Dance-music kingpin David Dollimore is launching Disorder Records with Geffen Records U.S., aiming to "define the global sound of tomorrow."

Geffen star, chart rocket and Grammy magnet Olivia Rodrigo brings her lively charisma to a photo op with Team iHeart on the occasion of her appearance at the iHeartRadio KIIS-FM Jingle Ball at L.A.’s Kia Forum. Among those who didn’t have the heart to say out loud where this photo would run are (l-r) iHeart CEO Bob Pittman and President of Entertainment Enterprises John Sykes, Rodrigo, Chief Programming Officer Tom Poleman and VP CHR Programming Mark Adams. Later, per tradition, a sprig of mistletoe was hung over a pile of callout-research printouts.

“Blimey, I’m bloody knackered. Can someone put the kettle on?” asks Big Loud/Mercury/Republic superstar and 2023 U.S. album leader Morgan Wallen during his recent trip to the U.K., which included a sold-out performance at London’s O2 Arena and the bestowal of a plaque. Replied UMG U.K. chief David Joseph, “Git 'er done.” Big Loud boss Seth England, meanwhile, quietly hoped there’d be a tray of McVitie’s bickies. Later, there was a bracing tour of Roman-era underfloor-heating ruins.

The next original podcast to emerge from Gunpowder & Sky’s partnership with Audible will be Lighters in the Sky, a series about legendary live performances. It premieres tomorrow.
