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.

High Falls Film Festival releases official Theatrical Trailer for 'Wildflower' starring Nathalia Ramos, and it's something that's gonna keep you on the edge of your seat.

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.

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!

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…"
