Taylor Swift has helped with the recovery of vinyl records in a basket of goods used to measure inflation. When vinyl first appeared on the charts in 1992, Whitney Houston was at the top of the charts with I Will Always Love You. However, it has returned to the official basket thanks in large part to Ms Swift's 2023 debut of a new version of her album 1989. Last year, it was the best-selling LP on vinyl. In the 1990s, millions of people turned away from LPs in favour of CDs, and, in turn, iPods and then subscription services such as Spotify replaced them. However, a hipster-generated vinyl revival has seen the return of record players and record stores.

Dionne (pictured left, last month - and right, in the 1960s) has her youthful energy and determination at the age of 83, which is echoed in the title of her current tour Don't Make Me Over, which was the title of her first single way back in 1962. Elvis is one of Dionne's many acquaintances and relatives who has lost over the years, but her sons insist it was her cousin Whitney Houston's (pictured below) death in 2012 at the age of 48 that shocked her the most.

I've always been a bit of a rom-com girl. My classmates and I would order significant portions of Pizza Hut and yell advice at the characters through the movie. But the best part of all was always the music. If it was the montage of women slipping on their lingerie to KT Tunstall's "Now I See" in "The Devil Wears Prada," or more recently, Still Woozy's hit single "Anyone But You," rom-com music has a way of sticking with you. So, when I noticed that my own fitness playlist needed to be updated, I wondered why I hadn't rushed to rom-coms earlier. I created a new playlist featuring 29 songs from some of the most popular rom-coms of all time, including "How to Lose a Guy in ten Days," "How to Lose a Guy in ten days," "How to Lose a Guy in ten Days," "Someone Good" and "27 Dresses," to name a few. I looked for scene-stealing tracks that would withstand the chaos of a commercial gym when making my picks. I was feeling secure with my final lineup at first, but I became concerned when this new compilation would hype me up in the same way I'd come to expect from my regular workout pick.

This year, anyone who still has a 1996 calendar will be able to make some extra money. On eBay, calendars that are 24 years old have risen sharply, with some being priced between $150 and $200. The '90s have come and gone, but since 2024 is a leap year, it will fit in seamlessly with 1996. 1996 was an Olympic and presidential election year, and, coincidently, 2024 will be the same. Over the past 24 years, the entertainment industry has shifted a bit, but it won't make a difference to retailers trying to sell their used 1996 calendars.

IAN HERBERT: Somewhere along the way to maturity, women's football is coming to an understanding with the fact that competitive sport is a world of shadow and light, not all sweetness and light, in which combustibility, misdemeanours, and, yes, bad conduct will play a role. The common image of unremitting kindness would not help spark the excitement and drama in a women's game, which this World Cup has confirmed is on the rise. The winners in sports are those for whom winning is a passion. It just can't be a tea party for them.

And it would always be either Whitney Houston's Greatest Love Of All or Nothing Compares 2 U'Connor,' she said. I asked Sinéad's honors and in honor of my very, very talented friend, Brandi Carlile, I asked her if she could come out and perform this song with me.'
