Welcome to The List,
The BEST part of the 4th of July other than food and friends has GOT to be fireworks but Brett Young says he didn’t like setting off fireworks when he was a kid … “I enjoyed watching them from afar. and I was like a very cautious, almost fearful kid. I was afraid that one was gonna blow up in my hand or something and so if we’d go to an event where I could watch from afar I was into to it, but I never wanted to be the one setting them off.”

Chris Young says he’s looking forward to a much better July 4th this year.. “Probably the thing that I’m most excited about for is just the Fourth of July itself. Obviously last year, no one really got a Fourth of July experience, and so, this year with things starting to open up, it looks like it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

With all the Re-boots being made of favorite movies would you ever think there would be one of E.T.? Well, there had been ideas kicked around over the years. But reports are only that the Xfinity commercial that debuted during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is about as close as we’re going to get. And as far as Spielberg is willing to allow. Many thought it was a teaser trailer but…no…

Spotify is quietly testing a new Karaoke mode that cuts the vocals of a song so you can sing along. Then it gives you an accuracy rating. It’s only being offered to some users now, so not everyone has it. Spotify hasn’t even announced it yet, Those who HAVE it will see a “sing” button in the corner of a song’s icon. If you push it, it cuts the vocals so only the music is playing, allowing you to sing along. If you don’t have this feature, you can try updating that app. If you still don’t have it . . . well, you’ll just have to hope they roll it out for everyone.
You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson and former NFL quarterback Devlin "Duck" Hodges were one of country music's most beloved couples of 2024, so it's only natural that fans are buzzing about whether they might be taking the next step and tying the knot sometime soon. Bunnie Xo is wondering, too. She confessed to Wilson that she's "manifesting" a wedding for her in 2025. Lainey has even offered to propose to HIM!!

It's not too unusual for Luke Combs to tease new music before releasing it, but this time, he's got one important question to go along with his unreleased demo. "Who should I duet this with?" he asked fans as he posted a clip of something that appears to be titled "More Less Than Perfect." Combs' new song is a love ballad with lyrics that appear to be directed at a person who fell in love with him, even though he thinks he doesn't deserve her attention.

Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her "It Ends with Us" co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, according to court docs…as well as the film’s production company, Wayfarer Studios. Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department on Dec. 20. On Dec. 31, Baldoni and his publicists also sued the New York Times for libel, after the news outlet published a Dec. 20 article about Lively's claims that she'd been the victim of a smear campaign after speaking up about sexual harassment on the set of "It Ends with Us."

And lastly, Megan Markle started the new year with a fresh Instagram post from a newly launched account. In it, the Duchess of Sussex happily runs barefoot along the sand on a beach while wearing a white button-up shirt and a pair of white jeans rolled up above the ankle. Writing 20-25 in the sand before running out of the shot. Though the former “Suits” actress, 43, turned off the comments for the post, several stars showed their support by “liking” it, including her pals Serena Williams and Chrissy Teigen.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
