Bits About Pop: From Madeon hiding a new track on his website to Coldplay’s new song being a bit shite

BAP-2014Today was a bit of a slow news day, let's not lie, but here are some BAPs nonetheless.

  • Madeon’s made some sort of riddle thing that you have to crack in order to get a free download. (Official site)
  • Rebecca Ferguson would quite like a massive hit single you know. (Digital Spy)
  • One Direction have been nominated for a handful of Kids' Choice Awards. (Billboard)
  • Shakira’s new single ‘Empire’ is now on the internet. (Popjustice) It’s quite something.
  • Iggy Azalea’s album now has some artwork to go with it. (That Grape Juice)
  • You can now recreate some of Beyoncé’s catch­phrases on this here website. (Soundboardt)
  • Also Haim have covered the ‘Why Don’t You Love Me’ hitmaker’s new single ‘in the Live Lounge’. (YouTube)
  • In even more ‘Bey’ news, that video for ‘Partition’ that’s been on iTunes since December is now on YouTube, which must mean it’s def­in­itely the new single. (Popjustice)
  • Ellie Goulding’s written and recorded a new song for a film and that’s now online. (Entertainment Weekly)
  • There’s another new Lea Michele song ‘out there’. (YouTube)
  • Here’s a fairly lengthy chat with Usher about returning to The Voice US. (Billboard)
  • Gary Barlow’s new single has been announced you guys! (Twitter)
  • Ed Sheeran, Bastille and Rudimental have been added to the lineup for the Ibiza and Mallorca ‘gigs’ this summer. (BBC Newsbeat)
  • There’s a remix of The Saturdays’ new single online now. (Digital Spy)
  • MNEK will be having a singsong at the Great Escape festival in Brighton in May. (Twitter)
  • The 5 Seconds of Summer video is now on the internet. (Popjustice)
  • Kylie’s had a chat about her new album and you can read that here if you like. (Idolator)
  • Coldplay have popped a fairly boring new song called ‘Midnight’ onto the internet. (Stereogum) Apparently it was produced by Jon Hopkins if that makes a dif­fer­ence at all.

And for old time's sake…

What a song.
