The post Best New Songs of the Week appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>This Friday marked the release of numerous new albums, but none of them created more buzz than The Weeknd’s long-awaited record Hurry Up Tomorrow. It’s a collection of 21 brand-new songs, each one amazing in its own right, and we singled out “Cry For Me” as one of the early favorites.
This has also been a pretty epic week for amazing collaborations. We’ve seen many of our favorite indie artists join forces, starting with Sasami and Clairo, whose duet “In Love With A Memory” is the best of both worlds.
James Bay and Jon Batiste partnered up for “Sunshine in the Room”, while Jamie xx and Erykah Badu rocked our world with their unexpected collaboration “F.U.” Indie rock darlings Julien Baker and Torres impressed us with their new duet “Sylvia”.
The rest of our list is equally amazing, and it features brand-new tracks from a wide range of genres, from country to R&B. Stick around to discover new songs by The Lumineers, Cat Burns, Jessie Reyez, Zach Bryan, and Nessa Barrett.

]]>Linkin Park’s new album From Zero is the buzziest new release since it marks the band’s first studio effort without the late frontman Chester Bennington. Emily Armstrong took over as vocalist earlier this year, and appeared on several singles ahead of the album’s release, with “Two Faced” serving as the fourth.
Linkin Park’s From Zero isn’t the only new album to create a lot of buzz this week. Shawn Mendes made the cut with “The Mountain” from Shawn, Jon Batiste impressed us with “Dusklight Movement” from Beethoven Blues, while Rauw Alejandro joined forces with Bad Bunny for “Qué Pasaría” from his new album Cosa Nuestra.
This isn’t the only epic collaboration to make it to our list this week. Elton John and Brandi Carlile proved to the world they’re a match made in heaven with “Never Too Late”, Jessie Reyez and Ari Lennox gave us some girl power with “Just Like That”, while Odeal and Summer Walker dropped their latest collaboration “You’re Stuck”.
Check out the rest of our list to discover new music by the likes of Shaboozey, Paris Paloma, and Jack White.

Some of its best tracks have already been released as promotional singles, but “Falling Forever” is definitely a standout among the new songs.
This week also marked the release of several new albums by our favorite female artists, including Willow, Sia, and the rising star Rachel Chinouriri. They’ve all given us impressive collections of new songs on Friday, and some of them made it to our list.
Alternative artists truly thrived this week and impressed us with their new music. We made room for quite a few on our list of the best new songs of the week, so get ready to discover new music by Gracie Abrams, The Marías, Royel Otis, Caroline Polachek, and more!

]]>The post Billie Eilish, Becky G, Ryan Gosling, & More to Perform at the Oscars appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Eilish is the front-runner to win the best original song with “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie, and she’ll deliver another rendition of this moving ballad at the Oscars ceremony. She previously won a Grammy and a Golden Globe for co-writing this song with her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O’Connell.
“I’m Just Ken” from Barbie is also a strong contender for this award, and we’ll get to hear it live during the Oscars. Ryan Gosling, who performed this viral hit in the original film, will bring the Kenergy to the Academy Awards alongside Mark Ronson.
Becky G will take the stage to perform Diane Warren’s “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot, while Jon Batiste will deliver a rendition of “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony. They’ll be joined by Scott George and the Osage Singers, performing “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” from Killers of the Flower Moon.
The 2024 Academy Awards will return to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 10, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the show.

]]>The post 2024 Academy Awards: “Barbie: The Album” Tops Best Original Song Nominations appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>“What Was I Made For?”, written by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, is one of the main contenders for this award, after winning the Golden Globe in the same category. This duo earned their second nod in the best original song field just two years after winning the Oscar for the James Bond theme song “No Time to Die”.
“What Was I Made For?” will have to face tough competition in the fellow Barbie tune “I’m Just Ken”, written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt and performed by Ryan Gosling. Ronson and Wyatt are also former recipients of the best original song Oscar for “Shallow” from A Star Is Born, which they co-wrote with Lady Gaga and Anthony Rossomando.
The list of nominees in this category will also include “The Fire Inside” by Diane Warren from Flamin’ Hot, “It Never Went Away” by Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson from American Symphony, and “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” by Osage Tribal Singers from Killers of the Flower Moon.
The winners will be announced on March 10, when the Academy Awards are set to return to LA’s Dolby Theatre, with Jimmy Kimmel serving as the host.

]]>The post Best New Songs of the Week appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Some of the week’s best new songs hail from newly released albums, starting with Hozier’s Unreal Unearth. Several of the songs from this LP were previously released as singles or featured on his EP Eat You Young, but the album itself gave us several amazing new songs, including “Damage Gets Done” ft. Brandi Carlile.
This week also marked the release of Reneé Rapp’s debut studio album Snow Angel, accompanied by the music video for “Pretty Girls”. Jon Batiste’s new album also made it to our list, and “Uneasy” ft. Lil Wayne is one of its most notable standouts.
When it comes to the viral hits for this week, Usher’s “Boyfriend” certainly created the most buzz online—mostly thanks to its Las Vegas-set music video starring Keke Palmer.
The rest of our list for this week features an interesting mix of different genres, including new music by Anitta, Charlie Puth, Thirty Seconds To Mars, The National, Jessie Reyez, and many more.

]]>It’s been almost a decade since The Hives dropped their last studio album, and their big comeback is just around the corner. The Swedish rock band teased their upcoming album with singles “Countdown to Shutdown” and “Bogus Operandi”.
Hozier gave us some amazing new music with his EP Eat Your Young earlier this year, but this record only served as an intro for his highly-anticipated third studio album Unreal Unearth.
Following the Grammy-winning success of We Are, Jon Batiste is coming back with World Music Radio, which will feature contributions from Lana Del Rey, Lil Wayne, NewJeans, and JID.
Reneé Rapp made a shocking decision to leave the HBO Max comedy series The S-x Lives of College Girls to focus on touring, and all eyes are now on her debut studio album Snow Angel.
After using the power of TikTok to put her music on the map, Ashnikko will finally release her debut studio album this month. She’s given us a taste of things to come with the singles “You Make Me Sick!”, “Worms”, and “Weedkiller”.

As far as new albums go, none created more buzz than Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape. The rapper’s new LP features collaborations with Travis Scott, Bring Me The Horizon, Don Toliver, and Babymetal, but none of them compares to the Nicki Minaj duet “Endless Fashion”.
Soundtracks for Barbie and The Idol made another appearance on our list this week. Charli XCX’s long-awaited Barbie song “Speed Drive” is here, and it exceeded our wildest expectations. Suzanna Son remains the best thing about The Idol soundtrack and she joined forces with The Weeknd and Lil Baby for “False Idols” this time around.
Check out the rest of our list to discover new music by Bad Bunny, Shakira, Nothing But Thieves, Jon Batiste, and many more.

]]>Batiste described World Music Radio as a concept album that takes place in the interstellar regions of the universe, adding it will fill your soul, open your heart, and stretch your mind while expanding your vision of popular art.
“I created this album with a feeling of liberation in my life and a renewed sense of exploration of my personhood, my craft and of the world around me unlike anything I ever felt before,” wrote Batiste on social media.
The singer gave us a taste of things to come with the lead single “Calling Your Name”, and he shared the official visualizer for this track. World Music Radio will also feature collaborations with Lana Del Rey, Lil Wayne, NewJeans, and JID, and it will hit the shelves on August 18.
Expectations are running high for World Music Radio after the success of Batiste’s last studio effort We Are. He received 11 nominations at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, including eight for We Are, which was eventually named the album of the year.

]]>This Friday marked the release of numerous new albums, but none of them created more buzz than The Weeknd’s long-awaited record Hurry Up Tomorrow. It’s a collection of 21 brand-new songs, each one amazing in its own right, and we singled out “Cry For Me” as one of the early favorites.
This has also been a pretty epic week for amazing collaborations. We’ve seen many of our favorite indie artists join forces, starting with Sasami and Clairo, whose duet “In Love With A Memory” is the best of both worlds.
James Bay and Jon Batiste partnered up for “Sunshine in the Room”, while Jamie xx and Erykah Badu rocked our world with their unexpected collaboration “F.U.” Indie rock darlings Julien Baker and Torres impressed us with their new duet “Sylvia”.
The rest of our list is equally amazing, and it features brand-new tracks from a wide range of genres, from country to R&B. Stick around to discover new songs by The Lumineers, Cat Burns, Jessie Reyez, Zach Bryan, and Nessa Barrett.

]]>Linkin Park’s new album From Zero is the buzziest new release since it marks the band’s first studio effort without the late frontman Chester Bennington. Emily Armstrong took over as vocalist earlier this year, and appeared on several singles ahead of the album’s release, with “Two Faced” serving as the fourth.
Linkin Park’s From Zero isn’t the only new album to create a lot of buzz this week. Shawn Mendes made the cut with “The Mountain” from Shawn, Jon Batiste impressed us with “Dusklight Movement” from Beethoven Blues, while Rauw Alejandro joined forces with Bad Bunny for “Qué Pasaría” from his new album Cosa Nuestra.
This isn’t the only epic collaboration to make it to our list this week. Elton John and Brandi Carlile proved to the world they’re a match made in heaven with “Never Too Late”, Jessie Reyez and Ari Lennox gave us some girl power with “Just Like That”, while Odeal and Summer Walker dropped their latest collaboration “You’re Stuck”.
Check out the rest of our list to discover new music by the likes of Shaboozey, Paris Paloma, and Jack White.

]]>After a lot of anticipation, Dua Lipa’s third studio album Radical Optimism is finally here, and it’s given us several amazing songs we’ll be dancing to all summer long. Some of its best tracks have already been released as promotional singles, but “Falling Forever” is definitely a standout among the new songs.
This week also marked the release of several new albums by our favorite female artists, including Willow, Sia, and the rising star Rachel Chinouriri. They’ve all given us impressive collections of new songs on Friday, and some of them made it to our list.
Alternative artists truly thrived this week and impressed us with their new music. We made room for quite a few on our list of the best new songs of the week, so get ready to discover new music by Gracie Abrams, The Marías, Royel Otis, Caroline Polachek, and more!

]]>The post Billie Eilish, Becky G, Ryan Gosling, & More to Perform at the Oscars appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Eilish is the front-runner to win the best original song with “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie, and she’ll deliver another rendition of this moving ballad at the Oscars ceremony. She previously won a Grammy and a Golden Globe for co-writing this song with her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O’Connell.
“I’m Just Ken” from Barbie is also a strong contender for this award, and we’ll get to hear it live during the Oscars. Ryan Gosling, who performed this viral hit in the original film, will bring the Kenergy to the Academy Awards alongside Mark Ronson.
Becky G will take the stage to perform Diane Warren’s “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot, while Jon Batiste will deliver a rendition of “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony. They’ll be joined by Scott George and the Osage Singers, performing “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” from Killers of the Flower Moon.
The 2024 Academy Awards will return to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 10, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting the show.

]]>The post 2024 Academy Awards: “Barbie: The Album” Tops Best Original Song Nominations appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>“What Was I Made For?”, written by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, is one of the main contenders for this award, after winning the Golden Globe in the same category. This duo earned their second nod in the best original song field just two years after winning the Oscar for the James Bond theme song “No Time to Die”.
“What Was I Made For?” will have to face tough competition in the fellow Barbie tune “I’m Just Ken”, written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt and performed by Ryan Gosling. Ronson and Wyatt are also former recipients of the best original song Oscar for “Shallow” from A Star Is Born, which they co-wrote with Lady Gaga and Anthony Rossomando.
The list of nominees in this category will also include “The Fire Inside” by Diane Warren from Flamin’ Hot, “It Never Went Away” by Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson from American Symphony, and “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” by Osage Tribal Singers from Killers of the Flower Moon.
The winners will be announced on March 10, when the Academy Awards are set to return to LA’s Dolby Theatre, with Jimmy Kimmel serving as the host.

]]>The post Best New Songs of the Week appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Some of the week’s best new songs hail from newly released albums, starting with Hozier’s Unreal Unearth.

Brandi Carlile.

The rest of our list for this week features an interesting mix of different genres, including new music by Anitta, Charlie Puth, Thirty Seconds To Mars, The National, Jessie Reyez, and many more.
