Dolly Parton and Mötley Crüe Top Charts With Heartfelt Duet
Dolly Parton and Mötley Crüe Top Charts With Heartfelt Duet originally appeared on Parade. Mötley Crüe and Dolly Parton have just achieved cross-genre success. After teaming up on the rock group's iconic 1985 hit, "Home Sweet Home," in June, Mötley Crüe and Parton, 79, have soared to No. 1 on the Mediabase Classic Rock Songs chart. The reimagined track celebrates the 40th anniversary of the original song from Mötley Crüe's Theatre Of Pain album, and marks the first time the track has topped the charts. Beyond the milestone, the collaboration carries a powerful message, with a portion of proceeds from the single supporting Covenant House, an organization dedicated to providing shelter, meals, and hope to youth experiencing homelessness. Mötley Crüe spoke about working with Parton in a joint statement shared following the song's release on June 20. "'Home Sweet Home' was first released in 1985 as a single from our Theatre Of Pain album. For an icon like Dolly Parton to sing on a song that has not only meant so much to us but to all the fans through the years, is a career high that means a lot to us," they shared. "We couldn't be happier to celebrate the 40th anniversary of 'Home Sweet Home' in this special way, and we're excited to share this version of the song with all the Dolly and MÖTLEY fans around the world." They continued, "That we were able to unite with Dolly to raise awareness for homeless youth and the amazing work of Covenant House, which provides them safe housing and care, makes it even more special. We hope you'll enjoy 'Home Sweet Home' featuring Dolly Parton as much as Dolly and we enjoyed creating it." For her part, Parton reflected on the experience, calling it an "honor." "It was an honor and a joy working in the studio on MÖTLEY CRÜE's 40th Anniversary re-release of 'Home Sweet Home,'" the "9 to 5" singer noted. "I was so pleased that they would ask me to sing on such a classic." In addition to fans getting the chance to score limited edition Dölly Crüe merch, the band also released a video for the track, which pays tribute to the original 1985 classic, and has already racked up over one million views on YouTube. This isn't the first time Mötley Crüe and Parton have topped charts together either. Bassist Nikki Sixx and guitarist John 5 joined the country icon as special guests on her song "Bygones," featured on Parton's 2023 album, Rockstar.

Alex Warren continues chart momentum as Rosé duet gains radio traction
Alex Warren's single Ordinary remains at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for a fourth consecutive week, supported by strong streaming numbers and widespread radio play. In parallel, his latest release On My Mind, a collaboration with BLACKPINK's Rosé, is beginning to chart its own course. The track, released on June 27, has been named the most-added song at Hot Adult Contemporary radio for the week, with 33 US stations adding it to their playlists, according to Mediabase. It is also scheduled to impact pop radio formats beginning July 1. On My Mind features acoustic instrumentation and dual vocals from Warren and Rosé, and serves as the third single from Warren's upcoming debut album, You'll Be Alright, Kid, which is slated for release on July 18. Warren gained attention earlier this year when Ordinary became his breakout hit. The track topped several major charts globally, including the Billboard Global 200 and UK Singles Chart, and has since received platinum certification. The new duet marks a continued expansion of his musical collaborations and genre reach. As both songs gain traction, Warren's upcoming album is expected to draw further interest upon its release.

SM founder's Chinese girl group 'A20 May' enters US, China charts — marking start of global push
Group's debut single, "Under My Skin," lands at No. 39 on US Mediabase chart — a first for a Chinese girl group A20 May, a new Chinese girl group launched by SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo-man, is quickly gaining global traction, breaking into music charts in both China and the US ahead of its scheduled performance at the 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango festival Sunday. The multinational group will be the first Chinese act to perform at the well-known festival in Huntington Beach, California, which this year features artists such as Doja Cat, Meghan Trainor and David Guetta. A20 May's second single, 'Boss,' released April 25, recently entered the No. 8 spot on the Hot Song Chart of QQ Music, China's largest music streaming platform. It also topped the platform's New Song Chart, where it debuted at No. 1 and has remained in the upper ranks — helping it break into the platform's main Top 10 chart. 'Boss' is also gaining attention in the US, where it entered the Mediabase Top 100, a key mainstream radio chart. Following the success of debut single 'Under My Skin,' which peaked at No. 39 on the same chart, A20 May has become the first Chinese act to have two songs in the Mediabase Top 100 at the same time. The music video for 'Boss' has surpassed a combined 60 million views across Weibo and YouTube, demonstrating the group's growing global reach and the appeal of their signature "Zalpha Pop" sound. Zalpha Pop, a term introduced by Lee, is a genre that blends Gen Z and Alpha Generation sentiments. A20 May is produced under A20 Entertainment, led by Lee as key producer and visionary leader. The group's concept centers on Zalpha Pop, which aims to reflect the unique spirit of a new generation and foster a deeper cultural connection with fans worldwide. Following their successful debut in December, A20 May returned in April with 'Boss,' showcasing a refined yet powerful charisma. The track features punchy drums and siren-like synths that build tension, layered with playful sonic textures that add intrigue.

Country Comeback Story Drew Baldridge Finds Himself on the Cusp of Another No. 1 with 'Tough People' (Exclusive)
Drew Baldridge's latest single, "Tough People," is currently circling the Top 10 on the Mediabase charts He became the first self-released artist to hit No. 1 on the country charts last year Now, Baldridge is gunning for a second shot at the top spot Country music's rising star Drew Baldridge currently finds himself on the cusp of perhaps another No. 1 hit with his current Top 15 single 'Tough People.' And certainly, he has Luke Combs to thank. "Luke recorded 'Tough People' first,' Baldridge remembers in a recent interview with PEOPLE about the impactful song he wrote alongside Combs, Adam Sanders and Jordan Walker that was released last October. "I was looking for a second single and I had always loved 'Tough People,' but I just felt like the song was already his." Nevertheless, Baldridge decided to call the two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year anyway. "I remember Luke saying, 'Dude, you wrote it, and you should sing it,'" recalls Baldridge. "'It's your song and I'll root you on all the way to No. 1.'" And that is now looking like the trajectory that 'Tough People' is going to take — and Combs knows it. "I saw him in Nashville when 'Tough People' had just reached the Top 15 and I thanked him and he was like, 'Shut up, man,' Baldridge, 32, recalls with a laugh of the moment he shared with Combs while out on tour with Cody Johnson. "He said, 'Don't say thank you. This is your moment. This is your song. I'm so happy for you.' And he was so kind. And it's just been another one of those things where you see why when you take a chance on yourself, you never know what might happen." He draws in a deep breath. "It's just been the roller coaster of a ride for me for the last 18 months,'"continues Baldridge, who also launched The Tough People Fund earlier this year to "highlight those individuals, families and communities that are experiencing the toughest of times." "Being in town for 13 years and being at the point of giving up … to scoring a No. 1 record." Related: Drew Baldridge's Song 'She's Somebody's Daughter' Is Experiencing a Resurgence — 5 Years Later (Exclusive) Indeed, Baldridge's first No. 1 hit "She's Somebody's Daughter" catapulted the Illinois native to new heights not only in the eyes of fans, but perhaps more importantly, within the country music industry as a whole. "Picking the second single was almost harder than picking the first, because I wanted to make sure I didn't end up a one-hit wonder," Baldridge says quietly. "I love 'She's Somebody's Daughter,' but I didn't want to be the 'She's Somebody's Daughter' guy forever. I wanted to be more than that." Having become the first self-funded artist to reach No. 1 on country radio with their debut single, Baldridge's newfound fame not only left him in awe of what he had accomplished, but all that he and his wife Katherine had accomplished together. "A lot of people don't realize how many sacrifices she had to make and how big of the story that she was," says Baldridge of his wife of almost four years, with whom he shares a 2-year-old son, Lyric Lee. "I was running a label and booking my shows and doing this all alone. And she was almost like a single parent sometimes because I was gone so much. She was drained. But she stayed with me through all of that and supported me. It takes a special partner in your life to do the life that we have." Related: Drew Baldridge and Wife Katherine Welcome a Baby Boy, Lyric Lee: 'Best Gift for Christmas' It's also taken the love of Baldridge's fans to get him to where he stands today — especially the fans who stuck by him long before he found himself as a constant on the country music charts. "Awhile back, I went around the country and played all of these people's backyards and it was those people that kept me going," Baldridge remembers. "It wasn't Nashville, and it wasn't radio in that moment. It was the actual people I was making music for. That's when everything changed. I realized that I was making music for real hearts and souls." And it's those stories that Baldridge says he hopes to continue to tell. "We're all struggling,' concludes Baldridge, who will head out on the road this summer with fellow country music hitmaker Bailey Zimmerman on his New to Country tour. "But let's put a light on these tough times that we're going through. We're all tough people. We all have a scar. We all have a story, and I think that's what I want my music to say."
