What are the greatest songs by Ariana Grande? The singer with her signature powerhouse voice has made a name for herself on the charts and on the awards scene, so we’ve ranked our favorite songs she has recorded … so far. Did your favorite make the cut? And what do you think of our choice for her best song ever?
Grande started out on Broadway when she was just 15 in the musical “13,” which featured an entirely teenage cast. Then she broke out even bigger a couple of years later when she played Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon comedy “Victorious” in the early 2010s and then its spinoff “Sam and Cat.”

Someone dance with Conan Gray, so he doesn’t cry!
On Friday, the Gen Z pop star released his newest single, “Lonely Dancers,” just days after he announced his third album, Found Heaven.
The Eighties synth-infused pop song, co-produced by Max Martin, Ilya, and Oscar Holter, hears Gray singing to another “lonely dancer” at a bar as he welcomes him onto the dancefloor. In the video, Gray stumbles upon his love interest kissing someone else and proceeds to dance away his troubles in a bar filled with frozen patrons.

Singer-songwriter The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Lights’ has become the first song to pass the 4 billion stream mark on Spotify.
The song passed Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape of You’ as the all-time most-streamed song on the service just over a year ago, and it is one of two Weeknd songs in the top 10: his 2016 song ‘Starboy’ is at Number 6, with nearly 2.5 billion streams, reports Variety.
So, what does all of that mean? Between $15.5 million and $17.5 million in royalties for the sound recording, with another $4.5 million or so in publishing, depending on which figures (and which online royalty calculators) one uses. While some services pay more than others and calculations vary widely, Spotify generally pays between $.003 and $.004 per stream.
As per Variety, that’s $20 million-plus for one song on one streaming service (albeit the biggest song on the world’s biggest paid streaming service). Does The Weeknd pocket all that money himself?...

Charli Xcx has unleashed the surprise new single “Good Ones,” as well as the song’s “twisted, dramatic and quite frankly electrifying music video.”
In a self-penned press release, the singer writes of “Good Ones,” “The first single of my new chapter embraces all that my life has to offer in today’s world – fame, glamour, inner demons and global hits. ‘Good Ones’ was produced by Oscar Holter of Max Martin’s Wolf Cousins entity, and laments my inability to keep hold of healthy relationships, instead being endlessly drawn back to the dysfunctional and toxic.

The Grammy Award for Record of the Year goes to the artists, producers, engineers and mixers behind the year’s best recording. So who will win when awards are handed out in 2021? The eligibility period for the 63rd annual kudos is September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020. Scroll down to see the top contenders.
The Grammy eligibility period used to be a little different. It previously ran from October 1 through September 30, but the recording academy shifted everything by a month as a result of the Oscars decision to hold their 2020 Oscars in early February, which had been the Grammys’ turf. So music’s biggest night moved to January and it tweaked its calendar. That means a lot of 2021’s major contenders had already been released by the time the 2020 awards were handed out.
