In the wake of the suspected terrorist attack at Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester, England, fellow pop stars including Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Rihanna, Demi Lovato, Nicki Minaj, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift have taken to social media to voice support and heartbreak for the victims and their families. Ariana,...

The death toll has risen and there’s been an arrest. In the moments after a bomb erupted outside Manchester Arena at roughly 10:30 p.m. on Monday night (May 22), following Ariana Grande’s performance, multiple conflicting reports began to pour in. What once was said to be a series of explosions is now thought to have been a single explosion detonated as concertgoers exited the venue, killing 22...

Last week, when Katy Perry dropped "Swish Swish," the third single from her forthcoming album Witness, heated speculation immediately began to fly as to whether the feisty pop gem is an answer to Taylor Swift’s 2015 diss track "Bad Blood." Well... the 32-year-old recently joined James Corden for some Carpool Karaoke and she took the opportunity to finally tell her side of the story. "She started...

Fridays can be overwhelming for pop fans. Every week you’re bombarded with a glut of new music, which can lead to ear candy falling through the cracks. I’m hoping to circumvent that tragic scenario with The Drop — a cheat sheet (of sorts) to get you through New Music Friday. By now, you’ve probably heard Selena Gomez's critically-acclaimed, Talking Heads-sampling "Bad Liar" and possibly checked...

Lana Del Rey and The Weeknd's new "Lust for Life" video is the stuff of dreams. Lana begins as the lead singer of a Shangri-Las-style girl group, before she suddenly runs away from the set. From there she climbs up the infamous Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, glowing as it did during the '50s. And she finds the Abel, her new Prince Charming, and slow dances on top of the H — her new home, according...

Ariana Grande has indefinitely suspended the Dangerous Woman World Tour after 19 people were killed and at least 50 more were injured in a suspected suicide bombing at her show in Manchester, England. According to TMZ, she is too distressed to continue with the live extravaganza. The pop star, who was unharmed in the attack, expressed her heartbreak over the situation via Twitter. "Broken," she wrote....

Amy Shark broke big in Australia in 2016 courtesy of a moody, emotional anthem called "Adore." It peaked at number 3 on the ARIA singles chart, sold platinum and, perhaps most impressively, came second on Triple J’s nation-stopping Hottest 100 countdown. (The winner? Flume and Kai’s "Never Be Like You"). It was only a matter of time before the Gold Coast singer/songwriter attracted international...

The promo never ends for Katy Perry. After going viral with wacky performances of "Swish Swish" and "Bon Appetit" on Saturday Night Live, the pop star treated fans to an impromptu yoga class. This morning (May 22), she rolls out a new promo video for Witness. The aim, I think, is to give a little context to an era that has bounced from woke-pop anthems to explicit bangers without much explanation....

The world of pop music moves fast, especially for those who enjoy the sounds of the East and the West. Keeping up with the Hot 100 is hard enough, let alone knowing what’s going on in Japan and the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it K-Pop scene. To help you stay on top of Asia’s hottest pop music, I’ve put together East Beat — a handy guide to the best K-Pop and J-Pop songs of the week.Leading the...

MØ casually dropped one of the best pop songs of 2017 in April. Produced by Benny Blanco, Cashmere Cat and SOPHIE (i.e. the electro-pop dream team), "Nights With You" is a throbbing banger that courses with emotion. On face value, the lyrics seemingly have a sapphic twist. But there are other ways of interpreting it. "[The song] was written for my best (and oldest) friend, and the song is a celebration...

Iggy Azalea's "Mo Bounce" ranks as one of the slickest hip-hop/pop hybrids of the year, but it failed to dent the Billboard Hot 100. The Australian rapper should have more luck with the Katy Perry-approved "Switch." Featuring Brazilian superstar Anitta, the sassy bop is distinctly more radio-friendly. It's not quite as overtly pop as "Fancy" or "Black Widow," but it has a massive chorus, bone-rattling...

And she's back! Selena Gomez's "Bad Liar" arrives tonight and it's a deceptively catchy bop that stands out as an instant Song Of The Summer contender. The relatable anthem finds the pop star obsessing over an ex after a chance encounter. "I was walking down the street the other day, trying to distract myself,” she sings over a throbbing sample of Talking Heads’ 1977 classic “Psycho Killer.”...
