Adele‘s ’25’ is smashing something serious in its second week on sale.

The album is benefitting in earnest from the singer’s rejection of streaming services. Indeed, as at writing, the ‘Hello’ led LP is capitalising on its immense buzz by being only available to buy. No Spotify, no Apple Music, no Tidal.

With streaming now factoring into chart positions, many have been wondering why the Brit-bred belter has adopted such a position.

Wonder no more, because the songbird has spilled on her stance.

‘Get Lifted’ beau John Legend lifts his voice and a glass for Euro beer brand Stella Artois’ ‘Give Beautifully’ holiday campaign.

With the ballad ‘Under the Stars,’ Legend and co. incorporated sounds from actual stars (you read that right) to help fill out its instrumentation.  According to the press release sent to announce the song’s arrival, stars create unique audible tones that derive from the very frequencies that can change their levels of brightness.  Those sounds were then combined and manipulated to accompany John’s tickled ivories to produce one stirring number.

Don’t just take our word for it, hear the celestial creation below:

‘Creed’ dealt a dynamite blow to all box office projections this week.

The boxing flick, which continues the ‘Rocky’ legacy, capped off with a five-day domestic total of $42.6 million.

Impressive on a number of fronts, the figure is particularly noteworthy because it means the Michael B. Jordan film bests initial estimates ($35 million) by a considerable margin. What’s more, the sum sees the movie (which smartly co-stars Sylvester Stallone) become the most successful ‘Rocky’ movie launch of all-time – topping the $21 million debut of Stallone’s last stint as lead [2006’s ‘Rocky Balboa’].

With industry analysts predicting a $100 million eventual total for ‘Creed’ (which had a $35 million budget), its 29-year director Ryan Coogler and all involved have much to smile about.

That Grape Juice’s Megan Thomas caught up with Michael B. Jordan at the movie’s Los Angeles premiere. Watch above as he gushes about the role that’s set to blast his star into the stratosphere.
