Several songs from our list also hail from the week’s most exciting album releases. “Revolving Door” made more buzz than any other song from Tate McRae’s So Close To What, while Sam Fender rocked our world with “Little Bit Closer” from People Watching.
Marina set the stage for her next album with one of our favorite new songs of the week, the sensual lead single “Butterfly”. It was a great week for indie artists overall – Suki Waterhouse, Fontaines DC, Wallows, and Mumford & Sons were also among the artists impressing us with their brand-new songs.

]]>I Said I Love You First will be released on March 21, and it will celebrate the love story between Gomez and Blanco, giving fans a unique window into their relationship.
“This album came together organically as a direct result of the comfort that they both felt when working together creatively, allowing them to produce art that authentically reflects their experiences. It chronicles their entire story – before they met, falling in love, and looking to what the future holds,” reads the couple’s press release.
They gave us a taste of things to come by dropping a new song titled “Scared of Loving You” just in time for Valentine’s Day, which they co-wrote alongside Finneas O’Connell. “Younger and Hotter” will be released as the album’s lead single very soon.
Gomez and Blanco collaborated on several occasions in the past. He was credited as a songwriter and producer of her smash hits “Kill Em with Kindness” and “Same Old Love”, and they later joined forces for the 2019 single “I Can’t Get Enough” alongside Tainy and J Balvin.

]]>Gomez recently set down for an interview with Billboard and Rolling Stone and told both magazines that she’s planning to release a new album this year. She told Rolling Stones that her new music comes “from a place of confidence” before dropping some more hints about her next album.
Gomez gave us a taste of her new sound with her latest singles “Single Soon” and “Love On”, but she claims that they might not really be reflective of the project that she’s working on.
“They are in spirit, but I’m excited to explore more styles of music, and I think people will hopefully be surprised by the contrast. I like releasing songs that I love and I care about. I just released them into the world and later comes the full album,” she explained.
Gomez also addressed speculations that she’s planning to retire from music and said it’s “natural for people to take breaks.” She explained that she wants to prioritize acting in the future because she hasn’t done a lot of the things that she wants to do in that space.

]]>The post Love is in the Air in the Chic Music Video for Selena Gomez’s “Love On” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>“Love On” celebrates love in many different shapes and forms, and it opens with Gomez holding her puppy, while several couples kiss around her. The rest of the video shows her having the time of her life in a series of glam outfits, and we get to see her doing everything from eating croissants to dancing the night away with the group of ballerinas.
“Love On” is Gomez’s first single of 2024 and it marks her first release since “Single Soon” last year. She’s currently plotting the release of her fourth studio album, which she described as a “real pop record” with no sad song in an interview with Vogue Mexico.
Gomez also recently dropped hints about her plans for the future during an appearance on SmartLess podcast, teasing her potential hiatus from music. She told the hosts “I do feel like I have one more album in me” before adding she’d like to shift her focus to acting.

]]>The post Linda Ronstadt is Getting a Biopic With Selena Gomez in the Lead Role appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>After months of speculations, Selena Gomez dropped hints about her involvement in this biopic by sharing a photo of Ronstadt’s memoir on Instagram. The Rolling Stone was quick to confirm the rumors, officially announcing that Gomez will play Ronstadt in this biopic, based on her book Simple Dreams.
Gomez’s casting makes sense since she found success as both an actress and a singer. She’s been nominated for two Grammy Awards, while her work as an actress and a producer on Only Murders in the Building earned her several Emmy and Golden Globe nods.
Linda Ronstadt is known by the nickname “The First Lady of Rock” after transcending genres and pushing boundaries with her music over the decades. She’s been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in addition to winning 11 Grammy Awards.
Ronstadt’s music experienced somewhat of a renaissance in recent years, especially her song “Long Long Time”, which was featured prominently in an episode of the HBO series The Last of Us.

]]>Gomez recently made an appearance on an episode of the SmartLess podcast alongside Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. She revealed she’s thinking of putting music on the back burner and focusing on other things, including her acting career, her best-selling cosmetics brand Rare Beauty, and her philanthropic endeavors.
Gomez said she feels like she has one more album left in her, and that she’ll probably choose acting afterward. She also added that music was never her first career of choice, but she fell into it after recording a theme song for Disney’Wizards of Waverly Place.
“I wanted to be an actress, I never really intended on being a singer full-time but apparently that hobby turned into something else. I don’t think I’m the best singer but I do know how to tell stories and I love being able to make songs,” said Gomez.
The two-time Grammy nominee is currently plotting her fourth studio album, which she described as a “real pop record” with an R&B moment in a recent interview with Vogue Mexico.

]]>The post Selena Gomez Says Her New Album Will Be a “Real Pop Record” With No Sad Songs appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The main topic that Gomez wants to explore on her next album is freedom from the constraints she had when she was 20. Unlike her last record Rare, which tackled the themes of self-love and self-empowerment, while touching upon some of the lowest points of her life, the singer’s next album won’t feature any “sad songs”.
Gomez told Vogue Mexico it took her a long time to start working on new songs because she didn’t have anything to write about after being so used to making “sad girl music”. She wasn’t going through anything that was breaking her down during the writing process, and the sound of her next LP will reflect that.
“I want to try to find ways to make good pop music, with a message that really means something. When people hear [the new album], whether they like it or not, I hope they say ‘That sounds really happy,'” said Gomez.
She also said that her upcoming album will be a “real pop record” with an R&B moment, but added that her latest single “Single Soon” isn’t representative of the whole album.

]]>The post “Calm Down” By Rema & Selena Gomez Makes Spotify History With One Billion Streams appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>“Calm Down” was originally released as one of the songs from Rema’s debut album Rave & Roses, but it became a global sensation after Selena Gomez hopped on the remix of this catchy Afrobeats track. The remix peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, in addition to topping the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay charts.
Only about a year after the remix with Selena Gomez was released in August last year, “Calm Down” joined the Billions Club on Spotify. This is quite a historic achievement for the Nigerian singer Rema, who became the first lead African artist to cross the one billion mark with a single song.
“It’s a blessing. It’s not just a big win for me, my team, and family; it’s also a big one for the culture. I feel really happy, and I’m really proud of the fans as well for going back to the song and putting people onto the song. Shout-out to the DJs and everyone who made this possible,” said Rema in a statement.
