Harry Styles delivers a successful, enjoyable debut album with his highly anticipated, self-titled effort.

British boy band The Vamps and Matoma have a hit on their hands with “All Night,” a single from The Vamps’ upcoming album, ‘Night & Day.’

“Slow Hands” is a step up from “This Town,” But Niall Horan could stand to take even more risks artistically.

Following his sexy debut single “PARiS,” Cleveland-bred musician JOEY-A returns with a second, equally sexy single, “JUiCE.”

Katy Perry falls short of her typical glory on her sensual, second single, “Bon Appétit.” Despite being assisted by Migos, “Bon Appétit” lacks relevance.

DJ Khaled returns with another star-studded hit, “I’m the One” featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Wayne.

Up-and-coming pop artist and YouTube personality Alex Aiono returns with a second single, “Question,” from his forthcoming project.

Charlie Puth returns with “Attention,” presumably the promo single for his sophomore album. “Attention” is a step up, but Puth hasn’t conquered just yet.
