Greatest Hits and Musicvideos of 2015 [Popdroid]

I finally continued my musicvideo-chart after some time of absence ...

Hope to update this page frequently. Post also your favourite musicvideos, songtitles,... at this topic.

This is the direct link to my blog, to view all the videos at once: Popdroid Musicblog

The clips from the charts will be randomly posted here in this topic.

 

First post is one of the biggest radio- and charthits right now in Europe.

Platinum album and some prestigious awards in only a couple of months time.


Christine and the Queens - Christine

 

Oscar and the Wolf - Strange Entity

Oscar and the Wolf's second mainstream hit. They won 5 prizes last month at the Belgian Music Awards including "Best Album of the Year".

 

The Avener feat. Phoebe Killdeer - Fade Out Lines

The Avener's rework for "Fade Out Lines" by Australian artist Phoebe Killdeer doesn't need any introduction anymore.
One of the most played tunes on the radio the past month. It has some kind of Wankelmut-vibe in it.
His album is definately worth checking including original stuff + various reworks from Ane Brun to John Lee Hooker.

 

This 17 y.o. New Zealand-girl is considered to become the new Lorde. New Zealand has been delivering some interesting female artists over the last years including Kimbra, Brooke Fraser and Lorde.


Maya Payne - If Only

 

Arsenal collaboration with Danish Talent "Lydmor", second hitsingle from their album "Furu".
The videoclip is part of their self-produced movie "Dance! Dance! Dance!" which was filmed in Japan.
They won a Music Industry Award for "Best Live Band" a couple of years ago + nominations for Best Artwork, Video and Dance.


Arsenal feat. Lydmor: Temul (Lie Low)

 

The very last single of Vaya Con Dios filmed at their "Farewell Concert" last year.
In their carreer they sold more than 10 million records and had various European Nr. 1-hits.
Great single, although there's not much left of her powerful voice she had back in the days.

Featuring early member Willy Willy on guitar, who left the band for The Scabs (The Scabs' comeback album "Ways of a Wild Heart" is released today, after a 10 year hiatus).

Next month both Vaya Con Dios and The Scabs will receive a lifetime achievement award, from the national radiostation, comparable with the R&R Hall of Fame.


Vaya Con Dios - Look at Us Now

 

Another stunning performance from Jazz-Rockband "Dans Dans", a sideproject of bandmembers from Mark Lanegan Band, Flying Horseman and Dez Mona.

Bert Dockx was nominated for "Best Musician" at the Belgian Music Industry Awards last year, but Mauro Pawlowski finally won the battle (dEUS, Gruppo Di Pawlowski, Evil Superstars,...). Their album "3" was considered to be one of the best releases of 2014 by the national press.

Watch their stunning performance for "Bruxelles, Ma Belle":


Dans Dans - Take a Close Look (Live)

 

One more Dez Mona spin-off project:


And They Spoke in Anthems - Summerhouse 76

 

The latest album from The Magic Numbers wasn't that well received by the press, but all singles have been decent radiohits so far.


The Magic Numbers - Roy Orbison

 

French kitsch-band Brigitte is back with a new album. Nominated with a "Victoires de la Musique"-award as "Best Breakthrough"-band in 2012.
This is the title-track of their new album:


Brigitte - A bouche que veux-tu

 

The Preatures released a fun poprock-album "Blue Planet Eyes" last year including the radiohit "Is This How You Feel?" and became one of the most promising Aussie-bands of the moment.

Here's the new single:

The Preatures - Ordinary

 

The new single from the long awaited Rae Morris-debut album "Unguarded". BBC Sound of 2015 nominee.


Rae Morris - Under the Shadows

 

No introduction needed ... The latest Simple Minds-hit!


Simple Minds - Honest Town

 

Latest track from the new Ting Tings-album "Super Critical" and already a huge radiohit. Great new album after the disappointing difficult second album.
Mastering is very good to modern standards, check it out!


The Ting Tings - Do It Again

 

The new Raketkanon-single taken from their new album RKTKN#2.


Raketkanon - Florent

 

VUURWERK are already highly acclaimed for their remixes for e.g. Bon Iver, School Is Cool, Arsenal,...
This is their new single featuring 'secret guest' Climb-X aka Max Colombie (Oscar and the Wolf).


VUURWERK feat. Climb-X: Wakening

 

Bed Rugs are back with this radiofriendly psychedelic popsong, taken from their new album "Cycle", released January 5th.


Bed Rugs - Specks

 

They just played this on Radio Caroline. Pretty awesome track! They've been playing the heck out of the Waterboys new album too.

 

This was a fun video for the new Decemberists album:

 

The Waterboys get many airplay over here as well, especially at Radio 1. Album does pretty well in the album-chart, they still got a huge fanbase in UK & Belgium.


The Waterboys - November Tale

 

The latest single from St. Vincent's award winning album:


St. Vincent - Birth in Reverse

 

Melanie De Biasio will soon release a "Remix-Album" of her highly praised Jazz-Album "No Deal", that also did very well outside the Jazz-world. Including "Gold Status" in various countries, European Breaking Border Award, stunning performance in Later with Jools Holland (the leading music show in Europe), heavy support from BBC6 Music and Belgian/French national stations + impeccable performances at the leading European pop-, rock- and jazzfestivals.

In the mean time she just recorded two hauntingly beautiful remakes of her greatest hits accompanied by a string orchestra. Check them out!

The 24bit Studio Master is available at Qobuz. Vinyl comes with CD. Must have-record.


Melanie De Biasio - No Deal / The Flow

 

Thanks for this thread. As always, half of the clips are blocked over here, but there's still enough good stuff to discover for me.

 

Frustrating in these modern days. Mostly the Vevo-videos give problems all the time.
