Linkin Park Drop ‘One More Light' From Live Shows After Bennington's Death
In a new interview with The Guardian, co-founder Mike Shinoda shared that certain songs have been removed from setlists following Chester Bennington's death in 2017, with 'One More Light' being one of the most significant omissions.

'I think we all wanted our show to be really good vibes,' Shinoda said. 'I want you walking away feeling like, this was such a wonderful, special, fun night.'
He added that there are some Linkin Park tracks that he would 'feel weird' performing without Bennington, including 'One More Light.'
'It was originally written for a woman at the label that we worked with who passed away,' Shinoda explained. 'Then, after Chester passed, the world decided that it was about him. And so that's just too sad to play.'
The decision comes as Linkin Park navigate a new chapter in their career. Last year, the band introduced Dead Sara's Emily Armstrong as their new lead vocalist and released From Zero, their first album since Bennington's passing.
The album debuted at No. 1 on numerous Billboard charts last November, except for the Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales, where it arrived at No. 2. Following its deluxe reissue with additional tracks on May 16, From Zero saw a return to Top Album Sales (at No. 5), Top Hard Rock Albums (No. 4), Vinyl Albums (No. 8), Top Alternative Albums (No. 9), Top Rock Albums (No. 15), Top Rock & Alternative Albums (No. 17), Indie Store Album Sales (No. 17) and the Billboard 200 (No. 71) charts dated May 31.
The band is currently in the middle of their From Zero world tour, which recently included high-profile stops at the UEFA Champions League Final in Munich and a sold-out show at London's Wembley Stadium, with their U.S. leg set to kick off July 29.
'One More Light' was the title track from Linkin Park's final album with Bennington, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

After Her "Unhinged" And "Unfiltered" Interviews Left People Talking About Her Apparent "Lack Of Media Training," Reneé Rapp Addressed The Comments In An Interview
If there's anything we know about Reneé Rapp, it's that she's going to speak her mind loudly and unapologetically. Whether she's standing up for politics, calling out problematic men, or gushing over Megan Thee Stallion's "incredible" ass, you can always count on her to tell it like it is — no matter who's watching. Related: Her "unhinged" and "unfiltered" interview behavior first went viral last year on the Mean Girls press tour, receiving praise from fans and jokes about her apparent "lack of media training." But while fans might enjoy her carefree responses, it seems like Reneé herself isn't exactly a fan of the discourse. She recently told the Guardian, "It's very weird, honestly, to be perceived that way, because I don't really think about it." Related: "I never thought about how people would dissect even the way you speak," she continued. "Like, wait, what would a normal response be? A fluffy, nonsense answer? To me, that would make me crazy." She added, "If I was a journalist, that would drive me fucking up the wall! Because I would be like, 'Hang on, we're not even like having a conversation.' That would make me insane." Related: She went on to credit her parents for giving her the confidence to share her opinions so freely. She said, "I have phenomenal parents. They were just always like: 'Be accountable to yourself, to your friends, to people you don't know.'" Another lesson she said she learned is "there's no shame in being wrong, necessarily," as long as you can "look in the mirror" and be okay. Elsewhere in the interview, Reneé reflected on other viral moments, including the reaction to her May song "Leave Me Alone," where she was accused of dissing The Sex Lives of College Girls with the line, "I took my sex life with me, now the show ain't fuckin'!" As fans know, Reneé left the show in 2023 ahead of the third season, and since then, she's signaled she didn't exactly have the greatest time on the show. Related: When asked why she left the series in a June interview with Ziwe, Reneé tellingly responded, "I had such a good experience." "I wish I could go back," she added. "Really?" Ziwe asked, to which Reneé replied, "Nope!" The Guardian asked her about the reaction to the song in the interview, and Reneé replied with what the outlet described as a "Cheshire cat grin." "It's like Beyoncé said," she shared. "'You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation.'" Read the full interview here.

Chuck Mangione, dead at 84, was no hack with a horn
A healthy segment of Americans knew Chuck Mangione as an object of kitsch. The shoulder-length hair and beard, the colorfully banded fedora, the warm, glossy sound of his flügelhorn (all of which he happily sent up in his self-portrayals on the animated sitcom 'King of the Hill'): Mangione represented not just a weird limbo between hipness and squareness, but an outdated one. Yet if Mangione, who died Tuesday at 84, was game to make fun of himself in that way, it was because he'd already achieved what any artist strives for: He'd made his work an indispensable part of our world. Specifically, his hit 'Feels So Good,' an instrumental pop-jazz crossover that reached #4 on the Billboard charts during the summer of 1978, has unexpectedly had as much staying power as 'Stayin' Alive,' 'I Will Survive' or any other anthemic tune from that era. So much so, in fact, that we didn't always notice it. The melodic, ever-so-gently funky record is played in restaurants and grocery stores, in hotel lobbies and elevators. It has powered more TV and radio commercials than anyone could count. Those of us who aren't pop-music nerds, or just not old enough to remember when it reigned supreme on top 40 radio, know 'Feels So Good's' barrage of hooks by heart without even realizing the song has a name. Those are the qualities that make it easy to mock, of course. It's catchy but toothless, inoffensively pleasant, so of course it's ubiquitous. That was part of the 'King of the Hill' bit. Mangione was a celebrity pitchman (for Mega Lo Mart, the big-box store of the show's universe) who, no matter what he played on his horn, always segued into 'Feels So Good.' Through no fault of its own, the record became a cornerstone of smooth jazz, that intersection of jazz, rock, soul and easy listening that conquered the realm of background music in the 1980s and 1990s. The genre is much despised. 'Feels So Good,' by association more than any actual element of the song, has thus taken its lumps. It wasn't because he couldn't play anything edgier. The Rochester, New York, native was a graduate, and later a faculty member, of that city's Eastman School of Music. He also did time in the mid 1960s as the trumpeter in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, the most prestigious finishing school in postwar jazz. Before earning those two distinctions, he and his brother Gap, a pianist, had some early-1960s success leading the hard-swinging Mangione Brothers sextet, recording an album before he was 20 years old (with two more to follow). Dizzy Gillespie was both a fan of and mentor to the trumpeter. They remained close until Gillespie's death in 1993. Chuck Mangione was no hack with a horn. But he came to jazz when it had split into two poles: a populist one, which was trending ever lighter to suit mainstream tastes, and an arty one, which was increasingly inaccessible. Mangione wanted to reach the people. He saw nothing wrong with that. But he wasn't interested in success for its own sake: 'I didn't want to record something I didn't like, because if it became a hit I wouldn't be happy playing it,' he told JazzTimes magazine. It's a sentiment that was also expressed by the likes of Paul McCartney — who, as a solo artist, had been on the receiving end of the same kind of kitsch accusations as Mangione. But it's also resulted in the horn player getting the same kind of world-class work: In 1980, for example, Mangione was invited to compose a theme song for that year's Winter Olympics. He played the resulting tune, 'Give It All You Got,' live at the Closing Ceremonies in Lake Placid, New York, for a worldwide television audience. (It was another Billboard Top 20 hit, too.) Talk about reaching the people. The comparison with McCartney is apt in another sense. Say what you will about 'Feels So Good' and its particular kind of ubiquity; it means that Mangione achieved, without exaggeration, Beatle-level cultural saturation. More people know his music than know him. He reached this point without, in his own words, having to resort to music he didn't want to play. In the wake of Mangione's passing, there will be plenty of people who are ready to pile on and crack jokes about the kitschy side of his legacy. The joke will be on them. Mangione was perfectly content with that aspect of himself. Meanwhile, he infiltrated our environment and our lives in a way that many of his critics can only dream of.

The top song that came out the year you were born
BI looked at Billboard's year-end No. 1 singles since 1940 to determine the top song from each year. The list includes Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, Prince, Whitney Houston, Adele, Dua Lipa, and more. The biggest song of 2024 was "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims, according to Billboard. Take a look back at the defining hit from each year since 1940, listed below in chronological order. Kirsten Acuna contributed reporting. 1940: "I'll Never Smile Again" by Tommy Dorsey For songs prior to 1946, before Billboard's year-end list existed, we looked at the singles that stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard charts the longest. "I'll Never Smile Again" by Tommy Dorsey, which also features backing vocals from Frank Sinatra and the Pied Pipers, spent a dozen weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's singles chart. 1941: "Amapola (Pretty Little Poppy)" by Jimmy Dorsey Originally written by Spanish-American composer José Maria Lacalle Garcia, Jimmy Dorsey's popular version of the song remained at No. 1 on the Billboard charts for 10 weeks. Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo" was a close second for top song of 1941. It spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart. 1942: "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby Bing Crosby's version of the Irving Berlin song, which was featured in the film "White Christmas," holds the record for being the best-selling single since 2012. According to Guinness World Records, the holiday classic has sold an estimated 50 million copies. 1943: "I've Heard That Song Before" by Harry James "I've Heard That Song Before" appeared in the 1942 film "Youth on Parade" and was nominated for best original song at the Oscars.

It was also nominated for record of the year and song of the year, but lost to Green Day and U2, respectively. 2006: "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter "Bad Day" has been parodied and used extensively in ads and TV shows. It's been used so much since its release that Powter said he felt " detached from the song" because it's essentially in the public domain. 2007: "Irreplaceable" by Beyoncé "Irreplaceable" was released as the third single from Beyoncé's second solo album, "B'Day," and was crowned the third-best breakup song of the 21st century by Business Insider. 2008: "Low" by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain "Low" was featured on the soundtrack for the 2008 film "Step Up 2: The Streets." 2009: "Boom Boom Pow" by The Black Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow" was the group's first No. 1 single in the US and won the Grammy for best short form music video. 2010: "Tik Tok" by Kesha Kesha's debut single has been parodied by Weird Al and appeared on an episode of "The Simpsons." 2011: "Rolling In The Deep" by Adele Adele's music video for "Rolling in the Deep" is one of the few to cross 1 billion views on YouTube. 2012: "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra The one-hit wonder won best pop duo/group performance and record of the year at the 2013 Grammys. 2013: "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz Macklemore's novelty hit won best rap performance and best rap song at the 2014 Grammys. 2014: "Happy" by Pharrell Williams Pharrell delivered the perfect feel-good song of the summer in 2014.

For several years, it was the most-watched music video on YouTube with more than 3 billion views. Bruno Mars's "Uptown Funk" was also a massive hit in 2015, topping the Billboard pop chart. 2016: "Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber "Love Yourself" was released as the third single from Justin Bieber's fourth album, "Purpose." It was one of the best-selling songs of 2016, and its music video has over 1 billion views on YouTube. 2017: "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber Although Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" was the top Billboard single of 2017, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's infectious club banger (with a boost from Bieber) claims one of the longest streaks atop the chart with 16 consecutive weeks throughout summer 2017. That's longer than Sheeran's 11 weeks with "Shape of You." The original music video for "Despacito" (sans Bieber) was the first in history to reach five billion views on YouTube. 2018: "God's Plan" by Drake Drake's "God's Plan" was Billboard's year-end No. 1 single for 2018. The rapper had another big hit that year when his song "In My Feelings" became a meme. 2019: "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus Lil Nas X enlisted Billy Ray Cyrus for a remix of "Old Town Road" because he was a childhood fan of "Hannah Montana," in which Cyrus costarred with his daughter, Miley Cyrus. The country-rap duet holds the record for the longest stretch at No. 1 with 19 weeks atop the chart. It also became the fastest song in history to be certified diamond. 2020: "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd Less than one year after "Blinding Lights" was crowned Billboard's top song of 2020, it was named the top Hot 100 song of all time. The Weeknd's smash hit spent 43 weeks in the chart's top five, 57 weeks in the top 10, 86 weeks in the top 40, and 90 weeks on the Hot 100. 2021: "Levitating" by Dua Lipa "Levitating" was originally released in March 2020 as the fifth track on Dua Lipa's sophomore album " Future Nostalgia." It was promoted as the album's fifth single and peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 in May 2021, eventually becoming the longest-charting song by a female artist, spending a total of 77 weeks on the chart. 2022: "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals In March 2022, "Heat Waves" completed an unprecedented 59-week climb to No. 1. The sleeper hit, written solely by Glass Animals front man Dave Bayley, reigned atop the chart for five straight weeks and ended the year as Billboard's top-performing hit. "Heat Waves" later became the longest-charting hit in the Hot 100's 64-year history. It spent 91 weeks on the chart, breaking the record set by The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights." (It has since been broken again by "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims.) An honorable mention goes out to "As It Was" by Harry Styles, which ended 2022 as Billboard's second-biggest song. The lead single from " Harry's House" spent 15 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, setting a record among British artists. 2023: "Last Night" by Morgan Wallen Despite a string of controversies, Morgan Wallen's single "Last Night" became the singer's first No. 1 hit on the Hot 100. It spent 16 weeks atop the chart in 2023, setting a record among solo artists. It has since been broken by Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)." 2024: "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims Although Taylor Swift topped the year-end Hot 100 Artists ranking and her album, " The Tortured Poets Department," topped the Billboard 200 Albums recap, the magazine crowned Teddy Swims' sleeper hit "Lose Control" as the top-performing single of 2024. "Lose Control" was originally released in June 2023 and debuted at No. 99 on the Hot 100. It reached No. 1 in March 2024 after a 32-week climb. In July 2025, "Lose Control" became the first song ever to spend 100 weeks on the all-genre chart.
