The Idolator Hype Index (Week Of 1.8.12)
Fri Jan 13 2012 by Robbie Daw
It's time to get in the habit of waking up on Friday morning, rubbing your bleary eyes and checking out our weekly Pop & Fizz chart, where we rank the top artists and headlines in pop music. This is the second week for the chart, so here’s a reminder on how it works: we rank each artist or major news story according to their size (that’s Rank) and then we weigh how they’re faring overall in the pop zeitgeist (that’s Hype). That’s why, for example, Justin Bieber — whose photos in V caused a retaliation by fans — ranks above relatively unknown (in the States) UK boy band The Wanted, who had an enviable intro to American audiences via Ellen DeGeneres.

Eliza Doolittle Talks To Us About Style, Kanye And Coachella
Tue Apr 19 2011 by Becky Bain
We already knew Eliza Doolittle knew how to get everybody bouncing — she was one of the performers at our Pray For Pop party at SXSW, after all. So it was no surprise to see the British pop gal make the fest-goers (and even the trees!) at Coachella shake it during her early afternoon set on Sunday.
To celebrate Ms. Doolittle's debut album finally being released in the U.S. today (stop by iTunes and pick it up, y'all!), we had a chit-chat with the "Rollerblades" singer after an autograph-signing outside the Gobi tent. She discussed the trials of making it big here in the States, her growing shoe collection and why she's "perving" on everyone at the music fest. Head below for our one-on-one with Eliza! More »

Foster The People’s Mark Foster Fawns Over Kanye West At Coachella
Tue Apr 19 2011 by Becky Bain
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Mark Foster was doing his own solo project for a few years before he and two friends, Mark Pontius and Cubbie Fink, joined forces to become Foster The People, one of the most buzzed about bands to take on Coachella 2011. (Check out pics from their Sunday afternoon set here.) The band, which draws comparisons to other dreamy indie oufits like MGMT and Passion Pit, formed in October 2009 and has been on a steady path to success ever since, thanks to the growing popularity of their chill-rock lead single, "Pumped Up Kicks", off their self-titled debut EP.
After the jump, check out our interview with Mark Foster, who told us what it means to play Coachella, why he owes a debt of gratitude to a German stranger he's never met, and why Kanye West is responsible for changing the way we consume pop music today. More »

Ellie Goulding’s Gift Is Her Song At Coachella (PHOTOS)
Mon Apr 18 2011 by Idolator Staff
Ellie Goulding brought her starry-eyed, folksy pop to Coachella’s Gobi tent, where she dazzled fans with euphoric, hand-crafted tunes from her debut album, Lights. The songstress later joined fellow UK sensation Tinie Tempah (who played immediately after her) to sing the hook on their collaboration “Wonderman”, but she included a tribute to another well-known Brit in her own set: she performed a lush rendition of Elton John’s “Your Song”. See our photos of the blonde beauty in action. More »
