Vince Guaraldi’s soundtrack to It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown returns to Billboard’s Kid Albums chart for the Halloween season, as it re-enters at No. 4 on the list dated Sept. 13.

The surge back onto the list (its first appearance since November 2024) is powered mostly by sales of a new Target-exclusive edition of the album, a “ghost white pumpkin-shaped vinyl” variant.

The Kid Albums chart ranks the week’s most popular kid albums in the United States, according to Luminate. The latest chart reflects the tracking week ending Sept. 4.

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is the companion album to the 1966 Emmy Award-nominated animated TV special of the same name. The special first aired on broadcast TV on CBS, before migrating to ABC, and eventually to the paid streaming service Apple TV+. The latter has previously aired the program for free for non-subscribers for a limited time during the spooky season; Apple has yet to announce information about a free streaming window for Pumpkin in 2025.

The Pumpkin soundtrack has spent at least one week at No. 1 on the Kid Albums chart every year from 2021 through 2024, for a total of six nonconsecutive weeks on top.

Pumpkin is one of four soundtracks to Peanuts TV specials and films to hit No. 1 on the Kid Albums chart through the years, standing alongside A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Boy Named Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

The Pumpkin soundtrack also populates further Billboard rankings this week: Jazz Albums (rising 18-6), Traditional Jazz Albums (14-5), Soundtracks (No. 5 re-entry), Vinyl Albums (No. 13 re-entry) and Top Album Sales (No. 28 re-entry).

AEG Presents has announced a major new festival is set to join the U.K.’s festival scene in summer 2026.

American Express Presents Roundhay Festival will take place from next year at Roundhay Park in Leeds, England, with the first headlining artist set to be announced imminently. The dates of the festival have not been confirmed at this time.

The festival will join AEG Presents’ existing footprint on the scene alongside BST Hyde Park and All Points East, both of which take place in London. Headliners at this year’s BST Hyde Park include Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young and Stevie Wonder, while RAYE and Chase & Status were among the headliners at All Points East.

Roundhay Park is one of Europe’s largest city parks and spans over 700 acres of woodlands, lakes and fields in the north-east of the city. The venue has form for hosting large-scale music events with shows over the years by The Rolling Stones (1982), Genesis (1987), Madonna (1987), Michael Jackson (1988), U2 (1997). Ed Sheeran was the most recent artist to perform at the venue in 2019.

The Yorkshire city currently hosts a number of large-scale music events including Festival Republic’s Leeds Festival (sister event of Reading Festivals), new music-focused event Live at Leeds, and the city centre boasts the indoor 12,000-capacity First Direct Arena.

The programming of the festival will include headline performances as well as free midweek activities for the local community. Both BST Hyde Park and All Points East are held over multiple weekends throughout the summer. It is not yet confirmed on how many nights Roundhay Festival will be held.

Jim King, chief executive of AEG Presents U.K. and European Festivals, said: “Everyone at AEG is thrilled to announce the launch of the Roundhay Festival in Leeds. This landmark event gives us the opportunity to bring world-class artists and world-leading production to even more fans, while building on the park’s incredible musical legacy.

“Roundhay Park already holds an extraordinary place in music history, having hosted concerts from some of the biggest artists of all time and we cannot wait to add to that story.

“As with all our events, we are committed to delivering the very best in every aspect, from welcoming some of the greatest artists in the world, to creating an unforgettable fan experience, and upholding industry-leading sustainability standards. We are determined to bring value to the park, the city, and the wider region. By working closely with local people and businesses, we aim to create a festival that everyone in Leeds can be proud of.”

Mark David Chapman, the man shot shot and killed music icon John Lennon, has been denied parole for a 14th time.

In an update to the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision’s digital records, it was revealed that Chapman appeared before a parole board on Aug. 27, where the convicted murderer was denied parole. Chapman will continue serving his 20 yea`r-to-life sentence at least until his next parole hearing, which is set to take place in Feb. 2027.

During a 2020 appeal for parole, Chapman expressed deep regret for shooting Lennon, telling officers that he deserved the death penalty for the “despicable” act he committed. ““I assassinated him … because he was very, very, very famous and that’s the only reason and I was very, very, very, very much seeking self-glory. Very selfish,” he said in a 2020 parole hearing. In 2022, Chapman reiterated his point, saying that he had a “selfish disregard for human life” in murdering Lennon.

John Lennon was famously shot by Chapman on Dec. 8, 1980, as the Beatles member was returning to his New York apartment building The Dakota, alongside his wife Yoko Ono. Chapman was arrested shortly after shooting Lennon, when he was found on 72nd Street reading a copy of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye.

Meanwhile, fans of the Beatles are gearing up to listen to the re-release of the band’s iconic Anthology collection, which is due to be released this fall. The new collection, which will also feature a refurbish of the original Anthology book, will include a re-release of the original 1995 TV series on Disney+.

Beef isn’t on the menu for DJ Khaled. The We The Best mogul joined Joe & Jada for an episode on Thursday (Sept. 11), where he explained why he didn’t step in when Drake was feuding with Future and Rick Ross last year.

“I love Drake, I love [Rick] Ross, I love Future,” Khaled responded to Fat Joe’s questioning. “What it feel like I didn’t get in that energy. There’s two energies I’m not gonna get in: hate.”

Joe followed up: “How do you deal with hate, brother?” Khaled fired back as if it was a rhetorical question: “I don’t.”

Khaled continued: “And then when you speak about all those great legends you just talked about… Those are my brothers. You can’t question my friendship. How? Ain’t nobody like DJ motherf—ing Khaled. Joe, you know that.”

DJ Khaled chalked much of the feuding up to a “misunderstanding” and a lack of communication, but he ultimately would “love” to be the common thread between the parties and squash the beef.

“A lot of this sh– is a misunderstanding and a lot of not [communicating]. And that’s what it be about. When it comes down to DJ Khaled, I’m gonna be the one that tries to fix it,” he added. “I love my brothers and my brothers know that. I would love to squash it.”

Khaled has an extensive collaborative history with Drake, Future and Rick Ross, and it remains to be seen if any of the trio will make an appearance on his Aalam of God album.

Back in February, Drake seemed to play dumb when Khaled revealed he had a pair of Drizzy tracks slated to land on his album. “Must be Drake Bell,” the 6 God wrote on social media.

Khaled has kicked off his Aalam of God rollout with a pair of singles. The first being “Brother” featuring a clash from Post Malone and NBA Young Boy, and a dance hall-tinged track titled “You Remind Me,” which features a line-up of Bounty Killer, Buju Banton, Kaylan Arnold, Mavado, Rorystonelove and Vybz Kartel.
