Following a seemingly unexpected reunion and a string of performances in recent weeks, Fall Out Boy's comeback album Save Rock and Roll has been well-received by fans and critics alike. Further proof of its success arrives on Wednesday, 
U.K. outfit The 1975 has premiered a new video for their track, "The City." The black-and-white clip, complete with plenty of bare skin, showcases a dance-inducing rock tune, while offering a glimpse into the band's forthcoming summer album. 
It's one of our favorite songs of the year, hands down. And in another sign of Phosphorescent's (Matthew Houck) rising star, the musician gave a praiseworthy performance of "Song for Zula" Tuesday night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, complete with conga drums and strings.
We kind of like it when our favorites collide. And that's certainly the case on this Tuesday, as Tegan & Sara unveil their new music video for "I Was A Fool," one of our favorite tracks off Heartthrob. The new set of visuals star one of our favorite actresses, Mae Whitman (Parenthood, Arrested Development), as she struggles to make sense of—and then overcome—a broken heart.
Pharrell took the stage at HTC’s One launch party on Friday, only hours after his new song with Daft Punk became publicly available for purchase in the United States. "Luckily" for those in attendance, the singer-producer would not disappoint, offering his first public performance of the much buzzed-about collaboration, "Get Lucky."
Miguel (kind of) shares the screen with Kendrick Lamar in the new video for their "How Many Drinks" remix, which was unveiled on Friday. The shiny Clark Jackson-directed visuals showcase a genuine comradery between the two artists, both of whom have seen their stars rise over the past year.

Her "Yung Rapunxel" single was one thing, but now Azealia Banks has a haunting new video to correspond. The Jam Sutton-directed visuals showcase a rebellious Banks rioting, fighting police and doing a fair amount of screaming. Beware: this new clip may cause night terrors. However, if you've been following her for a while now, this is just Ms. banks doing her thing.
The first teaser trailer for the forthcoming Hunger Games: Catching Fire film debuted Sunday during the MTV Movie Awards.
Frank Ocean on Friday revealed a new video for "Lost," off his 2012 debut channel ORANGE. The new set of visuals chronicle last summer's amazing rise leading up to—and following—the release of his Grammy-winning album. Fellow Odd Future member Tyler, the Creator also makes a cameo in the clip.
