Stereogum — Like many bands of yesteryear, the Scottish rockers Big Country, makers of the 1983 hit "In A Big Country," have splintered into various units on the touring circuit over the years. Also like many of those bands, they're now fighting about who gets to use the band name.

Stereogum — The story is told so often that it feels like myth: Before they joined Fleetwood Mac together and began an historic spree of easy listening West Coast rock excellence and intra-band romantic mess, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were a romantic couple who doubled as a musical duo. Their 1973 album Buckingham Nicks was out of print and off streaming services until a reissue last fall, but those business machinations did not actually involve Buckingham and Nicks reuniting. That might be about to change. The post Did Lindsey Buckingham Just Tease A Reunion With Stevie Nicks? appeared first on Stereogum. more info

Stereogum — Last time we checked in with Puerto Rican rapper Young Miko, she was interpolating Lil Wayne and Lil Jon on her single “WASSUP.” That was almost a year ago, and since then Miko has continued her ascent, including an appearance in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.

Stereogum — Before the public knew her as Miley Cyrus, she was Hannah Montana — a fake pop star that then became a very big, real pop star. This week, Cyrus is celebrating her roots — the wig where it all began. She put together a TV special that featured both of her parents, an interview with… The post Miley Cyrus Marks 20 Years Of Hannah Montana With New Single “Younger You” appeared first on Stereogum. more info

Stereogum — If Jay Z hadn't already written the line "I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man," the rappers of BTS probably would have. The band's four-year hiatus — an inevitability, as South Korea requires all men between ages 18 to 35 to temporarily serve in the military — has brought with it nearly unprecedented stakes. Their fervent fanbase is so central to the BTS narrative (and to BTS-related web traffic) that every news story about the band seems written directly, panderingly, and very carefully for fans and fans alone, as if the ARMYs exert a kind of psychic editorial control. BTS is so load-bearing for the K-pop industry that their personal fortunes have caused actual economic fluctuations. After the band's free(!) comeback concert drew a smaller-than-expected crowd, shares in their label Hybe fell 15.5%, a sell-off that Korean analysts called "baffling and confusing."  The post The Inevitable, Confusing Return Of BTS appeared first on Stereogum. more info
