It’s finally here! Jessie J (26), Ariana Grande (21) and Nicki Minaj (31) have just dropped their sexy new music video for Bang Bang! The divas bring you a fantastic, colourful, retro-inspired street party!

After the trio opened the MTV VMAs with a sizzling hot performance of the song – the first time they had performed it live – they premiered the music video on MTV’s website and Vevo.

Directed by Hannah Lux Davis the video opens with a birds-eye view of Manhattan. “It’s me starting a street party that Ariana is then going to attend, and then Nicki turns up on an amazing type of transport, that I wont give away….And then we all party together on a rooftop and there’s loads of dancers, there’s a dance that you can learn that I made up.” Jessie J said to MTV News.

Interestingly, the cars are all vintage in this retro-inspired clip, but the fashion is modern. It’s a feel-good party visual for sure – talk about girl power!

Bang Bang debuted at Nº6 on the Billboard Hot 100 after it had premiered on July 29. The song is the first single from Jessie J’s upcoming album Alive. The chart topping hit can also be found on the deluxe version of Ariana Grande’s second album, My Everything.

Sean Connery, or to use his full name and title Sir Thomas Sean Connery has been polled “The Greatest Living Scot” and “Scotland’s Greatest Living National Treasure”. In 1989 he was called “The Sexiest Man Alive” by People Magazine and in 1999, at age 69, he was voted “Sexiest Man of the Century”. Today, he turns 84 and we’re celebrating by taking a moment to look at his Top 10 film performances.

Best known and loved for portraying the character James Bond and starring in 7 Bond films between 1962 and 1983 Sean Connery has had an incredible acting career. In 1988 he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in the Untouchables. His film career also includes other classic films such as The Name of the Rose, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, Highlander, Murder on the Orient Express, Dragonheart, and The Rock.

He began his theatrical career as an extra in the chorus. At 16 he enlisted in the Navy and a stomach ulcer shortened his military career and forced him to return home to Edinburgh. He spent a lot of his free time bodybuilding – which was eventually what started his acting career when in 1950 he came third in the bodybuilding competition – Mr Universe. From bit parts, modelling and chorus appearances he was finally cast in a major role opposite Lana Turner in Another Time, Another Place (1958). Four years later he uttered the famous, unforgettable words, “Bond, James Bond”, and he skyrocketed into fame as the suave, sophisticated secret agent, 007.

Sean Connery supports literally hundreds of charities. One fact that very few people know, he donated $1 million dollars from his Bond film ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ (virtually his entire salary from that film) to the Scottish International Educational Trust which he co-founded. He has always said “The three areas that are very important to me are: education, culture and Scotland.”

Star actor Denzel Washington once again returns to the big screen as a butt-whipping tough guy. Having been in similar skin for his previous works such as Man on Fire (2004) or the science fiction film The Book of Eli (2010), this time Denzel is the main hero of this action thriller called The Equalizer, set on the mean streets of New York.

The film is directed by Antoine Fuqua, the American director behind the highly acclaimed Training Day (2001). Starring stars such as Denzel Washington himself, Ethan Hawke who played in Shooter (2007) and Olympus Has Fallen (2013), alongside the likes of Gerard Butler and the unmistakable Morgan Freeman.

The plot is based on the popular television series of the same name, broadcast by CBS back in the mid-eighties. Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) is a retired CIA agent who lives a peaceful live, as far away from his violent and shady past, working in a department store.

However, witnessing the mean streets, full of violence, gangs, corruption and psychopaths stir up old habits. Our hero returns to his old ways as a protector of the defenseless. Everything gets complicated when a young prostitute, played by the young Chloë Moretz (Kick Ass, Carrie) and the hero cross paths with the leader of the Russian Mafia.

The script is the work of Richard Wenk, who has extensive experience in the action genre, with sucker-punching titles such as The Expendables 2 behind him. The cast, led by the aforementioned Denzel Washington and Chloë Moretz, is made up of Marton Csokas (The Bourne Supremacy), Melissa Leo (The Fighter) and Haley Bennett.

Apart from a complete beat-down, the trailer also showcases one of Eminem’s most recent works, a collaboration with Sia for the official soundtrack titled “Guts over Feat“.

The action-packed film will debut in major US theatres on the 26th of September, while most of Europe will have to await the 17th of October for their dose of action and suspense with the blockbuster-grade actor Denzel Washington.

The guys from Coldplay have just premiered a beautiful videoclip for True Love, the third single from their latest album Ghost Stories. With beautiful lyrics, melody and a sweet clip, it’s not surprising that they’ve once again managed to set themselves amongst the highest positions in worldwide hit charts!

The lovely single was released in early August, but only now can we enjoy the accompanying video. The two dreamers in the video are played by Chris Martin and Canadian actress Jessica Lucas, known for her roles on shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2008), Cloverfield (2008) produced by J.J. Abrams or the new version of Sam Raimi’s classic Evil Dead (2013).

Swedish director Jonas Akerlund, worked on the video, as well as Magic, the first single from Ghost Stories. True Love follows another great song, A Sky Full of Stars, where Gwyneth Paltrow’s dances around Sydney’s King Street cheering on and performing for over 250 fans.

The charming clip for True Love was recorded entirely in Los Angeles (California) and tells a story of two young strangers who have the same dream of becoming ballet dancers. Throughout the clip, we see the exact representation of how life treats us and all the difficulties the heroes have to overcome just to fit into society. However, magic, destiny and true love make all those unattainable dreams seem not so far away after all…

Czech artist Mila Fürstová created the beautiful artistic concept for the new videoclip. The dynamic of the clip is based on the heroes dressed in enormous fat suits, adding a touch of a tragicomedy aftertaste. Aside from this artistic clip, Mila has been collaborating with the band for all the art surrounding the image of Ghost Stories!

Consisting of 9 original songs, Ghost Stories is the 6th album released by Coldplay. Having topped the UK charts selling over 82,000 copies in one day and reaching the Nº1 spot in iTunes in over 100 countries, made this the fastest selling album worldwide so far in 2014!

“Ideals are peaceful… History is violent.” The first full length trailer for Fury has just been released and it’s pretty damn awesome. The footage is spectacular – it’s intense, gritty and totally badass!

Vince Mancini stated on Film Drunk – “As I’ve said on many occasions, you can never have too many movies about killing Nazis.” We agree with him!

Outnumbered and outgunned the Fury team face overwhelming odds in their deadly mission behind enemy lines. The US army sergeant Wardaddy, played by Brad Pitt, commands the Sherman tank Fury and it’s 5-man crew in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

Brad Pitt leads a star studded cast including Logan Lerman and Shia LaBeouf in this World War II epic. They live, breathe and fight in their tank. Lerman plays a very young soldier who has to learn to deal with the reality and turmoil of war. Of course, things get bloody and violent..According to the Director David Ayer, Shia Labeouf gives a performance that will shock you.

Fury will close the London Film Festival and open in the US on October 17.

Foo Fighters have just shared the full trailer for their upcoming HBO series and 8th studio album – Sonic Highways. Dave Grohl said “This is not just the making of our most ambitious album, this is a love letter to the history of American music.”

Each episode of the series will chronicle the group as they record a different song in 8 different US cities — Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, DC, and New York. In each city the band explores the rich musical history before recording a song that is inspired by the time they spent there.

There are interviews with Pharrell Williams, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and even the President Barack Obama himself. During his interview the President said “American music is about rejecting what is already there to create something entirely new…”

The whole show is a “musical map of America” and Dave explains the reasoning behind the idea “I really believe that the environment that you write and record an album influences the musical result.”

HBO premieres the series on Friday October 17 at 11pm (ET/PT) with the remaining 7 episodes running on subsequent Fridays at the same time.

The album, Sonic Highways, will be released on November 10 via Roswell Records. You can pre-order on iTunes or via the band’s website.

Sonic Highways Tracklist:
01. Something From Nothing (4:49)
02. The Feast and the Famine (3:50)

04. What Did I Do?/God As My Witness (5:44)
05. Outside (5:15)
06. In the Clear (4:04)

Nicki Minaj released her Anaconda video last night. If you like butts this video is for you! You’ll never see so many butts again! Definitely NSFW.

The self-proclaimed “Queen of Rap” twerks her way around the jungle then gives Drake a scandalous lap dance. The pretty weird and extremely raunchy clip was directed by Colin Tilley. You could call it an ode to the human posterior.

The video was released at the stroke of midnight on Wednesday August 20 – the 31-year old rapper tweeted: “My babies r trending it already. Let’s go! #AnacondaVideoAtMidnight.”

The OTT sexiness started when she released the sexy cover art on Instagram on July 24, where she is seen posing in a bit of pink string with her butt centre stage. On many digital stores there is a Parental Advisory sticker over the offending cheeks.

In 2012, Anaconda was recorded by five-time Grammy Award-winning musician Missy Elliott, but due to undisclosed reasons Elliott shelved the track and it was then re-recorded by Minaj.

In the US, the song debuted at Nº 3 on the Digital Songs chart selling 141,000 digital downloads in its first week. Anaconda will be released in the UK on October 5 through Cash Money Records. The track follows Pills N Potions and is the latest single from Nicki’s forthcoming third studio album The Pink Print.

How do you get people to watch your Emmy Award show? Bring Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul back together for a hilarious comedy sketch – Barely Legal Pawn.

The last episode of the hugely popular Breaking Bad series was a long 11 months ago and hope is diminishing that we’ll ever see Bryan and Aaron return to their beloved Breaking Bad roles. NBC came up with the bright idea of a faster reunion. With the 2014 Emmy’s just 4 days away they’ve cooked up a brilliant sketch also starring Veep’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

The three do a brilliant spoof on those pawn-show reality shows to promote the Emmy’s, sponsored by Audi. The 6-minute sketch sees Julia in character as herself wanting to pawn one of her past ‘Seinfeld’ Emmys and trying to negotiate with the dodgy pawn shop owners – Bryan and Paul – for a good price. Telling you any more of the story would be a spoiler!

The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards are a ceremony held to honour the best in US prime time television from June 1, 2013 until May 31, 2014, as chosen by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. To see the Nominees visit the Emmy website. 

The 2014 Emmy Awards will air on NBC this Monday 25 August, hosted by Seth Meyers. Normally, the awards show broadcasts on a Sunday, but Monday was chosen this year so that there was no conflict with the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.

Taylor Swift has unveiled the lead single from her upcoming album – Shake it Off. It’s bobby, poppy and sure-to-be-a-hit! We love it! It’s all about ignoring the haters and staying true to yourself.

The track is the lead single from her “very first, documented, official pop album”, and it’s titled 1989. The title of the album is from the year Taylor was born and the inspiration from the late-80’s pop music.

“I’ve been working on a new album for two years,” Taylor said during Monday night’s (August 18) webcast. “I like to work on albums for two years, because I feel like two years gives you enough time to grow and change … This is a bit of a rebirth for me. I woke up every single day that I was recording this record not wanting, but needing to make a new style of music that I had never made before.” Taylor said of the album “it’s the most sonically cohesive album I’ve ever made.”

Shake it Off was made in collaboration with Max Martin and Shellback. The music video premiered on Monday night and now, not even 24 hours later, it has close to 4 million views. Hardly surprising really when you consider that Taylor Swift IS the biggest selling artist of all time. Her last 4 albums gained 7 Grammy awards and she has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide.

The video is directed by Mark Romanek, someone that Taylor has always wanted to work with, and it features a myriad of brilliant dancers with Taylor joining in. Mark agreed to shoot the video after listening to the song just once.

Taylor performed the song live at the top of the Empire State Building (above image). “To be honest with you, it’s kind of scary up here,” she first said whilst atop the Empire State Building. “I have a new song I’m going to play you in 30 seconds. The idea [behind the song is] that I’ve had to learn a pretty tough lesson in the last couple of years: People can say what they want about us, at any time … and we cannot control that. The only thing we can control is our reaction to it. I figure we have two options: We can let it change you … option two is you just shake it off.”

The new album 1989 is available now for pre-order and will officially be released on October 27, 2014.

We finally have new images for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, the second exciting instalment by director Robert Rodriguez, taking place in the cult comic book universe created by Frank Miller.

The highly anticipated sequel to Sin City returns with the joint efforts of the graphic author and Texan director. Following the same strategy as in the first run, they are planning to remix several stories from the comic, as well as additional arcs that Miller created specifically for the film.

The first part is titled “The Fat Loss” once again starring Jessica Alba and Bruce Willis as main characters of the plot. We will also get to see “The Long Bad Night”, with the young Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing a gambling aficionado who makes the grave mistake of winning a card game against one of the most powerful men in the city of sin. There’ll also be pieces from “Just Another Saturday Night” by Micky Rourke and “A Dame To Kill For” which provides the backbone for the entire film, starring Josh Brolin and Eva Green. Dwight (Josh Brolin) will seek vengeance on the woman who betrayed him, the mysterious and ruthless Ava Lord (Eva Green), leaving us and the ruthless streets of Sin City, witness to all the wrath, pure hatred and blood.

A curious highlight we can look forward to in the film, will be the noteworthy appearance of the chameleon-like singer Lady Gaga who will play Bertha, a bar waitress in one of the pieces. This is the second time that she’s taken to working with Robert Rodríguez, first time being her portrayal of The Chameleon, a villain from Machete Kills.

The castofSin City: ADame To KillFor will also star Christopher Meloni, Ray Liotta, Juno Temple, Dennis Hayspert, Rosario Dawson and Michael Madsen.

We will finally see the reunion of action monsters Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, 10 years after their first successful collaboration, which will crash land in the major US cinemas on the 22nd of August. However, there are still no news of a release date of the highly anticipated film in the rest of the world.

Chris Brown returns to the music scene with the release of a new music video called New Flame. It’s got a smooth mid-tempo R&B beat, featuring two luxurious stars, Usher and rapper Rick Ross. In addition to these popular artists, Verse Simmonds and Eric Bellinger spice up the video.

New Flame is a new single from Chris’ new album “X”, which will be the 6th studio album for the young artist after a long break since Fortune back in 2012. After numerous setbacks and delays, Rihanna’s ex-lover has set the final release date to 16th of September.

The video, shot on the same set as Work Bitch! by Britney Spears, oozes elegance and without a doubt, Chris Brown’s signature choreography, a sea of beautiful young women and everybody clad in white.

In this clip Chris, Usher and Rick Ross are all completely dressed in white, as well as the glamorous beauties in their bikinis. Well, all but one mysterious lady, wearing an elegant red gown. The main focus falls on Chris Brown’s epic dance skills, Usher’s enchanting charisma and Rick Ross’ bullet-quick phrasing, performing shirtless from atop of a throne, adorned with gold necklaces – with a typical gangster look. The video eventually unravels to the precise choreography and highlights an enormous flaming X as the backdrop, referencing Brown’s latest works.

The artist himself announced the premiere of the video, not even 24 hours ago, on Twitter with “I got a special gift for the fans today! #NewFlame #XTheAlbum”.

After hearing Fine China, Don’t Think They Know with the passed Aaliyah, Love More featuring Nicki Minaj, Loyal and now New Flame, the world is ready for whatever Chris has planned to launch, in less than a month. We’re expecting a promising album with other high-flyers such as Pharrel Williams and Timbaland.

David Guetta has released a Spaghetti Western style music video for his hot summer hit Lovers On The Sun. The Good, The Villains and The Sexy battle it out in the scorching desert heat.

Ray Liotta (Goodfellas star) plays the head villain in this special effects-filled extravaganza. The veteran Hollywood star is intent on torturing the hero of the video but fortunately he is saved in the nick of time by a sexy heroine with magical powers.

The summer blockbuster track features soulful vocals from Sam Martin and is co-produced by Avicii. The song is soaring up the charts in the US, Australia and Europe and now that it has been paired with this great visual it will probably top the charts. It’s already peaked in the Top 10 in more than a dozen countries – this is obviously a ‘double DJ power’ anthem.

Lovers On The Sun is taken from Guetta’s latest EP of the same name, which was released in June this year. This suitably epic visual premiered on August 12.

Johnny Depp is Mortdecai – watch the 1st trailer for this spy comedy co-starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor & Paul Bettany. Depp plays a debonair art dealer, gentleman spy and part-time rogue… just how we like him!

This laugh-out-loud trailer shows a moustached Depp traversing the globe to try and recover a stolen painting which supposedly contains a code to some lost bank account filled with Nazi gold. Charlie Mortdecai travels to Los Angeles, which he describs as a “terribly vulgar place”, juggles some Russians, the MI5, his impossibly leggy wife and an international terrorist. It’s slapstick comedy at it’s best and Depp has managed to create, yet again, a wonderfully eccentric Englishman. Ewan McGregor plays Inspector Martland, who coaxes Mortdecai to help with the investigation in return for turning a blind eye to his civic debts. Paul Bettany plays the unfortunately named manservant Jock Strapp.

Directed by David Koepp, the film is based on the novels by Kyril Bonfiglioli and specifically The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery. The book was finished by the satirist Craig Brown in 1999 following Bonfiglioli’s death in 1985. There are three more Mortdecai books – Don’t Point That Thing at Me, Something Nasty in the Woodshed and After You with the Pistol, all published between 1972 and 1979. So should this film be a hit there is plenty of material for sequels.

Look out for Mortdecai in cinemas next year – in the UK on January 30 and in the US and rest of the world a week later.

Iggy Azalea & Rita Ora play sexy samurais in their new music video for Black Widow. This mini movie pays tribute to the Quentin Tarantino cult classic ‘Kill Bill’.

Directed by Iggy and Director X, the cinematic visual sees the talented babes taking on their enemies in perfect samurai style. Both of them wear skin tight jumpsuits as they go after Rita’s rude and aggressive boyfriend wielding katanas (the traditionally made Japanese swords). Rita’s boyfriend is played by Kill Bill star Michael Madsen. Also look out for the cameo by T.I.

Both girls underwent two days of training in martial arts before filming began. Rita Ora talked to Esteban Serrano of Fuse TV about the intense training they needed. “It was us learning how to hold a sword, and it was so difficult. It’s like a dance choreography—you’ve got to know when the guy’s about to hit you, so you don’t get knocked out. We put a lot of time into this video; we wanted it to be right, we didn’t want to be two badasses that weren’t really badasses.”

The song’s catchy hook is sung by Rita Ora and the lyrics dance around revenge and feminism in a failed relationship. The track was initially recorded by Katy Perry for her 4th studio album Prism (2013) but in the end was excluded from the track listing and handed to Iggy Azalea to finish. The final version was co-written by Azalea, Perry, Sarah Hudson, Benny Blanco, and its producers StarGate.

The song is already doing well – it’s at Nº19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is soaring up the Digital Charts 15-8, having moved 100,000 copies. The girls will be performing the song live at the VMA’s.

Black Widow is the 5th single to be lifted from Iggy’s debut studio album The New Classic (2014). It will be officially released on September 14 in the UK.

Professor Green has unveiled a music video for his new single Lullaby featuring the gorgeous vocals of US singer-songwriter Tori Kelly. It’s pretty strong stuff, you might need the tissues.

The music video follows the story of a young boy growing up with his Grandfather who eventually has a heart attack and dies. It’s a beautiful, heart rending look at losing someone you love and all the emotions that surround it. The lyrics talk about the suicide of Green’s father – a topic that has been aired on both of his previous albums with songs like Read All About It and Forever Falling .

Lullaby is sure to be smash hit, produced by Chris Loco and featuring the vocals of Tori Kelly – the latest protege of manager Scooter Braun. “It is an honour to be on the same song with such a respected artist like Professor Green,” said Tori. “When I first heard Lullaby I knew it would be an amazing opportunity to sing it. Then when I met him and we got to perform it together, it all seemed to sink in. I became even more excited and more in love with the song.”

Professor Green is one of the crossover superstars of British music with an enviable career that has seen two Top 3 albums and eight consecutive Top 40 singles. He has sold half a million albums and 1.75 million singles in the UK alone. With three headline tours under his belt, plus countless festival performances on stages such as Glastonbury, Wireless and V Festival, this new album will add another chapter to his all-successful career.

Lullaby is the first single to be taken from Green’s upcoming third studio album Growing Up In Public. The single will be released by Virgin EMI on September 15, with the album following on September 22.

“Brace yourself for something so fantastically fantastical that you’ll soil yourself from intergalactic excitement. Get ready to…Break Free!” So pronounces the Star Wars type scroll at the start of Ariana Grande’s new spacey video for her new single with DJ Zedd.

The 4-minute clip is an intergalactic adventure that pays tribute to Star Wars, Barbarella and the sci-fi B-movies of the ’70s and ’80s. Ariana kicks plenty of alien butt in this campy adventure – she has a laser gun and certainly knows how to use it! Oh yes, she also shoots rockets from her boobs and strips down in an anti gravity chamber…you have to watch this to believe what we’re saying! It’s weird, really weird, but a whole lot of retro fun! For sure, it will spawn a whole plethora of hysterically funny gifs across the internet.

Directed by Chris Marrs Piliero and produced by Zedd, who makes an appearance at the end of the clip, Ariana Grande is a complete Space Babe in this video. Although it’s nothing like her other productions there are a few details that we’ve come to expect – the white knee-high platform boots, her high ponytail, plenty of sultry looks into the camera and the lying-on-the-floor-with-her-hair -fanned out behind her. There’s also the statutory appearance by Beats music app and headphones. But hey, this video doesn’t take itself too seriously which is why we love it!

This is Ariana’s second music video from her new album ‘My Everything’ and sees Ariana break free from her usual pop-R&B genre into EDM and electropop. “I never thought I’d do an EDM song, but that was an eye-opening experience, and now all I want to do is dance,” explained Ariana.

In an interview in May this year Russian-German musician and producer Zedd talked about wanting to collaborate with Ariana after first hearing her voice at a Universal showcase: “I was backstage and I heard someone sing. And I didn’t know who it was, and I just said ‘I want to make a song with whoever is singing right now.’ I didn’t know who it was, and it turned out being her. And luckily, now there’s a song!”

Ariana Grande will be performing this song live at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 24,2014.

UK pop sensation George Ezra has released a music video for his new single Blame It On Me and it’s quite hilarious – although one shouldn’t laugh at others misfortunes, you just can’t help it….poor George 🙂

Starting with bird shit on his shirt, George’s day gets progressively worse. We’re not going to spoil the video for you, but suffice to say he does run into a spot of bother….

Blame it on Me is taken from George’s debut album ‘Wanted on Voyage’ which has been sitting on the top 10 of the UK Album Charts for weeks, currently at Nº5. His hugely successful single ‘Budapest’ is also at Nº5 on the Singles charts.

21-year old George has a gravelly, bass-baritone voice that belies his young years – when you first hear it you are convinced he must be at least 40. He was placed fifth in the BBC Sound of 2014 and he puts his own spin on folk and blues. George is an immensely likeable character – just like all the songs on his new album. He is much more than just a unique voice – his song writing ability is outstanding and his smart, playful personality sets him apart from his peers.

George Ezra plays V Festival this weekend, 16th-17th August.

Oscar-winning actor and beloved comedian Robin Williams died of a suspected suicide at his home in northern California last night at just 63 years of age. A forensic examination is scheduled for later to finally determine the cause of death.

Robin’s wife, Susan Schneider, led the tributes last night – “This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin’s family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief.”

President Obama made a statement last night: “Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit.”

Robin left behind four finished films that will hit our cinemas over the next year. He reprised his role as Teddy Roosevelt in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb and stars in the Christmas comedy Merry Friggn’ Christmas, due out this November. He had also appeared in the drama Boulevard and provided the voice of Dennis the Dog in Absolutely Anything, due out next year.

The whole of Hollywood, and it seems most of the world, is in mourning for this legendary actor and comedian who brought us so much laughter. It’s a very strange feeling when someone that you don’t know personally dies and yet you feel incredibly sad and touched. Tributes continue to pour in on Twitter and Social Media sites:

Comedian Eddie Izzard said: “Robin Williams has died and I am very sad. From every comedian here at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, we salute him & we say goodbye.”

Ellen DeGeneres: “I can’t believe the news about Robin Williams. He gave so much to so many people. I’m heartbroken.”

Jonathan Ross: “Robin Williams is gone. I loved him. Incredibly talented performer. Wonderfully sweet and generous person. Heartbreaking news. So sad.”

Kevin Spacey: “Robin Williams made the world laugh & think. I will remember & honor that. A great man, artist and friend. I will miss him beyond measure.”

#RIPRobinWilliams. You gave us so much! Thank you for all the laughter you brought us. We salute you Robin and say goodbye.

It may have been a long time coming but yesterday Nico & Vinz scored their first Nº1 on the UK singles chart with their debut hit “Am I Wrong”.

The track zoomed 51 places to give Norway their first chart-topper in 28 years! The last time a Norweigan act held the Nº1 spot was in 1986 when A-ha scored their one and only chart topper with ‘The Sun Always Shines On TV’ which held on to the top spot for 4 weeks. Although other Norweigan acts such as Abba, A1 and Aqua have made it to Nº1, Nico & Vinz are the first since A-ha to be completely Norweigan.

Nico & Vinz told the Official Charts company: “Wow! Thanks to all our British fans for making Am I Wrong the Number 1 single!  Growing up in Oslo, we always dreamed of being at the top of the UK chart so for this now to be true is completely surreal. We are extremely grateful to you for making that happen and can’t wait to come and play it for you guys live very soon.”

Nico & Vinz started their musical career in 2009 when they were called ‘Envy’. They changed their names in January 2014 after the worldwide success of ‘Am I Wrong’. They created their music as a fusion of diverse genres from reggae to soul to pop.

The music video, directed and edited by Kavar Singh, was filmed in Maun, Botswana and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. The idea was to try and present a positive view of Africa to counteract all the negative news stories

In an interview with Good Morning America they were asked about the meaning of the song and the inspiration behind it: “Inspiration is coming from a small country, but having huge dreams and people telling you, man, that’s not realistic, come on, you can’t be on the top of America or the top of the world or whatever we dream of.”

‘Am I Wrong’ has reached the Nº1 spot in seven countries, including the US and the UK and the top 10 in over 20 countries. By the end of July 2014 the track was the most ’Shazammed’ song in the world and has been streamed more than 100 million times on Spotify.

Currently Nico & Vinz are touring the US with Bruno Mars and working on their upcoming album Blackstar Elephant which will be released this autumn.
