The post 5 Performances That the 2025 Coachella Will Be Remembered By appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>We can count on Lady Gaga to put on quite a show every time she hits the stage, and her epic Coachella set was a great interlude for her upcoming tour The Mayhem Ball.
Many of our favorite alternative artists performed at this year’s Coachella, but none impressed us more than Clairo, who emerged as one of the festival’s biggest breakout performers.
Charli XCX brought her biggest hits to the Coachella stage, along with some of the collaborators featured on her latest album Brat, including Lorde, Billie Eilish, Troye Sivan, and Addison Rae.
This year’s Coachella lineup featured several legacy acts, and Missy Elliot’s performance reminded us why she’s one of the biggest hip-hop legends of her generation.
Speaking of legacy acts, the punk-rock icons Green Day made quite a splash with their cathartic Coachella set and stayed true to their rebellious spirit.

]]>The post Lucy Dacus Delivers Hunting Cover of Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The Boygenuis singer put her twist on “Abracadabra” during BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge session. She delivered an ethereal, atmospheric, and soaring cover of the song alongside a pianist and acoustic guitarist, striping it down to its essence.
Gaga was impressed by Dacus’ stripped-down rendition and commented on it by writing, “I LOVE this so much wow captures the purity of the song.” “Abracadabra” was released as the second single from her latest album Mayhem, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart and also produced hit singles “Die with a Smile” ft. Bruno Mars and “Disease”.
As for Lucy Dacus, her BBC Radio 1 performance was part of the promo for her latest solo album Forever Is a Feeling. Her major label debut as a solo artist was released on March 28 to rave reviews, and it produced songs “Ankles”, “Limerence”, “Best Guess”, “Talk”, and “Bullseye” ft. Hozier.

]]>The post Lady Gaga Goes Back to Her Roots on Electrifying New Album “Mayhem” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Lady Gaga described Mayhem as a “chaotic blur of genres”, and she truly lived up to these words. Her latest album is mostly rooted in the dance-pop music that put her on the map, but it also includes elements of synth-pop, disco, industrial pop, rock, and grunge.
What makes Mayhem so interesting is Gaga’s commitment to celebrating the truest version of herself while also paying homage to some of the legends who shaped her journey as a musician.
Many of the songs, including the three opening tracks “Disease”, “Abracadabra”, and “Garden of Eden”, sound straight out of Gaga’s early albums, such as The Fame and Born This Way. Mayhem also features several songs inspired by her role models, such as Michael Jackson on “Shadow of a Man”, David Bowie on “Vanish Into You”, and Prince on “Killah”.
Mayhem is a glorious return to Gaga’s dance-pop roots, which also sees her stepping into new territories and exploring a diversity of genres and styles. This is both its biggest strength and weakness because the album’s tone is pretty uneven, and certain songs – such as a chart-topping Bruno Mars collaboration “Die with a Smile”, which was initially released as a standalone single – feel slightly out of place.

]]>After a lot of anticipation, Lady Gaga’s long-awaited album Mayhem finally hit the shelves this Friday – and it was worth the wait! It marks an epic return to form for the singer who never feared to experiment with different genres and styles, and we singled out “Garden of Eden” as one of its best new songs.
Speaking of new albums, Jennie is the latest member of Blackpink to share her solo album Ruby with the world, and “Handlebars” ft. Dua Lipa is its buzziest new song. The indie rock singer Sasami also impressed us with her new LP Blood on the Silver Screen and made it to our list with “I’ll Be Gone”.
We’ve chosen to showcase many other amazing female artists on our list this week in celebration of International Women’s Day. Bishop Briggs has given us the defining girl power anthem of the week with her new song “Woman Is King” – and that’s just the beginning!
Check out the rest of our list to discover new music by the likes of Doechii, The Ophelias, and Rachel Chinouriri.

]]>No song this week created more commotion than Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra”, which she dropped right after the Grammy Awards. This catchy track marks the glorious return to her dance-pop roots, and she used it to set the stage for her upcoming album Mayhem.
Lady Gaga isn’t the only artist to celebrate her Grammy success by dropping a brand-new track. So did Doechii, who shared her new single “Nosebleeds” shortly after winning the award for the best rap album for Alligator Bites Never Heal.
K-pop star Lisa set the stage for her debut solo studio album Alter Ego with her most star-studded collaboration yet. She partnered up with Doja Cat and Raye for the catchy new single “Born Again”.
The rest of our list is equally impressive and it includes both rising stars and A-list names. Stick around to discover new music by everyone from Anitta and Givēon to The Black Keys and Chloe Slater.

]]>The post Lady Gaga Announces March Release Date for New Album “Mayhem” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Mayhem will be released on March 7 via Streamline and Interscope Records, and Lady Gaga teased it by sharing the album cover and a cryptic teaser. It will feature 14 songs, including the previously released lead single “Disease” and the chart-topping Bruno Mars collaboration “Die with a Smile”.
Lady Gaga discussed the release of Mayhem with Elle and said it’s about following your own chaos into whatever cranny of your life it takes you to.
“The chaos I thought was long gone is fully intact and ready to greet me whenever I’d like. Part of the message of even the first song on the album is that your demons are with you in the beginning and they are with you in the end, and I don’t mean it in a bleak way,” she told Elle.
Lady Gaga described Mayhem as the return to the pop music her earliest fans loved so much. She also cited ’90s alternative, electro-grunge, Prince and Bowie melodies, guitar and attitude, funky bass lines, French electronic dance, and analog synths as her main influences for this record.

]]>Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars dropped “Die With a Smile” back in August and released several different versions in an attempt to help it reach No. 1. After facing tough competition, especially during the holiday season, they spent four consecutive weeks at the runner-up spot before climbing to No. 1.
“Die With a Smile” accumulated 59.7 million radio airplay audience impressions, 27.1 million official streams, and 6,000 in sales during its latest week on the chart. It’s Mars’ ninth song to Hit No. 1 and Gaga’s sixth, helping her become the third artist to achieve multiple No. 1s in three different decades following Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson.
Before finally climbing to No. 1 in the US, “Die With a Smile” found enormous success worldwide. It spent eight weeks atop the Billboard Global 200 chart, becoming the second longest-reigning song of 2024 behind another Mars collaboration, “Apt.” with Rosé. It’s currently in the running for two Grammy Awards – song of the year and best pop duo/group performance.

]]>A Carpool Karaoke Christmas sees James Corden pass the keys to Zane Lowe, the celebrity interviewer and creative director of Apple Music 1. He assumes the role of host in all three segments after Corden asks him to take three of the world’s biggest pop stars for a ride in Tokyo, Missouri, and Los Angeles.
“This was hands-down the most fun I have ever had in a car. I’m very grateful to James for trusting me behind the wheel of a very expensive car with three of music’s most exciting artists, and I’m honored to be part of bringing this special A Carpool Karaoke Christmas to fans all over the world,” said Lowe in a statement.
We quickly learn that the stars in question are none other than Chappell Roan, Lady Gaga, and Dua Lipa. They get to sing beloved holiday classics along the way, such as Wham’s “Last Christmas” and Ronettes’ “Sleigh Ride”, before wrapping things up with an in-studio cover of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” with Gaga’s band.
A Carpool Karaoke Christmas is currently streaming in select territories before rolling out globally on December 20 on Apple TV+.

]]>The post Lady Gaga, Green Day, & Post Malone Are Headlining Coachella 2025 appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Lady Gaga previously headlined the festival in 2017, in addition to filming parts of her hit musical A Star Is Born on its grounds. Post Malone also isn’t a newcomer to this iconic stage, since he previously performed at Coachella in 2018 and made several guest appearances over the years. Green Day will make their Coachella debut next year, but their frontman Billie Joe Armstrong previously performed with The Replacements.
Travis Scott is also prominently featured on the poster, occupying the floating spot that No Doubt took last year. He’ll reportedly “debut an entirely new era of music to the world” according to a press release, and the poster reads he’ll “design the desert”.
In addition to headliners, Missy Elliot, Megan Thee Stallion, Charli XCX, Anitta, Benson Boone, FKA Twigs, Clairo, Zedd, Jennie, Glorilla, Lisa, Tyla, and Shaboozey are among the notable artists set to perform next year.
The 24th installment of Coachella will return to the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California for two weekends next spring – April 11-13 and April 18-20.

]]>The post Lady Gaga Comes Face to Face with Her Inner Demons in “Disease” Music Video appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The visual for “Disease” kicks off in a peaceful suburban neighborhood, but this idyllic setting is quickly replaced by more disturbing images. As the frame spans to Lady Gaga, we see her lying on the hood of a car, before eventually confronting the driver. The mysterious figure in an all-black outfit wears a leather mask that covers most of their face, only to take it off and reveal themselves as another version of Lady Gaga.
The singer said this song explores her relationship with her own inner demons, capturing her attempts to run away from them only to realize they’re still a part of her.
“It’s never been easy for me to face how I get seduced by chaos and turmoil. It makes me feel claustrophobic. Disease is about facing that fear, facing myself and my inner darkness, and realizing that sometimes I can’t win or escape the parts of myself that scare me,” she wrote in a statement.
“Disease” serves as the interlude for Lady Gaga’s upcoming seventh studio album, which will reportedly hit the shelves in February.
