Warner Music Group reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $1.5 billion, up 7 percent from a year ago, and net income of $96 million, up from $37 million a year ago. While both numbers saw a jump, the company reported earnings per share of 18 cents per share, below Wall Street expectations of 20 cents.
The bottom-line results were driven by a strong operating performance — $12 million in savings from a March 2023 restructuring plan — and the impact of exchange rates on the company’s Euro-denominated debt, which led to a gain of $21 million in the quarter compared to a loss of $20 million in the prior-year quarter.
“Our performance in the quarter was driven by an acceleration in Recorded Music subscription streaming growth and continued momentum in music publishing,” said Bryan Castellani, CFO of Warner Music. “Encouraged by the continued growth in engagement and value of music, we remain focused on delivering on our strategy and driving long-term shareholder value.

The idea of artists needing a “career reboot” often has as much to do with the petulant impatience of content-saturated fans than the actual situation of the artist in question. But in the case of Sia, the urgency of a course correction is hard to deny. Sia broke out from the ranks of top-level songwriters-for-hire in 2014 with the self-emptying party-kamikaze ginormity of “Chandelier.” Her 2017 album This is Acting was a concept record of sorts that repurposed songs she’d originally written with singers like Adele and Rihanna in mind, of...

The summer season can be unforgiving, not just to humans but also to birds and animals.
Bollywood celebrities and pet parents, including John Abraham, Raveena Tandon, Priyamani, and Jacqueliene Fernandez, among many others, have shared their advice on how to help furry friends during soaring temperatures.
Raveena, a dog mom to Lucifer, her cute Pomeranian, urged people to place cool and clean water for birds, dogs, and cats during the summer season.
The actress told Ians: “Birds and community dogs and cats suffer during the summer. I ask everyone to please place mud pots filled with cool, clean water outside your home or in places where there are community or working animals. Inexpensive mud pots will help keep the water cool and won’t tip over.”
John, an ardent animal lover with two furry babies named Sia and Bailey, shared that rising temperatures can cause dehydration and heatstroke. He places water bowls to help.

When "Six Feet Under" came to Netflix in November 2023, I was eager to finally watch one of HBO's finest television shows. My father passed away in September, and while binging this series so soon after his death might seem like a masochistic endeavor, it was quite healing. One of the few things I knew about "Six Feet Under" was that many critics and audiences consider the final episode the greatest television ending of all time. As George R. R. Martin told Variety, "[T]hat last episode was far and away the best finale in the entire history of television, and I cannot imagine how anyone could possibly do better." Empire's review called it "almost unbearably moving and thrillingly executed."

More than 250 artists, including Billie Eilish, Green Day, Sia and Cyndi Lauper, signed a letter Thursday urging the Senate Commerce Committee to support a bill that would reform the ticketing system for live events.
The Fans First Act, which was initially introduced in December by Sens. John Cornyn, Amy Klobuchar, Marsha Blackburn, Peter Welch, Roger Wicker and Ben Ray Lujan, aims to address flaws in the current live event ticketing system. The bill hopes to increase transparency in ticket sales, protect consumers from fake or overpriced tickets, and hold those who engage in illegal ticket sale practices accountable.
“As artists and members of the music community, we rely on touring for our livelihood, and we value music fans above all else,” the letter said in part. “We are joining together to say that the current system is broken: predatory resellers and secondary platforms engage in deceptive ticketing practices to inflate...

Anyone who has tried to secure tickets to a concert in recent years knows that the system is broken. Luckily, many top acts know it is broken, too, and want something done about it.
Over 250 artists, including Billie Eilish, Dave Matthews, Lorde, Sia, Train, Graham Nash, Green Day, Cyndi Lauper, Fall Out Boy, Chappell Roan, Becky G, Béla Fleck, Jason Mraz, Yes, Mgmt, Blue Öyster Cult and many others have lent their names to bills currently put before congress, the Fans First Act and The Ticket Act, which basically pokes holes in the current ticketing system that frequently drives up prices and creates an unfair secondary market. The bills by members of both parties, like Republican Texas senator John Cornyn and Democratic Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar.

More than 250 recording artists have signed a letter to the Senate Committee on Commerce in support of a bill advocating for ticket sale transparency and consumer protections against bots.
Billie Eilish, Dave Matthews, Cyndi Lauper, Lorde, Sia, Train, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, Graham Nash, Becky G, and Chappell Roan are among the prominent signees urging Congress to pass the Fans First Act (S. 3457). The bill, introduced by Senators Cornyn, Klobuchar, Blackburn, Welch, Wicker, and Lujan, and the bipartisan Ticket Act (H.R. 3950), sponsored by Reps. Bilirakis, Schakowsky, and Armstrong, which passed out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, address the live event ticketing system.

Oscar-winning director Sebastián Lelio has wrapped production and released first images on his new musical film The Wave (La Ola), inspired by the protests and university rallies that took place in Chile during the so-called “feminist May” in 2018.

Sebastián Lelio is setting the soundtrack of a feminist revolution with musical film “The Wave (La Ola)” — it just wrapped production.
The Academy Award-winning director helms the film that follows music student Julia (Daniela López) who gets involved in the growing feminist #MeToo movement on her university campus. Amid the excitement of protest marches, per the official synopsis, Julia joins her friends in dancing and singing, revisiting her own experiences of mistreatment. As she gathers the courage to share her own abuse story, she unexpectedly becomes a central figure in the movement — a role she didn’t foresee, which forces her to address her identity as a survivor in a society that promises change but remains resistant to it.
Avril Aurora, Lola Bravo, and Paulina Cortés also star. See below for first-look images.

Rihanna‘s “Umbrella” was, arguably, the song that transformed her from a regular Top 40 singer into a superstar. Two of Rihanna’s regular songwriters were upset that the track was so good. They wanted one of her other tracks to succeed.

Together, Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor E. Hermansen are a songwriting duo called Stargate. They have been instrumental in Rihanna’s career, writing hits such as “S&m,” “Only Girl (In the World),” “Diamonds,” and “Unfaithful.” During a 2018 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Eriksen recalled the creation of Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music,” one of the most beloved dance songs of the 2000s.
“Before we met her, before we even saw a picture of her, we could tell Rihanna was going places just by listening to her voice on ‘Pon de Replay,'” he said. “We just knew,...

When a film is looking to maximize its box office, there are numerous factors to consider. Some films rely on star power to draw audiences. Others attach themselves to recognizable properties, hoping familiar titles and characters will bring audiences back. Then there's the film's MPA (Motion Picture Association) rating. In 2018, the organization formerly known as the Motion Picture Association of America released a report noting that over half of all films were rated R, the most-adult, most-restrictive rating. Accordingly, in 2022, Axios reported that R-rated films were drawing a smaller portion of box office revenue than ever.
"If the greatest chance of box office success is having a PG-13 rating, or not having an R-rating, then that's where the industry really had to go," media analyst Paul Dergarabedian told the outlet. Still, he noted, there is often an audience for edgier fare, especially edgy genre fare. "Some of the best movies...

Before Ne-Yo became a household name, the budding performer was working tirelessly as a songwriter behind the scenes, and his breakthrough came in the form of then-16-year-old singer Mario.
Released in October 2004, Ne-Yo wrote “Let Me Love You” for Mario’s sophomore album Turning Point — the follow-up to his hit “Just a Friend 2002” — and the smooth R&b track became an international hit. It topped the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart for nine weeks and spent 11 weeks on top of the Hot R&b/Hip-Hop songs chart. It earned Mario his first-ever Grammy nomination and helped the teen singer transition to a performer with an adult fanbase.
But Ne-Yo admits, “I remember when I wrote that song, I did not think Mario was going to be able to pull it off.”
“Mind you, I hadn’t met him yet,” he adds. “All I knew was that he had just turned 16 and I’m like,...

Survivor 46 will introduce more than a cast of new players.
An image of the new voting booth is also creating social media buzz.
At each Tribal Council, castaways go to the voting booth to secretly place their votes.
People who lost their votes pretended they were voting in more recent seasons.
Everyone will have even more privacy to do so, and the voting booth is now well-lit.
But maybe the extra lighting was only intended for host Jeff Probst, and it gets toned down on episodes.
The new Survivor 46 voting booth
Below is an image going around social media of what is allegedly the Survivor 46 voting booth. We see host Jeff Probst excitedly speaking to the camera and likely priming the audience for a new season.
It’s a different look in the past and a departure from making sure it looks like an on-location shot, not just a set.

Lots of stars stepped out to help Cartier celebrate one hundred years of the Trinity icon!
Jake Gyllenhaal, Manu Rios, and cute new couple Rami Malek and Emma Corrin were just a few of the stars who attended Cartier’s event on Wednesday (February 7) at Petit Palais in Paris, France.
The event served as the finale of a week of celebrations. The Paris event featured an evening headlined by Sia, Labrinth, and Diplo, following a performance by dance collective La Horde.
The public can follow all three events on Cartier’s social media through the eyes of the Trinity ambassadors with a series of exclusive content that shares their experiences and their personal vision of this iconic piece of jewellery. An accompanying pop-up space in the Marais district allows guests to discover the new creations – including square, Xl, and modular versions – while enjoying a Trinity-inspired patisserie menu.

A Survivor 46 cast member has had some troubles with his eyes.
College coach Tim Spicer revealed some eye-opening stories in the run-up to the new Survivor season – pun intended.
Tim’s hometown is Arlington, Virginia, but he now resides in Atlanta, Ga.
Survivor castaways talk about themselves in bios that get released each season. Tim called himself goal-oriented, a charismatic team player, and a strategic thinker.
On paper, Tim seems like someone who could be a true contender for that $1 million prize. But the game isn’t played on paper, so we will see how he did in Fiji.
As a reminder, the new season begins on Wednesday, February 28. Here is a link to the full Survivor 46 cast, featuring 18 new players.

Cirie Fields made a name for herself during four appearances on Survivor.
After winning the first season of The Traitors USA, Cirie took a shot at winning Big Brother. Her experience was not a fond one.
Cirie was very open about not enjoying the 100-day season of Big Brother 25. But has it also stuck with her?
Cirie acted miserable on the Big Brother live feeds as the days ticked off the calendar. She talked to herself often and noted that she wanted people to leave her alone.
In comparison, Cirie’s seasons of Survivor were 39 days. Her stint on The Traitors was even shorter, as they filmed it in a few weeks. Big Brother was a different beast altogether.
This underscores how Cirie is the perfect person to ask about the difficulties of each show.

Dan Gheesling was eliminated on the latest episode of The Traitors 2.
Several players clocked the Big Brother 10 winner early in the season. They then voted him out at the Roundtable on Episode 6.
It was the second straight week that a Big Brother alum was Banished, as Janelle Pierzina was eliminated previously.
This means no Big Brother people are left for when the castle guests come across Dr. Will Kirby during an upcoming episode.
Now that Dan is out of the game, he can speak freely about his time in Scotland. He also has some ideas for future seasons.
One idea Dan has shared is who he thinks should make the jump from Big Brother to The Traitors next.
Who from Big Brother should be on The Traitors 3?
Having played Big Brother twice and now being experienced on The Traitors, Dan was the perfect person to ask about fellow alums who should go to Scotland.

Sia is a huge fan of Survivor and loves celebrating her favorite players.
The singer of The Greatest, Cheap Thrills, and Elastic Heart also awards cash prizes to players she enjoys on the show.
Following the Survivor 45 season, Sia gave out three cash prizes to cast members. Rewarding players is something she loves doing. It also leads to more than just the winner being recognized.
Some players who have received the Survivor Sia Award include Aurora McCreary from Edge of Extinction, Elaine Stott from Island of the Idols, and Owen Knight from Survivor 43 (in Fiji).
Fans routinely debate which players will or should receive Sia’s admiration in a given season.
Katurah Topps received $100,000 from Sia after appearing on Survivor 45.
Kaleb Gebrewold and Jake O’Kane each received $15,000 from Sia after Survivor 45.

Artists from different genres and eras can create similar songs. Rihanna‘s “Diamonds” has some interesting similarities to a song from The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Both tracks have the same central theme, even if that isn’t obvious at first.
Rihanna’s ‘Diamonds’ was co-written by a pop star and a pair of important producers
Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen are a pair of musical producers collectively known as Stargate. Stargate produced big singles like Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable,” Selena Gomez’s “Come & Get It,” and Katy Perry’s “Firework.” They’ve also worked on several Rihanna hits, including “Diamonds,” which they co-wrote with pop star Sia. During a 2018 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hermansen said they wanted to write something different, and Sia spontaneously came up with a lyric about “diamonds in the sky.”

Exclusive: Pop icon Sia has boarded The Journey, a reality series at the junction of music, healing and make-over TV.
The Australian-born singer-songwriter has signed a deal with Original Bear Entertainment for the show, which is currently in development and billed as “the first make-over show that uses music instead of make-up.”
