Metal Loaf posted:I haven't really heard much of Paramore, but this song was fun to listen to. It'll probably be a decent hit on the Mainstream Rock chart, but I don't know if it's likely to cross over into the Hot 100. I feel that if they were just to bump the vocals up a bit more in the mix this would easily chart on pop stations. It seems like it could be the next massive hit except I think it's just a little too focused on the instruments and not the voice of the lead singer. Of course, I have a feeling Paramore is the type of band that would want to punch me for that suggestion, and I'm not even saying it would make the song better... just more "singalong"-able and therefore higher on the Hot 100.

My favorite pop group at the moment that has the chance to someday actually go somewhere big is Ghost Beach. Spotify played one of their songs in an ad and I was pretty much instantly hooked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MKwM-7Y1Zk They've released two EPs as well as a number of standalone songs, and amongst all of their songs the worst I can say is that I didn't find one or two of them remarkably catchy. The last time I liked a pop group's music this universally was Donkeyboy (a few years back) but they're Norweigan and almost nobody in the US has heard of them, nor will they get an opportunity to. Ghost Beach seems to be rising up pretty quick, and they just apparently got a billboard in Times Square. Hopefully I'll be hearing them on the radio soon. Honestly, I'm finding that more and more I like listening to the top 100. It's like the electronic music that I really liked in the 90 and 00s has grown up with me and mainstream pop has decided to run with it. I would have loved so many of the songs on the radio now when I was in middle and high school.

Honestly, it seems like one of these positive message of self-empowerment for teens songs charts out every few months now. Firework, What Doesn't Kill You, Who Says, and I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. It just seems like the thing to sing about at the moment.

Stalins Moustache posted:I'm going to see this band live tonight. Norwegian pop at it's best (except for A-ha but we don't talk about that). Maybe in September we will, when their new album is out. All I can hope is that it's just as good as the last one they released, and that they decide that they should keep going after all. Also, Donkeyboy has to have a new album coming out sometime soon, right? They've released a few new singles over the last year but no album news as far as I can tell.

Mariah Carey, as much as I've never been a fan, has an admittedly wonderful voice.This song does not suit her at all, it just sounds like it was written for someone else. It just sounds so bizarrely wrong to me. EDIT: And is that a reference to the equally bizarre Kermit meme with the "Ain't none of my business, it's tea though" line?

Deja Vu does have hints of Together in Electric Dreams at times to me so I can see how they say it sounds like classic Moroder.

Yoshifan823 posted:Actually, that's the third time I've thought that about a single this year, after Jason DeRulo and a song that I can't loving remember and it bugs me because it was by a singer that I remembered and had a couple singles a few years ago but my loving brain doesn't remember who it was (not Ne-Yo). I would have guessed Fun by Pitbull and Chris Brown. It reminds me of Wanna Be Starting Something.

Not sure if this belongs here because while I've heard it on the radio and would classify it as pop music I definitely haven't heard it on any top 40 pop stations, but man do I dig it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSP4DJtRbak

Coldplay has released at least one upbeat single from each album since A Rush of Blood to the Head it seems. A Sky Full of Stars, Every Teardrop is a Waterfall, Clocks, Speed of Sound, Viva La Vida, and the new single that I can't remember the name of are all big-sounding songs that I could see working at a halftime show. Plus, they could totally open the show with Yellow before blasting into something bigger, plus they always have the option to bring Rihanna in for Princess of China and one of her own songs in the middle. I think it will go just fine.

I really like 21 Pilots. I pretty much like all of the singles they have released, and a lot of them are super diverse. I can definitely understand people not liking their style and how they present themselves, but I love the music. (The official video for this one has a a minute of nothing before it so I just linked the audio) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCT8G5F99gg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nky4me4NP70 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktBMxkLUIwY

Stalins Moustache posted:I love Chvrches and I'm a huge loving nerd so seeing them being the artist for the main theme song of the new Mirror's Edge game got me grinning like mad. It's an awesome song too! I like this a lot. It doesn't feel like it would make as iconic of a theme for Mirror's Edge as Still Alive (the first time I saw the first trailer for Mirror's Edge was probably the coolest game trailer moment I've ever had), but it's really catchy and I'm sure I'll listen to it a bunch.

Why is Lost Boy by Ruth B becoming so popular? It seems like the opposite of everything else people want on the radio, and the subject matter seems a bit out of place the year after the latest attempt to revitalize Peter Pan was a huge bomb.

The song is weird in a sense that I think the production sounds fantastic but the vocals and feel of the song jump all over the place. In some ways it feels like a mashup artist mixed two songs I've never heard together, because the lyrics and music technically fit together but it doesn't seem like they were meant to.

DC Murderverse posted:I dunno, do you really think Kanye is the person who is occupying Taylor's mind the most right now? I think Katy Perry has put up a tent in the area of T-Swizz's brain where Kanye used to live. I thought the whole thing with snakes is that Kanye fans called her a snake after the voicemail came out where she supposedly gave the ok on the line in Famous. I figured the snake imagery was a reference to that.

Here's a huge playlist of Italo Disco on youtube, and I've linked to my favorite song I had never heard before stumbling across this list. It's so cheesy, it's so 80s, but man if I don't love pretty much everything about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mz1MTGW-5g&feature=youtu.be&list=PLpvoRUgc89Johhs5n3hG0GlkUlylgvK_M As a bonus, here's some gifs I made a long time ago of different videos from this playlist that I felt best represented the 80s:

I've always been a huge sucker for the three note progression she uses in the words "enjoy your life" at the end there. It's why I also loved Taio Cruz' Dynamite and a bunch of other pop songs. Does that set of three notes have a name?

She had a minor hit last year or the year before with "Me Too" which I actually thought was pretty good. EDIT: No, "Me Too" was terrible.

It's really safe, relies a lot on sounding just a tiny bit like some of her more well received pop songs during the verse, and is a bit boring for it. That said, it's way less annoying than "Look What You Made Me Do" and everything except the pre-chorus of "Are You Ready For It".

I honestly like it, I dig the production and melody. The lyrics are trying too hard much of the time, but even during the pre-chorus at 34 seconds I really dig the sort of weird internal rhyme scheme it has going on for it.

I'm sure it's just me but listening to that Kelly Clarkson cover of Til The World Ends makes me miss the trance-y EDM pop craze from 6-8 years ago. That was probably the era of pop music that felt most in tune with my own personal tastes.
