VidZone update: Eminem, Lorde, Mark Ronson, David Guetta, more

On the first blog of Christmas my true love sent to me… December’s best new music videos and a Zone dedicated to the biggest DJ on the planet!

Read on for all the info and be sure to watch the latest Highlights trailer above to see what else is new.

Artist of the Week: Eminem, Calvin Harris, Hilltop Hoods

We couldn’t decide on one Artist Of The Week, so we picked three instead!

Starting with US hip-hop superstar Eminem – the Detroit rapper has just released Shady XV, a compilation in honour of his record label, Shady Records reaching its 15th Anniversary. So you can watch his brand new video for ‘Guts Over Fear’ featuring Aussie singer-songwriter Sia, as well as all of his previous hits and a selection of other Shady Records artists.

Calvin Harris has teamed up once again with British pop star Ellie Goulding on the massive new track ‘Outside’. It’s the fourth single to be taken from his new album, Motion and you can watch the brilliant music video now alongside all of his video catalogue in his Featured Playlist.

Australian hip-hop stars Hilltop Hoods may have been a group for 20 years but they’re still going strong with new album, Walking Under Stars reaching No. 1 and going platinum in their native country. You can watch the trio’s newest video for the Top 10 hit ‘Cosby Sweater’ as well as ‘Won’t Let You Down’ featuring Maverick Sabre now. And SCROLL DOWN for an awesome Hilltop Hoods Competition!

And here are the highlights from the hottest Zones…

Alternative Zone

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor or New Zealand breakout star Lorde as we all know her, curated the Official Soundtrack to one of the year’s most anticipated film’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1.
