The Queen of Pop is heading back to the VMAs and it’s been a minute!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Madonna is set to open the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, marking her first performance at the show in 23 years. And she’s not exactly showing up quietly — Madonna has 11 nominations heading into the night.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Of course, Madonna and the VMAs go way back. She’s already won 19 Moon Person awards and has delivered some of the most unforgettable performances in the history of the ceremony.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

This year’s show, hosted by Snoop Dogg, will also mark Madonna’s return to the stage following the success of her album Confessions II<\/i>. The superstar has been openly grateful for the incredible response to the album and the continued support from her fans, especially after the unexpected chart success.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Now, she’s bringing that energy back to the VMAs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

After more than two decades, the Queen of Pop is ready for another VMA moment — and if Madonna’s history with this show tells us anything, we’re probably in for something unforgettable.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>","image":"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/1023\/6aad2ca36ee83708056.jpg","author":{"name":"smac"},"_mobile_inapp_url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/_app_pages\/stations\/5006\/blogs\/posts\/86458"},{"id":"o1023-1505-6aa9b990e9162","url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/blogs\/k104-trending\/post\/choosin-texas-or-christmas\/","title":"Choosin\u2019 Texas or Christmas","date_published":"2026-09-15T21:33:00+00:00","summary":"Ella Langley\u2019s \"Choosin\u2019 Texas\u201d is about to break Hot 100 records.","content_html":"

Ella Langley is doing the impossible on the Billboard Hot 100. Her smash single, “Choosin’ Texas,” released October 17th, 2025 peaked at number-one on February 14, 2026. It has yet to fall from its glorious spot, owning the nation in an unusual genre for the Top 40.
\n
\nThis week is massive for the music industry. The track is currently tying a record currently held by Mariah Carey and her seasonal anthem, “All I Want for Christmas is You,” at 22 weeks straight at #1.
\n
\nElla likely never expected such a crossover with her country twang, yet the states are loving her– not just Texas.
\n
\nNeither artist has come out explicitly saying anything regarding this once-in-a-lifetime accolade, however, Ella Langley replied in few words and emojis to the Billboard chart this week. Her reaction was a humble “22 weeks” with a “\ud83e\udd79” and “\ud83e\udd2f” on her Instagram repost of the charts.
\n
\nIn our waiting until next week, here are some other crazy statistics for “Choosin’ Texas.” She became the twelfth woman since 2000 to break the top five with a country song and it is the longest-running number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 by a female country artist ever.
\n
\nWill America continue to choose Ella Langley next week to crown her country crossover as the longest running number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 ever?<\/p>","image":"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/1023\/6aa9b614e8689.jpg","author":{"name":"Nick The Intern via Skywalker"},"_mobile_inapp_url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/_app_pages\/stations\/5006\/blogs\/posts\/86426"},{"id":"o1023-1505-6aa29c61c0f18","url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/blogs\/k104-trending\/post\/harry-styles-is-taking-tour-into-2027\/","title":"Harry Styles is Taking Tour into 2027!","date_published":"2026-09-10T12:02:00+00:00","summary":"Harryween and more in 2027","content_html":"

Could Miley Cyrus be getting ready to party at the Super Bowl?<\/p>\n\n

Social media is buzzing with speculation that Miley could headline the 2027 Super Bowl halftime show. Before we start planning our halftime snacks around “Flowers” and “Party in the U.S.A.,” there’s one important detail: nothing has been officially announced.<\/p>\n\n

As of now, the NFL, Apple Music and Miley have not confirmed the rumors.<\/p>\n\n

Miley’s name has actually been floating around as a possible halftime performer for months. She’s previously talked about the idea and admitted the Super Bowl might be “too much pressure.” But she also suggested she’d consider it if she could turn the performance into a celebration of the different eras of her career.<\/p>\n\n

And honestly, she certainly has enough eras to fill a halftime show.<\/p>\n\n

Think about the possibilities: the Hannah Montana years, “The Climb,” “Wrecking Ball,” “We Can’t Stop,” “Party in the U.S.A.,” “Flowers” and everything in between. Add in a couple of surprise guests, and you could have one pretty incredible 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n

Miley also already has some Super Bowl experience. She performed at the NFL’s TikTok Tailgate before Super Bowl LV in 2021.<\/p>\n\n

Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.<\/p>\n\n

So, is Miley Cyrus really getting the halftime show?<\/p>\n\n

For now, it’s just a rumor. But if the NFL makes it official, this could be one halftime show K104 listeners will definitely be talking about.<\/p>\n\n

The most shows in a two-month stretch by a single artist in documented Madison Square Garden history is currently underway and it’s Harry Styles with 30 shows in 67 days between August 26th and October 31st, 2026. <\/p>\n\n

Harry has stated two core reasons for this unusual, concentrated residency. For one, traveling constantly for consecutive weeks all over the globe wears down the body and suppresses vocal quality. And two, Styles always loved performing at The Garden because the atmosphere really captures the city during the show, the energy being something that swells through the room.<\/p>\n\n

Not only is it wildly impressive that Harry is able to book out every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday for 8 weeks straight, but the shows are continuously selling out night after night.<\/p>\n\n

This 30-show residency is America’s only landing spot for Harry’s 2026 tour, Together, Together<\/em>, so if you’re anywhere outside of the Big Apple, it’s time to travel.<\/p>\n\n

This run is being compared to Billy Joel’s all-time MSG record with 150 lifetime performances, but his famous residency was generally one show per month, not 30 shows in a little over two months.<\/p>\n\n

Fans who go are expected to see around 20 of Harry Styles’ biggest songs spanning his four decade-defining albums: Harry Styles<\/em>, Fine Line<\/em>, Harry’s House<\/em>, and Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

The last show of the stretch is on Halloween night and they’re calling it “Harryween.” Keep listening to K104 for your chance to win a pair of tickets for that night.<\/p>\n\n

30 SHOWS. 67 DAYS.

As we approach the 25th anniversary of September 11th, Pete Davidson is opening up about what the day means to him—not just as a New Yorker, but now as a father himself.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Pete was just seven years old when his father, New York City firefighter Scott Davidson, was killed responding to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. It’s a loss that has been part of Pete’s story for most of his life.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

But becoming a dad has given that story a new meaning.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Davidson has spoken about honoring his father through his daughter, including giving her a name connected to the dad he lost. As she grows up, Pete says he wants to make sure she knows who her grandfather was—not simply through the tragedy of 9\/11, but through the stories, memories and personality of the man behind the uniform.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

That feels especially important as we mark 25 years.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Pete has also reflected on attending a therapeutic camp for children who lost family members because of 9\/11. Being around other kids who understood what he was experiencing helped him cope with something almost impossible for a child to understand.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Now he's using something that became a huge part of his own life—comedy—to give back. Davidson is involved with a comedy benefit supporting first responders and those who continue to live with the impact of September 11th.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

His message is an important one.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

September 11th will always be a day of tremendous sadness and loss. But Pete doesn't want the anniversary defined only by horrific images, documentaries or internet memes. He also wants us to remember what happened afterward.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

People helped each other. First responders ran toward danger. Neighbors became family.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

New Yorkers showed the world just how resilient they could be.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

For those of us in the Hudson Valley and throughout the New York area, September 11th will always feel incredibly close to home. Twenty-five years later, we remember those we lost, honor the families who carry that loss every day, and continue supporting the first responders who answered the call.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

And maybe one of the most meaningful ways to remember is exactly what Pete Davidson plans to do with his daughter:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Tell the stories. Remember the people. Keep their names alive.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>","image":"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/1023\/6a9fff447feb1.jpg","author":{"name":"Scotty Mac"},"_mobile_inapp_url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/_app_pages\/stations\/5006\/blogs\/posts\/86333"},{"id":"o1023-1505-6a9886bf59107","url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/blogs\/k104-trending\/post\/ella-langley-surprised-her-mentor-with-a-custom-guitar\/","title":"Ella Langley Surprised Her Mentor with a Custom Guitar","date_published":"2026-09-02T20:27:43+00:00","summary":"Ella Langley doing Ella things....","content_html":"

Ella Langley<\/strong> has been one of the hottest artists on the music scene as of late and is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. She named her three dream collaborators in a new interview for "<\/strong><\/i>Variety<\/strong><\/i><\/a>"<\/strong><\/i>.  They are Stevie Nicks<\/strong>, Chris Stapleton<\/strong>, and Harry Styles<\/strong>. At this rate she will make those collaborations happen as she is blowing up on the scene and crossing over to the mainstream. She's also dominating the VMA nominations in the Country category.

Langley<\/strong> returned to Auburn University for two sold-out shows and took time to honor one of the people who helped launch her music career.<\/p>\n\n

Years ago, her former teacher and mentor, Maury "Coach Pop" Popwell, gave her his guitar when she moved to Nashville to chase her country music dreams.<\/p>\n\n

So, she recently got to return the favor with a custom guitar as a "thank you" for his support.  Coach Pop has been teaching for 57 years, but it's safe to say Ella is his most-famous student.

Okay, Miley Cyrus is entering a WHOLE new era, and apparently even the last name didn’t make the cut.<\/p>\n\n

Miley has officially announced her brand-new album, “Bass Persuades,” dropping September 18th. The 10-track album features some pretty interesting collaborations, including Model\/Actriz and Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow.<\/p>\n\n

And according to Miley, this album is going to take listeners on an emotional roller coaster — from a “heart full” to “heartache” and basically everything that happens in between.<\/p>\n\n

But the music isn’t the only thing getting a makeover.<\/p>\n\n

Miley is now being billed simply as “Miley.” Yep. No Cyrus. Just Miley. And honestly, when you're Miley Cyrus, maybe you don't really need the last name anyway.<\/p>\n\n

She shared the news on Instagram, writing:<\/p>\n\n

\n

“Thank you for being a part of making my wildest dreams come true. I sincerely hope you love this album.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

And she's already planning a big return to the stage.<\/p>\n\n

Miley will perform two special shows at the Hollywood Bowl on October 16th and 18th, and it looks like fans can expect her to perform “Bass Persuades” in its entirety.<\/p>\n\n

Tickets go on sale to the general public September 10th at 10AM Pacific.<\/p>\n\n

Here's the “Bass Persuades” Tracklist:<\/h3>\n\n

    An interview with Olivia Dean on songwriter and producer Ross Golan’s podcast, And the Writer Is<\/em>…, recently resurfaced on social media in which a question was posed about her biggest pet peeve in music. She exclaimed, “Why write the lyrics if I can’t hear what you’re saying?”<\/p>\n\n

    After all, a song is intended to evoke emotion in us both musically and lyrically. Olivia Dean’s lyrics are very near and dear to her and that was made obvious all across her blockbuster record The Art of Loving<\/em>, with tracks like “A Couple Minutes” and “So Easy (To Fall in Love).”<\/p>\n\n

    Olivia is known for emotional vulnerability in her music, with lyrics like, “If only you could see how I've been. If I'm being real…it ain't been the same”, diving deep into the mental aftermath of a breakup. These words highlight the pain of seeing the other person “okay” while your brain is running laps of overthinking, hurt, and holding on to what will never again be.<\/p>\n\n

    “And although it's over, I'll always be there.”<\/p>\n\n

    Her lyrics often capture this strange space of knowing that love is both high-risk and high-reward. Dean outlines the strong attachments we can form with certain people through special moments in a relationship, preserving those memories in vivid detail through her music. Sometimes, these atmospheres can feel so magical that it almost seems too good to be true. “Only have a couple minutes and we're going back to real life.”<\/p>\n\n

    Passionately, she later expressed in Golan’s interview, “Turn my voice up in the mix. I want people to hear what I wrote. I love what I wrote, that’s the whole point.”<\/p>","image":"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/1023\/6a97336db7474b688dd.jpg","author":{"name":"Nick the Intern via Skywalker"},"_mobile_inapp_url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/_app_pages\/stations\/5006\/blogs\/posts\/86280"},{"id":"o1023-1505-6a8de03782c75","url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/blogs\/k104-trending\/post\/music-icon-dolly-parton-has-died1\/","title":"MUSIC ICON DOLLY PARTON HAS DIED","date_published":"2026-08-25T18:34:31+00:00","summary":"Legendary singer was 80","content_html":"

    Reports indicate that Disney is eager to secure a deal with Culkin, potentially offering a passion project to bring him back as Kevin McCallister. The proposed concept, developed by Culkin himself, flips the original premise: a preoccupied single father (Culkin) is locked out of his home by his own son and must overcome a series of booby traps to get back inside<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    Macaulay Culkin etched his name in history when he joined the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Home Alone<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em> franchise<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>as Kevin McCallister, immediately starring in one of the <\/span><\/span><\/span>most iconic movies of all time<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. After starring in the 1990 original, Culkin would come back for 1992's <\/span><\/span><\/span>Home Alone 2: Lost in New York<\/span><\/span><\/em>, his most recent appearance to date in the franchise. After that, another four movies were released in the Christmas franchise, with <\/span><\/span><\/span>Home Alone 4<\/span><\/span><\/em> choosing to recast the role of Kevin McCallister, who was played by Mike Weinberg. None of those follow-ups lived up to Culkin's original films, but a new entry could.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    Macaulay Culkin was recently spotted on the Disney lot, sparking intense rumors that a highly anticipated Home Alone sequel starring the original Kevin McCallister is in active development.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    Culkin has previously mentioned a compelling pitch where an adult Kevin, now a struggling single father, finds himself locked out of his own house by his neglected son. In a brilliant role reversal, Kevin must cleverly navigate his angry son's elaborate traps to literally and metaphorically get back into his home and his child's heart. While Culkin seems ready if the script is right, significant hurdles still remain. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    A true sequel might feel hollow without the iconic Wet Bandits, requiring the notoriously reclusive Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern to sign on, alongside convincing reluctant original director Chris Columbus to eventually return. This would be his first Christmas without his on screen mom and dad. But hey if A Christmas Story can do a sequel 40 years later, I think Home Alone is gonna be just fine!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    I went to a 80's 90's theme birthday party over the weekend. My friend had Blockbuster Video cards made to hand out. Remember video stores? Maybe you don't but if you do there is a great documentary to check out about the last Blockbuster in the county.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    The Last Blockbuster (2020)<\/strong> is a nostalgic documentary directed by Taylor Morden that chronicles the rise and fall of the once-dominant Blockbuster Video chain while focusing on the world's final remaining Blockbuster store in Bend, Oregon.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    The film explores how Blockbuster grew into a pop culture giant during the 1990s, eventually driving many independent video stores out of business, only to be overtaken itself by changing technology, streaming services, corporate missteps, and the 2008 financial crisis. At the heart of the documentary is store manager Sandi Harding<\/strong>, whose dedication—and the loyalty of customers—has kept the last Blockbuster operating long after the chain disappeared everywhere else..<\/strong><\/span><\/p>","image":"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/1023\/6a678e68d1262.jpg","author":{"name":"Skywalker"},"_mobile_inapp_url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/_app_pages\/stations\/5006\/blogs\/posts\/85907"},{"id":"o1023-1505-6a5a34258b24c","url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/blogs\/k104-trending\/post\/post-malone-headlines-world-cup-closing-ceremonies\/","title":"Post Malone headlines World Cup closing ceremonies","date_published":"2026-07-17T13:54:00+00:00","summary":"Post Malone scores at World Cup","content_html":"

    If you thought the FIFA World Cup Final was just about soccer... think again.<\/p>\n\n

    Post Malone is set to headline the closing ceremony at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey before the championship match on Sunday. The pregame celebration kicks off 90 minutes before kickoff and is designed to celebrate the tournament and get fans fired up for the biggest match of the year.<\/p>\n\n

    The star power doesn't stop there. Tom Cruise, Laura Pausini, Nicole Scherzinger, Robbie Williams, and IShowSpeed are all expected to make appearances, while Jennifer Hudson will perform the national anthem.<\/p>\n\n

    And if that's not enough, the halftime show is stacked with Justin Bieber, Madonna, BTS, and Shakira.<\/p>\n\n

    Whether you're tuning in for the soccer or the music, this World Cup Final is shaping up to be one of the biggest entertainment events of the year.<\/p>","image":"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/1023\/6a5a344da5b71.jpg","author":{"name":"smac"},"_mobile_inapp_url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/_app_pages\/stations\/5006\/blogs\/posts\/85770"},{"id":"o1023-1505-6a4c09420ce23","url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/blogs\/k104-trending\/post\/bieber-could-headline-world-cup-halftime-show\/","title":"Bieber Could Headline World Cup Halftime Show","date_published":"2026-07-06T20:00:00+00:00","summary":"From hanging in the HV to performing at the World Cup?","content_html":"

    For the first time ever, the FIFA World Cup Final could feature a true halftime show—and one of the biggest names in pop music may be taking center stage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    Reports say Justin Bieber is in talks to perform during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final, joining a rumored all-star lineup that includes Madonna, Shakira, and BTS. If it happens, it would mark the tournament's first official halftime performance and help launch the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, with a goal of raising $100 million to support education around the world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    Bieber is coming off a huge year after delivering the most-watched headlining performance in Coachella history, making him one of the hottest names in live entertainment. While nothing is official just yet, reports say negotiations are underway for what could become one of the biggest TV performances of the decade.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    Justin has been keeping busy outside of music, too. Hockey fans recently spotted him making a surprise appearance at the NHL Draft, where he helped his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs make their first overall selection.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    With the World Cup coming to North America in 2026, a halftime show featuring global superstars would make an already historic event even bigger.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    From hanging in the Hudson Valley to the World Cup!  Love this.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    Jay-Z launched a limited-edition collection of album-themed gear to celebrate his Yankee Stadium anniversary shows.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    Jay-Z is ready to bring Hip-Hop back to the Cathedral that is YANKEE STADIUM next week - July 10, 11 & 12 to THREE SOLD OUT SHOWS! And what better way for Hov to get NY and the Tri-State ready than to drop some merch!!<\/span><\/p>\n\n

    The collection combines two things New Yorkers love: the iconic Bronx Bombers and Jay-Z's music. The collection just launched this week and includes premium-priced items, with at least one jacket marked as 'almost gone.' The collection is a collaboration with Mitchell and Ness and features a range of apparel and accessories. The collection honors Jay-Z's two albums, The Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt, and coincides with his anniversary shows at Yankee Stadium.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    I saw a Vinyl collection in a record crate of every album he's ever done. The price is well....PRICEY!!! But for some DJ's and collectors, I'm sure well worth it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    30 years in the game is no joke; proving why he really is one of the greatest of all time when it comes to Hip-Hop.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

    Looks like one of Taylor Swift's longtime celebrity friendships may still be on the rocks.<\/p>\n\n

    According to multiple reports cited by Us Weekly<\/em>, Blake Lively reportedly won't be getting an invitation if and when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tie the knot. Before anyone starts the drama, sources say Blake isn't taking it personally.<\/p>\n\n

    One insider claims Blake "understands why she wouldn't be invited," saying her presence would create a media frenzy that could take attention away from the couple's big day. While she'd love to be there to support Taylor and Travis, the source says she's at peace with the situation.<\/p>\n\n

    The reported distance between Taylor and Blake comes after Swift's name became tied to Blake Lively's ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni. Court filings and text messages that surfaced during the case reportedly left Taylor feeling uncomfortable after private conversations became public.<\/p>\n\n

    Another source says Blake has "put that chapter behind her," but admits the friendship hasn't exactly bounced back. According to the report, the two haven't spoken in several months, with only a few casual text messages exchanged during that time.<\/p>\n\n

    A separate insider previously claimed the legal situation was especially difficult for Taylor, saying she felt "exposed and kind of violated" after private messages became part of the public court record.<\/p>\n\n

    Of course, neither Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, nor Blake Lively has publicly commented on the latest report. For now, it's all coming from anonymous sources, so fans will have to wait and see how this story develops.<\/p>\n\n

    Would you be surprised if Blake isn't on the guest list?<\/p>","image":"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/1023\/6a3e6fc73b043.jpg","author":{"name":"smac"},"_mobile_inapp_url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/_app_pages\/stations\/5006\/blogs\/posts\/85516"},{"id":"o1023-1505-6a22df4fb616d","url":"https:\/\/www.k104online.com\/blogs\/k104-trending\/post\/my-childhood-on-the-big-screen\/","title":"MY CHILDHOOD ON THE BIG SCREEN","date_published":"2026-06-05T14:38:07+00:00","summary":"By the power of Grayskull!","content_html":"

And now He-Man comes to the big screen LIVE ACTION this weekend. They tried it once before with Dolph Lundgren but I am hoping this version is much better.

    A blood emergency has been declared across New York as hospitals face critically low blood supplies heading into one of the busiest times of the year for trauma cases.<\/p>\n\n

    According to officials with the New York Blood Center and New Jersey Blood Services, the region’s blood inventory has dropped to less than a two-day supply overall, while Type O blood is now sitting at less than a one-day supply.<\/p>\n\n

    Healthcare leaders say all blood types are urgently needed.<\/p>\n\n

    The shortage is being blamed in part on a sharp decline in donations. Blood centers report donations are down by 15 percent, which translates to roughly 4,500 fewer donations than hospitals need to keep up with demand.<\/p>\n\n

    The timing couldn’t be worse.<\/p>\n\n

    Summer is often referred to as “trauma season” by medical professionals because of the increase in serious accidents and injuries. Car crashes, outdoor accidents, and other emergencies during the warmer months often require large amounts of blood for lifesaving treatment.<\/p>\n\n

    Officials are now calling on eligible donors to step up immediately to help prevent delays in critical care.<\/p>\n\n

    One blood donation can help save multiple lives, and centers say even a small increase in donor turnout could make a major difference right now.<\/p>\n\n

    If you’ve been considering donating, this is the time. Blood centers throughout New York and New Jersey are encouraging people to schedule appointments or walk in if eligible.<\/p>\n\n
