The first teaser for Janet Jackson’s upcoming documentary, JANET, is here.

Jackson posted a one-minute trailer for JANET on social media Monday (Sept. 6).

“Hey u guys. Excited to share the first teaser of my new documentary with u,” she wrote.

In the clip for the two-night, four-hour documentary that’s set to air on A&E and Lifetime in January 2022, Jackson says: “This is my story, told by me, not through someone else’s eyes.”

“This is the truth — take it or leave it. Love it or hate it. This is me,” she adds.

It was previously announced that JANET would include exclusive archival footage, home videos and celebrity interviews.

Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, Paula Abdul and more make brief appearances in the trailer, which promises that the doc will feature unseen personal footage.

Ben Hirsh directed JANET, with Workerbee producing for Lifetime and A&E and Associated Entertainment Corporation co-producing. Janet Jackson and Randy Jackson are executive producers on the project, while Rick Murray is credited as the executive producer for Workerbee and Brie Miranda Bryant is serving as executive producer for A+E Networks.

Hundreds of people gathered Monday (Sept. 6) outside Athens Cathedral to pay their final respects to Greek composer and politician Mikis Theodorakis, who is to lie in state in a chapel for three days ahead of his burial on the southern island of Crete.

Theodorakis’ body arrived at a chapel with a nearly two-hour delay amid a dispute over burial details. About 500 people, some holding flowers, came to honor a composer who was an integral part of the Greek political and musical scene for decades.

A dispute over where he will be buried appeared to be resolved over the weekend. His family reportedly lifted objections to him being buried on Crete in accordance with his last wishes.

A court had temporarily halted burial plans pending resolution of the dispute. Greece’s national broadcaster said a final decision on details of the burial is expected Tuesday morning.

Theodorakis died on Sept. 2 at 96. His daughter had said he would be buried near Corinth in the village of Vrahati, where he maintained a holiday home.

But a letter Theodorakis had written to the mayor of the town of Chania in Crete in 2013 was made public, in which the composer said he wanted to be buried in the nearby cemetery of Galatas, despite his family’s disagreement.

Theodorakis was as well-known in Greece for his political activism as for his musical career. He penned a wide range of work, from somber symphonies to popular television and film scores, including for Serpico and Zorba the Greek.

He is also remembered for his opposition to the military junta that ruled Greece from 1967-1974, a time during which he was persecuted and jailed, and his music outlawed.

Greece’s Communist Party said over the weekend that Theodorakis’ body will lie in state beginning Monday, and a “farewell ceremony” will be held Wednesday, before the late composer is flown to Crete. The church service and burial will be on Thursday.

Theodorakis had a tumultuous relationship with the Communist Party, known by its Greek acronym KKE, leaving it in the late 1960s, rejoining in the late 1970s and getting elected as a lawmaker with the conservative New Democracy party in 1990.

But he wrote a letter in October to Communist Party Secretary-General Dimitris Koutsoumbas, essentially entrusting him with the funeral arrangements.

“Now, at the end of my life, at the time of taking stock, details are erased from my mind and the ‘Big Things’ remain. So, I see that I spent my most crucial, forceful and mature years under KKE’s banner. For this reason, I want to depart this world as a communist,” Theodorakis wrote.

Kanye West is crowned on the U.K. albums chart as Donda (Def Jam) debuts at No. 1.

Following its digital-only release on Aug. 29, Donda snags 20,000 chart sales, with 91% of the total from streaming equivalent sales, and the remainder from downloads, according to the OCC.

Donda racked up 33.4 million streams across its 27 tracks, the charts compiler reports, for Kanye’s third U.K. No. 1, following Graduation (2007) and Yeezus (2013). Three tracks from it enter the Official U.K. Singles Chart, led by “Hurricane,” the week’s hottest debut at No. 7.

Also new to the Official U.K. Albums Chart is Maisie Peters’s debut album You Signed Up For This (Gingerbread Man), which starts at No. 2, while Scottish synth-pop outfit Chvrches bow at No. 4 with Screen Violence (Virgin), their fourth studio effort.

Halsey completes the Top 5 with If I Can’t Have Love I Want Power (EMI), her fourth LP. It’s the U.K.’s best-selling album on vinyl in the latest cycle.

British singer and songwriter Becky Hill enjoys a Top 10 start with her debut Only Honest At The Weekend (Polydor), new No. 7, while KSI’s All Over The Place (BMG) vaults 20-10 following the release of a deluxe edition.

With ABBA making a much-hyped comeback, fans of the Swedish pop legends are digging for Gold. ABBA’s Greatest Hits (Polydor) lifts 14-12 following news of their new album Voyage and virtual concert, and the release of two new songs.

ABBA’s Greatest Hits is the first album to log 1,000 weeks on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. Its impressive tally now stands at 1,009 weeks.

Over on the national singles survey, Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” (Asylum) enters a 10th week at the top. “Bad Habits” leads an unchanged top four, as Lil Nas X’s “Industry Baby” (Lil Nas X) rebounds 7-5 following the announcement of his debut album, Montero.

Camila Cabello and her Cinderella co-stars took their show to the middle of the road, in the middle of rush hour, for James Corden’s “Crosswalk” musical series.

Cabello, along with Idina Menzel, Billy Porter and Corden himself performed several numbers — in front of a slightly confused audience of drivers — from their new Amazon original film that premiered on Friday (Sept. 3).

‘Live theatre — I’ve never done that before in my life,” Cabello exclaims after running out of the way of incoming traffic in the clip that was uploaded to Corden’s YouTube.

“I can’t believe it,” she says following the cast’s first live number. “That was such a rush. And not dangerous at all. I wasn’t scared. Oh my god, there’s gonna be three more songs.”

In the film itself, an updated version of the classic fairy tale filled with modern pop music, Cabello portrays Ella, an ambitious young lady who hopes to one day become a successful businesswoman.

“It feels amazing,” the singer (and now actress) told Billboard at the Miami premiere earlier this week. “I’m so proud to be Latina and I’m so proud of my culture. I would’ve been so excited to see a Latina princess when I was growing up, and the fact that I can be that right now and that representation is possible right now, is amazing.”

Watch Corden’s “Crosswalk the Musical: Cinderella” below to see how the group’s unannounced road show worked out.

The results are in, and in a week of big music releases, ABBA’s return has topped this week’s fan-voted new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll that was published Friday (Sept. 3) on Billboard, choosing the legendary pop group’s two new singles “I Still Have Faith in You” and “Don’t Shut Me Down” as their favorite new music release of the past week.

“You’ve waited 40 years for a new ABBA song and now there are two!” ABBA’s social media accounts declared on Thursday (Sept. 2) upon the unveiling of the pair of songs that will be included on their new album Voyage, which is set for a Nov. 5 release.

ABBA’s new tunes brought in 33.26% of the vote, narrowly inching ahead of Lady Gaga’s Dawn of Chromatica remix album, which had 32.81% of the vote.

The ABBA tracks beat out both Kanye West and Drake’s new albums — which placed in third and fourth place, respectively — in this week’s readers poll. (Elsewhere, Kanye’s Donda just debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.)
