Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Why Don’t We, including former American Idol contestant Daniel Seavey (right), has two new singles out.

Riding the wave of their first hit single, the boy group Why Don’t We have released two new singles this summer.

Time will tell whether those songs will exceed the chart performance of “Trust Fund Baby,” which became a Top 30 hit on the Billboard pop chart.

But the music videos for “Hooked” and “Talk” are racking up some impressive numbers on YouTube.

“Talk,” released last week, has 4.7 million views in the three days since its release.

“Hooked,” out early last month, has 9.5 million views to date.

Why Don’t We features Jonah Marais, Corbyn Besson, Jack Avery, Zach Herron and Daniel Seavey, the ninth-place finisher on American Idol Season 14.

The group has big plans for the rest of 2018, including visits to South Korea, Singapore and Japan next month, followed by a visit to Australia, followed by a tour of Europe set for the fall.

They do have a few U.S. dates between now and the start of their worldwide jaunt, including the Show Of The Summer teen pop festival set for Aug. 4 in Hershey, Pa.

Performing along with Why Don’t We at that event will be Troye Sivan, Maggie Lindemann, Ayo and Teo, HRVY and Carlie Hanson. Head here for more information on the event.

Here are those two new singles.
