Topical Tuesday 18.10.16

We took a look back at the week's music news so far

They’ve never been a band to shy away from political turbulence so it seems perfectly fitting that they’ve came to the spotlight once again with an anti-Trump anthem.

Green Day - When I Come Around

Green Day have now achieved what only a handful of performing artists can say. They have reached the coveted milestone of having created music in four decades. Not only have they kicked up a storm and become chart toppers on both sides of the Atlantic, front man Billie Joe has announced that he will be starring in his first movie ‘Ordinary World.’

Phil Collins - In the Air tonight

After ten years of silence where we thought that was the end of Phil Collins’ career, Collins makes his all too dramatic return. What’s not to love? With such an spectacular announcement, it would be criminal for him not to have a place on our Tuesday rundown.

Little Mix -Wings

This X-Factor graduate band completed the cycle at the weekend with a return to the show, this time as a performers. They debuted their newest track ‘Shout Out to my Ex’ (taking a direct dig at Perrie Edward’s ex-fiance Zayn Malik). With a return to the show that created the chart toppers, it seems only right that we take a quick look back to their first major single.

Beyoncé - Crazy in Love

In case you missed this quirky piece of news, Queen Bey ripped her ear open mid concert. We have got to give her some major credit for carrying on the show.

David Bowie - Heroes

It comes as no surprise to hear that the musician of 50-years had unreleased pieces when he died back in January. Blackstar, his last studio album was met by critical acclaim just days before he died earlier this year. But he recorded a second version using a jazz troupe.

Lady Gaga - Born This Way

For the last few years the iconic pop princess has taken a brief pause from making music, but now new work is on it's way. It was announced earlier today that she will be documenting the making of her new album Joanne.
