The Arctic Monkeys are without doubt, the biggest band in the UK right now. Their albums sell in huge amounts around the world, and their gigs sell out in hours, if not minutes. So it comes as a bit of a surprise to learn that they have chosen to release a single under a different […]
The Carling brand has become synonymous in recent years with live music, the academy clubs up and down the country, and the Reading and Leeds festivals, which they have sponsored for nine years.
Today it was announced that that partnership would be ending, with both parties ending it gracefully by mutual consent.

I’m considering changing the name and nature of this blog to ‘Amy Winehouse Music Scene’, as there just seems to be so much news about her at the moment.
I know she’s a big druggie, and her problems have seemed to converge with her career going skywards but not a day goes by when I […]
Oh dear, that is not a good look. Even if Amy Winehouse didn’t have some mysterious white substance lodged in her nostril, she still wouldn’t be happy with this shot. As it is, with the white powder clearly on display, this becomes one of the most shocking pictures of her I’ve seen in a while. […]
The Spice Girls may have had a very successful comeback in terms of ticket sales for their world tour, but their comeback single ‘Headlines’ bombed, despite being in aid of the Children In Need charity, and they got some heat last week for miming rather than singing live on television.

X Factor 2006 winner Leona Lewis has broken another record, this time for the fastest selling British début album of all time.
She already held one record previous to this week, after her debut single ‘A Moment Like This’ was downloaded 50,000 times in the first half hour of its release last December and sold […]
Yesterday, a few of the bloggers here on the b5 music channel decided we couldn’t hold it in any longer, and the time was ripe to embarrass ourselves. So we each revealed our top ten guilty pleasures, those songs which although we love, know most people think suck.
You’ve read my post, which contained ten British […]
We all think our music taste is the best, and most of us try and somehow inflict that taste on out friends, or in the case of blogging, on total strangers.
I am very confident in my music taste, thinking it is solid, with artists who are talented, and definitely acceptable to most people’s ears. […]
At the beginning of October, Radiohead rocked the music industry by offering their new album ‘In Rainbows’ as a download only, and allowing the fans to pay what they wanted for it. If that meant 10p then so be it, although most people tended to pay more like £4 for it.
