Attention!!!
The much anticipated 86th Academy Awards was held on 2nd March at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The Best Original Score went to Steven Price for Gravity. The Best Original Song went to Let It Go from the Disney animated feature film Frozen, which also won the coveted Best Animated Feature Film. The song was written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. The song has gained much recognition for its sharp undertone of female empowerment. The song beat Happy from Despicable Me 2, The Moon Song from Her and Ordinary Love from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. The song is performed by Idina Menzel who performed the song at the ceremony which ended with a standing ovation. The song's critical acclaim earned it commercial success which brought it to the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at No.5. A mainstream cover of the song was released by Demi Lovato and also a popular Japanese version by Hyolyn.
The Ultra Music Festival kicked off on the last weekend with headline appearances by Afrojack, David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Zedd, Hardwell, Tiesto and Krewella. A notable performance was by Deadmau5's remix of Martin Garrix's Animals with the old children's song Old McDonald Had a Farm. There was major controversy with security arrangements as a security guard was diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage after being trampled by a crowd of people attempting to gate crash. The Mayor of Miami vehemently condemned the injury and the festival may move to a different location in 2015.
In the US Katy Perry's Dark Horse ran its final run at the top in the first week of March and the rest of the month was dominated by Pharrell Williams' Happy. In the UK too Happy returned to the No.1 spot for a week and was replaced by My Love by Route 94 ft. Jess Glynne. This is Jess Glynne's second number one as she also peaked in the UK for Rather Be with Clean Bandit. Tsunami (Jump) by DVBBS & Borgeous ft. Tinie Tempah claimed the top spot in the third week followed by I Got U by Duke Dumont ft. Jax Jones and She Looks So Perfect by 5 Seconds of Summer in the fourth and fifth weeks respectively.
