day on the job.”

Last year, Beggars Group – which also houses Matador Records, XL Recordings, Rough Trade and Young – boasted a U.S. market share of 0.49%, up from 0.4% in 2020 and 0.42% in 2019. The label group enjoys a larger share of the album sales market, however, regularly finishing over 2% the past three years and over 1% in most other sales categories. Beggars’ U.S. market share has risen slightly so far this year, to 0.52%. Some of its most popular acts include Big Thief (4AD), Spoon (Matador), Parquet Courts (Rough Trade), Radiohead (XL), FKA Twigs (Young), The National (4AD) and Alabama Shakes (Rough Trade).

Disney on Tuesday responded to recent harsh criticisms made by Peter Dinklage about the upcoming live-action remake of Snow White.

The Emmy-winning Game of Thrones star was a guest on Monday’s episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, where he blasted the announced film based on the 1937 animated classic.

After noting the casting of West Side Story breakout Rachel Zegler, Dinklage told Maron: “Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White — but you’re still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there. It makes no sense to me. You’re progressive in one way, but then you’re still making that f—ing backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together? What the f— are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.” Dinklage is not involved with the Disney project.

Disney attempted to set the record straight following the remarks.

“To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community. We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

Still years from release, Snow White will have cultural consultants, just like other live-action films such as Aladdin and Mulan. The film has been in development for three years; the studio has been reimagining the dwarf characters since the earliest stages.

Joining Zegler in the live-action feature are Tony Award winner Andrew Burnap and Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. Marc Webb is directing the retelling. Marc Platt, the Oscar-nominated producer who worked on the live-action rendition of The Little Mermaid for the studio, is producing.

Ready to ride? Megan Thee Stallion and Jennifer Lopez star in Coach’s “That’s My Ride” Spring 2022 campaign unveiled on Tuesday (Jan. 25).

Coach reworked its signature Horse and Carriage image to include the brand’s first-ever house logo reimagined for a new generation. Noah Beck, Wisdom Kaye and Kōki are also featured in the campaign.

The unisex collection includes hoodies, cross body bags, large and mini tote bags, backpacks, fanny packs and more in white, orange, blue and pink color palettes.

“I feel like working with Coach is just so nostalgic to me because I’ve been wearing this brand all my life,” Megan shared with People magazine. “My grandmother used to take me shopping and buy me little Coach wristlets and the little small purses – and now I’m all grown up, and I get to wear everything and have all the big purses,” she adds.

Photographed by Tyler Mitchell and captured in cities across the globe, the campaign was created in collaboration with new Coach ambassadors Dean Fujioka and Shawn Dou, TikTok star Parker Kit Hill and comedian Elsa Majimbo.

Evoking nostalgic ride scenes from music and movies, Megan and Lopez and other members of the Coach family are featured using multiple forms of transpiration. Lopez, for example, strikes a pose riding a BMX bike while Megan battles it out in bumper cars at a boardwalk amusement park. The Houston native shared a video from the campaign on her Instagram account Tuesday with the caption “Thee main attraction.”

Lopez posted a video as well, captioned,“How I’m riding this spring.”

In addition to photos, “That’s My Ride” will come to life with Horse and Carriage takeovers of New York City buses and bike stations alongside collaborations where artists reimagine the code in their own unique way.

“Joyful and optimistic, Spring 2022 celebrates our house codes through the point-of-view of a new generation,” Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers said in a statement. “It expresses what I’ve always loved about Coach, which is the way our heritage can be a platform for individual expression and bold ideas that shape the future.”

Adele introduced the world to her 30 era back in October with the plaintive ballad “Easy on Me,” and it’s been riding high on the charts for months since.

Just this week, the lead single spends its 10th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — matching the 10-week chart-topping run of her blockbuster 2015 single “Hello.”

You might think you know all the words to this one by now, but find the full lyrics below if you need a good cry.

There ain’t no gold in this river
That I’ve been washin’ my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can’t bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
Baby, let me in

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn’t get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me

There ain’t no room for things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can’t deny how hard I have tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn’t get the chance to
Feel the world around me
Had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me

I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
That probably doesn’t even show

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn’t get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
