Gabby Barrett’s Charlie Puth remix of “I Hope” becomes the most-heard song on US radio

ABC/Image Group LAEarlier this year, Charlie Puth gave Gabby Barrett a leg up in conquering the pop world when he singer, songwriter and producer reached out to the rising country star via Instagram and asked to remix her hit debut single, “I Hope.”
The rest is history: The new version of “I Hope” shot to the top of Billboard’s Adult Pop Songs, Pop Songs and Adult Contemporary charts, and now the song is taking down yet another big chart milestone. Billboard reports that Charlie and Gabby’s “I Hope” has climbed to the top of its Radio Songs chart, becoming the most-heard song on U.S. radio overall.
In the same breath, the remix reaches a new high spot on Billboard’s Hot 100, jumping from number eight to number six.
Earlier this month, Gabby admitted that her crossover success has her pinching herself, as she never dreamed she’d be charting alongside some of pop music’s biggest names.
“It’s mind-blowing being put up next to names like Harry Styles and The Weeknd and people that are just huge,” she said. “So I don’t even think people listen to my music that are up there! Not even Charlie...but I guess he does!”
When it comes to the 2020 CMA Awards next month, Gabby’s hit song is giving her even more to “Hope” for: It is nominated for Single of the Year, and also helped the rising star score a nod in the New Artist of the Year category.

Cheryl Burke performs alongside AJ McLean on 'DWTS' despite head injury

ABC/Eric McCandlessIt was a real possibility that AJ McLean would be dancing with a new partner Monday night after dance pro Cheryl Burke suffered a terrifying head injury while rehearsing the day before.
Dancing with the Stars, which celebrated all things scary for a special Halloween-themed episode, experienced a terrifying situation when Burke slipped during stage rehearsal.
The two took a tumble when practicing their tango, with Burke slamming her head hard on the ballroom floor. McLean added that he heard her head striking the floorboards and called for medical assistance.
Footage of the accident's aftermath showed the dancer putting on a brave face while pressing an ice pack to her injury.
Burke's ability to perform on Monday was temporarily thrown into question, but the dance pro powered through the pain to join her partner on the ballroom floor for their tense and creepy tango, which paid homage to the horror film Psycho.
Judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough praised their complicated routine and, of course, Cheryl for toughing it out.
When asked by host Tyra Banks about her injuries, Burke joked, "I think I hurt my rotator cuff more than my neck. But, I'm hard-headed, thank god, right?"
McLean chimed in, saying he took her injury to heart and was mortified that she was injured in the first place.
"She's a freaking trooper," the Backstreet Boy praised, noting to Banks that all he wanted to do was protect his friend the moment he heard her head hit the floor. "She's family now. I got to protect her, just like she does for me."
The pair placed third Monday night, earning an overall score of 26 out of 30.
DWTS returns Monday and, with it, a surprise double elimination, 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Lady Gaga rolls up in a Tesla to drop off her absentee ballot in style

Stuart C. Wilson/Getty ImagesWith early voting underway in several states, Lady Gaga took advantage of avoiding the extensive polling lines and dropped off her ballot Monday night.
Of course, the "Rain on Me" singer arrived in style to perform her civic duty.
Pulling up to the official ballot drop off box in what appears to be a Tesla Falcon -- due to the passenger door lifting upwards -- Gaga carefully exits the vehicle wearing metallic pink knee high platform boots and a comfy looking gray sweater with an "I voted" sticker pressed upon it.
Of course, she is also wearing a black mask that is emblazoned with the name of her latest studio album, Chromatica in teal print.
The 11-time Grammy Award winner then confidently struts over to the ballot box as her song "Babylon" thrums in the background, flips open the hatch and carefully inserts her voting papers. Once she's through, the 34-year-old strikes a triumphant pose before the video cuts out.
"Category: Ballot Drop Off Realness," Gaga captioned her short film.
The singer previously announced her ballot had come in the mail on Saturday and encouraged her fans to take advantage of the voting option that best suited their needs.
"Ballot’s here! And it’s #VoteEarlyDay," Gaga said at the time while sharing a photo of her happily holding up her absentee ballot. "Today’s the perfect day to join the 46 million people who have already cast their ballots in the 2020 election."
At the time, she encouraged her fans to make a voting plan so their voice is heard during the upcoming presidential election, which is officially a week away!

The 22-track collection features Murray’s personal favorites from all of her past Christmas albums since 1981. One of those favorites is her duet with Michael on the classic, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” which was originally featured on 2008's Anne Murray’s Christmas Album.

“Anne Murray is the Canadian Queen of Music,” Michael says in a statement. “Not only is she one of my favorite singers and entertainers, but she's also one of my favorite human beings of all time.”

He continues, “When you meet her, she's exactly who you'd hope she would be. I can't tell you how thrilled I am, that she'll be sharing a collection of her favorite Christmas recordings with all of us. Truth be told, if Anne released an album of her singing names from the phonebook, I'd buy 20 copies of the damn thing. Enjoy, Merry Christmas, and long live the Queen!!!”
