Manilow is ranked as the top adult contemporary chart artist of all time, according to R&R, with no less than 25 consecutive top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1975 and 1983. The list includes all-time favourites that Manilow still sings today: 'Mandy', 'It’s a Miracle', 'Could it be Magic', 'I Write the Songs', 'Tryin’ to get the Feeling Again', 'This One’s for You', 'Weekend in New England', 'Looks Like We Made It', 'Can’t Smile Without You', 'Even Now', and the Grammy award-winning 'Copacabana (At the Copa)'.

Gorillaz

Gorillaz

20 Mar 2026 - 20 Jun 2026

The ongoing saga of singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs continues with HUMANZ - the latest album from the planet’s Most Successful Virtual Act, Gorillaz. Since their first release in 2001, Gorillaz have proven to be one of the most unique and iconic pop acts around. A truly global phenomenon, they have achieved success in ways entirely ground-breaking in popular music. Their eponymous debut album sold some 6 million copies following its release in 2001, with hit singles ‘Clint Eastwood’ and ’19-2000’. 2005’s Demon Days was more successful still, properly breaking the band on a global level, with singles ‘DARE (feat Shaun Ryder), ‘Dirty Harry’ and the Grammy Award-winning smash ‘Feel Good Inc.’ becoming hits across Europe, America and beyond. It gave Gorillaz their first UK No 1 song with ‘DARE’ and was heralded as one of the year’s greatest records. Plastic Beach saw the band up their game once more, with hit chart success around the world (including the US and UK) and contributions from a stellar rollcall of talent including Kano, Mark E Smith, Lou Reed, Bashy and more. Accordingly, their live performances went from strength to strength, consistently breaking new ground in both scale and ambition. And the band have since toured the globe from Birmingham to Beiruit, picking up hundreds of millions of record streams along the way. On screen, Gorillaz have proven no less innovative. Their videos, probably the most complete manifestation of the Gorillaz character identity, have been viewed continually on heavy rotation and picked up numerous awards including the coveted Jim Henson Creativity Honor. The band opened the 2006 BRITs with a 100-piece children’s choir and dueted with a holographic Madonna at the Grammy Awards the same year, while bass-wielding nasty-face Murdoc found time to record an ‘Alternative Christmas Speech’ in 2005, broadcast while HRH Queen Elizabeth was addressing the nation. By the end of 2007, Gorillaz were that rare beast - culturally significant, critically admired and commercially successful - appealing to the broadest of demographics.
