The List for Thursday, October 26th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Who is your favorite horror movie villain of all time? AVClub.com ranked the 40 greatest and to make it simpler, they disqualified animals, sorry “Jaws” and “Cujo”.  Freddy Krueger from “A Nightmare on Elm Street” at #1.  He’s followed by Michael Myers from “Halloween” and Chucky from “Child’s Play”.

Madonna has been officially certified by Guinness World Records as the biggest-selling female recording artist of all time. I should say she’s been RE-certified, because she’s held the record since 2009, and no one else even comes close. The Top 5 is rounded out by Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé. While she’s the best-selling female artist, she’s only fourth on the all-time list, behind The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson.

Jelly Roll shared a video of an eighth-grader in West Virginia, who won his school’s talent show with a cover of “Save Me”.  And this follow-up video is equally cool:  The kid found out Jelly shared it when his school announced it over the P.A. SYSTEM the next day….who’s the coolest kid in school now!

Even Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards can get star struck….He says he was in awe when he met Merle Haggard in 2004.  “I turn around to my right, and there’s this other cat sitting next to me. He’s wearing one of those straw Stetsons and a grizzled beard, and he looks at me and gives me a grin and I give him a grin.  I get through two more bars of this song, and suddenly I realize it’s Merle Haggard. And I almost lost it.

As more is being released from Britney Spears memoir she reveals that she had a paranormal experience after her breakup with Justin Timberlake. TMZ says the experience occurred while she was driving through the Arizona desert.  Britney believes it was a sign from a higher power.  Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake is “not happy” with her new memoir. He has not reached out to her because he has nothing to say to her.

—–

Garth Brooks is releasing a new album called “Time Traveler” on November 7th.  It’s part of a massive “Limited Series” 7-CD box set, and you can ONLY get it at a Bass Pro Shops store . . . or at BassPro.com
