Bohemian Rhapsody streamed more times than any 1970s song last year

Bohemian Rhapsody was streamed more times than any other 1970s song last year after Queen biopic made £700m at the Box Office

Hit movie led to a surge in streaming of the groundbreaking six-minute track 

Christmas songs feature heavily, topping the list for the 1940s, ’50s, and ’80s

For the current decade, Bruno Mars is leading the list with his hit Finesse

Many cinemagoers who saw Bohemian Rhapsody weren’t alive for Queen’s heyday.

Now it seems the Oscar-winning biopic has won the group a few new fans – with their six-minute epic proving particularly popular.

A decade-by-decade breakdown of music streaming figure has shown that Bohemian Rhapsody is the most popular song from the 1970s.

The rock anthem is one of just four non-Christmas songs on the list, which demonstrates the power of a catchy festive tune.

Bohemian Rhapsody was the most streamed 1970s song of 2018 in a list full of festive Christmas tracks

The British Phonographic Industry revealed the top tracks for every decade since the 1940s, beginning with White Christmas by Bing Crosby. Like Bohemian Rhapsody, it too featured prominently in a film – 1942’s Holiday Inn.

Another Yuletide staple, Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee, is our favourite from the 1950s, while the Jackson 5’s I Want You Back is top of the pops among 1960s singles.

Last Christmas by Wham! follows for the 1980s, while Mariah Carey edges out the likes of Oasis and the Spice Girls for the 1990s with All I Want For Christmas Is You.

The top track for the 2000s is The Killers’s Mr Brightside, which still regularly makes the top 100 on the weekly Official Singles Chart despite being first released in 2003.

For the current decade so far, Bruno Mars has the most-streamed song with Finesse. Last year saw more than 500 tracks released before 2017 played more than 10million times in the UK, figures showed.

Geoff Taylor, of the BPI, said: ‘With ever-fiercer competition in the attention economy, music demonstrates time and again that it has the power and appeal to cut through. The success of Bohemian Rhapsody reminds us that older songs too can have a broad, pan-generational appeal.’

Gwyneth Paltrow reveals new term for a stepmother on website Goop

‘I’m a bonus mum!’ Gwyneth Paltrow reveals her new term for stepmother on lifestyle website Goop years after she was mocked over her and Chris Martin’s ‘conscious uncoupling’ divorce

Gwyneth Paltrow’s family therapist Ashley Graber used the term ‘Bonus Mum’ 

She wrote on the star’s lifestyle website Goop ‘I like to use the term “bonus”‘

It is ‘more useful’ than the word ‘step’  as it avoids connotations of wickedness

Now Shakespeare In Love star Gwyneth Paltrow is following in the Bard’s footsteps, with yet another unforgettable phrase

By inventing words from ‘madcap’ to ‘lacklustre’, William Shakespeare gave us invaluable additions to the English language.

Now Shakespeare In Love star Gwyneth Paltrow is following in the Bard’s footsteps, with yet another unforgettable phrase.

Having already rebranded divorce as ‘consciously uncoupling’, Miss Paltrow has helped to introduce the term ‘bonus mother’ – purportedly a more positive, inclusive alternative to the ‘stepmother’ demonised in fairy tales.

Family therapist Ashley Graber wrote on the star’s lifestyle website Goop: ‘I like to use the term “bonus” instead of “step”. I find that it’s much more useful, and helps us better frame everything that comes with it.

‘Bonus parents have anxiety about not knowing their position. It can feel very uncontained when you don’t know your role.’

Miss Paltrow, who had two children with ex-husband Chris Martin, now has two step-children with her current spouse, TV producer Brad Falchuk.

The Oscar-winning actress previously told of her fears about navigating the relationship with Mr Falchuk’s children, saying: ‘I’ve never been a stepmother before. I don’t know how to do it.’

Kirstie Allsopp gave her approval to the term ‘bonus mother’, telling the Mail that the ‘lovely’ phrase avoids the stigma of Cinderella’s ‘wicked stepmother’. The TV presenter, who has two children by birth – Bay, 11, and Oscar, nine – as well as ‘bonus children’ Hal and Orion with partner Ben Andersen, has spoken of her struggle with a so-called ‘blended’ family.

Miss Paltrow, who had two children with ex-husband Chris Martin, now has two step-children with her current spouse, TV producer Brad Falchuk (pictured)

She said Goop’s phrase conveys the ‘extraordinary privilege’ of caring for another woman’s child, adding: ‘It’s hard being a step-parent, but seriously worth it. I love “bonus parent” because that’s what it is – adding to raising the child, but being mindful about not overstepping their parents or treading on toes.’

However, one expert said the term risked confusing children.

Psychotherapist Noel McDermott said: ‘This approach seems aimed at easing the step-parents’ discomfort and not looking at the child’s needs. There are hazards involved such as mixed messages. The more “parents”, the more chance of miscommunication.’ 

Paltrow’s greatest hits 

Actress described her own divorce from singer Chris Martin as ‘conscious uncoupling’

Praised an intimate treatment called ‘vaginal steaming’

Advocated brushing a shirt along your skin for an ‘accessible pleasure boost’

Promoted a ‘bra-burning cleansing ritual’ at the full moon

Claimed she would ‘rather die’ than let her kids eat Cup-a-Soup

Recommended that women place a £50 jade egg inside their bodies to ‘balance your hormones’

Michael Jackson musicals future in doubt as Prince’s Trust cuts ties

Future of Michael Jackson West End musical Thriller Live is thrown into doubt after Prince’s Trust cuts ties with show following allegations of child abuse in Leaving Neverland documentary

Charity run by Prince Charles has severed links to the popular West End show

Spokesman said ‘no future plans to work together, and after musical raised funds for the trust during 4000th peformance

Comes after HBO documentary reignites sexual abuse claims against singer

The Prince’s Trust has cut ties with Michael Jackson musical Thriller Live following allegations the late singer abused young boys.

The show in London’s West End is based around Jackson’s music and hails his ability to ‘change the world’.

But its future has been thrown into doubt by the documentary Leaving Neverland, shown on Channel 4 last week.

It claimed Jackson, who died in 2009 at the age of 50, molested boys as young as seven. Now The Prince’s Trust, the youth charity founded by Prince Charles, has ended a partnership with the musical.

The Michael Jackson-themed show at the Lyric Theatre may be in doubt after it was claimed that Prince Charles’ charity had cut ties to it following a resurgence in sexual allegations against the star

Last September Thriller Live, which has run at the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue for ten years, committed to offering ‘experiences and mentoring’ with the trust for a year.

But all references to the tie-up have been cut from the show’s website. It is understood this was at the request of the trust.

The Prince’s Trust said: ‘All the activity has already taken place and there are no future plans to work together.’ 

In September, the musical raised funds for the trust during its celebratory 4,000th performance. Producers of Thriller Live refused to comment.

The Jackson family has denied all the claims in Leaving Neverland and his estate is suing HBO, which broadcast it in the US, for £75 million.

Baptiste star Tom Hollander and former fiancee are spotted arm in arm

Baptiste star Tom Hollander and his ex-fiancee are seen arm in arm and enjoying each other’s company after splitting nine years ago

Given his love of a party, Tom Hollander knows the importance of being charming and sociable.

And that goes for getting on with his ex-loves too.

The actor, 51 – currently starring in blockbuster BBC drama Baptiste – was spotted enjoying the company of his former fiancee, socialite Fran Hickman.

The pair were engaged before breaking up in 2010.

Night Manager star Hollander has had a string of glamorous exes including designer Daphne Guinness, whom he dated for two years, Jemima Goldsmith, from whom he split in 2013, and casting director Dixie Chassay. Miss Hickman, 34, was linked to Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper following her split from Hollander.

But the pair looked relaxed and happy in each other’s company as they enjoyed a stroll in London, stopping for a coffee and linking arms in the street.

Baptiste star Tom Hollander was pictured walking arm in arm with Fran Hickman in London 

The couple, pictured in 2009, called off their engagement in 2010. Miss Hickman said they had been ‘close friends for over ten years’

Interior designer Miss Hickman last night said they had been ‘close friends for over ten years’, insisting it was not unusual for them to spend time together.

One friend said: ‘Tom’s a scholar and always a gentleman – a scholar literally as he’s been made an honorary fellow of his alma mater, Selwyn College, Cambridge.’

A regular on the London social circuit, Hollander has spoken about his keenness to marry and start a family, but admitted he ‘just hasn’t met the right person’.

Speaking in 2016, he said: ‘I am single. Acting can make it hard to have profound relationships if you’re not careful.’

The actor is 5ft 5in and is frequently asked about his height. ‘I never thought of myself as being short,’ he has said. ‘Being an actor has made me much more conscious of it than I would have been otherwise.

‘Let’s be clear, I’d never have been on the list for James Bond so I’m not labouring under that misapprehension.’

Miss Hickman is also a stalwart member of the London social scene.

In 2002, at the age of 17, she was declared one of London’s top ten ‘It girls’, and is now on Tatler’s list of the people most often invited to parties.
