Spinning the Wheel: George Michael's 'Older' Prepped for Box Set Edition
The album George Michael called his "greatest moment" will get the deluxe treatment this summer: his third album, 1996's Older. Though the record came off a six-year gap between albums, the late British pop star was hardly idle. In the years since 1990's Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1, he'd embarked on a tour comprised of mostly cover songs and had a few major critical and commercial hits with some, too; chiefly, the chart-topping "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" (a duet with its

Having the Time of Your Life: ABBA to Release New Box Set of Complete Albums
Perhaps the biggest musical surprise of 2021 was the release of a brand-new ABBA album - 40 years after they took their final bow with The Visitors. A chart-topper in many countries around the world (it "only" hit No. 2 in America), Voyage hardly sounded as if four decades had passed thanks to dramatic tracks like "I Still Have Faith in You" (a Grammy nominee for Record of the Year this weekend, the band's first-ever nod from the Recording Academy), "Don't Shut Me Down" and "Just a Notion."
