The song had been recorded, ready to be included on SZA’s 2017 debut album ‘Ctrl’, but days before the music video was released, she heard that Rihanna’s team had entered negotiations for the song to be included on ‘ANTI’ instead. “It was like the centrepiece to my album at the time,” SZA said this week in an interview with Variety.

Spotify Wrapped, Miley Cyrus has been found to have the highest-earning song on the platform for 2023.The American pop star was revealed as topping the list of the highest-earning songs on Spotify this year, following a report carried out by Best Casino Sites (via Line Of Best Fit).According to the newly-shared results, Cyrus was the artist who earned the highest amount from one song on her track ‘Flowers’. Arriving earlier this year, the track was featured on her ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ album and went on to become one of the biggest tracks of the year.The album was the eighth studio album by Cyrus, and followed on from ‘Plastic Hearts’ which she shared in 2020.The lead single of the LP, ‘Flowers’ also became the fastest song to surpass one billion streams on the platform – which it achieved in just 112 days – and currently stands at around 1.6billion streams on the platform.As reported by the outlet, this means she has potentially earned £5,529,699 from royalties.Coming in at second place is the hit track ‘Kill Bill’ by SZA, which was reported as earning approximately £5,101,002 and racked up 1.4billion plays and counting.Third place is held by pop star Harry Styles with ‘As It Was’.

Do white people hate Creed and Nickelback? Why? Black people love them! They rock! That shit is bomb!”She proceeded to specifically express her admiration for ‘Higher’, the ninth track off Creed’s 1999 sophomore full-length, ‘Human Clay’.

SZA is one of the most popular artists in the world, and some portions of her fanbase are particularly internet savvy.

Tyler, the Creator has revealed the full schedule to play at Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival.The rapper revealed the lineup for his ongoing festival in August, which will return for the first time in four years on the weekend of November 11-12 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

SZA leads all artists with the most nominations at the 2024 Grammy Awards, with nine. The R&B favorite is followed by Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers (including her work with the band Boygenius), and Serban Ghenea — who works behind the scenes — with seven apiece. Superstars like Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, and the aforementioned SZA all end up in three of the four biggest categories, including Album, Record, and Song of the Year.

and then to 10 in 2021, it made it trickier for the true class acts of the field to emerge victorious.While five nods still feel like more than enough for the elite categories, the decision to downsize back to eight nominees for the 2024 Grammy Awards is a step in the right direction. Still, aside from a few obvious contenders — ahem, Taylor Swift — there really aren’t eight worthy enough nominees to announce on Friday, in a live stream at 11 a.m.

And now I’m like, ‘Are you trying to sabotage me?’ I know that’s not true.
