Last year's biggest breakout music stars – Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX – were women joined by a thread of fierce self-assurance, underpinned by relatability and authenticity.

In February, shortly after pop wunderkind Chappell Roan used her Grammy acceptance speech to demand record labels pay their artists a livable wage and give them better healthcare, the Hollywood Reporter published an inflammatory op-ed by a former label exec.

For almost a decade Japanese authorities have pursued the extradition of Kelly, his son Kaine Wright, 28, of Plumstead, and Joe Chappell, 38, from Belvedere.

A judgement is due next month on Chappell and Wright who have had their cases heard in various courts in recent years.

Over the past year though, a growing number of artists have been adding their own sprinkles with pop stars including Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter leaning into the genre.
