HITS LIST: SOMETHING TO BE-LEAVE IN

Sir Lucian Grainge finds himself in a familiar position in our final gathering of trending topics of October—leading the way. The same can be said of the redoubtable Marty Bandier as the EU issues its decision, and of Sylvia Rhone as she continues her Epic journey. Kacey Musgraves and Billie Eilish are on hand to remind us of the continuity of inspiration, while Joie Manda and Jim Roppo represent the forces of nature initiating change behind the scenes. And that's about all we can squeeze out of this sketchy seasonal premise.

Somewhere, there's a nip in the air...but not in Dodger Stadium this weekend.
