The most popular American-made music biopics

The best-selling 2023 memoir 'The Woman in Me,' by the one and only Britney Spears, has been picked up by Universal Pictures. The studio secured the rights to the singer's book and has announced Jon M. Chu as the director. Chu is known for directing movies like 'Crazy Rich Asians' (2018) and the upcoming musical film 'Wicked' starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. The actress who will play Spears has yet to be determined but the singer reportedly reserves veto rights when it comes to who will take on the starring role. The project is still in its infancy and very few details are available as of yet. However, producer Marc Platt is also on board, and both he and Chu have a history of creating musical movies. There's speculation that they may have snagged the rights to Britney's catalog and are planning to bring the biopic to life with her music. Platt also worked on 'Wicked' (2024), as well as 'The Little Mermaid' (2023) and 'Dear Evan Hansen' (2021). Biographical films are so beloved because they unearth the deeply complex, violent, exciting, and inspiring worlds that lie beneath artists' songs. Check out this gallery to see some of the most popular American-made biographical films about legendary musicians.

The best sad songs to cry to

The beautiful thing about music is that there's a song for every single mood out there, including every kind of sadness. Whether it's a devastating breakup, a melancholic memory of a loved one, or a general anguish about existence, there's a minor chord for you. Though it may seem masochistic, our indulgence in sad music is actually for good reason. Research suggests that music filled with sorrow can make you happier than joyful songs. By identifying and empathizing with lyrics, you ultimately understand that others share similar experiences of rejection, loss, unrequited love, or other kinds of sadness, and you realize you're not so alone. Click through to see a list of some of the saddest songs to ever draw pools of salty tears from listeners.

Sound waves: the origins of the surf music craze

Mention surf songs, and the Beach Boys immediately hang ten in the minds of many. But the surf music genre owes its creation to several innovative musicians, individuals like the great guitarist DickDale and the harmonious duo known as Jan and Dean. Originating in California in the early 1960s, the surf sound developed from instrumental rock and evolved into vocal surf music, collectively known as the California Sound. Along the way, a part of this genre was reimagined as hot-rod music. But it all testified to the joys of California youth and the brief window between 1962 and 1964 when the world was all about boards, cars, and girls. And all these years later, the sound waves still reverberate. Click through and revisit the California surf scene of the early 1960s and the memorable music that provided its optimistic, sun-soaked soundtrack.
