YouTube singing sensation Sam Tsui partnered with Casey Breves to gift the world with this amazing mash-up of Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” and Sam Smith’s “I’m Not The Only One.”
In this simple music video, Tsui flexes his vocals for Ed’s “Thinking Out Loud” while Casey simultaneously performs Sam’s “I’m Not the Only One.”
YouTube has released its list of the most popular music videos from around the world in 2014 and, unsurprisingly, it reads like a tour of the year’s biggest break-out hits.
From The Chainsmokers to Katy Perry, Kiesza to Enrique Iglesias, these are the videos that were impossible to miss this year.

The “Stronger” singer thrilled fans this week when she announced a new album for 2015.
Of course, it’s not just new songs we love Kelly for: When she tours, Clarkson invites fans to make song requests online and then picks one to perform when she gets into town—everything from Etta James to Eminem.

Troye Sivan, 19, started vlogging back in 2012, since then his channel has amassed over 2.5 million subscribers and 100 million views. He’s collaborated with A-list YouTubers like Zoella, Hannah Hart and Marcus Butler. His friendship with Tyler Oakley has spawned its own fandom, one with its own shipping portmanteau (Troyler, obvs) and the power to win the boys a Teen Choice Award.
Troye Sivan is what happens when you mix Lorde’s down-under roots and alt-pop sensibility with Bieber’s rabid fan-base and mainstream ambitions. It sounds crazy on paper but delightful through headphones.
Like most teens, Troye’s got sex on the brain and a sense of humor that would make most parents blush. Unlike most teen stars, however, these aspects of his personality haven’t been sandblasted away in an effort to make him seem as non-threatening as possible. He announced the release of his music video with a vlog in which he also pondered the consequences of horizontal butt-cracks.
Before he signed with EMI Music Australia, Troye wrote and released a lot of music independently. He recorded videos of himself singing cover songs, wrote musicalyear-end recaps and released an independent charity single inspired by The Fault In Our Stars. He wasn’t just handed a record deal because he had 2 million followers, he worked hard for it.
When you look at the visuals for TRXYE it’s obvious that years of reblogging has paid off for Troye. While other, older pop stars pluck indiscriminately from Tumblr’s pages in an effort to stay relevant, Troye’s moody, colorful aesthetic is clearly homegrown.
All Troye did to promote TRXYE was talk about it on social media; he didn’t do a press tour or give interviews. Instead, he relied on the power of his fans to propel him to the top of the charts with their GIFs, hashtags and vlogs. It ended up being a smart strategy because both “Happy Little Pill” and TRXYE debuted at the top of the iTunes chart in dozens of countries around the globe.
This shouldn’t be a big deal, but when you can count the number of out-and-proud pop stars on one hand, it kind of is. Especially when you consider the fact that Adam Lambert, Frank Ocean and Sam Smith all waited until after they had experienced some success before to talk openly about being queer. Troye, however, came out a full year before his major-label debut.
What’s the point at which someone stops being Internet famous and starts just being plain-old famous? Surely it coincides with debuting at the top of the iTunes chart in fifty different countries and cracking the Billboard top five, right? It must.
‘SNL”s Vanessa Bayer stars in the amazing new video, which also features cameos from Kesha, A$AP Rocky and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig. Watch below!
Bebe Rexha, 24-year-old Albanian-American singer who was once the lead singer of Pete Wentz’s band Black Cards, is embarking on a solo career now with the lead single from her debut album.
“‘I Can’t Stop Drinking About You‘ is about that gut-sinking feeling you get right after your heart’s been broken,” Bebe told Billboard. “I wanted the song to be a snapshot of how someone feels at that exact moment. The video is modest and raw, and I tried to capture that feeling of heart break and the whirlwind of the emotions that come with it: a little bit of anger, frustration, sadness, the craziness, and the fear of the unknown. It’s the aftermath of love gone wrong.”
Good Music. Good Life.
