]]>This week has been pretty slow for new album releases in the US, but our favorite K-pop artists have been pretty busy. The boy band Stray Kids returned with another mixtape Hop, which produced 12 brand-new songs, including the lead single “Walkin on Water”.
It has also been a pretty great week for the English DJ and producer Fred Again, who released his new EP Two More Days. This is his second major release of 2024, following the success of his fourth studio album Ten Days, and it features two new songs, including “Light Dark Light” ft. Angie McMahon.
The rest of our list for this week mainly consists of indie artists, and it will probably introduce you to many new names. Julien Baker is one of the rare major stars to make the cut, with the Torres collaboration “Sugar in the Tank”, along with Olly Alexander with his new song “Archangel”.
Check out the rest of our list to discover new music by Benjamin Booker, Oracle Sisters, Clara La San, SAINt JHN, Banks, and Horsegirl.

It’s been a great week for new album releases overall. Jelly Roll made it to our list with “Winning Streak” from Beautifully Broken, while Samara Joy made the cut with “Reincarnation Of A Lovebird” from Portrait. Several songs on our list were also taken from deluxe versions of hit albums, including Coldplay’s “The Karate Kid” and Tyla’s “Push 2 Start”.

Halsey is teasing the release of The Great Impersonator by dressing up as a different music icon every day, and she added more fuel to the fire with the release of “I Never Loved You”. The Cure also set the stage for their upcoming album Songs of a Lost World with a new song “A Fragile Thing”.

]]>Clairo’s Charm is one of the most highly anticipated indie albums to hit the shelves this week, and it’s given us 11 amazing new songs, including “Add Up My Love”. Griff finally shared her long-awaited debut album Vertigo this Friday, and “Tears For Fun” is one of its very best songs.
The list of major new album releases doesn’t end there. Cigarettes After S-x impressed us with their new album X’s, OneRepublic returned with Artificial Paradise, Cat Burns released her debut album Early Twenties, while the Afrobeats star Rema rocked our world with Heis.
Pop music is mostly absent from our list this week, but one catchy collaboration managed to sneak in. Kylie Minogue joined forces with Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo for “My Oh My”, proving they’re truly a match made in heaven.

]]>The post Charli XCX’s “Brat” Becomes Her Highest-Charting Album appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Brat entered the chart with 82,000 equivalent album units earned, including 45,000 in album sales, 37,000 SEA units (equaling 46.72 million on-demand official streams of its deluxe edition’s 18 songs), and TEA units in the range of 1,000.
This is both the largest sales week and streaming week of the singer’s career, in addition to being her largest week on the Billboard 200 chart overall. Brat is her second album to enter the top ten in the US, following the success of her previous album Crash at No. 7.
Charli XCX’s latest album also found success in the UK, where it hit No. 2 with the biggest opening week of her career. It also landed No. 1 on the Official Vinyl Albums Chart and Official Record Store Chart in this country due to the success of its physical formats.
Brat was released on June 7 via Atlantic Records, while its deluxe edition featuring three more songs dropped just three days later. Charli XCX promoted its release with the lead single “Von Dutch” and a star-studded music video for “360”.

Tove Lo and SG Lewis celebrated Pride Month with their new EP Heat and gave us a music video for its lead single of the same name. It was also a week to remember for Don Toliver, whose new album Hardstone Psycho produced the Kodak Black collaboration “Brother Stone”.
Many of the songs on our list this week were taken from the highly-anticipated new soundtracks. Victoria Monét’s “Power of Two” hails from the Disney+ series The Acolyte, Pharrell Williams’ “Double Life” set the stage for Despicable Me 4, while Tanner Adell’s “Too Easy” will be featured in Twisters.
Check out the rest of our list, and get ready to discover brand-new tunes by Khalid, Tayla Parx, Orion Sun, Kygo, and more!

]]>No album this week created more commotion than Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets and its companion piece The Anthology. She’s given us 16 new songs on the standard edition and 31 in total, but “So Long, London” is definitely her strongest new release.
This Friday was pretty slow for new releases because most artists wanted to avoid competing with Swift. That didn’t stop Pearl Jam from sharing their long-awaited album Dark Matter, which produced several amazing songs, including “Wreckage”.
The lack of major releases helped our favorite indie and international artists shine, and make it to our list of the best new songs of the week. Hozier’s “Why Would You Be Loved” is definitely worth listening to on repeat, and so are the latest singles by Rachel Chinouriri, Debbii Dawson, Kings of Leon, Kate Nash, and more.

Her longtime friend, Olafur Eliasson, directed the music video for this song, which celebrates the power of dance to bring people together.

]]>Tiesto will serve as “the first in-game superstar DJ” for the upcoming Super Bowl. He will do a set during warm-ups but also remain behind his DJ setup and spin records during in-game breaks.
“I’m excited to be a part of the Super Bowl LVIII,” Tiesto said in a statement. “And it’s even more incredible that it’s in my favorite place – Las Vegas. Thank you to the NFL for having me. I cannot wait to party with you all at the big game!”
Tiesto isn’t the first DJ to perform at the Super Bowl events. In prior years, the likes of DJ Khaled, DJ Snake, D-Nice, and Zedd all entertained the fans before the start of the game. However, Tiësto will be the first DJ to keep on playing during the game.
Super Bowl LVIII will take place at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders. The game is scheduled for 11 February.
Tiesto released his most recent album, Drive, in April 2023. The record, which featured guest appearances from Ava Max, Black Eyed Peas, and Charli XCX, among others, peaked at No. 87 on the US Billboard 200 charts.

]]>The post Justice Announce New Album “Hyperdrama”, Share Pair of Tracks appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Justice previewed Hyperdrama by sharing two new tracks. The first one is the Tame Impala collaboration “One Night/All Night”, which came with a music video directed by Anton Tammi.
“This song oscillates between pure electronic music and pure disco, but you never really get the two at the same time,” Justice shared. “This very idea of switching instantly from a genre to another within a song runs through the whole record and is maybe showcased the clearest in ‘One Night/All Night.'”
The second song, titled “Generator”, is compared to “Getaway” by the Salsoul Orchestra but “with gabber and classic ’90s hardcore techno sounds.”
Fans will be able to hear these and other Hyperdrama tracks live for the first time when Justice makes an appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 12 and April 19. The duo will use the opportunity to also debut their new live show.
After Coachella, Justice will embark on a tour that will see them perform at a number of other music festivals in South America and Europe. The trip will include back-to-back-to-back sets at the Best Kept Secret festival in Hilvarenbeek, Netherlands, in June.
