The post Best New Songs of the Week appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Ed Sheeran’s new album Autumn Variations was certainly the week’s most anticipated new release, and he did a great job hyping it up. He’s given us 14 new songs—each one inspired by one of his friends—and “American Town” made it to our list this time around.
This week also marked the release of Jorja Smith’s highly-anticipated new album Falling or Flying, which had several amazing songs fighting for our attention, including “Broken is the Man”. Becky G’s new LP Esquinas also swept us off our feet and gave us several amazing tunes, including “2ndo Chance” ft. Ivan Cornejo.
Our list includes several more fantastic collaborations, including The Rolling Stones’ “Sweet Sounds Of Heaven” ft. Lady Gaga & Stevie Wonder, Jung Kook’s “3D” ft. Jack Harlow, and Empress Of’s “Kiss Me” ft. Rina Sawayama. *NSYNC’s comeback single “Better Place” and Bad Bunny’s viral hit “Un Preview” also made the cut, so stick around to hear them out.

]]>Gaga launched Jazz & Piano in January 2019, as a part of her more elaborate pop-oriented Enigma show. Its setlist included stripped-down versions of Gaga’s biggest hits and Great American Songbook classics, such as “Luck Be a Lady,” “Mambo Italiano,” “La Vie En Rose”, and “Fly Me to the Moon”.
The setlist boasts several songs that Gaga recorded alongside the late Tony Bennet, and she announced this tour shortly after sharing an emotional post where she reflected on their relationship.
“With Tony, I got to live my life in a time warp. Tony & I had this magical power. We transported ourselves to another era, modernized the music together, & gave it all new life as a singing duo. But it wasn’t an act. Our relationship was very real,” she wrote on Instagram.
Lady Gaga’s Jazz & Piano residency show will return to the Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas for 12 dates, taking place between August 31 and October 5.

]]>The post Adele Reveals Her Favorite Karaoke Song & It’s Not One of Her Own appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The “Easy On Me” singer has a habit of chatting with the audience at her Weekends with Adele residency shows in Las Vegas, and she broached an interesting topic during one of her recent concerts. She asked the audience what their favorite karaoke songs are, while also revealing her own.
“You know what’s the best karaoke song to do? ‘Bad Romance’ by Lady Gaga,” said Adele before enthusiastically singing the song’s iconic hook “Ra ra ah ah ah, roma ro ma ma.” “When she starts speaking French, I’ve got no idea what she’s saying,” she added.
Even though she considers “Bad Romance” the best karaoke song, “Proud Mary” by Ike & Tina Turner is her personal favorite, and she enjoys singing it during karaoke nights.
Adele isn’t the only one who considers “Bad Romance” a karaoke classic. Lady Gaga’s smash hit was featured in a karaoke scene of the Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso and it made it to Billboard’s list of 100 greatest karaoke songs of all time.

]]>Lady Gaga took to Instagram to share an update on a variety of projects she’s been working on, from her upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux to her beauty brand Haus Labs. A concert film themed around Chromatica Ball also came up, and the singer said that she can’t wait to share it with her loyal fans.
“I can say for the first time in many years that my love of making art, music, fashion, and supporting community has never been more fulfilling… Thank you for being willing to grow with me so that I can change and transform with the community I love so much,” wrote Gaga on Instagram.
The Chromatica Ball was Lady Gaga’s first tour in five years, but it was hit with many cancelations and delays in the face of the global pandemic. The tour ultimately grossed $112.4 million from 834,000 tickets sold across 20 shows in Europe, Asia, and North America last summer.

]]>The post “Nattu Nattu” from “RRR” Wins Best Original Song at the 2023 Academy Awards appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>“Naatu Naatu” came into this year’s Oscars as the clear front-runner, after winning the best original song at several other shows, including the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards. M. M. Keeravani picked up the trophy for writing the music, while Chandrabosedouble was awarded for his work on the lyrics.
“Naatu Naatu” defeated a pretty tough competition at this year’s Oscars, where the list of nominees also included Diane Warren’s “Applause” from Tell It Like a Woman, Lady Gaga’s “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick, Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and “This Is a Life” from Everything Everywhere All at Once, by Ryan Lott, David Byrne, and Mitski.
All five songs were performed during the ceremony, with Kaala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj taking the stage to perform “Naatu Naatu”. Even Lady Gaga took the stage, even though it was previously reported she won’t be able to prepare the musical number. Lenny Kravitz was also among the performers, and he delivered an emotional rendition of “Calling All Angels” during the annual “In Memoriam” tribute.
The 95th Academy Awards took place on March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and Everything Everywhere All at Once was the biggest winner of the night with seven trophies.

]]>There was a lot of uncertainty surrounding Gaga’s performance, and she stayed quiet even after the rest of the best song-nominated artists confirmed they’ll take part in the ceremony. She eventually told the producers she’ll attend the ceremony, but she won’t have time to prepare a musical number because she’s busy shooting Joker: Folie à Deux alongside Joaquin Phoenix.
Lady Gaga is no stranger to performing at the Oscars, and this marks her third best original song nomination. She previously delivered powerful performances of the Diane Warren collaboration “Til It Happens to You” from The Hunting Ground and “Shallow” from A Star Is Born.
The list of performers at the Oscars on Sunday will include Rihanna (“Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Sofia Carson and Diane Warren (“Applause” from Tell It Like a Woman), David Byrne, Son Lux, and Stephanie Hsu (“This Is a Life” from Everything Everywhere All at Once), and Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava (“Naatu Naatu” from RRR). Lenny Kravitz is also set to perform during the “In Memoriam” segment.

]]>Rihanna scored her very first Oscar nomination with “Lift Me Up”, the lead single from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which she co-wrote alongside the Nigerian singer Tems, the director Ryan Coogler, and composer Ludwig Göransson.
Lady Gaga owes her latest Oscar nomination to “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick, which she co-wrote with Michael Tucker. She previously won an Oscar for “Shallow” from A Star is Born, in addition to receiving a nomination for “Til It Happens to You” from The Hunting Ground.
The list of nominees for the best original song also includes “Applause” from Tell It Like a Woman, “This is a Life” from Everything Everywhere All At Once, and “Naatu Naatu” from RRR. The last song is the main front-runner at this year’s Oscars after winning a Golden Globe and several more awards in the same category.
The 95th Academy Awards will take place on March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California with Jimmy Kimmel serving as the host. The list of performers is yet to be announced, but nominated songs are usually performed live during the ceremony.

One song that shockingly didn’t make the cut? Doja Cat’s “Vegas” from Elvis. This viral hit was apparently deemed ineligible because it interpolates Elvis Presley’s ’50s classic “Hound Dog”, thus breaking Academy’s strict rules.
