And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. The song “Busy” was penned by Adam Argyle and Martin Brammer, adding to Olly Murs’ pop repertoire. With their unique flair, the duo helped craft a catchy melody and relatable lyrics.
2. The “Started” video showcases creativity with a fictional product infomercial. Iggy Azalea’s humorous twist features “Die Slow Cake Co.,” blending parody with music.
3. “Burn the Witch” borrows an idea from “The Wicker Man.” Radiohead’s stop-motion video echoes the film’s eerie themes and serves as a poignant commentary.
4. Caroline Wickberg contributed additional vocals on “This Orient,” enriching Foals’ sound. Her voice complements the indie rock ethereal environment.
5. “Genius” by LSD made its digital debut within the sports gaming world, specifically FIFA 19. Later, it became part of FIFA 23’s electronic soundtrack no less.
6. In Katy Perry’s video, she quite literally becomes a meal. The offbeat visual satire involves a team of chefs preparing Perry in an elaborate dining scenario.
7. “MIKA vs RedOne” connects to Kick-Ass, a superhero film, reflecting its colorful and bold theme. The track aligns with the film’s energetic vibe.
8. Ben Stiller appears in the Tenacious D video, bringing comedic energy. His cameo complements Jack Black’s characteristic humor and lively performance.
9. Martin Garrix’s track sits proudly on “Now That’s What I Call Music! 103.” The collaboration with Macklemore and Patrick Stump gained broad exposure.
10. Ultra Music Festival provided a testing ground for Sub Focus’ beats. Before reaching the masses, early listeners got a taste directly from the DJ booth.
11. Pendulum’s video made waves as a Myspace exclusive early on. The choice of platform highlights the dynamic digital age of music promotion.
12. James Arthur provided vocals on Marshmello’s track. His distinct singing style was a driving force alongside the rhythmic pop beats.
