The royal duo is expected to produce and host podcasts through their newly formed production company Archewell Audio. Their first podcast series will premiere next year, but it will be preceded by a holiday special hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

This project is expected to premiere later this month and it will feature “stories of hope and compassion from inspirational guests in celebration of the new year.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle explained their decision to start the podcast by saying they believe podcasts have the power to help us connect to one another without distraction. “With the challenges of 2020, there has never been a more important time to do so, because when we hear each other, and hear each other’s stories, we are reminded of how interconnected we all are,” the royal couple said in a joint statement.

The streaming service has unveiled its decade-end statistics giving music lovers insight into the platform’s top performers of the year and decade.

Drake is the most-streamed male artist of the decade based on more than 248 million users’ listening habits worldwide. 

The newly crowned most-streamed artist of the decade, with over 28 billion total streams over the past 10 years is followed on the list by Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Ariana Grande — who also took the prize of the most-streamed female artist of the decade, and Eminem. 

Malone is also officially the 2019’s most-streamed artist on Spotify with more than 6.5 billion streams.

This is just the latest in a long series of records she set since 1994 when “All I Want For Christmas Is You” came out. Over two decades have passed since, and this holiday anthem is still Carey’s biggest international success and the best-selling modern day Christmas song.

This hit tune reportedly earned $60 million in royalties over the years. We wouldn’t be surprised if Mariah Carey cashes out a couple more checks in the future since this song keeps on surging in popularity as years go by.

“All I Want For Christmas Is You” broke its latest record after receiving a total of 10.8 million streams on Christmas Eve. It surpassed the song “SAD!” by XXXTentacion, which was streamed 10.4 million times on June 19, one day after his death made the headlines.

The pop icon has just dropped a second music video for her single “Delicate” on Friday. The news of the new vid was announced on Instagram. 

“Hey guys, I’m at rehearsals for the Reputation Stadium Tour,” she shared. “And I just wanted to let you know there’s a brand-new video for “Delicate” coming out only on Spotify tonight.”

The first music video premiered during the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards broadcast just as she was accepting her award for Female Artist of the Year. The video for the single off her latest album Reputation was filmed over two nights in downtown Los Angeles. 

The second version is a self-shot, one-time music video. It’s a minimalist clip where Swift lip-syncs the song in a wooded area while rotating the camera to capture herself in various poses and angles.

Even though it is available on exclusively on Spotify, watch a short clip of the production Swift posted to Twitter.

The 44th POTUS developed the habit of posting reading lists and sharing favorite playlists while in office. But who said he should stop there?

Obama took to social media to explain to the people how he’s using his newfound “extra time on [his] hands.” Obama wrote Sunday on Facebook on his ongoing tradition of sharing his favorite’s lists.

“During my presidency, I started a tradition of sharing my reading lists and playlists. It was a nice way to reflect on the works that resonated with me and lift up authors and artists from around the world. With some extra time on my hands this year to catch up, I wanted to share the books and music that I enjoyed most.”

This habit of posting lists during his two terms even earned Obama the title of “President of Playlists,” as Spotify CEO Daniel Ek suggest. Ek tweeted @BarackObama, “I heard that you were interested in a role at Spotify. Have you seen this one? adding a link to a job listing tailor-made for Obama.

As usual Obama’s choice of literary picks include both nonfiction and fiction works and his music picks range from good old classics to quite unexpected choices.
