2015 Billboard Music Awards Nominees Announced

After a several hour-long reveal, the nominees for this year’s Billboard Music Awards have been unveiled.

Leading the pack with the most nomination, to the surprise of no one, is Taylor Swift with a total of 14 nominations in 13 of the 40 categories. Falling behind her are Sam Smith with 13, Iggy Azalea with 12, and Meghan Trainor with nine.

from all the categories, there is only one that will be fan voted; the Billboard Chart Achievement Award. Swift, Trainor, Azalea are up for the fan-centric award though we’re putting money on Swift winning pretty much everything she’s nominated for.

Those interested in voting on that award can go to Billboard.com, BillboardMusicAwards.com, and/or Twitter to put in their two cents.

Listen to the First 2014 Pop Music Mashup

In less than two weeks, we say good-bye to the year that was 2014 and to think, it feels like it was just yesterday that we were bringing in the new year with so much hope.

Band reunions, anniversary tours, new albums, random music news, and much more have kept us busily writing for you guys (old and new followers) and we would like to thank you for taking a couple of seconds of your day to read a post, like it and even reblog it if you have this year.

As the year comes to an end, we are surely going to begin to see many mash-ups of the year’s most infectiously catchy (and most often than not, annoying) songs of the year.

DJ Daniel Kim who puts out his yearly “Pop Danthology” out around this time is at it again with his mash-up of 66 of the biggest songs of the year.

Check out his 2014 year in review which features songs such as Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass,” Pharrell’s “Happy,” Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off,” Maroon 5’s “Animals,” and many more clocking in at over six minutes.

Today, KIIS-FM in Los Angeles and KDWB in Minneapolis have unveiled the performers to be gracing the stage at the respect Jingle Ball installments.

As if the pop music phenoms slated to take the stage wasn’t enough, Nick Jonas has been tapped to host both days of Jingle Ball. Tickets for the annual mini music fests will go on sale on Oct. 18 at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.

Jingle Ball line-ups which are still missing include Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Miami which will reportedly be revealed at 5 p.m. today.

The Killers Get “Fancy” at the U.K.’s V Festival

killers

Last month, video footage surfaced of The Killers covering one of the Summer’s catchiest, but at the same time annoying tracks on the radio, Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy.”

It looks like the Vegas band’s slight cover of the song back in July was not the only time they had done so. during their performance at UK’s V Festival in Staffordshire, the band covered the top 20 radio staple once again. Like when they originally covered the track in Montreal, they changed the lyrics a bot to fit the location they were in (“From LA to Tokyo” was replaced by “From Las Vegas to Staffordshire).”

There are several fan-shot videos of the cover so we’ll leave you with some of them so you can see it from different angles. Oh,a nd the best part of the video(s)? Drummer Ronnie Vannucci’s interpretive dance of the song.

According to Gigwise, “Fancy” wasn’t the only cover the band snuck in during their 19 tracks set. They also did a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising” and a slight cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Ruby Tuesday.”

The Killers Get “Fancy”

killers

We would be the first to admit that Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” has become one of our Summer 2014 staples, though we aren’t sure if it’s partially due to the Clueless-inspired music video or Charli XCX’s vocals on the track. (Azalea’s rapping is whatever, in our opinion).

It looks like we aren’t the only ones who rock the song on loud in our cars. During their stop at Montreal’s Bell Centre last week, something really cool happened when the Las Vegas band covered the Top 20 hit, though it was a short cover of their version of the track which slowed down the tempo and featured a lyrics change  (“From LA to Tokyo” was replaced by “From Las Vegas to Montreal”) as well as frontman Brandon Flowers’ iconic keyboards.

The coolest part of the video, which can be seen below? When a silhouette of drummer Ronnie Vannucci did a little dance to the song.

Didn’t think rock star rolled like that, huh?

Ariana Grande Releases “Problem” Video

image

If you are one of the peope who were eagerly awaiting Ariana Grande’s music video for her current radio staple, “Problem,” then get excited because it finally debuted. The video, much like her recent live performances have the 1960s vibe going for it. It kind of makes you want to go watch some Austin Powers.

As for the rest of us, if you saw her iHeartRadio and most recently Billboard Music Award performances, then you have a general idea of what the music video is. Some props go out to the backup dancer and Iggy Azalea who looks very Bong girl-ish in the video. Watch it here.
