A complete copy of these rules can be obtained by contacting radio station 96.3 WDVD (“Station”), located at 3011 West Grand Blvd, Suit 800, Detroit MI 48202 (“Market Office”), during available business hours Monday through Friday, on the Station website www.963WDVD.com, or by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the above address.

The Station will conduct the 96.3 WDVD’s “Iconic Detroit Series: The Calling” Contest (the “Contest”) substantially as described in these rules, and by participating, each entrant agrees as follows:

1. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. A purchase will not increase your chance of winning.   Void where prohibited.  All federal, state, and local regulations apply.

Eligibility.  This Contest is open only to legal U.S. residents that reside within a 100-mile radius from the Market Office, age eighteen (18) years or older at the time of entry with a valid Social Security number, who have not won a prize from the Station in the last 30 days or a prize valued at $500 or more in the last 180 days, and whose immediate family members or household members have not won a prize from the Station in the last 30 days or a prize valued at $500 or more in the 180 days. Void where prohibited by law.  Employees of Station, Detroit Radio LLC, and each of their parent companies, affiliates, related entities and subsidiaries, promotional sponsors, prize providers, advertising agencies, other radio stations serving the Station’s market, and the immediate family members and household members of all such employees are not eligible to participate. The term “immediate family members” includes spouses, parents and step-parents, siblings and step-siblings, and children and stepchildren.  The term “household members” refers to people who share the same residence at least three (3) months out of the year. The Contest is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Station’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

2. Contest Period. The Contest entry period will begin at 6:00am EST on October 30, 2026 and will run through November 5, 2026 (the “Contest Period”).  The Station’s computer is the official time keeping device for this Contest.
3. How to Enter.

On-Air:  Listen to the Station weekdays during the Contest Period.  When the Station plays the “cue-to-call” sounder, listeners must call the Station at 866-298-9630.  Caller (X) to the Station, as determined by the Station in its sole discretion, will be entered for a chance to win.  Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Internet Broadcast: Due to the time delay that exists between the Station’s analog over-the-air signal and the Station’s online webcast, listeners who listen to the Station online may hear the cue to call later than listeners listening to the Station’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener entering this Contest on-air may be diminished.

4. Verification of Potential Winner. THE ELIGIBILITY OF ALL POTENTIAL CONTEST WINNERS IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY STATION WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CONTEST. The potential winner must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. The potential winner may be notified by email and/or telephone call after the date of random drawing and/or winner determination. The potential winner will be required to sign and return to Station, within three (3) days of the date notice is sent, an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (except where prohibited) to claim the prize, if applicable.  A winner who returns the affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release will be deemed to have accepted the contest prize and thereafter will not be permitted to rescind their acceptance of the prize and/or return the prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the affidavit of eligibility and/or the liability/publicity release within the required time period (if applicable), or if the prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize. In the event that the potential winner of a prize is disqualified for any reason, Station may award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Unclaimed prizes may not be awarded.    
5. Five (5) prizes will be awarded in this Contest.  Each winner will receive: Two (2) tickets to see Noah Kahan at Ford Field June 10, 2027. Doors at 7.

The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of each prize is Seventy Dollars ($70). 

TOTAL ARV OF ALL CONTEST PRIZES IS: Seventy Dollars ($70).

Winner is responsible for all taxes associated with prize receipt and/or use.  Odds of winning a prize depend on a number of factors including the number of eligible entries received during the Contest Period and listeners participating at any given time.

There is no substitution, transfer, or cash equivalent for prizes, except that the Station may, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by law, substitute prizes of comparable value or cash.  The prizes are expressly limited to the item(s) listed above and do not include taxes, gratuities or any other expenses.  Any tickets and/or gift certificates/cards awarded as part of a prize will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth by the issuer and are valid only on the date(s) printed on the tickets or gift certificates/cards.  Other restrictions may apply.

Unveiled on October 27, the campaign, titled JOY: The Swarovski Musical, features the singer and actress in a one-minute video inspired by classic Hollywood musicals.

Grande opens the production wearing a white suit and top hat, performing alongside dancers on a grand staircase. The video moves through several elaborate scenes, including a pink feather-filled setting, a festive dollhouse, and a ballet sequence inspired by Swan Lake.

An orchestral soundtrack blends jazz and classical styles as Grande showcases jewelry from Swarovski’s Millenia, Una, Mesmera, and Vienna collections.

The campaign continues Grande’s partnership with Swarovski, which named her a global brand ambassador in July 2024. She has since appeared in several promotional projects for the company.

The holiday release also follows the conclusion of Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour in September 2026.

With theatrical costumes, coordinated choreography, and seasonal decorations, the campaign combines Grande’s performance background with Swarovski’s holiday jewelry collection.

The three-time Grammy Award winner delivered “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the Tampa Bay Rays faced the Milwaukee Brewers. Speaking ahead of the game, NE-YO explained that his preparation included reviewing the lyrics and completing vocal exercises to ensure a traditional performance.

The R&B singer stood with his hat at his side as an American flag was displayed behind him during the ceremony.

NE-YO joined a lineup of artists who performed the national anthem throughout the series, including Mickey Guyton, Kylie Cantrall, and Carly Pearce.

The appearance also added to his history of performing at major sporting events. He previously sang at the 2016 NBA All-Star Game and appeared during the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament final.

Beyond sports, NE-YO continues to explore different musical styles. In July 2026, he released Highway 79, a country-inspired album marking another chapter in his recording career.

The latest chart rankings place Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters at the top of the list with 66 weeks at No. 1. The achievement puts it ahead of Disney’s Moana, which previously held the record with 62 weeks.

Other animated favorites have also enjoyed extended runs. Frozen II ranks third with 51 weeks, followed by the original Frozen with 44 weeks and Encanto with 41.

Beyond animated films, several other soundtracks have maintained a strong chart presence. The Greatest Showman and O Brother, Where Art Thou? have each spent 34 weeks at No. 1, while Barbie: The Album has recorded 33 weeks.

The holiday classic A Charlie Brown Christmas has also earned a place among the leaders with 31 weeks.

Launched on June 30, 2001, the Top Soundtracks chart tracks the popularity of soundtrack albums across different entertainment genres.

In a recent interview for the Unbound Japan series, the 28-year-old producer discussed his journey from Canberra to Sydney before relocating to Japan in 2025.

Perry helped create KATSEYE’s 2024 hit “Touch” during a songwriting session in Sydney. The track was inspired by his interest in NewJeans and eventually reached HYBE through producer Cashmere Cat. Perry admitted he had no idea how successful the song would become.

His career also includes collaborations with Japanese group MAZZEL and Australian singer Ruel.

Perry explained that Japanese music stands out for its detailed arrangements, creative melodies, and unexpected key changes. He believes those characteristics can remain intact while reaching international listeners.

Looking ahead, Perry hopes to strengthen connections between Japanese artists and musicians overseas. He also emphasized the importance of personal relationships and in-person collaboration when building a career across different music markets.

The couple, Marivel and Frankie, became part of the singer’s latest release after getting engaged during his October 7 concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Frankie proposed while Styles performed “Coming Up Roses” on the piano, prompting cheers from the audience and catching the singer’s attention.

The moment eventually led to an invitation for the couple to participate in the song’s official music video, released October 26.

Set inside a vintage-style dance hall, the video features Styles dancing with several partners while other couples share the floor. Marivel and Frankie appear together in a group dance scene.

Following the release, Marivel celebrated the experience on Instagram, sharing behind-the-scenes photos and expressing gratitude to Styles. She also showed flowers the singer had sent.

Their appearance adds a personal connection to the video, bringing a real-life engagement from Styles’ concert into the song’s visual story.

The 34-year-old singer shared an Instagram photo showing an IV in her arm and a hospital wristband. In her post, Lovato suggested that passionfruit or sushi may have caused the reaction, although the exact trigger has not been confirmed.

Following a medical evaluation, Lovato was discharged from the hospital. She later reassured fans that she was doing fine, offering some relief after her unexpected health update.

The singer subsequently deleted the Instagram posts documenting the incident. No additional details about the reaction or her treatment have been publicly confirmed.

Lovato has previously spoken about her experiences with allergies, making the recent incident another reminder of the unpredictable nature of allergic reactions.

The hospitalization comes during an active period in her music career. Lovato released her ninth studio album, It’s Not That Deep, in October 2025, continuing her work as a recording artist.

For now, Lovato’s latest update indicates that she has recovered from the immediate health scare.

Billboard confirmed that the song generated 55.9 million worldwide streams and 6,000 sales during the tracking week of October 16 through October 22. The single, released October 15 alongside its official music video, also earned 34.9 million streams outside the United States.

The achievement gives the Canadian pop star her second No. 1 on both global rankings, following “Greedy,” which topped the charts in 2023 and 2024. However, “Housewife” marks her first single to debut directly at No. 1 on either chart.

McRae also performed the song at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 18.

Elsewhere on the Billboard Global 200, Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan climbed to No. 2 with “Expectations,” while Zach Bryan and Lana Del Rey debuted at No. 5 with “Lies.”

The latest rankings reflect streaming and digital sales activity across more than 200 territories.

During a backstage interview at the Grindr Pleasure Ball in Manhattan on October 22, the comedian, actress, and singer discussed her debut album Crave, her Christian faith, and her admiration for country artist Ella Langley.

Stalter revealed that Langley’s song Speaking Terms brought her to tears after she attended one of the singer’s concerts. The ballad explores faith and the desire to reconnect with God.

Known for her role in Hacks, Stalter also spoke about being a gay Christian and why she believes LGBTQ+ people should feel welcome expressing their spirituality.

Her debut album Crave, released in September, combines electropop with humor and personal storytelling. It also features a contribution from country star Kacey Musgraves.

Stalter confirmed her love for country music and suggested the genre might influence her next album.

For now, no official follow-up project has been announced, but country music remains a possibility.

During the 2026 gala, Brad Paisley introduced Swift, while Lainey Wilson performed her hit Love Story in recognition of her songwriting career.

In her acceptance speech, Swift reflected on her early years in Nashville, where she moved as a teenager to pursue music. She also discussed how the city shaped her approach to writing songs and developing her career.

Country music legend George Strait received the Career Maker Award, recognizing his longtime support of songwriters through his recordings. Nearly 50 Hall of Fame songwriters joined Strait onstage during the presentation.

The evening also recognized new inductees Lyle Lovett, Shawn Camp, Lee Thomas Miller, Bruce Channel, and the late J.I. Allison.

The ceremony highlighted Nashville’s songwriting legacy and the artists whose work continues to connect generations of music listeners.
