Throughout their 40+ year career, they have released 6 studio albums and 2 greatest hits collections. They have had 6 US Top 40 hits, including a massive #1 single. They composed and performed the complete score for the 1984 neo-noir action thriller film "To Live and Die in L.A.” and also the song 'Fire in the Twilight’ for the legendary film "The Breakfast Club," amongst many others.  In the process of all of this (and somewhat unintentionally), Wang Chung became part of the contemporary culture of North America with their huge smash 'Everybody Have Fun Tonight,' with its now famous line ''Everybody Wang Chung Tonight'' which saw the invention of a new US verb: ''to Wang Chung'."Can you tell me what a Wang Chung is? Part 1…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kS_RdjLpZMCan you tell me what a Wang Chung is? Part 2…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DgboI7eXk0In 2024 Wang Chung’s hit song 'Dance Hall Days’ was featured almost in its entirety in the 2024 hit movie starring Anne Hathaway titled 'The Idea of You.'  'To Live and Die in LA' also got used as the theme tune for the John Mulaney Netflix show ‘Everybody’s in LA.' And now, fans will be able to experience all of Wang Chung's classics via 'Clear Light/Dark Matter.'From Wang Chung:"Our songs often have an accessible front end, but there's always a deeper layer beneath the surface—whether it's lyrically or musically. 'Clear Light, Dark Matter' reflects that balance between the light and the dark, the yin and yang, or as we like to say, the Wang and the Chung of what we do.” -Nick Feldman 2024 was certainly a successful year for Wang Chung, starting off spectacularly last February with the first US landing on the Moon since 1972. The Moon lander’s data storage unit had all Wang Chung’s album covers together with photos of Nick and Jack and their families uploaded onto it. Later in the year, 'Dance Hall Days' was featured almost in its entirety in the aforementioned smash hit movie starring Anne Hathaway, titled 'The Idea of You’.  'To Live and Die in L.A.' also got used as the theme tune for the John Mulaney Netflix show 'Everybody's in LA.' On the live front, the band continued to wow audiences wherever they played throughout their extensive touring in 2024. 2025 looks to be even more notable for Wang Chung, with the release of ‘Clear Light Dark Matter’ and ‘Live at El Mocambo’, as well as even more touring in North America, Australia, UK and around the world throughout the year. Plus the band plans to mark the 40th anniversary of ‘To Live and Die in LA’ later in the year….details to come on that.  Founded in 2019, Seattle-based SING Inc. is a music technology company specializing in deluxe collector’s editions and high-fidelity vinyl records.

Samuel L. Jackson, popular for his dynamic roles in action-packed films such as Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, and The Hateful Eight, recently celebrated legendary actor, Bruce Willis on his 70th birthday, which marked on Wednesday, March 19. The actor took the opportunity to honor Willis whom he had the opportunity to work with in the third film of then Die Hard franchise. In his tribute, Jackson reflected on a piece of advice he got from the Moonlighting star, which he claimed was a very valuable one as it played an important role in his journey to achieve an outstanding professional career. Samuel L. Jackson says Bruce Willis advised him to seek enduring acting roles DIE HARD: WITH A VENGEANCE, from left: Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, 1995, TM & Copyright © 20th Century Fox Film Corp./courtesy Everett Collection In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the 76-year-old recalled the career-defining conversation he had with Willis during their collaboration on the production set of Die Hard With A Vengeance in 1994. He explained that The Sixth Sense star shared insights with him on how to navigate the unpredictable nature of the movie industry, emphasizing the importance of seeking enduring roles that could serve as a cushioning during career downturns. To elaborate his point, Willis referred to his own role as John McClane in the Die Hard franchise as a good example of a character that can define an actor’s career also provided lasting relevance and opportunities. He also mentioned Arnold Schwarzenegger’s legacy with the Terminator series and Sylvester Stallone’s double achievements with both his Rocky and Rambo characters. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson/Instagram Samuel L. Jackson claims Bruce Willis’ advice came at the right time Just like Willis had advised, Jackson landed his own signature character when he was cast as Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the post-credit scene of 2008’s Iron Man, a role that has now become one of the most iconic ones in his career.

Paul McCartney never hid his admiration for Elvis Presley. As a teenager in Liverpool, he studied Elvis’ music, mimicked his style, and even tried to move like him. “There’s only one person in the world I’ve ever asked for an autograph,” McCartney once admitted. “Elvis Presley.” The Beatles’ music was shaped by The King. However, things didn’t end well between them. Years later, McCartney stood at Elvis’s grave at Graceland to pay tribute to him. It proved that despite the bad blood between both parties before Elvis’ demise, McCartney had gotten over it. Elvis Presley died in 1977 at the age of 42. The official cause of death was a heart attack, but his long-term prescription drug use is believed to have contributed to his death. Paul McCartney dropped his guitar pick to honor Elvis Presley Paying Respects #OutThere at #Graceland pic.twitter.com/eCV1FXCzed — Paul McCartney (@PaulMcCartney) May 26, 2013   In 2013, McCartney visited Graceland and took a tour around the legendary home that once belonged to his musical hero. He saw Elvis’ guitars, his records, and the famous Jungle Room. He even played Elvis’ guitars, which were kept in the archives and frequently tuned by staff. Surprisingly, one thing both musicians have in common is that they play by ear. They lacked the ability to read sheet music. Despite doing all these amazing things, and seeing impressive things at Graceland, it was the Meditation Garden, where Elvis is buried, that got people talking. When McCartney got to the grave, he pulled out his own guitar pick, and left it there. It was a personal tribute from one musician to another. He stated that the guitar pick was so that Elvis could play in heaven. Elvis Presley/Instagram Paul McCartney was impressed by Elvis Presley’s gold and platinum records While touring Graceland, McCartney also got a close look at Elvis’s gold and platinum records lining the walls. “He had millions of them!” McCartney said, clearly impressed. “It was very special to see.” He added that he thought the Beatles had gold records until he went to Graceland, it was then he realised that Elvis has the most Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum sales of all of us… Paul McCartney/Instagram Despite The Beatles’ massive success, McCartney never lost sight of what Elvis meant to his music. “Before Elvis, there was nothing,” John Lennon famously said. McCartney honored Elvis throughout his career. Even after surpassing records and setting new ones, he still saw Elvis as the King.

The show was hoping to jump on the success of the film but it didn't go totally as planned.
