The Billboard Family Hits of the Week compiles what’s new and worth your family’s time in music, movies, TV, books, games and more. Forget the mind-numbing scrolling and searching “what to watch for family movie night” … again. The best in family entertainment each week is all in one place, in this handy guide. Isn’t it satisfying to cross something off your list?
WIth the election just behind us, you might be looking for distractions to get your mind off of politics when it comes to family time. Here’s some suggestions in entertainment for the week.
Get out the Nintendo Switch to play the latest Mario RPG (role-playing game). My childhood had Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for Super Nintendo — I admit I used the physical game guidebook to help me out with that one — but now kids have a bunch of Mario RPGs to choose from, and the internet if they get stuck! The newest release is part of the Mario & Luigi series, Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
In music, we’ve got a roundup of all the just-announced Grammy-nominated albums for best children’s music all in one place, making it easy for you to listen together. One of them is a John Legend album that features his family, pictured above, as musical guests.
Plus, in new releases, Christmas songs are trickling in to remind you the season is upon us. Retired NFL player Jason Kelce has a holiday duet out with the iconic Stevie Nicks, and Charlie Puth has a festive new song, too. Weirdly, all three of those names link back to Taylor Swift — Swifties will know the connections.
Speaking of Swift, music journalist and longtime fan Rob Sheffield has a book coming out about her, and how she reinvented pop music, that I’ll be picking up for my family: Heartbreak Is the National Anthem.
