The Song We Can’t Stop Thinking About Since ‘Saltburn’
Sophie Ellis-Bextor really did something with this one. The song that was originally released in 2001 has risen back to the top of the charts thanks to the release of Saltburn. The phenomenon of older songs gaining popularity through film or TV exposure is not new, as seen with examples like Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” in “Stranger Things” – we all know how long that lasted. Sophie is surprised at the song finding a new audience, stating it feels “magical” to see it making new memories for people.

The performance aims to recreate the experience of seeing Elvis live, featuring a life-sized digital representation of the iconic musician singing his legendary songs.

Spice Girls Will Be Traveling Far To Celebrate Their 30th
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my stamps. The Spice Girls’ upcoming 30th anniversary will be commemorated with a special Royal Mail stamp collection. The 12-stamp set will highlight significant live performances from the iconic girl band’s career, both as a group and individually. Featured performances include the 1997 BRIT Awards, the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, Victoria Beckham’s solo performance during the Return of the Spice Girls Tour in 2008, and Emma Bunton’s solo performance at Wembley Stadium in 1998. The stamp collection follows similar tributes to music acts like Iron Maiden and The Rolling Stones. While there have been hints of a possible Spice Girls reunion for their 30th anniversary, no specific plans have been confirmed, but we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed.
