Friday random ten: New music for the girls in 2015

And of course, Olivia and Audrey asked for new music last year. Not quite as much as in 2014, thanks to Olivia’s newfound love of Spotify, but still. We put the music they like (along with plenty of music I like; I’m no fool) on the hard drive for our car’s stereo system, so that’s an extra value for downloads. Here’s some of what they got in 2015:

1. Umbrella – Rihanna
2. Since U Been Gone – Kelly Clarkson
3. Jealous – Nick Jonas
4. That’s How We Do – from “Teen Beach 2”
5. Worth It – Fifth Harmony
6. The Heart Wants What It Wants – Selena Gomez
7. Geronimo – Sheppard
8. Starships – Pentatonix
9. Me And My Broken Heart – Rixton
10. Shut Up And Dance – Walk The Moon

There are a few names that come up regularly for them – Pentatonix, Jessie J, Fifth Harmony, Kelly Clarkson among them – and a few hits from acts that may or may not ever be known for something else. Walk The Moon did an a capella version of the Star Spangled Banner before a football game I happened to be watching this season; I recognized their name and scored some points by calling the girls over to see them do it. I should note that after last year’s Katy Perry extravaganza, the girls were nonplussed to hear that Coldplay was doing the Super Bowl halftime. “They’re good,” Olivia said “but I don’t know that they’re Super Bowl 50 good.” The kid has a future in music criticism, methinks. The news that Beyonce would also be performing was met with much greater enthusiasm, which means they’ll probably deign to watch. It won’t be the same without Left Shark, though.
