Surprise!! 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is on its way to you 🔜! The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th. To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long! Pre order 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on my site 😎

It’s worth considering that according to Pollstar, the global average face-value concert ticket in 2000 cost $35.19, which is equivalent to approximately $63 today after inflation. That kind of price hike is notable: Ticket prices have gone up faster than the cost of other consumer goods over the last 20 years." > >

Get it quick!

Singer Dua Lipa is facing a multi-million dollar copyright claim over the use of a recording in her hit single Levitating.

The legal action was filed by musician Bosko Kante, who claims the star used a recording made with his talk box in remixes of the song without permission.

The talk box is a wearable device that makes vocal vibrations sound like musical instruments.

Dua Lipa and her label Warner Music Group have not responded to the claims.

Levitating is one of Dua Lipa's most popular tracks from her 2020 album Future Nostalgia.

The legal action, which was filed in Los Angeles on Monday, claims Bosko is entitled to more than $20m (£15.6m).

It says British-Albanian star Dua Lipa had permission to use the talk box on the original recording but not on any remixes, Reuters reported.

It alleges the 27-year-old reused the work without permission on further releases, including The Blessed Madonna remix, which featured Madonna and Missy Elliott, another remix featuring DaBaby and a performance by Dua Lipa at the American Music Awards.

Bosko is yet to comment publicly on his claim, however Billboard reports his lawyers say he has made "numerous attempts" to resolve the matter, which they call a "blatant infringement" of his copyright.

Lawyers maintain Bosko has taken legal action because the singer and her label had shown "unwillingness to co-operate or accept responsibility".

It is not the first time Dua Lipa, who is currently in the charts with her song Dance the Night Away, has faced copyright claims over Levitating.

According to Reuters, a court complaint from reggae group Artikal Sound System was dismissed in June - and a separate claim, by songwriters Sandy Linzer and L. Russell Brown, continues.

In 2021, she was also sued over claims she put a paparazzi photo of herself on Instagram without permission.

Get things moving again, what is everyone listening to? What new song is stuck in your head that you have to share with everyone? What links to playlists or videos should we be listening to?

To me Zayn is always be comparable to Lana, but this song is just so mediocre compared to his last 3 albums

Instagram post has a couple more bits but I figured I'd make the main post link to the Tiktok because I couldn't find an alternative frontend for Instagram (although if anyone knows of one definitely let me know and I can edit it).

For anyone with an interest in British pop music in the mid 90s to the mid 00s, I highly recommend this book. I was expecting to just flick through it read only the chapters that covered familiar bands, but I ended up reading the whole thing. The author clearly loves this era of music and managed to get hold of many popular artists of the time to contribute. Definitely give it a read!

You Tube played this for me today. Got to say it struck me as a pretty beautiful song.

This song is growing on me. I first heard it last night, but then the lyric video came back up in my feed and it stuck more the second time.

I’ve only listened to a few of these this year, but the ones I have listened to on here have been great. L I’ve been in the mood for new music lately so I’ve got a lot of suggestions here.

What’s a new album you’ve been jamming out to this year? Outside of last years Taylor and CRJ albums Lana Del Rey’s Did you know there’s a tunnel under ocean Blvd. is probably my most listened to 23 album.

The new single from his upcoming album "Something To Give Each Other" (October 13) 🌞🔥
