Lots of songs have had a big moment on social media in recent years, but have you ever wondered who some of the people are behind the hits?Read on to find out more. Anxiety, Doechii Doechii is an American rapper and singer who has won a Grammy, and she was also a headliner at Glastonbury 2025. Her song, Anxiety, which was released in 2024 has proven popular all across social media this year. But did you know it samples another tune?It's a song called Somebody That I Used to Know, which was released by singer Gotye in 2011. Beautiful Things, Benson Boone Benson Boone is an American singer-songwriter. He released his song, Beautiful Things, early in 2024 and the song became a TikTok also reached number two on the Billboard 100 and number one on the Billboard Global 200 performed his hit at the Grammys earlier this year. Million Dollar Baby, Tommy Richman Tommy Richman is another American rapper who has had lots of musical success - thanks to the power of social media. His tune Million Dollar Baby was released in 2024, but the song started going viral on social media before it was even finished! The artist released snippets before its official debut, which got millions of views online. Ordinary, Alex Warren Alex Warren is an American singer-songwriter and the voice behind the hit song Ordinary, which was released earlier this year. The song has remained at the top of the Billboard 100 for the last six weeks and has been on the US chart for an impressive 22. Did you know Alex Warren is also a YouTuber? He's known for making prank videos, often featuring other influencers. What's the recipe for a viral song? So what actually makes a song more likely to go viral? Newsround spoke to the BBC's music reporter Mark Savage who shared what he thinks are the perfect ingredients for a song to take off online. Here's what he told us: Memorable lyrics. It helps if a song has a story people can act out. It doesn't have to be complicated, just memorable. A recent example is Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten, which had a lot of people running around in thunderstorms, as she sang "feel the rain on your skin". A dance trend. K-pop bands like Blackpink, Le Sserafim and Stray Kids have really complicated dance moves that people try to copy in their TikTok videos, but sometimes simple choreography is better. Doja Cat's Say So and Chappell Roan's Hot To Go were so easy that even parents could do them. A "drop". TikTokkers love a transition… so a song where the music suddenly changes is perfect for revealing a make-up transformation or a pet dog doing something unexpected. A classic example is The Shangri-Las song Remember (Walking In The Sand) – which millions of people used for the moment where the song stopped and went "oh no no no". It's been overused now, Mark says, but other examples include Olivia Rodrigo's Vampire and Dua Lipa's Training Season. What viral hit are you enjoying at the moment? Why not let us know in the comments below.

Cowboys LB Micah Parsons: Jerry Jones overcomplicating contract
July 17 - Micah Parsons knows how it all ends, this contract negotiation with the Dallas Cowboys stretching into a second year. He still wondered aloud why ownership is taking its time as the market jumps to new heights. "I'm just going to get mine no matter what," Parsons said at his youth football camp. "You know what I mean? Like, the markets change every year. Their salary cap went up, like, another 18 percent this year. So, if you want to know contracts, all the contracts are based off of percentage. Like, each player, a high-paid player, takes a percentage of the salary cap. So, it's not really the number. It goes off by the salary cap." To Parsons' point, the Cowboys have been here before. The waiting game ending with new contracts last summer for CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott pushed to the top of the market at both positions. Parsons, a two-time All-Pro pick with 12 sacks or more in each of his first four seasons, committed to being a part of the Cowboys' offseason and summer while waiting for his deal to be finalized. He said a coaching change, from Mike McCarthy to Brian Schottenheimer, and the arrival of new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus factored into his decision to be around the team. That doesn't mean he'll be on the field when the Cowboys start training camp. But Parsons pointed to owner Jerry Jones as the one with the power to determine just how quickly peace is restored. "We obviously wanted to get done early," Parsons said on the "Six Feet Under" podcast. "We want that relief off our backs. But, obviously, ownership is always gonna make it drag out -- make it more complicated than it has to be. Lack of communication and that standpoint. But, you know, I just always say, God has me this far, he ain't done with me yet, so, you know, I just keep working, keep going, and then when it comes, I'm gonna be ready. But, you know, ain't gonna be no drop off." Both sides know the cost of signing Parsons will not decrease. The Browns gave pass rusher Myles Garrett $40 million per season and more than $123 million guaranteed on a four-year deal in March. The Raiders signed pass rusher Maxx Crosby to a three-year extension worth $35.5 million per season and $91.5 million guaranteed. Parsons isn't afraid to point out the cost of the Cowboys playing the waiting game. "We wanted to do the contract last year," Parsons said. "They were just kind of like, 'We want to do Dak and CeeDee.' Then you go out there and perform again and, you know, you would think, like, alright, we'll get it done early. We know there's some guys that's about to get ready to get repaid, like Myles (Garrett), you know, Maxx (Crosby) is gone. So you'd think like, hey, let's get ahead of that, you know what I mean?" --Field Level Media
