Daniel Powter’s ‘Bad Day’ Most Played Song In UK - Beating Kelly Clarkson & James Blunt

I’m a fan of almost every kind of music, and regard myself to have a wide music taste. However, some genres are much more mainstream than others, and get much more exposure. Consequently, some songs seem to be played to death, while others seem never to get any exposure, despite being brilliant.

Brit Awards 2008 - Part 1 - Mika, Take That, Rihanna & Klaxons, Adele, Mika Again!

8pm - Mika opens the show with his distinct brand of high pitched camp goodness. There’s no flashy backgrounds or staging, with the focus seeming to be on his actual singing, and stage presence instead. Which is a refreshing change.
Beth Ditto arrives on stage, and the two of them embark on a duet combining Love […]

There have been some brilliant British bands over the years, with the UK leading the way when it comes to big, over the topm talented bands. I’m sure some Americans may disagree but I don’t think we can be beaten for the number of fantastic bands to have emerged since the sixties.
With that in mind, […]

Rumours have been persisting for months about Robbie Williams returning to the Take That fold, and making the foursome, a five some again. Just last week, Robbie’s mum went on record to state her belief that he would join the group again, and that it was his wish to do so.
