End Of An Era: 20 years ago today, the final edition of Top of the Pops was recorded at BBC Television Centre in London. The show celebrated the program's legacy with classic performances from the Spice Girls, Wham!, Madonna, Beyoncé, and Robbie Williams. It also paid tribute to The Rolling Stones, the first band ever to perform on Top of the Pops, making their debut on the show's inaugural broadcast on New Year's Day in 1964. The last #1 on TOTP was Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" featuring Wyclef Jean.
During Britney Spears’ highly publicized struggles in 2007, Björk personally wrote her a heartfelt letter offering support and encouraging her to step away from the spotlight.
In the letter, Björk invited Britney to stay with her in Iceland, describing it as a peaceful place where she could escape the relentless paparazzi and media scrutiny. She reportedly wanted Britney to have the time and space to recover away from public pressure.
Years later, Björk revealed that she was deeply moved by Britney’s situation and simply wanted to help another artist going through an incredibly difficult period.

Katy Perry speaks out against the White House for using her song ‘Firework’ on a video of military strikes:
“I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.”
Después de la transmisión del primer episodio de Down Under vs. The World, la Drag Queen filipina Miss Jade So habló brevemente sobre la situación que tuvo hace días y sobre cómo la enfrentará.
"Siempre valoraré la autenticidad por encima de un falso personaje disfrazado de poder."
I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
