Nearly half of the fan interest in Harry Styles’ 30-show residency at Madison Square Garden is coming from outside the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area, according to data from Bandsintown. The platform found that 49.4% of RSVP interest across the full run originates outside the tri-state, including 11.5% from international fans, with Pennsylvania, California, Texas, Massachusetts and Florida accounting for nearly 18% of total RSVPs.

The pattern varies by date, Bandsintown says. Opening night skewed more local, with 60.8% of RSVPs coming from the tri-state area. By contrast, the October 31 “Harryween” show is shaping up as a major draw for out-of-town fans, with 61.2% of interest coming from outside the region — the only date in the run where outside interest exceeds local demand, according to the data. Bandsintown reports that date is tracking at roughly three times the RSVP activity and 3.2 times the ticket-click activity of a typical late-October show in the residency.

The October 30 show also ranks as the second-strongest October date by RSVP activity, which Bandsintown says points to elevated interest around the residency’s closing weekend.

Singer-songwriter Amy Speace has released her debut poetry collection, “The Cardinals,” via Red Hen Press, alongside a new single, “Days of Letting Go,” with an accompanying music video. Both projects tie into her current tour, “The Cardinals: Songs, Stories & Poetry,” which runs into 2027 and mixes performances, readings and conversations at listening rooms, venues and bookstores, including a scheduled appearance at the Southern Festival of Books in Nashville on Oct. 17.

The poetry collection explores themes of marriage, divorce, motherhood and mysticism. The single “Days of Letting Go” grew out of a poem Speace wrote during her MFA thesis work, originally conceived as a persona piece with a male narrator; she said a mentor and a friend, musician Vance Gilbert, encouraged her to turn it into a song. The track was recorded at Skinny Elephant Studio in East Nashville, produced by Neilson Hubbard, and features Doug Lancio on guitars, Lex Price on bass, Hubbard on drums and Danny Mitchell on keys. The video was directed by Duende Visions Productions.

Speace, who was signed to Judy Collins’ label after being discovered by the folk icon, has had her songs recorded by artists including Red Molly and Christine Lavin. Her song “Me and the Ghost of Charlemagne” won International Song of the Year from the American Music Association (UK) in 2020, according to her bio.

Malcolm Todd opened his 38-date North American “Do That Again” tour Tuesday night in Irving, Texas, with a set drawing from his sophomore album alongside earlier singles “Earrings” and “Chest Pain (I Love).” The tour, which is sold out according to the announcement, runs through late October with stops at Radio City Music Hall in New York, The Salt Shed in Chicago and a three-night close at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.

The trek follows the release of “Do That Again” on Columbia Records, which the label says debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 with all 13 tracks charting on the U.S. Spotify chart. Todd’s team says the album has generated 277 million global streams since release and that the tour sold more than 145,000 tickets during artist presale, prompting the addition of 11 dates.

Alex Warren has claimed the No. 1 spot on Australia’s ARIA On Replay Singles Chart with “Wildchild.” The chart-topping run comes alongside a notable presence from the late Dolly Parton, who lands multiple titles in the upper reaches of the survey.

Parton’s showing marks a rare podium sweep for the country icon, underscoring her enduring commercial pull following her death. The overlap of a rising pop act at No. 1 with a legacy country star holding down other top spots reflects the eclectic mix currently shaping Australia’s singles chart.
