Lost Frequencies feat. Janieck Devy: “Reality” (2015)
Lost Frequencies is Belgian music producer and DJ Felix Safran De Laet, whose previous single, “Are You With Me” went to number one in seven countries in 2014.
“Reality” also topped the charts in his native country, as well as Austria and Germany, but like its predecessor looks to miss the U.S. charts entirely.
Maybe if they’d put some nudity in the video…

Starting with his first professional recordings and appearances on the Dr. Demento radio show almost 35 years ago, “Weird Al” Yankovic has managed to stay on the pop culture map and change with the times, even while so many of the bands and artists he has parodied lost the spotlight. Here are some facts about “Weird Al” Yankovic and his songs.
The legend—verified by Al Yankovic in the liner notes of his 1994 box set Permanent Record: Al in the Box—reads that on the day before Al turned 7, a door-to-door salesman came through Lynwood, California, to solicit business for a local music school, which offered its pupils a choice between guitar or accordion lessons. Because Frankie Yankovic shared the family’s surname and was known as “America’s Polka King,” Al’s parents chose the squeezebox for their son. Al would gradually learn how to play rock n’ roll on the instrument, mostly from Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, playing it “over and over” and trying to play along with it. Frankie and Al weren’t actually related, but the two would eventually collaborate, with Al playing on “Who Stole the Kishka?” on Frankie’s Songs of the Polka King, Vol. 1, and Frankie’s “The Tick Tock Polka” played by Al as a lead-in to Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” on the Alpocalypse track “Polka Face.”

Jem: “They” (2003)
From Jem’s debut EP It All Starts Here… and her 2004 full-length Finally Woken. Jem is like a slightly more ambitious and eclectic Dido–which could be a strength or weakness, depending whether you value diversity or so-called “cohesiveness” in an album.
I suppose in the download era it’s irrelevant anyway. “They” is the keeper track.
