Getting yourself sampled by one of the biggest pop stars on the planet is a dream for many aspiring singers.

One of the 13 tracks on Eternal Sunshine, which shot to the top of the UK and US charts when it was released, is […]
The divorce between US singer Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez is now official, after nearly three years of marriage. A Los Angeles Superior Court judgment has finalised the split between the 30-year-old pop star and the 28-year-old real estate broker. Under their settlement, Grande will make a one-time payment of $1.25m (£980,000) to Mr Gomez. Grande filed for divorce six months ago, citing irreconcilable differences.

DaBaby's Rockstar was the UK's biggest-selling song of the summer, says the Official Charts Company. Notching up 654,000 combined sales and streams over the summer, the brooding, guitar-driven rap song outsold hits by Lady Gaga and Harry Styles. It was one of several best-sellers this summer to be boosted by TikTok, where it triggered a viral dance challenge. The UK's second-biggest summer song, Jason Derulo's Savage Love, also started life […]
It'll be a battle between ballads and bangers at this year's Brit Awards, with Lewis Capaldi and Dave pitched against each other in four categories. The Scottish torch singer and the Streatham-born rapper are both up for best male, best newcomer, best single and album of the year at the ceremony, which takes place in London next month. Stormzy and Mabel are the second most-nominated artists, with three apiece. But […]
The success of Drake, BTS and Ariana Grande have helped the music industry earn its biggest revenues in a decade. The music market is now worth £15bn, close to the level of 2006, says the IFPI, which represents the global music industry. An explosion in streaming subscriptions has essentially saved the industry, which was in freefall for a decade. In the space of 10 years, streaming revenues have grown from […]
