And then there were two. KXT’s Anti-Love Song Bracket is down to its grand finale, a face-off between a pair of tunes which are decidedly not feeling the love. The top two vote getters were Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” and “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus — very different vibes (and eras!), but also strangely simpatico. Both songs feature a kind of “stiff upper lip” mentality, which makes them ideal for those who have no interest in moping about a broken heart.

January 27, 2025 by , , , and We’re down with love, as KXT’s Anti-Love Song Bracket rolls into its second week, and the field has been reduced to just eight songs. The remaining contenders run the gamut from ‘70s classics (Blondie’s “Heart of Glass”) to modern pop gems (Miley Cyrus, “Flowers,” Teddy Swims, “The Door”) and everything in between.

Ready to have your heart broken all over again? The time for whispered sweet nothings and gooey declarations of love, otherwise known as Valentine’s Day, is right around the corner. That means it’s time to bring back KXT’s Anti-Love Song Bracket. It’s probably not in keeping with the spirit of the thing to say we really loved — liked — winnowing down anthems of anguish in 2024, but hey, sometimes it feels good to feel bad, right?

It’s getting downright heated as we begin the third week of KXT’s inaugural Songs of Summer Bracket, a four-week competition to arrive at the most sizzling summer song of all.

Things are starting to heat up as we head into the second week of KXT’s inaugural Songs of Summer Bracket, a four-week competition to arrive at the most sizzling summer song of all. There were definitely some burns delivered in the first round of voting, as Sly and the Family Stone’s “Hot Fun in the Summertime” snuffed out Seals & Crofts’ “Summer Breeze,” Lana Del Rey triumphed over Kali Uchis, Mungo Jerry made quick work of Will Smith, and MGMT took out Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

Summer, the season of sunbathing, splashing in the pool and grilling out with friends and family — at least until it becomes too hot to form a thought outdoors — is not too far away. But what is summer without a soundtrack? Every year, there’s a flurry of prospects for the “songs of summer,” but KXT took a step back and thought: Instead of singling out what’s hot in 2024, what if we tried rounding up a piping hot playlist pulling from multiple decades?

Flowers, hearts, candy — the time for whispered sweet nothings and gooey declarations of love, otherwise known as Valentine’s Day, is right around the corner. But maybe you aren’t in a swooning mood this year, or you think public displays of affection are nauseating. If you’re not a fan of Valentine’s Day and the love songs which tend to fill the air about this time every year, KXT has your back.
