If you love The Weeknd or Michael Jackson, you will find something endearingly-familiar about Conrad Sewell. The 27-year-old Australian-born Singer/Songwriter despite years of making Music modestly is on the verge of a major breakthrough in 2016 and we love his sound. You might recognize him from the Kygo Track Firestone?

Australia already has fallen in love with the Brisbane native and his long blonde locks, awarding him an ARIA Award for Song of the Year, with the moving Start Again. And he doesn’t even have an Album out yet!

Get to know Sewell through his Music. Here are three tracks for you to fall for:

Hold Me Up

Start Again

Who You Lovin

Amazing, right?

We’re anticipating this Album greatly…

For those of you who thought STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS was finished its Box Office reign, THINK AGAIN!  The gargantuan force continues to destroy competitors, this weekend bringing-in $90 million from 4,134 theatres for Disney. This places the Film at $741 million thus far in its North American run, zooming right past TITANIC and JURASSIC WORLD, which before were second and third for all-time domestic records behind AVATAR which grossed $760.5 million.  This latest STAR WARS installment looks a cinch to surpass the latter quite soon.

ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS: THE ROAD CHIP is in fourth for 20th Century Fox this weekend with $12.2 million from 3,474 theatres. It now is in its third week out, benefiting from little competition in the Family market at the Movies.

In fifth is SISTERS, earning $12.1 million from 2,978 theatres for Universal Pictures.  It has made $61-million in three weeks.

JOY is becoming a very profitable venture for 20th Century Fox, earning $10 million in its second week out.  It is nearing the $40-million mark already in North America.

THE BIG SHORT expands to 1,588 theatres for Paramount Pictures, landing it in seventh with $8.8 million, receiving both acclaim from Critics and Audiences with an 86% on the Tomatometer and an A- CinemaScore respectively.

In eighth is CONCUSSION with $7.9 million for Sony Pictures, earning a modest $25 million in two weeks.

THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY, PART 2 rounds-out the Top Ten with $4.7 million in its seventh week out, nearing the $250 million-mark.
