I've heard of four of those. I'm old.

I would not recognise any of the songs. I have heard Royals becasue there have been items on the NZ news about Lorde. I recognise some of the names - Pink, Eminem and Justin Timberlake.
Then I am older :) and am very sad to hear of the death of one of the Everly Brothers. He was older than me (but not by much). They were one of the first pop stars with which I became infatuated as a youth. I actually bought 2 CDs of their songs a year or so ago. 'Cathy's Clown' and 'Dream" really brought goosebumps on the news last night.

It has been 25 years this week since Madonna's "Like A Prayer" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
;D
Feeling old?
"Like a Prayer" is a song recorded by the American singer Madonna for her 1989 studio album of the same name. Sire Records released it as the lead single from the album on March 3, 1989. Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, "Like a Prayer" denoted a more artistic and personal approach to songwriting for Madonna, who felt she needed to cater more to her adult audience.
The music video, directed by Mary Lambert, portrays Madonna as a witness to a murder of a black girl by white supremacists. While a black man is arrested for the murder, Madonna hides in a church for safety seeking strength to go forth as a witness. The clip depicts Catholic symbols such as stigmata, Ku Klux Klan-style cross burning, and a dream about kissing a black saint. After its release, the Vatican condemned the video, while family and religious groups protested its broadcast. They boycotted products by soft drink manufacturer Pepsi, which used the song for a commercial. Madonna's contract with Pepsi was then canceled, although she was allowed to retain her initial fee.

Got you beat. I don't know any of them. I'm really old.
Unless Lady Antebellum's Downtown is a cover of the great Petula Clark hit, which I doubt.
Taylor Swift has a lot of nerve calling someone else "Trouble."
And what does "ft." mean?

I'm guessing it's "featuring".
