Hozier has nothing but love to share with his fans after his song “Too Sweet” topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart — his first time hitting the No. 1 spot.
The singer-songwriter is also the first Irish artist — and fourth overall — to lead the chart since Sinéad O’Connor’s (who died in July 2023 at 56) “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
“I want to say a huge, huge thank you to all of the supporters, all the fans around the world,” Hozier shared in a video, posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday. “It’s absolutely staggering. I’m taken massively by surprise by it, and I want to say thank you for your support. I’m so thrilled that you’re enjoying ‘Too Sweet,’ and it means the world to me.”
Previously, O’Connor’s song spent four weeks at No. 1 in 1990, while the rock band U2 achieved the feat twice in 1987 with “I Still Haven...

Pour a glass of whiskey neat, because Hozier has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time ever with his viral hit “Too Sweet.” After initially debuting at No. 5 and quickly climbing to No. 2, the Unheard EP track now stands as the Irish singer’s highest performing effort, besting his 2013 smash “Take Me to Church,” which peaked at No. 2.
Per Billboard, the domination of “Too Sweet” also marks the first time an Irish artist has secured a No. 1 song on the Hot 100 since Sinéad O’Connor accomplished the feat in 1990 with “Nothing Compares 2 U.” In fact, Hozier is just the fourth Irish artist in history to hit No. 1 on the chart, with O’Connor, U2, and Gilbert O’Sullivan as the only other Irish acts to have done so.

Have you ever looked at Donald Trump and pictured him getting down to “Despacito”? Popping his geriatric kneecaps to “God’s Plan”? Well, the Republican National Committee has. The RNC featured both songs in the first installment of a playlist series aimed at generating hype around its 2024 nominating convention, which will take place in Milwaukee this July and crown Trump as the party’s official presidential nominee.
Notably, the playlist features few pro-Trump artists — and none of the cringe-inducing Maga rappers who’ve gone viral debasing themselves in the former president’s name.

Music movies are having a moment — if, indeed, they ever stopped having one. Take the pop-music biopic. There are times, like right now, when it surges in popularity, yet the form has never gone out of style. And music documentaries, a staple of the indie-film world, have only proliferated during the streaming era. This means that they have to compete for visibility, but a ton of them are getting made and (mostly) getting seen. They’ve become a happy epidemic.
A few, like “Amy” or “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?,” are popular and vital enough to have carved out a place in the culture — and, in the case of both those films, to have inspired the creation of a biopic. I have it on good authority that when you’re trying to put together a music documentary, the prospect of it spawning a biopic can be a key selling point.

Bratz is celebrating Women’s History Month by unveiling a concept doll in tribute to Sinéad O’Connor.
Honoring O’Connor just eight months after she passed away, the doll depicts the “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer with her signature shaved head. While she isn’t ripping up any photos of the Pope, she is donning her “Jesus is coming — look busy” shirt, with sunglasses, baggy jeans, and a quintessentially-Bratz blinged-out lip-shaped handbag.
“Women’s Month continues with Sinéad O’Connor, an Irish singer, songwriter, and activist with a passion for ‘90z grunge fashion,” a post by Bratz on Instagram read. “O’Connor, who passed away in 2023, first debuted her scorchin’ buzzcut in 1987 when she was just 20 years old — two years after she signed her record deal.

Karl Wallinger, the frontman of World Party who earlier played with The Waterboys, died March 10 at 66. No cause or location was given by his publicist in the confirmation.
The Welsh-born songwriter wrote World Party’s “Ship of Fools,” “Put the Message in the Box,” “Is It Like Today?” and “She’s the One,” which later was a hit cover for Robbie Williams.
Born Karl Edmond de Vere Wallinger on October 19 1957, he began his musical career in various bands as a keyboard player, then took a job in music publishing, which was followed by a brief stint as the musical director of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Wallinger joined the Waterboys in 1983 and played on their first three albums as a multi-instrumentalist, including on its biggest hit, “The Whole of the Moon.” That track reached the Top 30 in the UK before its 1991 re-release hit No. 3.

Karl Wallinger, the creative force behind the neo-psych project World Party and one-time member of The Waterboys, has died at the age of 66.
According to a statement from his publicist, Wallinger died on Sunday (March 10th). No cause of death has been revealed.
The Welsh-born musician and mind behind such tracks as “Ship of Fools,” “She’s the One,” “Whole of the Moon,” and more first joined The Waterboys in 1983 as a keyboard player after being recruited by Mike Scott. Wallinger’s quickly became an instrumental member of the group, introducing synth bass and orchestrations to their sound — as heard on 1984’s A Pagan Place and 1985’s This Is the Sea.

In the short essay, Etheridge spoke about the ways the music industry boys’ club has long cast a shadow on the “decades of music defined by incredible women dominating the chart.” Amidst those more public-facing successes, she argued, many...

Former president Donald Trump’s campaign to retake the White House is under fire from the estate of late pop singer Sinéad O’Connor this week after her iconic No. 1 hit “Nothing Compares 2 U” has been used at the Republican hopeful’s rallies.
The campaign for Trump, who is a lock for the Republican Party nomination for the presidency after blowing past his primary competition, played the song — written by Prince for his band, The Family, and later rearranged in a cover by the Irish singer-songwriter — at rallies in North Carolina and Maryland last week. Using the 1990 hit from O’Connor, who was known equally for the track as she was for her political activism, brought a harsh rebuke in a joint statement from her label and estate that was widely published on Monday.

As a fierce advocate of women’s rights and a converted Muslim, Sinead O’Connor was not a fan of Donald Trump — and that’s putting it lightly. In a 2021 interview, the Irish singer-songwriter said, “I actually do believe Donald Trump is the biblical Devil, the fucker.”
So you can understand her estate’s consternation over Trump’s decision to play O’Connor’s version of “Nothing Compares 2 U” at his recent campaign rallies. In a statement released on Monday, O’Connor’s estate demanded that Trump cease playing the song immediately.
“Throughout her life, it is well known that Sinéad O’Connor lived by a fierce moral code defined by honesty, kindness, fairness and decency towards her fellow human beings. It was with outrage therefore that we learned that Donald Trump has been using her iconic performance of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ at his political rallies. It is no exaggeration to say...

London, March 4 (Ians) The estate of the late Irish singer-songwriter-social activist Sinead O’Connor has denounced the Republican Party’s presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s use of her performance of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ at his recent campaign rallies, reports ‘Variety’.
The single ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ was a part of her best-selling 1990 album ‘I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got’, which sold seven million copies worldwide. It was voted the No. 1 world single of the year at the Billboard Music Awards.
In a statement to ‘Variety’, O’Connor’s estate and label Chrysalis Records demanded that Trump cease playing the song immediately.
O’Connor, incidentally, passed away at the age of 56 on July 26, 2023, after converting to Islam in 2018. She was a lifelong critic of the Roman Catholic Church’s murky record of alleged child abuse.

From “28 Days Later” through to his recent, Oscar-nominated turn in “Oppenheimer,” Cillian Murphy has cultivated a reputation as a strong, silent type — all while resisting the inscrutability associated with that masculine cliché. His beautiful, sharp-boned face twitches and tightens and teems with feeling. Closeups always catch it thinking, wrestling with surges of vulnerability or violence, or watching other characters in turn. It’s always busy, never blank. A story of the unspeakable gradually leaving the realm of the unsaid, “Small Things Like These” rests on both his quiet and his disquiet as an actor. As a blue-collar family man growing increasingly alert to misdeeds in the sacred heart of his community, he’s not just the conscience of Belgian director Tim Mielants’ delicate, understated film, but its live emotional current.
For if Murphy’s character Bill Furlong is quiet, the town around him is practically petrified. A sleepy settlement in Ireland’s County Wexford,...

For the biggest night in music, the Grammy Awards consistently struggle to overcome their ordinariness. In previous years, the show seemed to be on a confused search for meaning. An identity crisis instigated by years of snubs and accelerated by the pandemic led comedian Trevor Noah to admit in 2022 that the event was “a concert where we give out awards.”
That sentiment still rings true two years later. With most of the categories abandoned to an energetic but sparsely attended preshow ceremony, the main telecast feels like a trying exhibition and a hotbed of contradictions. To watch the Grammys in 2024 is to witness an insistence on fun without much actual evidence of it.
Some of that has to do with the forces that have changed how people consume awards shows. Is it worth another subscription to tune in to a more-than-three-hour showcase, especially if you can catch the snipped and...

Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor was found dead in her home in July 2023. The cause of death was not disclosed at the time, but on Tuesday, a London coroner revealed that the reason for her death was due to “natural causes.”
The singer of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” a song written by Prince, was 56 at the time of her death and had been dealing with mental health struggles for many years. She had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder.
The artist’s son, Shane Lunny O’Connor, committed suicide at age 17, adding additional stress to her mental health. Despite these concerns, O’Connor’s death was not considered to be related to her mental health battle.
Her family released a statement at the time of her death displaying their devastation and honoring Sinéad, saying, “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad.

Sinéad O’Connor died of natural cases, the coroner in London has said.
The “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer died last summer at the age of 56, and the following day London’s Metropolitan Police said the death was not being treated as “suspicious.”

Aretha Franklin is one of the few artists who could perform Mariah Carey songs and do them justice. The Queen of Soul covered some of Carey’s tunes but one was too risque for her to sing it in full. Carey revealed how she reacted to this development. She also dissed the way Franklin was perceived as a musician.

In addition to being the Queen of Soul, Franklin was also the Queen of Cover Songs. She recorded tracks by The Beatles, Adele, The Rolling Stones, Gloria Gaynor, The Supremes, and Sinéad O’Connor. According to Rolling Stone, she actually released her version of “Let It Be” before The Beatles did! Even Franklin’s most famous track, “Respect,” was a rendition of an earlier tune by Otis Redding.

Charlie Puth and Adam Levine were both guest stars on the Howard Stern Show on Wednesday and spent some time palling around after their interviews.
Puth last visited the show back in 2022 and shared that since then he has gotten engaged to Brooke Sansone.
“I looked back at the footage, and I was smiling because … I knew I was going to ask her soon and it was like right after your show,” Puth shared with Howard Stern.
Before proposing, Puth made sure to get her parents blessing “out of respect.”
He shared the details of the proposal, explaining that although he was confident in his decision, he was also anxious. Hours before, he decided to buy some pizza after he picked up the ring. He recalled, “I had a Sicilian slice, had tons of heartburn, had to take a lot of Pepcid, and watched the longest episode of Suits ever.

Continuing her annual tradition of releasing holiday charity singles, Phoebe Bridgers has recruited fellow boygenius members Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker along with the Irish folk duo Ye Vagabonds for a cover of the popular traditional ballad “The Parting Glass.” Stream it below.
All net proceeds from the track will go to the Aisling Project, an after school intervention program that works with children and young people growing up in a disadvantaged area of Dublin. The charity was chosen by the Estate of the late Sinéad O’Connor, who recorded her own version of the song in 2002.

Ten years after Sinéad O’Connor wrote an open letter to Miley Cyrus criticizing her sexy “Wrecking Ball” video, the former “Hannah Montana” star said she now regards the Irish singer’s critiques in a different light.
O’Connor, who received enormous backlash after ripping up a photo of the pope on “Saturday Night Live” in 1992 to protest sexual abuse in the Catholic church, told Cyrus in 2013 that she was “pimping” herself in the video and to stop “getting naked.”
At the time of the song’s release, Cyrus told Rolling Stone that it was a “modern version” of O’Connor’s best-selling hit “Nothing Compares 2 U.” She then responded to O’Connor’s criticism of the single’s music video at the time by poking fun at her mental health struggles and tweeting, “Sinead. I don’t have time to write you an open letter cause I’m hosting and performing on ‘SNL’ this week.

On Tuesday, as the funeral car drove past her old residence in Bray, Country Wicklow, hundreds gathered in the streets of Ireland to bid an emotional goodbye to the late Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor.
Covered in pink, white and blue flowers, the singer’s coffin lay in the cortege that also displayed a picture of hers through the back window. Her music played from a van draped in pride flags. Amidst cheers, claps and a shower of flowers, the public funeral procession saw fans mourn the death of their beloved singer.
Now, the late singer’s final song is set to be released – her rendition of the time-travel series Outlander‘s theme song, “The Skye Boat Song.” The song was updated for each season and the producers asked O’Connor to create her own version. O’Connor said that she really related to the lead character, Clare, who traveled back in time to 18th-century Scotland.
