CP’s April cover model, Clara Kent released a new holiday song as part of A Very HughShows Holiday. Kent, along with 16 Pittsburgh artists/bands, either wrote or covered seasonal tunes that will air during a one-night screening of the HughShows television program.

Yesterday Chalk Dinosaur celebrated the seven-year anniversary of its album, Follow Me. Since that day in 2011, artist and producer John O'Hallaron has released over ten albums.

On this day in 2011 I released an ep called Follow Me. It was a creative and technical breakthrough in terms of my writing and recording, and I’ll always have a soft spot for it! I always take this opportunity to share it... https://t.co/KEAhA17Y3Z

And on Thursday performed a live DJ set at Ascend on the South Side.

Let's take a break from #rockbot to enjoy a live DJ set from local musician @Chalkdinosaur - this Thursday 11/8 from 6p-9p. All we ask is that you keep climbing and working out, but with slightly more style and groove! Note: this is not a concert, just some dope music to enjoy. pic.twitter.com/AABWMwsshG

Speaking of mid-2000s’ singers, Regina Spektor, added a new track to the music world this weekend with, "Birdsong."

Here is a new little “Birdsong” for you-written for Panorama, the 6th episode of a wonderful new show by Matthew Weiner called @TheRomanoffs. This episode felt like a love letter to the deep rich culture of Mexico & to people just trying to find and accept themselves as they are. pic.twitter.com/KHr54TIR7l

Since I haven't heard anything else this week besides, "Thank u, next," it only makes sense that the song became Ariana Grande’s first number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

.@ArianaGrande comments on "thank u, next" becoming her first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100: "for once, i don't really have words."https://t.co/wT0WX8PoiZ

The song, along with three others, made Billboard history.

For the first time this century, four songs have debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in a single calendar year: ‘God’s Plan’ by Drake, ‘Nice For What’ by Drake, ‘This Is America’ by Childish Gambino, and ‘thank u, next’ by Ariana Grande. pic.twitter.com/P7LPpZ2lDO

Ariana Grande (‘thank u, next’) joins Beyoncé (‘Perfect Duet’ w/ Ed Sheeran), Camila Cabello (‘Havana’ ft. Young Thug), and Cardi B (‘I Like It’ w/ Bad Bunny & J Balvin) as the only songs by a female as the lead artist to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this year. #thankunext pic.twitter.com/OhjAOmLf4q

Focusing on mental health issues, Kid Cudi and Kanye West formed the group Kids See Ghosts, and released an album of the same name in June. This weekend, the rappers performed their first show as a duo.

And they didn't just stick to Kids See Ghosts songs.

We thought Cudi & Ye might only perform tracks from their joint 'Kids See Ghosts' album, but they followed up "Welcome to Heartbreak" with "Paranoid" 🚨https://t.co/11bcekyEJU pic.twitter.com/kBB4Qzgj6m

But where is the tour? Fans like Tyler, The Creator want more.

we're really only a couple hours away from a Kids See Ghosts concert. Even just as a livestream, this is a show I've always dreamed of. I really hope we get a festival tour this summer.
