Glastonbury festival organiser dismisses rumours that Madonna will headline in 2027
Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has said the festival has booked its headliners for next summer - but scotched rumours that Madonna will be among them. Asked about the 2027 line-up and the speculation that the Queen of Pop would make her Glastonbury debut, Eavis told Katie Razzall on BBC Radio 4's PM programme: No, it's definitely not Madonna, I'll tell you that. But we have got three [other] headliners and we're very excited about it - it's all coming together really well, Eavis added. And when asked about the possibility of a performance from Taylor Swift, Eavis laughed and said she didn't want to discuss the line-up any more. Image caption, Emily Eavis said she can't wait to get back after the festival's year off Madonna is yet to play the UK's biggest festival, and the rumour mill started grinding in June when the star hinted to BBC talk show host Graham Norton that was planning something big in the UK next summer.
Selena Gomez sued for alleged fraud over mental health company
Hollywood actress and singer Selena Gomez is being sued by five investors who backed Wondermind Global, a mental health business she founded with her mother. Shareholders are claiming the pop star failed to fulfil promises that she would be actively building the brand, saying her abject dereliction of her duties has left the company in a state of financial calamity. The lawsuit seeks to recover around $1.2m (ยฃ890,000) it claims was invested as well as costs and damages. The BBC has contacted Wondermind and Gomez's representatives for comment. Gomez, who rose to fame as a child actor before moving into pop music, set up the mental health platform five years ago with her mother Mandy Teefey and businesswoman Daniella Pierson.
The best Spotify alternatives to ease your conscience
It's no secret that Spotify is the dominant player in the music streaming market, with 293 million paid subscribers and 761 million monthly active users across both paid and free tiers. Along with massive market dominance has come a fair bit of controversy in recent years. As the biggest music-streaming platform, Spotify is usually the first mentioned in the discussion about whether artists are fairly compensated for their work. The math around that question is obvious -- buying a digital album outright typically costs between 10 and 15 depending on where you buy it, while a Spotify Premium subscription costs 13 a month in the US. Fair pay is far from the only drama surrounding Spotify, though.

'I feel like I'm at war': are we losing the battle against machine-made music?
'I feel like I'm at war': are we losing the battle against machine-made music? This year, the battle for song of the summer has been eclipsed by a much more complicated - some would even say disturbing - debate. That's because we find ourselves asking not "What's the song of the summer?" but rather "Is the song of the summer even?" Among the top contenders for the title is Fenix Flexin's Rubberz, a single released in June that has ascended to No 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and racked up more than 35m Spotify streams. The artist is known for his trap music as part of the rap duo Shoreline Mafia, but Rubberz is a mildly noirish, 80s-inspired synth-pop track featuring a voice nothing like his.
