We’re almost halfway into 2023, and we’re looking back on the biggest hits of 2022 to see which ones had staying power!

Blur played an intimate warm up show in their hometown of Colchester last night (May 19) ahead of their two huge concerts at Wembley Stadium.The Britpop icons performed in front of a tiny crowd at the town’s Arts Centre for a two-hour set that saw the band pull from across their back catalogue and air two songs from their forthcoming new album ‘The Ballad Of Darren’.It comes after Colchester Council’s culture boss called for Blur to stage a reunion gig in the Essex city last year.Speaking about the gig, their first in eight years, ahead of their performance at a press conference in Colchester Castle, frontman Damon Albarn said: “How we play tonight is kind of how we will play at Wembley although hopefully it will be a bit better there. But the reason why we’re doing the shows at Wembley are exactly the same as why we’re doing this one here.”Kicking off with rollicking new track ‘St Charles Square’ from their forthcoming new album ‘The Ballad Of Darren’ – footage of which you can view below – the band then launched straight into classic hit single ‘There’s No Other Way’ before they performed 1992 rarity ‘Popscene’ for the first time since 2013.

William Earl Dave Matthews has a lot on his mind. When asked “What inspired the new Dave Matthews Band album?”, he pauses for a moment and then unloads. By his account, “Walk Around the Moon” (out today, via RCA) touches on: his children; “the futility of our struggles” as a human race; gun violence; love; modern political discourse; gratitude. But then he backs up, and mentions how he’s been considering “The sheer magnitude of how impossible it is that we’re here, that we exist. What an awe inspiring event it is, and that this planet is so hospitable.” It’s a sentiment that’s been at the core of Matthews’ songwriting for decades. One of his earliest hits — the gentle fan favorite “Satellite” — has the singer marveling at the titular device swirling through the cosmos: “Look up, look down, all around.” It’s a curiosity for life that’s guided him into becoming one of the most successful rock artists of all time.

Big Boss, out now, the legendary multi-hyphenate and  makes her directorial debut, spearheading a new highly personal visual album. Palmer also wrote the script for the project, much of which was based on her experience growing up in show business, navigating her relationships with her family outside of a grueling professional schedule, and her turbulent time working with toxic music label executives who tried to tell her what kind of artist she could  be. “I ended up writing the story that I didn't even know I wanted to tell," says, "which was my musical journey and all that I experienced and learned and felt, and how the different narratives that I had told myself stopped me from being able to live in this very expressive, creative flow.”Palmer’s talent as a performer was apparent from an early age—she had show-stopping solos in her local church choir at just five years old, and was not yet a teenager when she made her film debut in 2004’s Barbershop 2: Back in Business. In 2006, she had her breakout acting role in Akeelah and the Bee, which won her best actress prizes at the NAACP Image Awards and the Black Reel Awards.
