Mayer premiered the track on October 22 through his SiriusXM channel, Life with John Mayer, before making it available on major streaming platforms the following day.

The singer-songwriter explained that the song’s unusual title originated from an early voice memo recorded during the writing process. Its lyrics explore romantic uncertainty, longing, and the complicated emotions that come with relationships.

Co-produced by Mayer and Blake Slatkin, “Tom and Jerry” was recorded at Chaplin Studios.

The release also introduces a new chapter in Mayer’s career. He has launched Sob Rock Records, his own record label, in partnership with Mercury Records.

Beyond the new music, Mayer is preparing for a 21-show residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, scheduled from April through June 2027.

The single brings Mayer’s solo songwriting back into focus as he expands his recording activities.

Released on October 23, 2026, the new recording offers a contemporary take on the 1984 song originally written by Ric Ocasek. The track keeps the recognizable energy of the original while adding Steinfeld’s pop vocals.

Steinfeld also stars in Hexed, voicing Billie Doe, a teenage girl who discovers she has magical abilities. Her discovery leads her into a mysterious world filled with witches and unexpected adventures.

The animated film features a voice cast that includes Rashida Jones, Jodie Foster, Walton Goggins, Tracey Ullman, and Stephen Fry.

The recording marks another connection between Steinfeld’s music and acting careers. She previously contributed the song “Dangerous” to the 2025 film Sinners.

The Hexed soundtrack is scheduled for release on November 20, 2026, five days before the movie arrives in theaters on November 25.

The release follows her 2025 solo album Alter Ego, which reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200. The EP’s lead single, “SaWaDiKa,” also made its debut on the Hot 100 at No. 69.

Each song explores a different sound and atmosphere. “SaWaDiKa” incorporates elements of LISA’s cultural background, while “Cobra” and “V12” lean into energetic production and confident rap performances. “Tarantino” draws inspiration from film, and “Sweat” emphasizes dance-driven rhythms. “Cut U Off” adds another dimension to the collection.

LISA holds songwriting credits on all six tracks, reflecting her involvement in the project’s creative direction.

The release also follows her Best Pop win for “Dream” at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, marking another milestone in her solo career.

The award was announced on October 22 during a ceremony at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena in England. The judging panel recognized the album for its musical ambition, creative range, and distinctive approach to storytelling.

The project blends jazz, soul, R&B, and orchestral arrangements, exploring themes of personal challenges, relationships, and optimism.

RAYE faced competition from several established and emerging artists, including Paul McCartney, Olivia Dean, Florence + The Machine, JADE, Dave, and Suede.

The singer received a £25,000 prize and performed I Hate The Way I Look Today during the ceremony, earning a standing ovation from the audience.

The victory follows her previous Mercury Prize nomination in 2023 for her debut album, My 21st Century Blues.

The recognition adds another milestone to RAYE’s career as she continues to develop her sound across multiple musical genres.

Released on October 23, 2026, through Spinnin’ Records, the new remix features Australian singer Tones And I and DJ and producer CYRIL. The collaboration combines Lauper’s original vocals with modern dance production and additional vocals from Tones And I.

The project follows a musical connection between Lauper and Tones And I, who previously performed Time After Time together in 2025. Tones And I later introduced Lauper to the remix she was developing with CYRIL, receiving the singer’s approval to move forward.

The updated version maintains recognizable elements of the original recording, including its opening guitar and Lauper’s distinctive voice, while introducing electronic rhythms designed for contemporary dance audiences.

Originally released in 1983, Time After Time became one of Lauper’s signature songs and remains a familiar part of 1980s pop music.

The new collaboration adds another chapter to the song’s history, connecting its original sound with the electronic production styles of today’s music scene.

The band confirmed through an Instagram announcement on October 22 that new music will arrive on October 27, 2026. The announcement featured a Halloween-themed video with references to ghosts, shadows, and supernatural imagery.

Gosling’s partner, Eva Mendes, had hinted at the comeback earlier in the week through social media posts. Following the announcement, Mendes shared her excitement, writing, “He came through on his promise to me.”

Dead Man’s Bones released its self-titled debut album in 2009, featuring contributions from the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir. The project combined gothic folk, rock, and theatrical elements, with songs exploring ghosts, monsters, and other supernatural themes.

Although the band has been inactive for years, Gosling has continued performing music through his film career, including La La Land and Barbie. His performance of “I’m Just Ken” also earned him a Grammy nomination.

Details about a full album or potential live performances have not been announced.

The October 22, 2026, appearance was announced earlier in the week and includes both an interview with Fallon and a live musical performance. Actors Kristen Bell and Joe Manganiello are also featured in the episode’s lineup.

ADÉLA has been gaining attention with her recent releases, including Ain’t in LA, which reached No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her track Nicole Kidman has also generated interest, particularly after the actress herself acknowledged the song.

During a previous appearance on Fallon’s show, Kidman shared her appreciation for ADÉLA’s music and praised the young singer’s talent.

The recognition comes as ADÉLA continues building her presence in the American pop music scene.

Her appearance on The Tonight Show marks another television milestone, bringing her music to a national audience through NBC and the streaming platform Peacock.

The singer has announced Middle of Nowhere Vol. 2: Tex Mex Tapes, a 16-track album scheduled for release on January 15, 2027, through Lost Highway Records. The project follows her May 2026 release, Middle of Nowhere.

The upcoming album includes 11 new songs and five covers, blending traditional country music with Tejano, norteño, and regional Mexican influences.

Four tracks are performed entirely in Spanish, including a new version of “Uncertain, TX” featuring the Mexican-American group Intocable. Another collaboration features Mariachi Oro de América on a live recording of “Tú Solo Tú.”

Fans will get an early preview with two songs, “Weekend in Texas” and “Mi Tesoro,” scheduled for release on October 23, 2026.

The announcement comes as Musgraves approaches the final dates of her North American tour and prepares for the November CMA Awards.

The new collection continues her exploration of country music while incorporating sounds connected to her Texas upbringing.

The new release earned 30,000 equivalent album units in the United States during its opening week, including 26,000 traditional album sales, according to the latest chart figures.

The album also debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart, with 17,000 copies sold on vinyl.

The achievement gives Greta Van Fleet its fifth consecutive No. 1 release on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, continuing a run that began with the band’s 2017 EP, From the Fires.

Several tracks from Palace for the People also appeared on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, including Heya, Tear It Down, and Saw You Stand.

The results highlight the band’s continued commercial presence in rock music, particularly through physical album sales. Vinyl purchases accounted for a substantial share of the album’s first-week performance.

The latest chart results confirm another major success for the Canadian pop singer, whose music continues to find an audience beyond North America.

Housewife becomes McRae’s sixth top 10 single in Australia, surpassing her previous best chart position with Greedy, which peaked at No. 2 in 2023.

The new release adds to a growing collection of successful singles for McRae, who has built an international following through her pop music and live performances.

Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo also enjoys a strong week on the Australian chart.

 Her song Expectations jumps from No. 78 to No. 2 following the release of an updated version featuring Chappell Roan.

The two tracks now occupy the highest positions on the singles chart, placing three prominent pop artists at the center of the week’s rankings.

With Housewife leading the chart, McRae has secured her strongest Australian singles performance to date.
