(Video) Charli XCX & The 1975's Drummer George Daniel Tie The Knot In Intimate Wedding
Last Saturday (19th July 2025), Charlotte Emma Aitchison, better known as Charli XCX, tied the knot with her longtime partner, George Daniel from The 1975. The pair had exchanged vows at the Hackney Town Hall in East London in an intimate gathering with friends and family.
Leaked pictures of the intimate gathering show the happy couple all smiles at the entrance of Hackney Town Hall. Charli donned a Vivienne Westwood mini wedding dress and her signature sunglasses, in true BRAT fashion, and Daniel wore a dark blue tuxedo. Hours after the nuptials, Charli confirmed their marriage in a TikTok post with the in-video caption, 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle'.
Thankfully, he did – as her follow-up video shows her bridal party with Daniel in her wedding veil. The pair had been dating since 2022 and had announced their engagement in late 2023. The now-married couple have also worked together musically, with the drummer named as co-producer and co-writer of two songs in her 'Brat' album.
Interestingly, netizens have pointed out that the couple had gotten married in the same London street as the newly put-up 'BRAT Forever' wall. We send our well wishes and congratulations to Charli XCX and George Daniel!

'Old is gold' and Rosyam Nor proves it right by winning the AMT2025 Hottest Viral Celebrity Award
You've got to hand it to Datuk Rosyam Nor. And please do not call the man a veteran despite being in the business for 40 years. Congratulations to one of Malaysia's most well-known actors and businessmen. He proved that at the age of 58, he is still the man to beat in the industry. Rosyam, who actually looked surprised when he was announced, but much to the delight of fans in the arena, was the recipient of the Hottest Viral Celebrity Award at the Hottest Melodi Awards 2025 ( Anugerah Selebriti Viral Terhangat di Anugerah Melodi Terhangat 2025 - AMT2025 ). While Rosyam said the victory was a major surprise for him, it was not for the fans, as they celebrated with thunderous cheers from the audience. The category at AMT2025 is a special category given to individuals who have created an extraordinary impact on social media, and this year, the organisers said, no one is more deserving than Rosyam. It all started with a dramatic scene in the sensational TV3 drama 'Keluarga Itu', which featured Rosyam Nor as a conflicted husband. However, the most viral moment was when he adorably smacked his own lips. The scene sparked an explosion of reactions on TikTok, from parodies to reaction videos, making it one of the most talked about clips of the year. Rosyam also touched on the extraordinary impact of the viral scene, which sparked a wave of conversation on social media, reaching 1.3 billion tweets. This achievement is proof of how a simple but heartfelt moment of acting can transcend the screen and become a digital phenomenon, further cementing his position as a legendary figure who remains relevant. The award is also further proof that Rosyam is not only a legend in the world of acting but also a figure who is always able to adapt to current trends and tastes. From TV screens to phone screens, his influence remains relevant, even now, among the digital generation, who are always looking for stories that touch emotions and spark conversations.

#NSTviral: Durian seller wins hearts after treating children to free Musang King
KUALA LUMPUR: Three children hoping to buy durian with just RM15 were overjoyed when a vendor gifted them a prized Musang King instead. The heartwarming encounter, captured in a TikTok video that has since garnered over 1.9 million views and 145,300 likes, shows the young trio approaching a durian stall and being asked by the vendor how much money they had. The clip shows the children revealing their pooled savings—RM2, RM5 and RM8—to the vendor, who then surprised them with the expensive fruit. The vendor, known on TikTok as @bala_durian, was so moved by their effort that he offered them an entire Musang King durian, one of the most expensive and sought-after varieties. "You have RM15? Alright, hold onto your money. Here is a Musang King. No need to weigh it, no need to pay, it's my treat," he said. He also asked if the money was from their savings, to which the children replied yes. Impressed by their discipline, he praised them and encouraged them to keep the money. "Good on you. Keep your money," he said. The children, visibly overjoyed, repeatedly asked for confirmation that it was indeed Musang King, hardly believing their luck. The video quickly went viral, with netizens flooding the comments section to praise the seller's kindness and humility. Many were touched by the way he treated the children with such gentleness and respect. "Thank you. May your livelihood be blessed and your affairs eased," said one user. Another commenter showed interest in visiting his stall to support the trader who showed such generosity to the children. "Thank you for treating the children so kindly. Where is your stall? I'd like to support you."

How songs explode online
YOU hear Nunca Muda? Once on Instagram, then again on TikTok. Next thing you know, the chorus or beat is stuck in your head and you do not even know the song's name or who the artiste even is. That is the power of virality. In 2025, a song does not need to be played on the radio or be featured in a big movie to become a hit. It can take off in a matter of hours thanks to short videos, streaming algorithms and the power of online fans. But what exactly makes a song go viral today? TikTok is new radio In the past, record labels pushed songs to radio DJs. Now, they pitch to TikTok influencers and hope for a dance trend. Just 15 seconds of the right chorus is all it takes. Old songs such as Fleetwood Mac's Dreams and Lady Gaga's Bloody Mary saw renewed popularity after trending audio clips spread online, years after their original release. Once a clip gets picked up by enough users, the algorithm will start pushing it forward and further. According to TikTok's own analytics in 2021, 75% of the short video platform users said they discover new artistes through TikTok, while 63% of its users heard new music they never knew about through the platform. Relatable lyrics or catchy hooks win However, before a song becomes viral, it usually needs to check one of two boxes: ➤ It has to be relatable, in some form or another, by often being tied to emotions such as heartbreak. For example: Olivia Rodrigo's Drivers Licence. ➤ It needs to have a catchy, repeatable hook. For example: NewJeans' Super Shy, Moliy and Silent Addy's Shake It to the Max and its different remixes, or ATLXS' Passo Bem Solto. Ultimately, the song does not need to be deep. It just needs to be memorable and infectious within a 15-second time frame. Streaming algorithms do heavy lifting Once songs meet the two criteria above, people will start searching for it. This is where platforms such as Spotify, YouTube Music and Apple Music come into play. These platforms also have algorithms of their own, which push songs that are trending or frequently repeated, especially on user-generated playlists. A track that does well on TikTok will likely appear under 'Viral Hits Malaysia' or 'Top 50' lists, which helps increase exposure, often internationally. Global trends shape local charts Gone are the days when music was siloed by country. A song from Korea, Nigeria or Indonesia can be just as likely to go viral here as one from Kuala Lumpur. The best example in the past year alone is Hanumankind's Big Dawgs. Its heavy and hard beat, accompanied by a unique rap style that pays homage to American rapper Project Pat, helped the song explode beyond Hanumankind's native India into the global scene, breaking charts across the board. It currently sits at just over 460 million plays on Spotify. The trend proves that today's music scene has been made even more borderless and catchy beats do not need translation. Fans, memes make difference Sometimes, it is not the music itself but what people do with it. Think of sped-up remixes, parody versions, fan edits or even comedic lip-syncs – all of which keep a song circulating for weeks or months. Fans are no longer just listeners. They are part of the marketing engine. A viral moment can come from an ordinary teenager dancing in a rural town just as easily as from a major label-backed multi-million dollar campaign in New York. There is no fixed recipe for virality, as the ingredients are clear: ➤ A catchy or emotional hook ➤ Visibility on TikTok or Instagram ➤ Momentum on streaming platforms ➤ And most importantly, fan interaction In this digital age, any artiste, from a bedroom singer in Penang to a K-pop giant in Seoul, has a shot at blowing up overnight. All it takes is one well-timed post and the right 15 seconds of music.
