Killers song ‘Mr Brightside’ has officially broken a huge singles record in the UK.As announced today (May 9) by Official Charts, the now-legendary 2004 track has taken over from Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’ to become the UK’s official biggest single of all time yet to reach Number One.Released as part of their debut album ‘Hot Fuss’, which was shared 20 years ago this month, the song didn’t go on to top the charts, but did end up becoming an unmissable part of British culture.Initially it dropped in 2003 as the follow-up to the band’s Number Three charting single ‘Somebody Told Me’, and the synth-laden anthem peaked at a somewhat modest Number 10 slot on the charts. However, two decades on, has gone on to become the longest-running Top 100 hit in Official Chart history.According to new figures from the Official Charts Company, it has been shown that with UK sales and streams of 5.57million – including 1.066million sales and 530,340,000 streams – the song is now the UK’s most successful song of all time yet to reach Number One.It has also been shown to be the third biggest song of all time in the UK when sales and streams are combined.When it was first shared, it only spent a few weeks in the charts before dropping out, but fast forward to 2024 and the song has now spent 408 weeks (just under eight years) and counting in the Official Singles Chart Top 100 – holding the title of the most weeks on chart of any song in UK Official Chart history.On average, it is being streamed in the UK around 1.8million times per week, and there’s no sign of it slowing, either.

Pet Shop Boys have spoken out about their namecheck in Eminem’s diss track ‘Can-I-Bitch’, joking about the good “humour” of the rapper.Released on ‘Straight from the Lab’ bootleg album, Eminem’s ‘Can-I-Bitch’ – a diss track aimed at fellow rapper Canibus – included Eminem mimicking the sound of a car hitting someone and the lyric, “What was that? Pet Shop Boys”, implying he and producer/mentor Dr Dre had mowed down the 2017 NME Godlike Genius award recipients.‘Can-I-Bitch’ is thought partly to be an answer-song to Pet Shop Boys’ ‘The Night I Fell in Love’, the penultimate song on their 2002 album ‘Release’ – detailing the story of a teenage boy who has a one-night-stand with his rap idol after a gig.Despite Eminem never being explicitly mentioned by name, it includes lyrical references that appear to point to Marshall Mathers as inspiration – including ‘Over breakfast made jokes about Dre and his homies’, and ‘Then he joked: ‘Hey man, your name isn’t Stan, is it?’ (as a nod to Eminem’s 2000 chart-topping single).

What is Taylor Swift’s Billie Jean?'”He went on: “‘Shake it Off’? Is it though? I listened to that the other day and it is not ‘Billie Jean.’”Swift, 34, dropped her 11th studio album on April 19, which included a whopping 31 new songs seemingly about multiple ex-boyfriends, including Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy and John Mayer.Swift’s fans often theorize who she’s writing about with her lyrics and Easter eggs. She and Healy, 35, briefly dated last summer after her six-year relationship with Alwyn, 33, ended.
