Tracklist
1 . Miguel – Adorn |
‘Would you be my friend, my freak?’
|
| Miguel unveils an artsy, dream-inspired video for his song ‘Adorn.’ The video features surreal visuals like ladies in mesh masks, water leaking from suitcases, and underwater singing. The lyrics, inspired by his girlfriend Nazanin Mandi, delve into the depth of love and still have a raw, unfinished feel. |

2 . Adele – Hello |
| In the Xavier Dolan-directed video, captured with IMAX cameras and casting Tristan Wilds from “The Wire” as her ex, Adele looks back at a past heartbreak she has obviously initiated. Upon the release of the clip, the question has been asked: if you call someone “a thousand times,” why do you have to call him “at home” and on his landline? It is 2015, after all. |

3 . Kings Of Leon – Wait For Me |
‘It’s all better now, it’s all better now’
|
| Kings of Leon’s “Wait For Me” is a warm, passionate song sitting on Southern syncopated rhythms and crooned by Caleb Followill, the kind of song that wishes to bring some comfort to a lover, before ending in a Pearl Jam-esque finale. |

4 . The Chainsmokers – Don’t Let Me Down |
‘Yeah, I need you right now So don’t let me down’
|
| “Don’t Let Me Down,” featuring vocals from Daya, is a pop track with a synth-driven drop that’s perfect for both dancefloors and personal listening. The song’s official music video, directed by Marcus Kuhne and shot in L.A., showcases The Chainsmokers vs. Daya in a bizarre and quite bumpy confrontation in the woods. |

5 . Only The Young – I Do |
‘I would always put you first like that’
|
| The band, Only the Young, consisting of Betsy-Blue English, Charlie George, Michael Bromley, and Parisa Tarjomani, have one single, “I Do,” before splitting. Too bad! |
| HEAR IT | 
|
6 . Jessie Ware – Tough Love |
| Jessie Ware merges electronica with a refreshing blend of clear pop and sophisticated soul. “Tough Love” (both the single and the eponymous album) addresses love and loss, transforming sorrow into therapeutic melodies. |

7 . Rita Ora – Body On Me (w/ Chris Brown) |
‘And I’ma go to work ’til you get off’
|
| “Body On Me” is a song, centered around intimate and ambiguous desires. The Collin Tilley-directed video is far more explicit and steamy, depicting Ora and Brown’s instant carnal attraction after a chance elevator meeting, leading two neighbors to passionate fantasies and even a bit of roof dancing. |

Featured on the 2015 album “Body on Me”. |
8 . Calvin Harris – One Kiss (w/ Dua Lipa) |
| One Kiss, mixing Calvin Harris’s signature production and Dua Lipa’s strong vocals, is a chart-topping dance-pop track, marked by the allure of new – “One kiss is all it takes” – romance and a catchy chorus. Directed by Emil Nava, the video showcases Dua and her creature-costumed dancers in various dynamic and bizarre settings, with Calvin making a cameo as her waiter. |

9 . Anne-Marie – 2002 |
| Anne-Marie’s single “2002” is a nostalgic pop track that reminisces about the early 2000s. The song, co-written by Ed Sheeran, references iconic hits from that era, including Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time,” *NSYNC’s “Bye, Bye, Bye,” and even Jay-Z’s “99 Problems.” The catchy chorus samples lyrics from these classics, evoking memories of youthful summers. |
| HEAR IT | 
Featured on the 2018 album “Speak Your Mind”. |
10 . Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe |
| Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” is about a girl asking a guy to call her up for a date. The video, directed by Ben Knechtel, follows the same pitch exactly until its surprising finish. |

11 . Cheryl – Under The Sun |
| In the “Under the Sun” video, the Northern songstress channels the late 50’s and early 60’s fashion in her video, donning a mini cardigan over a yellow bra and an orange pencil skirt. Throughout the video, which features three classic Citroën cars, Cheryl and her beehive hairdo captivate every man. |
| HEAR IT | 
Featured on the 2012 album “A Million Light”. |
12 . Charlie Puth – Marvin Gaye (w/ Meghan Trainor) |
‘It’s Kama Sutra show and tell, yeah’
|
| Directed by Marc Klasfeld, the music video for Charlie Puth’s “Marvin Gaye” takes viewers to a nostalgic school dance setting, leading to unexpected pairings, including teachers. Meghan Trainor’s soulful verse adds to the lukewarm and schmaltzy atmosphere. |
