The worst part about snippets of new music is when the song fails to live up to expectations when you’re met with the full thing. Luckily, Charli XCX’s new single, “After the Afterparty,” doesn’t fall victim to that here, as the complete version of the track is everything that the snippet was and more.
Australian pop singer/songwriter Betty Who is gearing up to finally release a brand new single. Following up her one-off cover of “I Love You Always Forever,” the fresh track, titled “Human Touch,” is expected to be the first taste of a new album due out next year.
D.R.A.M. is quickly rising up as one of the most promising hip-hop artists in the game. Bursting onto the scene with his breakout single, “Broccoli,” the rapper is making moves both on the charts and in real life.
It looks like the whole solo thing is working out pretty well for Niall Horan. Just weeks after debuting his solo single, “This Town,” the ex-One Directioner is hitting radio stations hard to promote the new venture. The track is currently sitting at number 21 on the Mainstream Top 40 and doesn’t show signs of slowing down. With his recent performance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, there’s no reason why it should.
Can’t get enough of The Weeknd? We don’t blame you. Luckily, his new album, Starboy, is only a month away, and we’ve got two songs in “Starboy” and “False Alarm” to spin until the speakers blow out. The pop singer is trying to make the wait go by a little quicker, though, as he just announced plans to open Starboy pop-up shops on the weekend of November 4th to the 6th to hype up the record a bit more.
Macklemore is doing something very different with his new track “Drug Dealer.” Aside from the fact that it’s the first song from the “Thrift Shop” rapper since releasing his record with Ryan Lewis back in February, it’s also the first music that he's debuting without his musical partner-in-crime in quite a while. Credited as only Macklemore, “Drug Dealer” is his most personal song yet, and it now has a dark music video to accompany it.
Britney Spears is finally getting set to promote a new single from her latest record, Glory. Released two months ago, the only official single we’ve seen from it was the G-Eazy assisted, “Make Me…,” and for some reason or another, her team took a while to send something new out to radio. The next track that’ll be getting the single treatment is “Slumber Party” -- but it’ll come with a little twist.
Swedish pop star Tove Lo is just days away from dropping hew new album, Lady Wood. The record, out on October 28th, is shaping up to be not only her best, but some of the best pop that will be released this year.

This is no perfect illusion: Lady Gaga will be taking the stage on November 20th to perform live at the American Music Awards, where she’ll be performing tracks from her newly released record, Joanne.
It has been nearly four long years since we’ve last seen a record from Kesha. The pop-perfect album, Warrior, arrived in November of 2012, and since then, Kesha dropped the $ from her name and entered a messy trial with songwriter Dr. Luke. This trial was to remove herself from her contract following allegations of sexual assault committed by the producer -- it was ultimately the reason for no new music from the “Die Young” star. However, it seems as though things are finally changing, as a new album from Kesha is due out in the near future.
