Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticThe story of women in country music is being written anew every day, but it needs its actual scriveners, too, to keep a record of what progress is or isn’t being made in a genre that sometimes has wavered between nourishing and ignoring its queens. That role has been well-filled in recent years by music journalist Marissa R.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticIf there were an award to bestow for the most accomplished living American pop songwriter who never doubled as a recording artist, the frontrunner would almost definitely be Mike Stoller, 89, half of one of the most famous writing duos of all time, Leiber & Stoller. Even if the memory of Elvis Presley were completely wiped away, like the Beatles’ in that “Yesterday” movie, this pairing would still be in the history books and collective consciousness for “Stand by Me,” “On Broadway,” “There Goes My Baby,” “Young Blood,” “Kansas City,” “Love Potion #9,” “Yakety Yak,” “Charlie Brown,” “I’m a Woman,” “Ruby Baby,” “Is That All There Is?” and other numbers deeply embedded in pop culture from the mid-‘50s forward.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticAccording to Stephen Schwartz, nothing can follow “Defying Gravity.” And for the “Wicked” songwriter, that’s one key reason why the movie version of his blockbuster Broadway musical has to be split into two parts.It’s not just about overall length, the composer is saying — it’s about the audience needing a breather after one of the great Act 1 closers of all time. (Even if that breather is 12 months of moviegoers going on with their daily business, versus 20 minutes cooling their heels outside a Broadway house.)“We found it very difficult to get past ‘Defying Gravity’ without a break,” Schwartz says.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticIt may be a polarizing album, but the public is voting with its streams on Drake’s dance-oriented new music, and he seems to be winning listeners over with his change of direction, or at least drawing huge numbers of fans to give it a first listen. His “Honestly, Nevermind” has bowed at the top of the Billboard 200 album chart with an impressive 204,000 album-equivalent units. A single from the album that has 21 Savage as his featured guest, “Jimmy Cooks,” debuted at No 1 on the Hot 100.The 204,000 first-week number for “Honestly, Nevermind” is huge by the standard of nearly all other debuting albums in 2022.
