Ava Max

From guest-ready essentials to holiday decor you can trust, Wayfair delivers.

Kygo and uh, Ava Max, uh, are teaming up again.

If you remember Whatever, you know exactly why I am so excited.

You are listening to Fresh On Deck, where we break down the music news that actually matters and dive into what everyone's saying about it.

So here is the news.

Kygo announced a new song called Before You Know It featuring Ava Max, and it's coming out this Friday, October 16.

A forum thread on Garda Daily first flagged a teaser about a week ago, and then a preview apparently appeared on YouTube a few days later, listed as provided by Kygo under license to Sony Music.

So this is a real release, and the date is on the calendar.

The video was crazy.

Big X The Plug and Ava Max dropped Burn.

They also got a video for that.

I think that's crazy.

Welcome to the DJ Top 30.

[risas] I'm Megz, back in the pilot seat of the countdown this week as Ava is taking some time off to celebrate her birthday.

So let's get things going.

Number thirty.

There's a world

You might have noticed that Ava used this song in one of her recent videos.

Well, her and everyone else.

Grand Theft Auto VI, which releases in a month and a week's time, not that I'm counting, has a song from Cardi B called Don't Chart that is out now.

We also have new songs released from artists like Big X the Plug with his song Burn alongside Ava Max, Greta Van Fleet, Offset, Grimes.

Paul McCartney's got the song Chelsea Boots, and there's just a whole lot of new songs releasing, and I love it here on Pop Radio.

[laughs] And then she says, "You too, bitch." And then she kicks Cortessa and she, like, goes flying, girl.

That's what I think when people say like Ch- Chappell can, like, kick babies, or I think about, uh, Ava Max.

I think about Chappell going like this.

[laughs]

Like, if you think about when Taylor Swift got canceled, she got canceled when the Snakegate thing happened three days after Calvin Harris dragged her on Twitter for the whole "this is what you came for" thing.

Three days.

So, and this was, like, two weeks before the Ava Max thing happened, girl, okay?

Mm.

And he said, "Oh, yeah, I'm working on Guetta's record right now.

I did Ava Max's record." I'm like, ooh.

Okay, wow.

[laughs]

I thought Ain't in L.A., I mean, it was pretty good, but I was talking with Todd in the Shadows, who's been on this podcast a bunch of times.

He brought up the name Ava Max in comparison to Adela.

And I think with just the one song, that's not an unfair comparison because it's the same sort of thing of her Calling back to Miley Cyrus, I didn't think it necessarily transcended that reference point on its own, and the same way that Ava Max would call back to Lady Gaga and stuff from that era.

It felt like a fun sort of reminder of the highs of that period, but it didn't necessarily feel like it was adding a ton to it.

As of Nicole Kidman, I'm convinced.
