Now this next entry is not big or clever...in fact it's pretty mean.

But it is very funny.

Using 10 song titles from a variety of artists, including Ed Sheeran and James Arthur (above), the 19-year-old made a sentence to let her bae know that the end was in sight.

The full sentence reads: "Do You Still Want To Kiss Me Because I Am Kinda Lovin Someone Else But We Can Still Be Friends."

10/10 for creativity. Zero for compassion.

Well that ship has sailed.

The Chic guitarist was handed the Award for Musical Excellence by uber-fan Pharrell Williams at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show from the weekend.

You may remember the pair worked together along with French electro-pioneers Daft Punk on the total earworm of a track Get Lucky, external from 2013.

When receiving the award, Nile said: "They just told me a couple of months ago that I've sold over 300 million albums and 75 million singles...

"I just wanted to have one hit record."

He added:

"Be it Mick Jagger, be it Madonna, be it Duran Duran, be it Daft Punk, be it Pharrell Williams, be it Diana Ross, be it Sister Sledge. I mean it just goes on and on and on. Thank you all."

Pharrell said of his idol and recent-collaborator: "Nile has taught me the value of being one part of a bigger whole, the value of humanity and humility, the value of sacrificing yourself for the song.

The legendary axeman and producer spoke to US music mag Rolling Stone afterwards about how he wishes his Chic bandmates had been up there being recognised with him, how he knew Tupac's mum and how "everything is rock & roll".

Probably not but that didn't stop his vociferous fanbase venting spleen on the streaming service at the weekend after his new track Sign Of The Times disappeared on Friday morning.

The track got its first play on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show .

But for several hours, when fans searched for "Harry Styles" on Spotify the song didn't appear in the results...despite the fact it was also supposed to be on their New Music Friday playlist.

The official midweek chart will reveal if the loss of service has any impact on Harry's combined sales later but we expect it to be a two horse race with the current number one Ed Sheeran.

They just prefer you that way.

The Brighton indie rockers are back with a new track, taken from their forthcoming retrospective Best Of...So Far record.

They've just dropped the video for Be Who You Are, in which Luke and the gang attempt to break the world record for the number of different Marrakech locations you can play guitar in, in one single video.

Hillside, down by the river, by the pool, in the riad... even up on the rooftop.

You name it, they've played it.

And they're playing in a town somewhere near you as of next week on their UK tour.

And while we are in indie mode, Liverpool band Circa Waves have revealed a new video for their track Goodbye.

Just the one artsy live show location for this video though. Efficient.

And the third in our indie trilogy sees The Courteeners release a new video for their track Modern Love, which was co-written with Hurts.

They co-wrote a naughty word in it early on so we can't bring it to you here...but it's out there. Oh yes.

Where does he find the time?

The new Gorillaz album is set to drop in a few weeks before the band put on their own Demon Dayz festivals.

But prolific song-writer Damon Albarn is already planning the next thing.

The Blur mastermind told music mag Q that he is already working on the follow-up to supergroup The Good the Bad & the Queen ’s self-titled 2007 album.

The band, which features The Clash’s Paul Simonon, The Verve’s Simon Tong and Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen have not appeared together live together since 2011.

On writing the record, Albarn told Q that: "Brexit has obviously given us a wonderful starting point."

Well, Article 50 has now been triggered Damon, so you have less than two years to get that record out.

Radio 2 has been looking back on the life and career of broadcaster Brian Matthew who died on Saturday at the age of 88.

Matthew presented Sounds of the 60s from April 1990 and his last full show was broadcast in November, with him returning in February for a final compilation programme.

It's the must have purchase for any self-respecting LA scenester.

If you don't own a copy of the soundtrack to Hollywood musical La La Land then you're never gonna make it in this town kid...

Nielsen Music research has revealed the music to the film, starring Ryan Gosling and Oscar-winner Emma Stone, has sold 25,000 copies to date, putting it ahead of nearest rivals Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse, Ed Sheeran and Run The Jewels.

Here's how the top 5 looks:

1. Various - La La Land Soundtrack
2. Bob Marley and The Wailers - Legend
3. Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
4. Ed Sheeran - ÷ (Divide)
5. Run the Jewels - RTJ3

It must be an LA thing though, as in the equivalent UK list, the Hollywood musical is nowhere to be seen. The Official Charts company last week released their list of top-selling wax... and guess who was on top?

The Maccabees are playing their farewell gigs in June after 14 years together.

Felix from the band joined Steve Lamacq on 6 Music at the weekend and discussed plans for the gig and what he will do when the band break up.

The singer's Piece of Me Las Vegas residency is coming to an end on New Year's Eve 2017.

That's according to her publicist, Jeff Raymond, who confirmed the news to the Hollywood Reporter.

But Britney 's manager has hinted the show may continue "conceivably anywhere."

"We are done with this show, and our next move is undecided,” said Larry Rudolph.

"Anything is possible. We have made zero decisions. We expect a lot of interest from all parties.

"Britney basically sells out every show, and she loves Las Vegas, she loves performing in Vegas, and Vegas is a possibility going forward."

Unless Skegness or Bridlington can presumably step in with a last minute bid.
