Guns N’ Roses announced the dates for a massive 2026 world tour that will include a summertime North American run of stadiums and amphitheaters. The 60-plus show run is slated to kick off on March 28 in Monterrey, Mexico and take the veteran hard rock band across South America before moving to Europe in the early spring and summer and then kicking off North American dates on July 23 in Raleigh, N.C. at Cater-Finely Stadium.

Even more exciting for fans of the “Welcome to the Jungle” icons is that the announcement of the fresh dates came with the tease of new music, a rarity from the hard-touring band, in the form of two singles due out on Dec. 2: “Nothin'” and “Atlas.” The songs are the first new music from the Axl Rose-led group since 2023’s “The General.” The band has dropped a series of one-off singles over the past decade, but have not released a full-length album since their nearly 15-years-in-the-making sixth LP, 2008’s Chinese Democracy.

In This Season of Giving, Mariah Carey Shares Throwback Clip From 1994 Manifesting a Potential Christmas Classic One Day: ‘So Grateful’

MC only had to wait 25 years for her all-time holiday classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Mariah Carey is the undisputed Queen of Christmas. The pop singer has lorded over the holiday charts for the past six years with her ubiquitous wintertime classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It seems hard to believe it now if you’ve been anywhere near a store since Halloween, but the yuletide favorite that was released in 1994 did not chart until 2000 and did not hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 until 2019, fully 25 years after it first hit our ears.

Now, as the holidays really ramp up, the best-selling Christmas song of all time in the U.S. seems like a no-brainer to top the charts every year. But on Tuesday (Dec. 9), MC gave thanks for how it all started in a throwback video she re-posted from a fan feed of an interview she did in 1994 in which she was asked if she hopes one of the songs from her first holiday album, that year’s Merry Christmas, might some day be as ubiquitous as such standards as “White Christmas” or “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”
