RAYE is on course to have her first No1 album this Friday with This Music May Contain Hope – but it may be the last record you get from her for a while.
The Where Is My Husband! singer insists she won’t release another album until she falls in love, so she’d better get swiping on Tinder.
Raye, whose record is so far outselling the rest of the Top Five combined, said on a TikTok livestream: “My third album is going to be called And Then She Fell In Love, and I’m not going to write a single song of that album until I fall in love.
“It’s enough ‘I’m single’, ‘This guy done me wrong’, ‘This sucks about this and that’, songs. I’m tired of writing songs like that. The end.
“I will fall in love, and then I’ll write an album, and every song is going to be like, ‘I love love’, ‘I’m in love’, ‘Love for ever’, ‘She’s in love,’ ‘It’s a lovely day to be loved’.”
EUROVISION is heading to Asia, with a spin-off contest launching this year.

ALAN NOT A FIT FOR TRAINER
ALAN CARR got a brutal dose of reality when he offered to be the poster boy for his personal trainer, only to have the offer swiftly turned down.
The comic and Celebrity Traitors winner admitted on his Life’s A Beach podcast: “You’re not going to believe this but I do have a personal trainer.
“I said to him, ‘If you want to use me for your website . . . ’ and he went, ‘You’re all right’.
“Who doesn’t want a celebrity endorsement? His face went white and he said, ‘No, no, no’.”
NIALL LOOKS IN THE DIRECTION OF LAUFEY FOR STUDIO HOOK-UP
NIALL HORAN is desperate to work with rising talent Laufey.
The One Direction star will release his album Dinner Party in June but is hoping to get in the studio with the Icelandic singer-songwriter after that.
Asked if there are any collaborations on the record, Niall said: “As of now, no. But I would like to look into something down the line.
“There are some great artists out there that I really want to work with.
“I love Laufey. I think she’s a genius, just effortless. I met her at the Oasis gig backstage and I’d had a couple of drinks. She was talking to the guy who runs my label and I bumped into him and I was, like, ‘Oh!’ Sobering moment.
“I really want to have that conversation again. I need to say more.”
Laufey, who made her debut in 2021, also has new music on the way, with her deluxe album, A Matter of Time: The Final Hour, out on April 10.
Holly & Em: Wish you were ear
HOLLY WILLOUGHBY and Spice Girl Emma Bunton were all ears as they soaked up the magic during a trip to Disneyland Paris.
The pair put on Mickey headbands and joined other celebs for the launch of World Of Frozen, which includes a new ride called Frozen Ever After.
Wayne and Coleen Rooney were also there, joined by their youngest son Cass.
It is the biggest new addition to the theme park in more a decade, and former Dancing On Ice host Holly said: “I feel like a kid again – I just want to start skipping everywhere.
“It’s so magical.”
CALUM SUCH A TEDDY BOY
CALUM SCOTT is planning a collaboration with Teddy Swims – but so far it has yet to materialise as their schedules are too packed.
He said: “I was talking to Teddy. We were going to do something at one point but then we both got busy, so you never know. Who knows in the future?”
Calum will play in Manchester, London and Dublin in May and has big plans. The Dancing On My Own singer explained: “Honestly, I can’t recommend you to come enough.
“It’s going to be sick, especially London. There’s going to be some big things planned for the London show, just because it’s the capital and there’s going to be a lot of people there.”
But speaking to fans on Instagram Live, he also reminded them he will be performing at OVO Wembley Arena, rather than the O2 Arena.
