During the week of November 14, 2021, ABBA's "Voyage" debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and became their highest charting album in the U.S. The Swedish pop legends also released their first-ever holiday single, "Little Things."
Also that week, CBS announced the upcoming annual National Christmas Tree Lighting in Washington, D.C. to air on December 5, 2021. Featured performers will include R&B legend Patti LaBelle.
Aerosmith premiered a rare 1971 recording of "Movin' Out" on their official YouTube channel. This song will be featured on the band's upcoming limited-edition album, "1971: The Road Starts Here," to be offered at the 2021 Record Store Day Black Friday event taking place on November 26 at various record stores across the country.
Finally, Paul McCartney's "The Lyrics: 1956 To The Present" was named by Barnes & Noble as the 2021 Book of the Year. This collection covers 154 songs that the ex-Beatle penned throughout his career along with commentaries and also features handwritten lyric sheets, rough drafts, personal photos, and drawings.
