Cher is one on an exclusive list of legendary female acts to boast having landed a Billboard 200 top 10 hit over four distinct decades, but with ‘Christmas‘ – her inaugural effort of the 2020s – she may be set to extend the record by another decade.

Her 27th studio album, ‘Christmas’ not only comes as her first LP of original material since 2013’s ‘Closer to the Truth‘ but it also marks her first holiday-flavored set.

Kicked off by the single ‘DJ Play a Christmas Song,’ the 13-track opus is lined with new tunes as well as the Pop icon’s take on yuletide classics like ‘Santa Baby,’ ‘What Christmas Means to Me,’ ‘Run Rudolph Run,’ and more.

A star-studded affair featuring the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Michael Buble, Stevie Wonder, Tyga, and more, hop inside to stream ‘Christmas’ courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.

The story of Baynard Rustin is set to be illuminated like never before. At long last.

One of most prolific activists of all time, the force forms the central focus of new Netflix-powered film ‘Rustin.’

Set to premiere next month on the streamer, the movie chronicles the unwavering spirit possessed by Baynard, who is played by Emmy winner Colman Domingo.

Unapologetic about who he was, Rustin never wavered on his beliefs or who he loved. A reality that saw him make history while (in many ways) being eradicated from it too. Until now.

Directed by 5-time Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe, ‘Rustin’ will celebrate the story of a man who dared to imagine a different world and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom alongside the likes of Martin Luther King Jr.

‘Rustin’ arrives in select theaters on November 3 ahead of its Netflix debut on November 17.
