When culture pops, we wipe it up ...

Remember when Beyoncé used to simply make music videos? Oh, those were the good ol' days, weren't they? In the footsteps of her music video that was actually a Pepsi ad, here's Beyoncé's latest music video (directed by Jonas Åkerlund) that is actually a swimwear commercial for H&M. Seriously, the line is becoming thinner and thinner and it's freaking my sh!t out. Yet the song ("Standing On The Sun") was written by the lovely Sia and Greg MORE
Just because I'm absolutely in love with her music, here's Jessie Ware covering Rihanna's hit song "Diamonds" (written by Sia) for BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. It's a more stripped down version of the original, but I think it works a little bit better because of it. MORE
Hey everyone! I totally miss DJ Paul V.'s weekly mashup column here on PopBytes, but since he retired the column (after bringing us three hundred tasty mashups), he has gone on to become a published author! He started this amazing blog called Born This Way, which collected childhood pictures and stories from people reflecting on memories and early beginnings of their innate LGBTQ selves! The blog took off like wildfire and now there's a book MORE
When I first heard Rihanna's number one song "Diamonds," I couldn't help but feel like it had certain vocal flourishes reminiscent of Sia. (Specifically, the hiccuping "Shine bright like a diamond.") Turns out, I was right about that part: the song was originally written by Sia, who's fast becoming one of the most reliably proficient singer/songwriters out there. So here she is covering "Diamonds" for herself, and to be honest, I think she MORE
Weird factoid of the day: David Guetta's collaboration with Sia, "Titanium," is to date his biggest critical success and one of the best charting dance songs ever, and yet no one knows who Sia is. The weirdest part: It's because she refuses to appear in any of the videos for her collaborations with Guetta. I know, totally odd. In "Titanium," Sia was replaced by a kid with psychic powers, and for the new video for "She Wolf," she's been replaced MORE
Here's the thing, I do love Rihanna, I have for years but she's so damn overexposed, it's getting to the point where girlfriend is getting on my nerves! She's already releasing a new album in November (title TBD), she's been dropping one every year since 2009! Yet it turns out, I actually like her new single "Diamonds" a lot, a totally refreshing change from her club bangers (currently way overplayed on the radio), a switch-up that was long MORE
Would you walk 500 miles for an amazing mashup? Well, all you have to do is walk right over to your right-click function, and grab it! When I saw who was listed inside this blend, I wasn't sure it would work. But oh, how wrong I was! And I was stupid to even doubt its creator DJ Schmolli, 'cuz he doesn't make duds! So please enjoy David Guetta featuring Sia (blowing up like Titanium), those 80's ginger-nerd boys from The Proclaimers, and even a MORE
Admittedly, I'm not the biggest David Guetta fan (some of his songs just sound a little too similar to me) but when he gets it right, he gets it right. His collaboration with Sia called Titanium is pretty much proof positive that for all the mindless dance music he makes, he can also craft a near-perfect track too. MORE
