Top of the Pops [Newz]

Their brand of hopped-up power pop had the best hooks and melodies of this largely dreary night…

Thus spake the otherwise-uninspired New York Daily News’ music critic Jim Farber on the Zootopia main stage concert from Saturday night. It’s the big show put on by massive station Z100 out of New York City, and another notch on the Boys’ recent Top-40-radio-event belt.

What is it about praise that takes a swipe at others, that makes it that much sweeter? Sigh. I feel guilty about that, since I like some of the other artists, but whatever - the Boys are #1! Haha! And it needs to be recognized.

I’m so proud of them - especially considering they have more personal creative involvement in the composition of their music than many of the acts that shared their stage last night. Other performers throughout rest of said night included: Miley Cyrus, Sara Bareilles, Simple Plan, Gavin DeGraw, Ferras, OneRepublic, Jordin Sparks and the New Kids on the Block. Push Play played the parking lot with Miley Cyrus’ brother’s band, MetroStation (ooh, burn - hehe, oh I’m just kidding).

If you’re superfast, catch them still on the radio circuit tonight (Sunday, May 18 ) in Boston at 6pm - streaming live here!
