The platinum-haired singer has enjoyed huge success with her debut album 'Ora' which spawned three No. 1 singles including catchy hit 'Hot Right Now', 'How We Do (Party)' and 'R.I.P.'

Ora was also recently named the new face of Madonna's clothing line, Material Girl.

Talking to Mandrake, Ora gushed about the possibility of a musical collaboration between herself and the Queen of Pop: “I would die if that happened. I would be the happiest girl on the planet, but I’m never going to ask her. I’ll have to just dream one day she might.”

Ora also recalled the moment she met Madonna and what it was like working with her and her daughter Lourdes on the first shoot.

She said: “When I first met her, you could see in the picture I was so nervous but she was so nice. I was told Lourdes was a fan, and she was really, really sweet and told her mum about me.”

The international rap star released his hotly-anticipated album 'Yeezus' this week to largely positive acclaim.

However, his lyrics have offended the American Parkinson Disease Association, who claim West used an "ignorant" reference to the degenerative disease in song 'On Sight'.

In the track the star raps: “A monster about to come alive again / Soon as I pull up and park the Benz / We get this b***h shaking like Parkinson's.”

The organisation's Vice President Kathryn Whitford told US website TMZ: “We find these lyrics distasteful and the product of obvious ignorance.”

West's latest musical offering stormed to the top of the iTunes chart yesterday, just a few hours after its release in America.

However, it now appears to have dropped from the top 10.

Meanwhile, West has been keeping a low profile since girlfriend Kim Kardashian gave birth to their baby daughter over the weekend.

Thicke's chart-topping hit has managed to hold onto its coveted top-spot position, but according to the Official Charts Company is only 7,000 copies in front of Derulo's new release, 'The Other Side', which debuted at No.2 this afternoon. 

Dizzee Rascal's collaborative single with Robbie Williams, 'Goin' Crazy', has made an appearance at No.4, Tom Odell's 'Another Love' has entered at 11, and Ke$ha's 'Crazy Kids' is new in at No.37. 

Elsewhere in the UK Top 40, Psy's 'Gentleman' has dropped 14 places to No.31, Bastille's 'Pompeii' is this week's highest climber up 6 to No.24, and Demi Lovato's 'Heart Attack' is a non-mover at 18.
