HITS HIGH FIVE: TIME FOR A CHANGE

Looking forward to that extra hour at the local watering hole only to be confused on Sunday morning because you don’t remember whether you re-set the clocks? We understand.

Before we slip into darkness of early evening, here’s a look at the week’s top stories.

We keep telling you the nominations committees are the ultimate gatekeepers in the Grammy voting scenario. Now the Grammy people are finally saying this is the case.

Spotify had 87m subscribers at the end of its latest quarter. They expect that number to go as high as 96m by year’s end.

While Apple was preparing its Q4 report, word leaked that the Cupertino gang is considering acquiring a stake in iHeartMedia. As far as Q4 goes, the unit that contains Apple Music and iTunes remains the company’s brightest light.

Live Nation says Best. Quarter. Ever.

Andrea Bocelli has his first-ever #1 album and Universal's top brass dealing with classical music are jumping with joy. It’s #1 in the U.K. as well.

Once you set your clock, don't forget to vote.
