Nevermind Blur v Oasis...look for who wins the big album chart battle between Stormzy and Rag'N'Bone Man later.

If you're still mad fer more 90s nostalgia you can head over to the 6 Music Celebrates 1994 live page now.

Or, for new music, scroll down here for young artists that would be liars if they said they remembered that year; Lorde, Ed Sheeran and Little Mix.

1) The headliners of a lot of major festivals

Spring sprung this week and it's no coincidence therefore that we also heard a load of big festival announcements.

Foo Fighters confirmed their Glasto slot after we left you on Friday at a not-so-secret gig near Worthy Farm.

Jay Z was then confirmed to headline V Festival alongside Pink .

His pregnant missus Beyonce is skipping the festival scene this summer on doctors orders and, this week, Lady Gaga said she'd step in to save the day at Coachella.

(Wonder if she'll help out with the babysitting too once the twins are born?)

Add to that announcements from the likes of Latitude, Wilderness Green Man, Secret Garden Party and it's been quite a week.

So go ahead punk. Choose your weapon/wellies wisely.

2) What Chris Martin gave himself for his 40th birthday.

Here's how the conversation between Chris and himself may have gone this week*:

"Happy birthday Chris."

" Thanks, me."

"Here's a brand new 'non-single' from our band 's forthcoming five track EP Kaleidoscope, which is out in June."

" Oh, this is such a surprise, thanks dude. You really shouldn't have. But cheer s."

3) Rihanna made it to Harvard

And you can too... never give up on your dreams people.

RiRi was honoured this week for all her charity work, work, work, work, work, work...

She seemed proud as punch after receiving a standing ovation while collecting the Ivy League University's 2017 Humanitarian of the Year award.

"So I made it to Harvard" said the singer.

"Never thought I'd be able to say that in my life. But it feels good."

4) Steve Aoki works hard. Damn hard.

Next time you feel like a bit of a moan about your days off - spare a thought for DJ Steve Aoki who works at least 360 days a year.

We spoke to him during his four-day holiday, snowboarding in Aspen, Colorado, where naturally, he was playing a gig.

"I've got to take a break sometime, so I'm spending the days snowboarding and enjoying myself with my friends, I do that once a year and this is my four days off," he told us.

"You get into a cycle and it becomes awkward when I'm not in the studio or touring and playing shows, I get fidgety, I have to get back into the grind. I'm lucky because I love what I do."

Travelling the world, playing to thousands of clubbers, free drinks, what's not to love?

That is all.

But then it is quite easy to drop something in a Windy City (full disclosure, that's the name of her album).

The 27-time Grammy-winning singer has released her first solo album in 17 years.

Led Zep fans may know her as the woman who duetted with Robert Plant on their 2007 Americana record Raising Sand.

Here's the opening track from her new one.

All you indie kids out there will know that this is normally a good thing.

We all know that feeling Roddy.

Earlier this week, we brought you news of Future Islands playing this summer's Green Man festival.

Ahead of that the band will release their new album The Far Field on 7 April.

Now, here is their latest video for the song Ran which sees theatrical singer Samuel T Herring bolt from a rehearsal space into the open country.

The singer told Rolling Stone, external : "The day we shot it, I was like, 'Oh shoot, now I have to go run' – I haven't run in like, eight years!"

"After that, I was hobbled over."

Sir Mo Farah clearly has nothing to worry about...

Alexis Taylor has released his latest solo effort Listen With(out) Piano today.

He invited artists to re-interpret arrangements from his Piano album, which saw him perform Hot Chip songs, accompanied only by a piano.

The artists, including Green Gartside of Scritti Politti and Brian DeGraw of Gang Gang Dance, were asked to create new versions of the songs which can be played in their own right.

But, and here's the kicker, it can also be played alongside the original version.

Alexis said: “I’ve never done anything where I’ve tried to expand a record before, but I think the reduced nature of it [Piano] meant that it crossed my mind: ‘What would happen if this music was produced by different artists?'"

Watch him show how it's done below.

Upside, it sounds amazing. Downside, you need two turntables.

Because they are. Well, almost.

Frontman Van McCann (above) says the Welsh band are 'ready to go' with recording their third album

"The end of the year is when we're supposed to start recording but I think we'll be done by then," he told Newsbeat.

"We'd release an album every six months if we could but you've got to take them around the world and stick to the schedule."

We feel the same about delivering Music News LIVE to you guys. We'd post entries right around the clock if only they'd let us.

We'll be honest, 1994 is a bit hazy, after all is more than 20 years ago and we've all done some serious living since then.

To support 6 Music's 1994 day, here are a few things that you might have forgotten about the year that saw Green Day release Dookie, Pink Floyd embark on their final world tour before breaking up and Michel Jackson marry Elvis's daughter Lisa Marie Presley.

We also can't believe how young Alan Partridge looked...

Little Mix brought us No More Sad Songs today but that's the specialty of vitriolic Nottingham electro-punk duo Sleaford Mods .

Their album English Tapas is out today and on it, they seem concerned, among other things, that they could be "going down like B.H.S."

Your gonna need a bigger boat for that lads.

One of the music industry's unwritten rules - never let a little thing like death get in the way of a lucrative tour.

Former Black Sabbath frontman Ronnie James Dio may have died in 2010 but that won't stop him headlining his own series of gigs.... in hologram form.

Dio Disciples features former members of his band and a hologram of the late singer that first performed at last year’s Wacken Open Air festival in Germany.

The hologram was created by the company Eyellusion, with the backing of his widow and manager.

"This is not just about the US. It is truly a world tour. Ronnie’s fans are spread around the world and we intend to bring this exciting show to as many as we can," said Eyellusion’s Jeff Pezzuti.

Will Dio be paid the living wage though?..

They are set to release their new album Spirit in the next few weeks and shared the first track from that album, Where's the Revolution, earlier this month.

Sir Rod Stewart has offered his "deepest apologies" after he was filmed appearing to stage a mock execution in the desert.

A video posted on his wife Penny Lancaster's Instagram account appeared to show the singer re-enact a beheading similar those used by the so-called Islamic State.

But the 72-year-old said his actions were "misinterpreted".

Sir Rod said he and his friends were "playing out Game Of Thrones" while "larking about" before a show.

A statement from Sir Rod said:

Plenty of people on social media HAVE been offended it seems, while a few others don't see this as a real issue.

A Cuban singer has filed a complaint against Colombian pop stars Shakira and Carlos Vives, accusing them of plagiarising part of a song he wrote 10 years ago.

This is the second such case this week remember, after U2 found themselves accused of stealing the guitar riff for The Fly.

Shakira and Vives' hit, La Bicicleta, won record and song of the Year at the 2016 Latin Grammys.

Warning: Third party content, may contain ads.

The complaint was filed at a court in Spain, where Shakira lives.

Cuban musician Livan Rafael Castellanos claims Shakira and Vives copied a line and part of the chorus of his 1997 song Yo Te Quiero Tanto.

A spokesman for the court said the case centred around intellectual property and focuses mainly on the melody and the lyrics of the choruses of both songs.

It's a fair question.

Well we all know that top footballers really wanna be rock/rap stars deep down. And vice versa.

Stormzy and the world's most expensive footballer Paul Pogba, external will tell you that.

Now, Premier League side West Bromwich Albion have been re-working some classic album covers on their matchday programmes this season.

The Midlands club have paid homage to the likes of David Bowie's Aladdin Sane, Oasis's Definitely Maybe (scroll down for more on that beauty) and Genesis' I Can't Dance.

BBC Music sent bona fide pop stars The Vamps down to the club's grounds to find out more (and to guide the players through how to look mean on a band photo-shoot).

So you may be enjoying your first listen while you read this, or maybe even your second if you're an uberfan.

If you're Ed Sheeran's mum (or our colleague Steven) then maybe even your third.

But if you are Tom Hiddleston, then Divide is old news to you.

It turns out the actor heard it a year ago. In Rome no-less, where they were "hanging out".

The lifestyles of the rich and shameless eh?

Little Mix are back with brand new single. And some cowgirl outfits 'to boot'.

But don't be expecting to find the girls in the saloon lamenting the past or dissing their exes anymore as apparently their singing No More Sad Songs.

Onwards and upwards.

If this track does half as well as Shout Out To My Ex, crowned best British single at the Brits, it will do alright.

After weeks of harrowing negotiations, 6 Music's 1994 Day team have narrowed down the embarrassing wealth of albums from 1994 to a mere 12.

...we know some of you were. 

But apparently she's fine after her amicable split with beau Orlando Bloom.

Like you should always do after a break-up the 31-year-old has gone straight in for a new look and, in a tweet, to her 90 million followers said nobody was to blame for the break-up.

We believe that is known in showbiz circles as a 'conscious uncoupling'.

Rumours the split occurred due to KP being chained to the rhythm are yet be confirmed however.

Ever the revolutionary, the singer is even proposing "a new way of thinking in 2017".

That's not us saying that by the way - we wish.

You may not know her by her name but you'll know Laura Pergolizzi by her songs.

The songwriter has penned tracks for the likes of Cher, Rihanna, Backstreet Boys and Christina Aguilera.

She has also contributed to Rihanna's hit single Cheers (Drink To That).

Incredibly, Laura - known professionally as LP - claims to have bashed out the song on a "cheap Hawaiian-brand ukulele" she'd brought along to the studio on a whim.

Nice of her to lend it to RiRi (above).

Unless you have been living under a massive soundproofed rock for the past week then you'll already know that the nation's favourite ginger "stadium busker" Ed Sheeran has released his new album today.

In keeping with Ed's usual mathematical album titles Divide has already spawned the massive hits Shape of You and Castle on the HIll.

Now here is the one that he's sure will be the wedding song of choice for 2017.

"It's not like Thinking Out Loud will be the peak of my career.,." he told our reporter Mark Savage.

"It's definitely happened on this album. There's definitely one that's better."

What do you reckon Ed fans?
