Brighton Pride’s announcement that the Black Eyed Peas will headline this year’s event has been met with uproar from fans.
Much of the criticism is aimed at the fact that the US group performed in Qatar last year, with many feeling this makes their booking at Pride inappropriate.
Steps, Melanie C, Zara Larsson, Dylan and Jax Jones will also play over the weekend, which takes place in the seaside city on 5 and 6 August.
According to the announcement, over 100 more LGBTQ+ artists will also play across the weekend.
“The Black Eyed Peas, a band that played at the Qatar World Cup, a country which openly discriminates against LGBTQ+ people, headlining @PrideBrighton? Seriously? What great allies to the community. What a disappointment,” one person tweeted.
Another wrote: “A month early for April Fool’s. C’mon, Brighton Pride, you can do better than Bep, still got plenty months left to get a decent headliner.

Elton John and Britney Spears have dropped their official video for the Joel Corry remix of “Hold Me Closer.” Though neither singer appears in the new visual, their style is on display throughout the new visual. The pair was also absent from the original “Hold Me Closer” video.
The Rebekah Creative-directed and Great Films-produced remix visual does feature Corry who DJs the track while dancers pay homage to John and Spears as they wear the iconic costumes that recall different eras from the singers. The choreography also pays tribute...

The Platinum Party at the Palace officially kicked off Saturday evening at Buckingham Palace with an opening sketch featuring Queen Elizabeth II and Paddington Bear sharing a meal.
“Perhaps you would like a marmalade sandwich? I always keep one for emergencies,” Paddington Bear asks Her Majesty, procuring a sticky treat from his red bucket cap.
“So do I,” the Queen replies, showcasing her own sandwich after reaching into her bag. “I keep mine in here.”
The live-action portion of the event then launched with Adam Lambert and Queen taking the stage to perform for the Buckingham Palace audience, with the crowd thumping the familiar boom-boom-clap of “We Will Rock You.” The number concluded with Brian May emerging at the top of the stage, shredding the song’s ending guitar riff while surrounded by smoke.
The show then immediately moved into renditions of “Don’t Stop Me Now” and “We Are the Champions.

U.K. dance producers Joel Corry and Jax Jones have joined forces for the bumping new track, “Out, Out” featuring Charli Xcx and Saweetie. The song samples Belgian musician Stromae’s 2010 global hit “Alors on Danse.”
Charli Xcx and Saweetie beckon all to hit the dancefloor. “If we’re going out, out for the night/I’ma meet you down on the floor,” Charli sings. “We can get it started, let’s go/Just watch me dance.” Saweetie raps to have the “DJ run it back” to keep the party going.

Four months after releasing her album Sunshine Kitty, Tove Lo is back with two new songs she wrote with Billie Eilish’s brother and collaborator Finneas.
“Bikini Porn” is a hedonist banger — a very early contender for Song of the Summer — while “Passion and Pain Taste the Same When I’m Weak” flips the party into a comedown, a woozy track that will sound great as a YouTube reverb remix. “Pleasure’s got a thousand faces/But none of them will play the realest,” she intones.

Tove Lo performed a shadowy version of her sleek new single “Sweettalk My Heart” on Wednesday’s Late Night With Seth Meyers.
The singer opened dramatically, singing the minor-key electro-pop tune with the backing band nearly hidden behind her on a dimly lit platform. She swiveled as the song swelled — from an electric piano progression that recalls the silky, rolling keys from Bruce Hornsby’s “The Way It Is” to a grooving, percussive chorus with belted vocals.
“Sweeter than love/Is the taste of all those promises that pulls you in for good,...

Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris and the 1975 were big winners at Wednesday night’s Brit Awards, taking home the Best British Single (for Harris and Lipa’s “One Kiss”), Album of the Year (for The 1975’s “Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships”) as well as Best British Group (the 1975).
While the show, livestreamed from London’s O2 Arena, features plenty of non-English talent, the Brits are basically the U.K.’s version of the Grammys, where Little Mix, the 1975, George Ezra and Tom Walker are superstars and Jay and Beyonce and Drake and Ariana are relegated to the “international” categories. The evening featured eye-popping performances from Little Mix, Harris — who was joined by both Sam Smith and Lipa — and not least Hugh Jackman, who opened the show with a “Greatest Showman” bit. There were also comparatively low-key performances from sultry R&B singer Jorja Smith and a duet between Jess Glynne and...

Considering how popular and ubiquitous his songs are, it’s surprising to learn that Ed Sheeran has topped nearly every single chart on Shazam’s 2018-to-date statistics.
“Even though Ed’s album “Divide” is now more than a year old, the songs from it continue to be Shazamed in large numbers,” said Julian Marshall, Global Head of Content. “With some big releases incoming from Drake, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, and tracks like “X” still in our Worldwide Top 10, it’ll be interesting to see if he’s still top of the charts at the end of the year.”
Below are the full lists:
The most Shazamed 2018 tracks
Ed Sheeran – “Perfect” Nicky Jam & J. Balvin – “X” Jax Jones Feat. Ina Wroldsen – “Breathe” Alice Merton – “No Roots” Marshmello & Anne-Marie – “Friends” Rudimental Feat.
