Studio Ghibli is one of the most beloved animation studios in the world.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The latest episode of Variety‘s “Strictly Business” podcast features Aaron Dessner — the man Swifties are indebted to for collaborating on big chunks of “Folklore” and “Evermore,” but who more than earned his keep for a quarter-century prior to that as a member of the exalted-in-their-own-right band the National. Dessner’s Grammy-winning group has been one of the mainstays of rock ’n roll since the late ’90s.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic What part of fast in “Fast Car” did anyone not understand? Country superstar Luke Combs’ cover of the 1988 Tracy Chapman classic proved to be as turbocharged as anything acoustically based in this world can be, with unexpected multi-format success: It was No. 1 at adult pop and country for two weeks each; a healthy No. 6 at Top 40 radio; No.

Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer “It’s more than a concert,” says Beyoncé near the beginning of her sprawling concert movie “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.” “It’s a culture, it’s a state of mind, it’s a release, it’s a fantasy come true.” For fans who were able to catch the record-breaking Renaissance World Tour before its conclusion in early October, they know that all too well. Throughout the trek, Beyoncé created a community among her admirers — affectionately known as the Beyhive — for a tour that ended up becoming a coup for the superstar, finishing as the highest-grossing tour by a Black artist and the eighth-highest-grossing tour of all time.

As a recent new grandfather, Mads Mikkelsen couldn’t be happier, but he doesn’t smile much in his new movie. An earthy 18th-century period piece, The Promised Land sees the Dane play a hard-up veteran, Ludvig Kahlen, who is determined to turn the blasted heaths of Jutland into a thriving farmland. It’s a Western of sorts, which becomes noticeably clearer when Kahlen starts to cross swords with a competing local landowner, but, for Mikkelsen, it’s a subversive  alpha male story of the kind he does so well, from the brutal Viking fantasy Valhalla Rising to the white-cold survival drama Arctic.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music If there is a bible for the music industry, it’s Donald Passman’s book, “All You Need to Know About the Music Business.” Since the first edition came out more than 30 years ago, it has guided countless musicians and executives, and has prevented many of them from making decisions they’d later regret. Considering the deep detail Passman gets into about contracts, royalties and other complicated business arrangements, his tone is remarkably conversational, and he makes sure readers don’t miss the important stuff: The section on business managers begins with him saying “Listen to me!!!” in italics with several exclamation marks.

If you’re a fan of The Rolling Stones, you’re probably familiar with the life of Brian Jones, one of the founding members who would go on to depart the band before they really reached their pinnacle. Jones’ story is, sadly, very similar to many rock geniuses of that era, a life consumed by fame, drugs, and all the other temptations, ending in the only way it could.
