We are counting down the days until the release of Thomas Rhett’s new album, “Tangled Up!” He just revealed the track listing for the album, out September 25th, to Rolling Stone. “Tangled Up” will feature Thomas’ current single, “Crash and Burn,” which just broke the top 5 on the country charts. The funky vibes of that track will resonate throughout the album, with Thomas citing Bruno Mars and motown as influences.
Other highlights include fan favorites “South Side” and “T-Shirt,” which Thomas has been playing at his live shows, and a duet with Jordin Sparks. We’re thrilled that one of our favorite tracks, “Die A Happy Man,” made the album. It’s a beautiful song that Thomas wrote for his wife, Lauren. Check out the full tracklisting below!

We’re off to the beach for a week and while we’ll never stop fangirling, we won’t be posting. Here are the songs we’ll be jamming to all week. Also, it’s Summer y’all! Go outside and enjoy!
1. Jake Miller – “Rumors”
We’d like to start some rumors with Jake! There isn’t one song we skip on this surprise EP, and we can probably sing the entire thing by heart already.
2. Austin Mahone – “Dirty Work”
Austin has been busy doing some dirty work for his Mahomies, and it’s worth it! Y’know this ain’t no 9-5, we’re going sundown to sunrise. Dirty Work!
3. North of Nine – “Better Off Together”
Jackson Guthy’s voice gets better every time we see North Of Nine live, and his band never fails to bring a grin to our faces during the set. We’ll ride or die with North Of Nine any day!!
4. Nathan Sykes – “Kiss Me Quick”
Nathan’s voice is what Bruno Mars would call “smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy!” This song will for sure be on full blast all Summer long.
5. MKTO – “Bad Girls”
We’re suckers for anything with a horn section and MKTO have that covered. They just dropped an EP with the same name.
There’s nothing we love more than boybands … especially when they can dance! Our latest artist to watch, The Fooo Conspiracy, are not your average boyband. Band mates Felix, Olly, Omar and Oscar have mastered the art of keeping audiences entertained with their mixture of classic boyband harmonies and choreographed dancing. But the classically trained dancers actually choreograph their own dance moves and incorporate parkour into their performances! (We can hear the fangirl screams now!)
The Foo Conspiracy have opened for Justin Bieber and The Vamps, and are currently on the POPNATION! Tour across the US this Summer with After Romeo and The Bomb Digz. The group is also managed by Johnny Wright, who knows a thing or two about boybands himself: he’s worked with New Kids on the Block, Justin Timberlake and the Jonas Brothers.
Their latest single, “Run With Us,” will have you dancing along in no time. Like they sing, the party don’t start till they turn up! Watch the video below.
If you’re heading to the POPNATION Tour, be sure to catch their high energy set! VIP tickets for the tour are available on the POPNATION! Tour website. Check out the upcoming dates below.

Nathan Sykes made his solo US debut with a sold out show at Gramercy Theatre in New York City last night. Nathan made a name for himself as the youngest and arguably the strongest vocalist in the British boyband, The Wanted which has since disbanded. After a few minor set backs like vocal surgery, Nathan is ready to take over the pop world! He’s armed with a velvety smooth voice and a classic sound that even your parents will love. And trust us, the man can SING.
A few hours before the show started, Nathan had tweeted that he was feeling under the weather and he wasn’t sure if he could even make the show. But he pulled through and sounded incredible! Nathan still hit every note and gave 110% into his performance. You never know what to expect from a debut show where the crowd doesn’t know all the songs, but Nathan had the house dancing from start to finish. In between songs, Nathan announced his debut solo album will be released in January 2016 in the United States. We can’t wait to hear recorded versions of our favorite songs from last night like “Twist,” “Freedom,” and “Money.”
Nathan Sykes at Gramercy Theatre NYC July 22nd, 2015
It was a fitting place for Nathan to launch his solo career. The Wanted played a show at Gramercy Theatre that was “where it all began,” for the band, as Nathan mentioned during the show. After last night, we’re sure that this is also the start of something new and exciting and we can’t wait to be along for the ride! We love Nathan’s 60s rat pack style and sound, and the fact that he plays with a full, 8 piece band, including a horn section. Oh, and did we mention Nathan can DANCE? It’s always a question mark whether or not a boyband member can go solo, but we just might have another JT.

Carly Rae Jepsen knows how to craft a hit song and make a cute video. “Run Away With Me” shows off Carly Rae’s fun-loving, adventurous life as she goofs around and plays tourist in Paris, New York and Tokyo! The video matches the romantic feeling of the song, making you feel like she took you on the best vacation of your life: dancing on NYC subway platforms, taking in Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower, and singing karaoke in true Tokyo fashion.
Carly Rae’s 80’s inspired, synth heavy sound on her new album, “EM.O.TION” is just what we’ve been wanting for this summer!
Watch the video for “Run Away With Me” below.
Preorder your copy of “EM.O.TION” on iTunes or Amazon now.
Hilary Duff is ready to take over your playlists this summer with her brand new song “My Kind.” The synth heavy, Latin inspired track is perfect for those hot nights you just want to dance in the Summer rain. The video follows Hilary from a songwriting session to dance rehearsal, which we can only hope is for an upcoming tour!
