Who Made Our Year: TOP 5 Most Successful Artists of 2015

2015 sure has been a big year for a majority of talented artists in the music industry. From a bunch of GRAMMY nominations in the beggining of the year, to new singles and breath-taking American Music Awards performances, here's the 5 most-talked about celebrities that we surely had our eyes on throughout the whole year.

#5. Taylor Swift
VEVO highlights wouldn't be complete if it wasn't for the queen of Country-Pop diva Taylor Swift. 2015 has been pretty clean for Taylor as she managed to avoid scandals and unfair rumours perfectly. Starting the year with Style making it to Billboard's TOP 10 and gaining over 350 million views, Tay-Tay reached quite a great feedback all around the world, finishing the year with 4 wins at the 43rd annual American Music Awards, including Song of the Year and Video of the Year.







#4. Justin Bieber
Hallelujah, things are getting hot in here! We've got a new hottie in the business, and it's no one but Justin Bieber. Not only his famus six-pack abs got hotter, but as well his new songs that surprised probably every one of his haters. The one of the most-hated singers showed the world the other side of him as he released a big amount of new (amazing) songs that made it to Billboard's TOP 10, with quite a bunch of them still on the list to be candidates to become the next big hits.







#3. One Direction
"Made in the A.M." must be one of the most-talked-about albums of the year (so far). Even though the band has released only two singles that barely gained any attention, the boys still deserve to be on the list, due to their amazing performances that slayed us all once again, several times, in several places. But one of their performances will never be forgotten - their final one at the X-Factor (2015) final, as the band says a temporary goodbye to their fans, announcing to go on an extended hiatus. 





#2. Adele
"Surprise, bitch. Bet you thought you'd seen the last of me." is a first that came to our heads when the talented queen Adele slayed us all with her return at the near end of the year. As Taylor and One Diretion decide to take a break, Adele walks in with "Hello", a single that almost broke the VEVO record, reaching over 800 million views in just less than 10 weeks. Move over, Tay-Tay Swift! The singer's new-born baby became a smash hit that was heard all around the world, as well as her new album 25 that debuted at number one in more than 25 markets and broke first-week sales records in many countries over the planet. Even though Adele was excluded from the list of nominations in the 58th annual Grammy awards, her new album might bring her promising justice in 2016.





#1. Ariana Grande

In case you ask, we do prefer Grande. The year has been a crazy rollercoaster for the 22 year old starlet. Ariana started the year by releasing the last single of her new album My Everything, titled One Last Time. Queen of Pop surely has been through a lot of suffering this year, too, due to the donut-licking fiasco that had the world talking, as well as her grandpa passing away because of cancer earlier in the year. But now, Ariana Grande is finally bringing her A game back as she releases a hit single Focus that's got everyone on the edge of their seats for more! Not only the succesful singer slayed the AMAs once again with her phenomenal performance of Focus (that had well-known artists like Nicki Minaj and Selena Gomez dancing, by the way), she as well won the Favorite Pop-Rock Female Artist award, beating Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor, mentioning her grandma in her acceptance speech in a really unsual way. Ariana's latest achievements promise us nothing but even bigger success for 2016, due to her psychedelic Christmas & Chill release, as well as her 3rd album Moonlight that she has in store, planned to be released on the beggining of 2016.
Ariana Grande has also been honoured to be the most-talked about celebrity on Twitter.













So, what are your favorite music artists of 2016? Share your opinion in the comments below! Who deserves/doesn't deserve to be on the list? Who should be first, who should be last? Which new song do you like best? Feel free to say what you think.

Listen Worldwide! Ariana Grande releases controversial music video of 'Focus'; the next candidate to break the VEVO record

If my real ain't real enough, then I don't know what is.

"The first line of 'Focus' is 'I know what I came to do, and that ain't gonna change'. What I came to do in this world is not only to entertain but to love. To share, to listen, to improve, to learn, to share music, to share experience, to share feelings, to make people feel happy and empowered. To make people feel like they're not alone. Without my voice to do those things, I would feel empty. When I say focus on me, I'm not asking to be the center of attention. I'm not asking for you to focus on my clothes, or my face, or my body, or my singing voice. By focus on me I literally mean focus on me. On what I'm all about, on what I believe in. The more we focus on each other as people, and not what we look like, not what we're wearing, our gender, our hairstyle, our sexuality, the colour of our skin, but focus on each other, on a soul level. Then more we realize how much we have in common. The more we listen to each other, the more one we become. You judge because you don't focus on me, you don't focus on each other. You judge because you focus on appearance, on clothes, you focus on what you want from me, what you want from people, how you want them to wear their hair, you judge me, you wanna see me dress a certain way, how you wanna see their make up, or their eyebrows, you focus on what people should be like for you. But, when you stop and you actually focus on them, you see the light in them. When you focus on me, you see the light in me. When we focus on each other, we see the light in each other. And even if you don't, this is who we are, what are we making fun of? What's there to make fun of? We should apologize for that." - Ariana Grande describing her new single 'FOCUS'.

Starting off as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon's hit show Victorious, 2 years later touring all around the world, being nominated for 2 GRAMMYs and over 650 million views on her 'Problem' music video (and still growing), Ariana Grande is back with a fresh taste of brand new music that's obviously a candidate to break iTunes' TOP charts.

On the night of October 30th (UTC), the singer has finally released her single 'Focus' on all music platforms such as iTunes, Spotify, and VEVO.

In just 30 minutes the song was already #3 on iTunes and reached a million views on YouTube within the first hour.

Make sure to listen to Ariana's brand new single below, or search it up on iTunes and Spotify!:

Series director Tim Hopewell on creating a House of Anubis reunion movie: "I'd do it tomorrow, but ask Nickelodeon."

I'd do it tomorrow. But ask Nickelodeon.


Have we completely lost hope for more House of Anubis? Yes. And no. And then again, yes. But no.

This is how a majority of the hit show fandom still feels. From being teased by the show director him self, to being completely dragged by the production channel, the hope of Nickelodeon's soap opera returning has been quite a huge rollercoaster. Especially for the shows' die-hard fans.

But then again, nothing is concrete until we hear an official renewal or cancellation update from the channel workers themselves.

For all of you loyal HOA fans, the main question that doesn't leave your head is will the show of your childhood ever return to the screens? The answer is unknown till this time, except that if the show ever gets renewed again, it's either a remake, a spin-off, or a television movie that surrounds students in a reunion. But what would one of the directors, Tim Hopewell, have to say? Is there any chance for the groundbreaking show to return?

Receiving a question from one of the many shows fans, Hailey, teasing Tim about the reunion movie petition reaching 1 thousand signatures, asked how much more the fans need to collect in order for the series to get picked up again.

Tim replied.

"That's great. I'd do it tomorrow, but ask Nickelodeon. All the best!"

What do you think, Sibunas? Is there still a chance for the show to get picked up? Or have you completely moved on already? Share your opinions in the comments!

From "House of Anubis" to "X-Men: Apocalypse": All things you need to know about actress Alexandra Shipp!

When you first hear Alexandra Shipp's vocals, it instantly occurs to you that her voice is a delightful mix of perfect clarity, deliciously dipped in a five-octave addictive sweetness you can't get enough of.

To compliment her musical and songwriting talents, when Alexandra opens her mouth to share that same light as an actor, the effulgence only intensifies.

In the third grade, she mapped out who she wanted to be when she grew up as she penned her future bio:

"Someday I want to be a famous singer or I would prefer to be a movie star." Six years later, and plenty of voice lessons, acting classes, and multiple instrument lessons (thanks to MOM), at 14, she landed a top tier manager, a premier agent and began fulfilling her dream.

She arrived in Hollywood permanently at age 17 and began her acting career on "Alvin & The Chipmunks - Squeaquel" and never returned to her home in Phoenix.

She become a working actress amidst grounding jobs as a dog groomer and nanny; as she turned her attention to her musical and songwriting talents and began working with iconic producers Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Damon Thomas.

Having studied Speech Level vocal techniques of Seth Riggs for over a decade, Alexandra wowed them with her voice and her lyrics from a soul clearly much wiser than her years.

At 20, she landed a lead role for the Nickelodeon international hit show "House of Anubis". Tirelessly studying her craft and connecting deeply to her old soul center, her acting and film career took off from there.

Alexandra appeared in the season two premier of the acclaimed Showtime series "Ray Donovan", as the lead in both "Drumline: A New Beat" and "Aaliyah: Princess of R&B" in 2014. She is currently working and constantly preparing for her biggest role to date: Storm in the new "X-Men" Movie franchise.

In addition, she is working on her first album with brilliant producers SHI, Kuzzo, Ryan Toby and Logic, with a planned completion and a launch in early 2015.

Born July 16, 1991 in Phoenix, Arizona, Alexandra continues to illuminate with the brilliant light God blessed her with that very day.

Find out weekly updates from Alexandra herself by following her on her official Instagram, Twitter, SoundCloud, and more!

You might recall when, last September, X-Men writer Simon Kinberg answered fan questions about the recent X-Men: Days of Future Past, as well as the next installment in the franchise, "Apocalypse", revealing that "first-wave" characters like Storm (as played by Halle Berry thus far) would have to be recast in the next film.

Eugene Simon to portray a bigger role of Lancel Lannister in HBO's "Game of Thrones" Season 5

Spring break? I don't think so! Eugene Michael Simon, the star from Eden and House of Anubis is coming back to Game of Thrones in the brand new season.

Eugene Simon is going to play a much bigger role in season five of Game of Thrones as Lancel Lannister, and we're all for it. He told to a PopSugar Entertainment reporter in his interview about what drama is in store for him this season and opened up about joining an already close-knit cast while at the season premiere in San Francisco.

Eugene Simon’s Lancel Lannister may not have been the brawniest man in King’s Landing this season, but don’t let that fool you. Cersei’s bedfellow is about to grab his sword in an attempt to defend King Joffrey, his family and King’s Landing against the very experienced other forces.

In an exclusive interview, the actor himself teased the viewers about his character Lancel.

"Lancel’s gotta really, really pull his act together before the siege… But, Lancel does have to kind of get involved in the battle itself. It’s not going to be kind of watching it from the castle wall. There’s gonna be some action that he has to get involved in, which is a thrill to shoot actually — that whole siege. Night shoots are actually unbelievable." - says Eugene.

"I wouldn’t say that putting a sword in Lancel’s hand, at this moment, is something that I would kind of describe as one of his fortes. He’s not Jaime. As much as he would love to be Jaime, he isn’t. You will see a side of Lancel that has a little bit of skill with a sword, but that’s really for you to decide, once you’ve seen the actual battle itself." - he continues.

"Lancel – I’ve said it before – he’s not a coward. I wouldn’t want people to get the impression that he is someone who would just immediately run away from the fight. He has a lot of very, very strong principles in him and he’s willing to uphold them. I don’t think he’s one of those guys who… when push comes to shove… will run away. He might be reluctant, but he’s willing to do what’s necessary…"

Nathalia Norah Ramos Cohen - Celebrity Profile (2015)

Here's everything you need to know about the House of Anubis star Nathalia Ramos.

Nathalia (Norah) Ramos (Cohen) was born in Madrid, Spain in 1992, July 3rd, is a Spanish/English actress. Her father is a Spanish pop star Ivan, her mother is Australian. Ramos attended the North Beach Elementary & Nautilus Middle School (Miami Beach) and briefly attended the Miami Beach High School during her freshman year.

Nathalia Ramos started her acting career with her role of Hope Loblaw in Arrested Development. Later, her career continued as the actress began to audition for bigger Hollywood films, gaining roles such as Yasmin in Bratz: The Movie, later joining Nickelodeon by guest starring as Dakota North in True Jackson, VP; as well as becoming a lead role in Nickelodeon's most-viewed live action soap-opera of 2011-2013, hit mystery/drama series House of Anubis, portraying the role of Nina Martin, a new American student who attends a British Boarding School during the period of time when one of the students Joy Mercer goes missing.

Due to the fact Nathalia had to choose between finishing college and continuing filming the hit show House of Anubis, she chose education and left the series between the end of season 2 and the beginning of season 3.

Creativity on point! Cory Simpson draws an amazing artwork of Nina Martin from Nickelodeon's hit show House of Anubis

Probably nothing more exciting to start a week with than a little piece of art from the House of Anubis fandom. Not only the worldwide news about Alexandra Shipp getting the role of Storm in X-Men: Apocalypse, but as well some things that kept us on the edge of our seats that aren't really involved with the cast their selves. Wondering what we're on about? In the image below you can see the answer to this question.

Like what you saw? Above is the drawing created by a very talented artist Cory Simpson, who is now pretty well known on the social media with his amazing artworks of characters from hit shows & movies including House of Anubis, the Hunger Games, Divergent and more.

Thankfully, we got a chance to know the artist better, when he took his time to answer to some of the questions created by the Sibuna City crew. Let's start, shall we?

1. How did you start creating your work?

"I loved drawing ever since... I can't remember! My childhood was basically recorded in doodles and coloring books! However, it wasn't until my junior year in high school, when art started making a difference in my life, and now I don't think I could live without it!"

2. What/who encourages you to draw? Do you find motivation on your own, or does somebody else in your life inspire you?

"I mostly draw movie or TV show characters, so when I see a particular scene that inspires me, my brain starts coming up with hundreds of drawing ideas! Other than getting inspiration from the characters, my family is who I turn to for most of the motivation."

3. On your instagram feed, it's a little obvious you're very familiar with the show and Nathalia Ramos herself. Where you a fan of "House of Anubis" since the start of the show?

"Since the very beginning, EPISODE 1! I got a new TV the day 'House of Anubis' was premiering and I wasn't planning on watching it. But as soon as I started, I was hooked!" said Cory.

He added: "Episode one is still my favorite episode to this day! One of my favorite scenes is when Sarah gives Nina the Eye of Horus locket."

4. Are there any certain reasons why the first character from "House of Anubis" you decided to draw was Nina Martin?

"Yes, Nina and Fabian are my favorite characters! FABINA FOR LIFE, haha! I basically chose Nina because she was the chosen one. And I connected mostly with her character for being American, haha, just kidding! I just really wanted to draw the locket."

5. If you could get in contact with any of the members from the House of Anubis cast, who would it be and why?

"Nathalia Ramos! Mostly because I'd want to give her the drawing, but also because I think she has such an amazing talent! Hopefully it would rub off on me, if I was in her presence. But I'm not picky, I'd love to meet all of them. Bring it on, Sibuna!"

6. Speaking of the main actress, how did you feel when the actress Nathalia Ramos left the show? Did that stop you from watching the third season?

"I was so distraught! I mean, she was the chosen one, how could she possibly leave? Haha. But I still watched the show and loved the storyline of season 3. I really need to have a season 3 marathon soon!"

7. Considering the situation that the students have already graduated, if the show had a chance to return, would you prefer Nickelodeon ordering a reunion movie or a 4th season?

"I would much rather want to see an Anubis reunion. I don't have any interest in seeing new characters taking over the mysteries of Anubis house. I would jump for Joy (no pun intended) if I saw all the old characters finishing what they started in the first 3 seasons. I didn't care much about the new house residents who were introduced in the Touchstone of Ra, haha."

8. Are there any other mystery shows that you enjoy watching, apart from House of Anubis?

"I'm a sucker for any kind of mystery, but lately I've gotten myself addicted to ABC Family's murder mystery 'Pretty Little Liars', 'Hot Girls' & 'Psycho Stalker'. Amazing shows!"

9. Do you have any plans on drawing more characters from the show, or even objects such as the Cup of Ankh or the Mask of Anubis?

"I do! So far, I've been asked to draw Amber about a hundred of times, so I'm seriously considering it! I've also created some of the 'House of Anubis' props! I made the Eye of Horus locket and a few pieces of the Cup of Ankh."
