HAPPY THANKSGIVING

As the Thanksgiving weekend rolls in, we reflect on the warmth of the season—the joy of gathering with family, the laughter shared with friends, and the memories created around dinner tables. But there’s one gift that ties it all together, bringing every moment to life: music.

Here at In The Mix With HK™, we believe that music isn’t just a background beat—it’s the pulse that keeps our spirits high and our hearts full. This Thanksgiving, as you indulge in turkey, dance to your favorite tracks, and cherish the company of loved ones, let’s take a moment to be thankful for the soundtrack of our lives.

 

Why Music Matters 

From childhood lullabies to road trip anthems and late-night dance floor hits, music is the invisible thread that connects memories. It lifts us up when we’re down, amplifies our happiness, and gets us moving—whether we’re in the kitchen prepping dinner or hosting the ultimate post-Thanksgiving dance party.

 

A Special Thanksgiving Mix 

This weekend, tune in to our Thanksgiving Weekend Special, where we’ll serve up a feast of upbeat tracks, electrifying remixes, and the hottest dance hits. It’s the perfect backdrop for:

Kitchen Dance-offs: Who says cooking can’t be a party? 

Family Dance Challenges: Show off those moves and create unforgettable moments.

Post-Dinner Groove: Burn off that pumpkin pie with a living room dance session! 

 

A Heartfelt Thank You

To our listeners, station partners, and the amazing Radio Program Directors who bring our show to life every week: Thank you. You’re the heartbeat of our musical journey, and we’re grateful for your passion and support. 

This Thanksgiving, let’s turn up the volume on gratitude. Celebrate life. Celebrate family. Celebrate music. Because in the mix of it all, that’s where the magic happens.

Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and endless beats. Stay tuned and stay thankful!

GRAMMYS GO POP!

This week the nominations for the next 68th Grammy Awards dropped — and the list is buzzing with major-pop-culture names dominating the field. Here’s a quick rundown of the headliners and what their presence signals.

 

• Kendrick Lamar leads the charge with nine nominations, including everything from Album of the Year to Song of the Year.
• Lady Gaga is right behind with seven nominations, marking another high-profile return to prominence.
• Bad Bunny picked up six nominations, and notably becomes the first Spanish-language artist nominated in all three of the “big” Grammy categories (Album, Record, Song) in the same year.
• Other big names: Sabrina Carpenter also has six nods; Justin Bieber appears in key categories; and artists like Tyler, the Creator, Billie Eilish and Rosé show up in surprising ways.

 

What this means

 

• The mainstream-pop powerhouses are back in force — the ceremony isn’t solely underground/indie or genre-niche anymore. The “big budget stars doing big budget albums” are front and center.
• Genre-blurring is real. Pop, Rap, Latin, Alternative all collide. Bad Bunny’s run in pop/major categories, Rosé’s K-pop connection, Tyler’s cross-genre push—these are signs the Recording Academy is embracing musical hybridity.
• This means: pop superstars matter. Their nominations elevate attention, chart impact, streaming strategy, radio spins — and the narrative around them becomes content gold.
