The new plant will be the first new record plant to open in Detroit since 1965. (Pitchfork)

Here's another record to fall — this one jointly held by the Beatles and Drake. The record for most simultaneous tracks on Billboard's Hot 100 is now held by Justin Bieber, who currently has 17 (!) songs on the chart at once. The previous record was 14. An important asterisk: the inclusion of streaming services on the Hot 100 tally makes it much easier for artists to chart with multiple album tracks simultaneously. (Billboard)

Don't expect any "King Kunta" soundalikes on David Bowie's forthcoming album ★, but his producer Tony Visconti says that he and Bowie listened to a lot of Kendrick Lamar while making the album. "We wound up with nothing like that, but we loved the fact Kendrick was so open-minded and he didn't do a straight-up hip-hop record," Visconti told Rolling Stone. He also revealed that James Murphy plays percussion on two of the album's tracks. The album comes out on Jan. 8, Bowie's 69th birthday.

Just when you thought the list of guest on the new Coldplay album — a list that includes Blue Ivy Carter and Gwyneth Paltrow — couldn't get any more unusual, here comes Barack Obama.

Pickney, will appear on the title track of A Head Full of Dreams —reportedly with Obama's permission. (Billboard)
