Singer who performs with music legend does solo show at TRNSMT
But Rianne Downey took the full spotlight at the King Tut's stage at the festival today, and rightly so, her voice is incredible and perfect for her country pop sound. While we love her co-singer stage duties for Beautiful South legend Paul Heaton, it was great to see Glasgow give a big cheer for the Bellshill-raised star. She said with a smile: 'Hello Glasgow! It's so good to be home. Here we go!'

The 2024 single Lost in Blue quickly followed before she did an incredible cover of Scottish anthem Will Ye Go Lassie Go, a song made famous by The Corries. She then teased what to expect from her debut album The Consequence of Love as she performed The Song of Old Glencoe and Heart of Mine, she sounded magnificent. Reflecting on her career so far, she admitted: 'I used to busk just down the road from here and never once did I think I would on this stage. 'I don't live in Scotland anymore, but I'm making it my mission to come back.' Dougie Maclean's Caledonia then delighted the crowd before she finished off in style with the Beautiful South hit Rotterdam. She signed off: 'You're making a wee lassie from Bellshill's dream come true.'

‘Sinners' Produces Another Top 10 Single In America
'Will Ye Go, Lassie Go' from Sinners debuts at No. 10 on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart, ... More earning the film a second top 10 bestseller in America. US actor Michael B.

The Ryan Coogler-directed vampire/historical/musical film quickly found an audience and has been bringing in huge sums at the global box office every week, as people rush out to theaters to see what will surely become a major contender at the upcoming Academy Awards. As the movie performs well at the box office, The music featured in Sinners continues to succeed on the Billboard charts. The two albums spun off from the film have already spent time on the weekly rankings, and for the second frame in a row, the project produces a top 10 single. "Will Ye Go, Lassie Go," a track taken from Sinners, debuts on the World Digital Song Sales chart this week. The tune opens at No. 10 on Billboard's ranking of the bestselling tracks classified as "world" by the company — a fairly vague designation. The composition is credited to the film's actors Lola Kirke, Peter Dreams, Brian Dunphy, Darren Holden and Jack O'Connell, who perform it in a quieter moment in the movie, breaking up the action and some tense storytelling. Clearly, it has stood out to those who have seen the film – or perhaps Sinners is simply becoming so big, its success reaches everything connected to it. The tune is also commonly referred to as "Wild Mountain Thyme," among other names it has adopted over the years. It's a Scottish/Irish folk song that is several hundred years old and has been recorded and performed by dozens of well-known artists, including Ed Sheeran, James Taylor, Mark Knopfler, Rod Stewart, Van Morrison, and Bob Dylan. "Will Ye Go, Lassie Go" is the second track from Sinners to reach the World Digital Song Sales chart. Last week, "Rocky Road to Dublin" debuted at No. 3 on the tally, scoring the highest start of the frame. This time around, that tune lifts to a new peak of No. 2, and in the future, it could become a surprising leader. Both Sinners albums — the soundtrack and the score — still live on the Billboard charts this frame. The score drops from its peak of No. 5 to No. 7 on the Blues Albums tally. Meanwhile, the soundtrack remains at No. 1 on the same list. It also appears on both the Top Americana/Folk Albums and the Soundtracks rosters, and even manages to debut on the Billboard 200.
