Tiësto is a master at social media, so it is no surprise to see him reach 19 million fans on Facebook. To celebrate the achievement, Tijs Verwest — better known as Tiësto — has given out his remix of Beyoncé's smash single "Drunk in Love" as a free download. The "Red Lights" disc jockey gives the single a festival-sized melodic treatment, with big airy synths and a thumping bass line to compliment the cries from the "Flawless" singer. Old fans will be disappointed to see another release in 128 beats per minute with a standard four on the floor kick and festival-driven melody, but the new Tiësto has directed his new music to work for his DJ sets.Hitting 19M fans on Facebook is amazing! As thanks here’s my remix of @Beyonce’s Drunk In Love http://t.co/gHgtQnRcoA pic.twitter.com/2zZbdTzZws — Tiësto (@tiesto) December 18, 2014 -

Ariana Grande's speech for her Rising Star Award was a talking point from the night, but mostly due to her brother Frankie.The most confusing part of the speech was Frankie's involvement. Why wouldn't a female artist present the award to her? And if there is going to be a family member involved, why not ask two of the women Grande mentions in her speech: her mother and grandmother? It was nice that Frankie was excited about the win, but tone it down a bit. Your sister can handle this by herself. Check out the awkward moment below and head to the 2:25 mark to see the Queen of Soul's reaction. -
