Lainey Wilson and Chris Stapleton Win Top ACM Awards, Post Malone Gets a Big Look

Sabrina Carpenter’s smash hit ‘Espresso’ has completed an entire month at the top of the UK Singles Chart.On Friday (May 24), the song was announced as the Number One for a fourth consecutive week, holding off the challenge of Billie Eilish, whose track ‘LUNCH’ could only claim the Number Two spot.‘Espresso’s four-week supremacy matches Beyoncé’s ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ earlier this year, although Noah Kahan’s ‘Stick Season’ managed a total of seven weeks at the top in January and February.The song arrived last month, and came as the follow-up to Carpenter’s hit 2022 album ‘Emails I Can’t Send’ and recent singles ‘Nonsense’ and ‘Feather’.The singer also dropped a Christmas EP last year and hit the road with Taylor Swift, joining the pop icon as the support act for her recent run of ‘Eras’ tour dates across the US and Asia.Carpenter recently opened up about her mindset when she was writing the song. “There was something really exciting about the fact that there was so much personality throughout the entire song, because those are the ones that are really, really fun to sing live with a crowd,” she explained.“Those are the ones that people, I think when they don’t know my music or who I am or anything, they can just tune in to a single song and kind of leave with a better idea of my sense of humour.”She went on to say that the song was an attempt to capture a moment of self-confidence.

Dua Lipa has revealed that she was forced to change some of the choreography in her live set after slipping on sweat.During a recent interview with SiriusXM, the ‘Radical Optimism’ singer said: “I fell over on my tour, I think once in Barcelona, once in Milan on the same spot, and it was just the hottest week in Europe (via Music News).“And so some of my dancers were just sweating a little bit extra. And so I slipped on a little sweat puddle and we kind of had to change the choreo so I don’t get a little puddle of sweat right where I’m about to start dancing.”Lipa went on to say that such on-stage mishaps were “all part of the experience” when touring, adding: “You got to get a little bruised.”In other news, the pop star has talked about how she “manifested” headlining Glastonbury Festival “by album three” early on in her career.
