World Music Day (June 21): Malaysia’s communications minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil urged support for local artists, saying music helps shape cultural identity and brings people together. Global Music Day, India focus: A World Music Day special spotlights how Hindi film songs and female playback voices carry memory and emotion across generations. Taylor Swift on the charts: “I Knew It, I Knew You” debuts at No. 8 on Billboard’s Country Airplay, making Swift one of the rare acts to land a top-10 debut in the format. K-pop wins big: ATEEZ took the Grand Prize at the 35th Seoul Music Awards, with BOYNEXTDOOR and others sweeping multiple trophies. Live music, health scare: Rod Stewart nearly fainted during a Utah show, used an oxygen tank, then finished seated. Royalties dispute: South African singer Mduduzi Ncube claims Inkabi Records owes him R234,670; label-linked Big Zulu disputes it. Community music events: Athens marked World Music Day with free concerts, while Widnes plans a borough-wide Beatles tribute for Global Beatles Day.
