Apple Music's Top 500 songs of the decade full list: BTS, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Drake and more
Drake's track God's Plan from his album Scorpion sits at number 3 and has become the most-streamed hip-hop song in Apple's history. But the Canadian rapper has one more feather to add—he has 27 songs in total on the list, the most by any artist. Post Malone grabs both No. 4 and No. 5 spots with Sunflower (with Swae Lee) from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Rockstar featuring 21 Savage. The rest of the top 10 includes Drake's One Dance (ft. Wizkid and Kyla), Travis Scott's Sicko Mode, Ed Sheeran's Perfect, Chris Brown's No Guidance, and Billie Eilish's Bad Guy.

K-pop boy band BTS scored two spots, Dynamite at No. 34 and Butter at 252. Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You lands at No. 100, making it the only holiday song on the list. Multiple Taylor Swift songs like Blank Space and Cruel Summer also made it, with 14 tracks total, second only to Drake. Lil Nas X's Old Town Road lands at No. 60 and is the highest-ranked country music entry. Billie Eilish has the most alternative tracks on the list, with nine songs featured.

Apple also dropped a special interview with Ed Sheeran, where he reflected on the global success of Shape of You and said, 'No one can take away the song,' he told Zane Lowe. 'I'll be able to play it forever… I'm just grateful I have songs like that—where you could be anywhere in the world, and if someone hands you a guitar, you can make people smile.'

Blackpink headlines Wembly: It's not that big a deal for the K-pop group
Earlier this week, K-pop group Blackpink made history as the first Korean girl group to headline London's iconic Wembley Stadium for concerts over two nights. This feat has been previously accomplished by the likes of Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, and Blackpink's fellow K-pop stars, BTS. But, as someone aware of K-pop for roughly a decade, and who took a deep dive into it during the Covid lockdown, I wonder whether playing up such milestones is still warranted. And it's not Blackpink or BTS alone; almost all K-pop groups and artists see their fans highlight everything from an award nomination to daily Spotify streaming numbers. Part of this has to do with the way the industry ecosystem has made true success contingent on vocal fan support. After all, K-pop permeated the internet with (or infected it, if you prefer) terms such as 'stan' (meaning a fervent fan) and 'delulu' or being delusional about the artists one admires. The latter was recently added to the Cambridge Dictionary, proving that the genre is already impacting culture, including the English language itself. There is also the fact that is the unusual makes the news, and a girl group from a small East Asian country, often singing in their native language and conquering a supposedly masK-psive milestone in London, fits the bill. The group itself described it as 'a dream come true', but anyone even vaguely aware of global and cultural news knows it's just another item in what is already a pretty well-feathered cap. Nine years after their debut, Blackpink has an audience spanning continents. This won't come as a surprise to anyone who has seen either young children hooked on member Rosé's viral hit 'APT', or spotted Lisa in the third season of HBO's The White Lotus. At this stage, success and megahits are the norm for them, not the exception. It's also part of the larger story of globalisation and the growth of K-pop. Since it began as a genre in the '90s, countless artists — singer-dancers, rappers, songwriters and producers — have helped propel it forward through relentless hard work and dedication to perfecting their craft. Government policies also supported such cultural exports along the way, as they recognised the limited room for domestic consumption in their own, 50 million-strong nation. Beginning with success in the East and Southeast Asian markets, particularly the neighbouring, lucrative Japanese market, the doors to the seemingly impermeable Western audience have now been blown open. Back in 2021, Blackpink's label revealed that an online paid concert saw the biggest audience, in descending order, in the US, Thailand, the Philippines, Japan, Brazil, Canada and the UK. That is not to say that some in the West, especially established music critics, are still on the fence about the musical merits of K-pop. Such criticisms can be fair at times. Many will also resort to lazy racist or sexist descriptions, but that battle is a larger one, and not exclusive to music. With the sheer scale of K-pop groups' successes, it's time to stop treating their artists as outliers. Everyone loves a good underdog story, especially fans, and that will still hold in a world that judges success in terms of age-old norms. However, one stadium in London, granted that it's an iconic one, is likely to be a footnote in the Blackpink story. K-pop itself could also do with a deeper, more substantial and critical lens in terms of the discourse around it, rather than stereotypes or exaggerated praise for everything put out to fans. Take the fact that Blackpink is not just the biggest K-pop girl group at the moment, but also the biggest girl group globally. It is worth examining why the group has succeeded even in the English-speaking markets, when previous pop girl groups have largely faded away within a much shorter duration. Or, the fact that the group, and many others, is enjoying the fruits of global popularity, but is often unlikely to respond to fan demands for a clearer articulation of their political stand. This is not just a theoretical concern. A section of BTS fans recently expressed disappointment after an official McDonald's collaboration was announced for multiple countries, including Israel. A sizable group of fans has earlier demanded that the artists boycott pro-Israel brands, given the attacks on Gaza, and has frequently voiced frustrations over labels' lack of interest in engaging with such questions. A better quality of conversation on K-pop could also ultimately improve how artists and audiences see each other, and introduce more accountability on the part of the notoriously rigid music labels. Hoping for that is anything but delulu.

Swedish artist Omar Rudberg sent a direct "love call," citing Jungkook's artistry, while Kehlani shared social media tributes to his covers like 'Honey'. These reactions highlight how his emotive solos inspire respect, bridging genres. Cultural Crossovers Fuel Ongoing Admiration The concentration on Jungkook reflects broader K-pop trends, with celebrities like Tyrese Gibson and A.J. McLean declaring fandom for his versatility. Why? It fosters industry connections, as seen in O'Shea Jackson Jr.'s recent discovery of his "bangers." This admiration, expressed via interviews and posts, emphasizes mutual artistic inspiration, solidifying Jungkook's influence.

Kriti Sanon Admits Having Manifestation Book, Calls Her Penthouse 'A Dream'
Speaking at She Shakti 2025 about her newly purchased penthouse, Kriti Sanon said that she has manifested about the same Kriti Sanon has come a long way in her career. She has made a special place in everyone's hearts. At the She Shakti 2025 event, the National Award-winning actress opened up about her practice of manifestation and how it played a role in helping her achieve some of her biggest milestones — including buying her luxurious Mumbai penthouse. Speaking at She Shakti 2025 about her newly purchased penthouse, Kriti Sanon said, 'Firstly, the news travels so fast. It really travels fast. All numbers out. Yeh kya ho raha hai? I have been staying on rent. And when my parents moved to Mumbai to stay with me. I realised I need a bigger space. I started staying on rent. Yeah, it started making more sense. But sometimes I feel like stability is very important. I like home being home. I don't like changing my home again and again specially with parents. I feel that stability is very important. I actually have a manifestation book, a notebook where I write what I want to do and what I want to achieve. It could be different things. It could be traveling to a particular place or whatever. Actually, I have written there that I want to have a bungalow with a garden where my mom and dad can have a chai. Because my mom very long back told me that I want to have chai in a garden in a bungalow. In Mumbai honestly bungalow is impossible, very very difficult. So for now it a version of bungalow atleast it has a garden where they can sit and have a chai. So its my dream which I have ticked mark and I am proud of it. And am happy that its finally happened." Kriti Sanon Shares BTS Pic Of Her Preparation For Cocktail 2: Homi Adajania has been grabbing attention for his upcoming sequel Cocktail 2. The film will star Rashmika Mandanna, Kriti Sanon in the lead role. Shahid Kapoor is also reported to play male lead role.

The filmmaker posted a black-and-white picture of the actress with the caption: '@kritisanon Laugh & love #cocktail2 #prep" The photo, tagged with WORK IN PROGRESS, instantly caught the attention, sparking conversations and curiosity around Kriti's look and her role in the sequel. The actress also reposted the photo on her Instagram stories with caption 'Getting there.. one step at a time.. #cocktail2". About Cocktail 2 Director Homi Adajania is set to return to the director's chair for Cocktail 2, reportedly starrig Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. The film is backed by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films and written by Luv Ranjan. While details about the plot are being kept under wraps, the makers are aiming for a theatrical release in the second half of 2026. Earlier, celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania — Homi Adajania's wife — added to the buzz by sharing a glimpse of the Cocktail 2 script on her Instagram story. Around the same time, Kriti was seen leaving the Maddock Films office in Mumbai, hinting that preparations are in full swing.
