Futures in New York surged 1.7% to near $56 a barrel on Wednesday. A committee of OPEC+ ministers said the group will keep pushing to quickly clear the oil surplus left by the pandemic-induced demand slump. The alliance’s effort appears to be working despite a still tenuous recovery in demand: Chinese stockpiles are at the lowest in almost a year and a U.S. government report on Wednesday showed crude stockpiles fell nearly 1 million barrels.

The Sing-Off in 2011, which came with a $200,000 prize and a record deal. But when it dawned on Epic that a cappella music was a slog to promote, the label unceremoniously cut the band loose.
Reality television may seem a particularly contradicting term when it comes to certain shows some are certainly more scripted than spontaneous but, there s a component of reality in singing competition shows that even the most cunning producer couldn t fabricate through a script.
For starters, shows like
American Idol and
The Voice feature people with genuine talent, who can actually do something besides push people s buttons and post about their lives on Instagram.
