Last week, OneRepublic dropped a remake of the Supermen Lovers’ 2001 hit “Starlight”, retitled “Starlight (The Fame)”.

Hope this becomes a radio hit here in Australia!

Meh. Was this song begging to me remade with different lyrics? I think not.

About time IMO, we can’t have the likes of “Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls and “Mr Brightside” by The Killers stay in the charts rent-free (even though I have nothing against those classics).

I also believe “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims is about to reach two years since it was released (if it hasn’t already).

It will also prevent seasonal music (like Michael Buble’s Christmas album or Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You) from appearing in the main charts again.

That’s good news. It’s crazy to see the chart flooded with so many old tracks.

Yeah, “approved by God”. And I’m sane. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Benson Boone’s latest album American Heart has debuted at number one on the ARIA Charts.

On the singles chart, Ordinary by Alex Warren holds top spot for another week.

Meantime, Kelsea Ballerini has announced that she will be returning to Australia in December for a run of three shows on the East Coast. This means a pair of American country artists would bookend the year, Luke Combs having graced our shores back in January.

Israel Defence Force may have committed atrocities against Gaza civilians, but chanting “death to IDF” at a major music festival, where hundreds of thousands of people will be watching (either at the concert or via TV) is just wrong.

FAFO.

I read that as they remixed the chants of “death to IDF” and played it at Glastonbury.

Don’t encourage them.

American rapper Kanye West’s Australian visa has been cancelled following the release of a new track.

West, who legally goes by Ye, dropped a song titled Heil Hitler on May 8, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat in World War II.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed the cancellation, saying the song was the tipping point.

Burke said the visa wasn’t for a concert but was considered a “lower level” type.
