Lollapalooza 2015: it came, it conquered, and it closed early. But not even Sunday's crappy, unpredictable weather could put a damper on the weekend’s festivities. Packed full of artists of every genre, Lolla brought us the latest and the legendary, once again proving that this monster of an event cannot be tamed or topped. From Friday to Sunday, Lolla-enthusiasts spent their days and nights trekking back and forth from stage to stage across the large and lovely Grant Park. Though my feet are broken and my body hates me, I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. But if you did, here’s a recap on my weekend in Lolla land.

Top Artists to See at Lollapalooza 2015

Alright cool kids it’s that time of the year we all look forward to - when summer actually feels like summer (for two weeks) and you can drink booze outside with a couple hundred thousand of your closest friends while Millennium Park is raging with some of the most epic and fresh artists to date for Chicago’s largest annual summer music festival, Lollapalooza.

Lolla is here to take over Chicago once again and it’s coming hard with some hugely stellar acts. Like every music festival ever, there are too many amazing artists to choose from and a few frustrating time-slot conflicts. But no worries, here are a few suggestions to make this weekend worth the heat, crowds, and money you spent on that expensive and lovely little wristband.

[Playlist of the Week] 10 Anticipated Albums for the Spring

The year started off with a bang when it came to record releases, but in the next coming months the saga of choice new albums will continue. While there are a bunch of anticipated records with TBA titles and release dates, these are the upcoming releases you have to get.

Which release are you looking forward to the most?

[Video Playlist of the Week] Girl Power

The first quarter of the year is coming to a close and the women of the music industry have been slaying the competition. With new releases from some of your favorite artists and some artists you should know, this week’s playlist is packed full of the latest jams. Girl power!

  1. Madonna - Living For Love

[youtube id="u9h7Teiyvc8" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]

The queen of pop has been doing massive PR work for her new album Rebel Heart. Just this week she wrapped up “Madonna Week” on Ellen and just released tickets for her upcoming tour (35 cities in the U.S.). While her album may have dropped this week, it’s worth the listen for fans to hear the queen of pop coming back to the top.

  1. Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do

[youtube id="AJtDXIazrMo" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]

Ellie Goulding gained some major publicity for this song, which appeared on the 50 Shades Of Grey soundtrack. While the movie was a total flop amongst critics, the song went straight to #1 in most countries and snagged the #3 spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

  1. Phoebe Ryan - Ignition / Do You… (R.Kelly / Miguel Cover)

[youtube id="BOMWNgejuPc" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]

Browsing through Spotify’s “Top Hits” playlist, I discovered Phoebe Ryan’s mashup of R.Kelly’s “Ignition” and Miguel’s “Do You…” which is adorable (if you can call a song adorable) as well as catchy. While she doesn’t have many other songs yet, I’m guessing she’ll be in the “Top Hits” playlist with another song soon.

  1. Charli XCX - Famous

[youtube id="5f5A4DnGtis" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]

Charli XCX just released her music video for “Famous” this week, which is directed by Eric Wareheim of Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! As a Tim & Eric fan myself, I was pretty pleased with the outcome. The video and song are “#LMFAO tite.”

  1. Marina And The Diamonds - Forget

[youtube id="17UL5ks9amY" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]

Marina And The Diamonds recently released her third album, FROOT, which has many critics fawning over her matured sound. A definite spring tune.

  1. Matt And Kim - Can You Blame Me

[youtube id="2L77nPwcMVs" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]

Matt And Kim are about to drop their fifth studio album, New Glow, on April 7, 2015, but their newest single “Can You Blame Me” is already out for your listening pleasure. Perk: in this version of the song (Kim version), you can put your device (mobile, tablet, iPad) up to your face so it’s like Kim is singing through you.

  1. Florence + The Machine - St. Jude

[youtube id="xEMSJf723BI" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]

The English songstress has released her first single this week from her upcoming album, How Big How Blue How Beautiful, which will be released June 1, 2015.

  1. Best Coast - Heaven Sent

[youtube id="EZQU30xaGxI" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]

FINALLY, Best Coast are putting together their new album, which is going to be released May 5, 2015. Thus far, if “Heaven Sent” and “California Nights” are indicators of how the album will sound, fans should get pumped (even Bill Murray is a fan). It seems Bethany Cosentino has been hard at work at something other than trying to get Drake to become her BFF.

  1. Oh Honey - Sugar, You

[youtube id="ptt8uRAdZns" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]

The two New York singers came together a couple of years ago to create Oh Honey, an alternative-pop band with acoustic flare. Their newest EP, Wish You Were Here, dropped this week via Fueled By Ramen. The band is still under the radar, but have been featured on Glee, Red Band Society and various commercials.

  1. Courtney Barnett - Pedestrian At Best

[youtube id="o-nr1nNC3ds" align="center" mode="normal" maxwidth="660"]

This Aussie has been getting quite the hype lately with the release of her debut album this week, Sometimes I Think And Sit And Sometimes I Just Sit, which is exceptional.
