IN January she got engaged, in February she won a Brit Award and this month she has been declared a millionaire.
I can reveal Becky Hill has seen her fortune shoot up over the past 12 months and the dance music superstar now has assets worth £1.5million.
According to financial paperwork for Eko Music Ltd — the company she uses for recording earnings — her riches have increased by £820,000 in a year and now stand at £1,531,495.
That is the equivalent of an almost £70,000-a-month profit.
A source close to Becky, who picked up the British Dance Act award at the Brits, said: “Becky’s career has rocketed in the last year and that has been reflected in her bank balance.
“She has had a string of big hits, she released her debut album and spent months and months touring, which helped make her loads of money.
“She has been working pretty tirelessly in music for the past ten years so she is over the moon that it is finally paying off in a big way.
“Becky has more singles on the way this year and is lining up a load of festival performances so it’s looking like it will be a bumper year.”
The singer-songwriter, who rose to prominence a decade ago as a contestant on the first series of The Voice, hit the Top Ten with her album Only Honest On The Weekend in September.

Last week she put out her latest single, Run, is a collaboration with Swedish producers Galantis, which has already racked up hundreds of thousands of streams online.
Becky’s new riches will be extremely useful given her long-term partner Charlie Gardner proposed at the beginning of the year.
A week after the engagement she told me they are planning a huge wedding, which sounds like it will cost an arm and a leg.
She said: “We are having a festival of course! We are going to have a sick festival with an acoustic tent, a dance tent, a pop tent.”
Becky certainly has the cash to make it a party to remember.
Ezra's Green
SIR Tom Jones's classic Green Green Grass Of Home will have been played out across Wales yesterday for St David’s Day and now Englishman Geroge Ezra is gearing up to release a similarly named single.
I’m told that the next song to be released from his upcoming third album Gold Rush Kid will be Green Green Grass.
It is due out next month, following the success of the record’s first track Anyone For You, and he is hoping it will help to soundtrack the summer.
After taking two years away from the spotlight, George has a bumper 2022 lined up.
He will perform at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace in June, followed by his own one-off concert in London’s Finsbury Park in July and Cornwall’s Boardmasters Festival in August.
Madge is on fire
CHART newcomer Fireboy DML is following up Peru, his No2 hit featuring Ed Sheeran, with another massive collaboration.
Pop icon Madonna is returning tomorrow with a new remix of her 1998 classic Frozen featuring the Nigerian singer after another version of the song went viral on TikTok.
In an Instagram post, she teased that the video for the tune would be out “soon” as she posed in leather, fishnets and a crucifix alongside Fireboy.
I first revealed how Madonna was planning a new version of the song – and last month told how it will feature on a new album featuring remixes of all of her biggest hits.
One of the revamped tracks will feature Katy Perry.
The full project is expected to come out this summer, so there’s not too long to wait for eager fans.
A bit like Mumford - and fun
The Lumineers, Dublin 3Arena
IN a musical era painfully short on proper bands, any new addition to the big leagues is very welcome.
So watching these US folk rockers’ packed-out show in Dublin, it was refreshing to see a serious outfit capture the attention of a crowd with a traditional mix of songcraft, musicianship and personality.
Lead singer Wesley Schultz held the fans’ attention with ease for two hours of the band’s better known hits, plus songs from new album Brightside, opening the show with its title track.
Think Mumford & Sons, sort of, but with less political lecturing – this is a show built on ensuring fans have a good time, and it was clear as the audience filed out that the mission had been com-fortably accomplished.
Hats off.
★★★★
- Tickets to The Lumineers’ Manchester and London shows this week are on sale now.
It's Jo O'More ahead
S CLUB 7’s Jo O’Meara has promised her fans there is plenty more music to come from her
Last summer she released her brilliant album With Love, which was her first new music since 2005’s Relentless, and during a sold-out show in London on Monday she promised there will be much more for fans to look forward to in the near future.
Jo told the crowd: “I’m going to continue releasing music because I don’t know how to do anything else.
“It’s what I love and it’s what I’m meant to do.”

At her show, the Reach singer performed loads of her solo tracks as well as a handful of S Club tunes and even covered Radiohead's Creep.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see Jo again, as she will be back up on stage at an intimate show in Birmingham on March 18.
