And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Paul Weller features prominently on organ in “Holy Mountain,” adding to its psychedelic and glam rock vibe. A far cry from his usual self, he fits right in alongside Gallagher’s ensemble.
2. Michel Teló’s catchy tune reached new heights, claiming number one in 23 countries. Quite the continental conquest for a Brazilian banger.
3. Kerrang! TV played host to the “You Wanna Know” video, bringing Don Broco’s post-hardcore anthem to TV sets across the rock-viewing nation.
4. Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick lent his strings to Foo Fighters’ track, courtesy of a session at Steve Albini’s Chicago studio. It’s not all tricks when Nielsen’s around.
5. Fall Out Boy’s video cheekily nods to NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” by transforming the band into dolls—a nostalgic throwback with a pop twist.
6. British duo Disclosure teamed up with London Grammar for “Help Me Lose My Mind,” an ethereal track swimming in electronic and soulful elements. Spacey synths meet haunting vocals.
7. Khalid’s “Free Spirit” houses the remix of “Saturday Nights” as a bonus track. The collaboration is something of a Saturday special.
8. The BTS remix incorporated Lauv’s lyrical stylings, fusing K-pop charm with a sprinkle of Lauv’s distinctive English verses. A harmonious blend indeed.
9. The “Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)” cover art prominently displays a reflective ring, flanked by a moody sky and a future-personified butterfly.
10. Paolo Nutini’s track notably features a segment from Charlie Chaplin’s speech, fitting seamlessly with its themes of hope and humanity—Nutini’s nod to classic cinematic speech.
11. Depeche Mode dropped their track from *Delta Machine* to eager ears in 2013. A synth-pop package wrapped in the dark insouciance of Berlin days.
12. Timbaland’s “Shock Value” gave “Apologize” its commercial stage, allowing OneRepublic’s composition to echo around the globe. Quite the value pack, indeed.
