Lorde brought Charli out as a special guest during her set to perform this gem

I love it The juxtaposition of the melancholy lyrics with the dance beats work perfectly. Hoping it's big in the dance world at least.

According to ATRL, streams matter more than anything else so...

Damage control statement from the Recording Academy CEO: Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. released a statement on Wednesday (July 29) in response to BTS' decision not to enter their music for the 2027 Grammy Awards. "I am saddened to hear that BTS has chosen not to participate in the Grammy Awards process this year, but as a music creator, I understand and respect their decision. "I do want to clarify something that seems to be getting lost in the conversation. The Asian Pop category was created to celebrate the depth, diversity and extraordinary growth of pop artistry coming out of Asia. The spirit of this new category is to shine a dedicated spotlight on these important artists. More categories mean more artists' work is recognized. It's never to divide, but to expand who is recognized by our 15,000 Grammy voters. "I also want to be very clear: submitting music in a genre category such as Asian Pop, or Jazz or Country does not exclude an artist from also submitting and being considered in the General Field categories, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year. Those categories remain open to any eligible recording, regardless of genre. Recognition in a genre category and recognition in the General Field are not mutually exclusive. An artist can absolutely pursue both. "The Grammy organization is here to serve music and all the people who make it. As we continue to expand the reach, our membership and our awards, regardless of geography or language, I want to emphasize that we will continue to listen to the global music community and work to honor and celebrate all the artists whose music moves the world. – Harvey Mason jr, Grammys CEO"

It's the way this pathetic & nasty administration know that nobody respectable wants to be associated with them & the vile rapist-in-chief, but they keep doing it anyway

Nasty, glad I've never liked her or Everybody Loves Raymond.

The BBC reports that it counted more than 120 separate allegations of him exhibiting inappropriate or predatory behavior toward women, including the experiences of six other women who came forward in the new documentary. Four of them also claimed that Leto placed sexually explicit phone calls to them when they were younger, and another alleges that when she was 14, he made a sexually suggestive comment about her body at an autograph signing at a music festival. She claims that he then told security personnel to bring her backstage, where he allegedly repeated the comment after her mother confronted him. He deserves the same treatment Kevin Spacey got.

Truly horrific news! Falling Slowly is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard RIP to one of Ireland's most gifted musicians.

2002 classic

Top 10 in many Latin American countries at the moment. Could definitely be the next smash in Spanish.

Smart, the chorus has radio potential.

Plus another new #1, this time in Bjork's Iceland.

Up 13 spots to #3 on the Canadian Hot 100

Gross to see Morgan at #1. Charli can definitely overtake Ella for #3.

Love this, smash in Sweden already

WRONG AS ALWAYS!

"Dai Dai" on the Hot 100: Now, the smash stands as the highest-charting official World Cup song ever on the Hot 100. On the Aug. 1 ranking, it enters the top 40, blasting 42-17.

"Dai Dai" totaled 8.6 million official streams (up 69%), 13.9 million in radio airplay audience (up 11%) and 7,000 sold (up 322%) in the United States July 17-23, according to data tracker Luminate.

#1 international song in India.
