Artful Dodger Ft. Craig David - Rewind

Still gliding on the high of 2016, Craig David has been asked to switch on the famous Christmas lights in London's Oxford Street. He said: "It's a great honour to be switching on the lights and lighting up Oxford Street. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and an incredible 2017."

Zayn Malik - Pillow Talk

In his autobiography, the solo artist revealed that he suffered with an eating disorder while he was in boy band, One Direction. He said: "It wasn't as though I had any concerns about my weight or anything like that. I'd just go for days, sometimes two or three days straight, without eating anything at all. It got quite serious, although at the time I didn't recognise it for what it was."

Radiohead - Creep

Radiohead have announced some new headline shows and festival dates in Europe for 2017. They'd already announced they'll be headlining Glastonbury Festival but they'll also be playing two dates at the Manchester Arena on 4 and 5 July. Tickets go on sale on 4 November.

Hilary Duff - Wake Up

More than ever before, Halloween costumes are causing mass upset. Hilary duff caused quite a stir with her pilgrim costume, oops. She and her boyfriend Jason Walsh, have received a backlash over their 'insensitive' outfit choices. The singer and actress has since issued an apology for anyone she offended.

Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk

Another copycat claim? It was the song of 2015, buying Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars undeniable success but it's now facing a spell of legal action in the states. Larry White and the estates of Grady Wilkins and Lee Peters claim that the song is "an obvious, strikingly and/or substantially similar copy” of their earlier work.

Calvin Harris - My Way

It truly has been the breakup of 2016. Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris called it quits on their 15 month relationship in June. While the rumour mill is still churning on why they spilt, the breakup turned sour almost over-night. Over the last five months there have been various tweet and attacks but the latest burn comes courtesy of Calvin's new video. Rumour has it his new video is all about Taylor Swift. For more concrete proof, Buzzfeed have got the latest on this hot gossip.

Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

It felt strange last week to celebrate the tenth anniversary Back to Black, one of the most most memorable breakthrough albums of the 21st-century. Fans are now being given the chance to record their own versions of songs from Back to Black in celebration of Amy. Fans can now download the original instrumental backing tracks and lyric videos which they can then use to film and upload their own versions to YouTube.

Anastacia - Left Outside Alone

Well that's all she wrote. Time has run out for the 90s pop sensation on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. On Sunday the singer performed the jive with her partner Brendan Cole which landed her in the dance off. Unfortunately she was unable to win over the judges. All four voted to save Daisy Lowe, so it was farewell for Anastacia. We won't forget you.

Michael Bublé - It's A Beautiful Day

So Halloween is officially over, which means two things, it's okay to plan Christmas and, more importantly, it's acceptable to blast some Bublé. While we now think of the crooner as the king of the festive season, he has just spilled some rather tragic gossip. The Canadian singer told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs how a music executive told him his music wouldn't sell. Safe to say he proved them wrong.
