[music] What's up, sunshine?

I'm Koi Wire.

This is CNN 10.

Today, we have a Louisiana launchpad reaching for the stars, AI trying to top the charts, and a baby shark who's all grown up.

10 minutes, big world.

Let's dive in.

We start with two quotes full of wisdom.

Find out who you are and do it on purpose.

And if you see someone without a smile, give them yours.

Words to live by from iconic singer, songwriter, and philanthropist Dolly Parton, who died this week at the age of 80.

Known around the world as the queen of country music, or simply Dolly, the one-of-a-kind star rose from humble beginnings in rural Tennessee to become one of the biggest names in music history.

But for all the records she sold and awards she won, Dolly's greatest hit may have been the lives she touched.

She leaves a remarkable legacy of philanthropy, proof that sometimes the biggest stars shine brightest on other people.

Armina Dur has more and a look back at Dolly's incredible career and enduring impact.

>> Well, I wanted to be a star, but I always thought of a star more of as a singing star.

Legendary country music star, businesswoman, actor, and philanthropist Dolly Parton has died.

[laughter] >> Parton was born one of 12 kids in a one-bedroom cabin in East Tennessee.

>> I was never ashamed of my background, even though we grew up very poor.

>> Those humble beginnings would shape her life in music.

>> I think we've become who we are when we're young.

By 21, Parton broke into the country Billboard charts for the first time with her single Dumb Blonde.

[singing] >> It was one of the first milestones in a career that spanned seven decades.

She released over [music] 50 albums, winning 10 Grammys and garnering 55 Grammy nominations, the most ever for a female country artist.

But can I survive?

>> She received an honorary Oscar in 2025 for her humanitarian work.

>> It makes me want to dream up new ways to help lift people up.

And isn't that what we're supposed to be here for?

Dollywood [music] in the heart of the Smokies.

This >> opening Dollywood, a theme park near her hometown in East [music] Tennessee that employs thousands and has invigorated the surrounding area.

Hundreds and hundreds of businesses have sprung [music] up and thousands and thousands of jobs.

I just really thank business.

[music] I get that from my dad.

>> Parton supported many charitable causes including childhood literacy through her imagination [music] library.

We've officially gifted over 200 million books to children.

>> Dolly Parton [music] leaves behind more than iconic music.

She leaves a legacy of generosity, humility, and a reminder to be kind to one another.

I think everybody should be treated with [music] respect.

I hope that everybody gets a chance to be who and what they are.

>> Elon Musk's SpaceX says it's planning to build what could become the biggest rocket launch site on Earth in Louisiana.

SpaceX unveiled plans for a massive 100 billion dollar spaceport near Louisiana's GF coast.

Construction is expected to begin next year with the first launch targeted for 2029.

They are calling it Starbase Louisiana, a play off SpaceX's existing Starbase in South Texas, where the company develops and tests its massive Starship rocket.

And get this, Musk says the Louisiana site could eventually have more than a dozen launch towers capable of supporting more than 30 flights each day.

That's more like an airport departure schedule.

But before anyone starts packing for Mars, this thing still has to get off the ground here on Earth.

The enormous project faces regulatory and environmental reviews, particularly significant because it would be built along Louisiana's ecologically sensitive Gulf Coast.

Pop quiz hot shot.

Which country has produced the most number one hits on America's Billboard Hot 100 by artists born outside the US?

Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, or Sweden?

If you said the United Kingdom, ding ding, correct.

The Brits have been topping the charts for decades.

Down under, there is a new debate about who or what deserves a spot on the charts.

In Australia, artificial intelligence is shaking up the music charts and stirring up some very human controversy.

The Australian Recording Industry Association, known as Arya, announced this week that music generated entirely by AI will no longer be eligible for its official charts, ranking the country's biggest songs.

The decision follows controversy surrounding an Australian DJ's AI assisted cover of Madonna's Like a Prayer, which became a chart hit.

Apparently, AI was living on a prayer, Arya said.

Not on our chart.

The organization says the goal is to protect the human nature of artistry.

Important distinction.

AI isn't completely banned.

Recordings that use generative AI in a supporting role will still be eligible.

We're just not really interested in celebrating the success of AI generated music and particularly when it takes the spot of an Australian artist in our charts.

>> The move comes amid a broader fight over music rights in the age of AI with organizations like the Recording Industry Association of America and the Grammys pushing for stricter scrutiny over AI produced tracks.

So what do you think?

Should entirely AI generated music be allowed to compete against songs created and performed by humans?

How would you balance technological advancements while staying true to an artist's vision?

Feel free to press pause and ruminate solo or discuss with friends, preferably human ones.

Now to a promising new development in the world of medicine.

The US Food and Drug Administration or FDA has cleared a new blood test to help identify signs of Alzheimer's disease in people aged 55 and older with cognitive decline.

It allows doctors to use biomarkers to help identify patients who are likely or unlikely to have Alzheimer's related brain changes.

Alzheimer's is a fatal progressive brain disorder where protein fragments called amaloid plaques build up in the brain causing cell death and brain damage.

The disease affects more than 7 million Americans and is one of the leading causes of death in those over 65.

The test, which was developed by pharmaceutical companies Rosh and Eli Liy, received approval in Europe earlier this year.

While no price has been announced, Ro says it can be run on more than 4,500 existing labs across the country.

Biomarker blood tests offer a possible alternative to traditionally expensive and invasive procedures used to identify the disease, including brain scans and spinal taps.

If you think this summer's been hot, imagine wearing a fur coat all day.

In Tokyo, where extreme summer temperatures have been downright rough, a fan-powered suit is helping dogs beat the heat.

Our Scout Richards has more on one seriously fetching invention.

>> These are some hot dogs, [music] and this invention is supposed to cool them down.

Yes, those are tiny batterypowered fans strapped to a dog.

The puffy [music] pet jackets were created by Tokyo-based maternity wear company Sweet Mommy.

As Japan swelters through extreme summer heat, >> I have never lived in a hotter country than here.

Uh it is very dangerous even for us humans and for dogs who cannot sweat like us.

It's uh even worse.

>> So, how does this thing actually work?

Two batterypowered fans pull air into the jacket while an ice pack in the collar helps cool the air before it circulates around the animal's body.

And apparently, there's a market for K9 cooling.

Sweet Mommy says it has sold nearly [music] 10,000 of the pet suits since launching the first version in 2022.

The latest model costs about $104.

>> Yeah, I'm very excited so that there is at least one brand here that thinks about the well-being of our fur babies in such conditions.

>> Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.

Baby shark gets a glow up.

The 7-year-old boy featured in the most viewed video in YouTube history is now a K-pop star has been playing in the White House, launched countless trends, and racked up more than 17 billion views on YouTube.

It's Baby Shark Dance, and one of the videos stars is now starting a music career of his own.

Park Ganyong, known as Baby Shark Boy, released his debut single, Wave, which begins with a melody that might sound a little familiar.

Baby Shark doo doo doo doo doo doo.

Baby Shark Baby >> Baby Shark Boy says the song represents a new beginning for him as an artist here is hoping his career has some serious bite.

All right, that's about all we have for our show today.

But before we go, you know what time it is.

It is shout out time.

This one goes to Mr.

Marshall at Shippensburg High School in my home state of Pennsylvania.

Thank you for subscribing and commenting on our CNN 10 YouTube channel and leaving such a kind comment.

I miss all my wrestling and football days up there at Shippensburg.

And this next shout out goes to Miss Pomikpic at Yamato Colony School in Livingston, California.

They made this custom puzzle of their class watching the show.

And I was a bit puzzled at first as to why there was a piece missing.

And I'm thinking, first of all, that is very sweet.

Second of all, if that's supposed to be me, you found me.

Shine on, sunshine.

That's our [clears throat] 10 for the day.

Be curious, be kind, and remember, you don't have to change the world today.

Just make your corner shine a little brighter.

I'm Koi Wire and we are CNN 10.
