Lisa Kennedy Every now and again, a documentary filmmaker finds a bona fide star to pin the meaning of her film on, a figure so compelling she leaves a comet trail of thoughts and feelings after the movie’s end. Isabel Castro’s “Mija” boasts two: music manager Doris Muñoz and singer Jacks Haupt. Make that three, including the writer-director herself.
Music: 2021 was a good year for Wallen, Adele — and vinyl

NEW YORK -- New data from the music industry confirms what a lot of people long suspected — 2021 was a very good year for Morgan Wallen, Adele and vinyl.MRC Data's year-end report, presented in collaboration with Billboard, showed that Wallen’s “Dangerous: The Double Album” ended 2021 as both the top country album of the year and the most popular album across all genres, with 3.2 million equivalent album units earned during the year.That's despite Wallen being rebuked by the music industry after a video surfaced showing him blurting out a racial slur. The singer was dropped by his label, disqualified from the Academy of Country Music Awards, and his music was temporarily pulled by radio stations and streaming services.Other top albums in 2021 include Olivia Rodrigo's “SOUR,” Pop Smoke's “Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon" and Doja Cat's “Planet Her.” Dua Lipa's single “Levitating” was unstoppable, with 804.7 million on-demand audio and video streams, the top hit of the year.Adele's album “30” arrived late last year and she recorded the highest album sales debut in four years, with first-week sales of 839,000 equivalent units.
It was the biggest-selling album debut since Taylor Swift’s "Reputation" in 2017. Adele's previous album, 2015’s “25,” still holds the record for most albums sold in a single week, with 3.38 million copies.Drake's “Certified Lover Boy” was 2021’s most popular rap album in the U.S., with 1.97 million equivalent album units earned.
Masked Wolf’s “Astronaut in the Ocean” was the most-consumed rap song of 2021. Bad Bunny's “El Último Tour Del Mundo” was the top Latin album.And in this digital age — audio on-demand streaming set a single-year high with 988.1 billion streams — there was also a big step
