Last month, we opened up a chance for one lucky listener and a friend to see Fun. live and meet them in Chicago. We're also giving the winner $500 to spend any way they want. Well, we've found our winner.

Carly Rae Jepsen is more than capable of writing and performing a pop hit by her lonesome — see the ever-ubiquitous ‘Call Me Maybe’ for proof — but she really likes working with other artists, too. She’s adding more to her roster, which already includes Owl City, Justin Bieber and Redfoo of LMFAO. Who’s up next?

Selena Gomez indicated that she was letting music simmer on the backburner while she focused on films, including the much-buzzed about ‘Spring Breakers,’ an edgy flick where she plays a co-ed who gets into some trouble. Turns out she is missing music and plans to start recording again sooner than later and she wants Fun. and her bestie Taylor Swift to be a part of her next album.

Following their smash performance at the MTV Movie Awards, Fun. delivers a strong video for ‘Some Nights,’ the second single off of their sophomore album of the same name. The video, directed by Anthony Mandler, is set during the Civil War, and starts off with a moment of intimacy between two young adults that is interrupted by battle.

Days after the passing of Beastie Boys‘ Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch, the music world (and beyond) is still reeling. The loss has inspired many musicians to cover songs by the rap trio, and now fun. has honored the late MC with a unique rendition of ‘Sabotage.’

Fun. is no longer the little band that could — it’s the little band that has. Thanks to a bit of help from ‘Glee,’ the group’s single, ‘We Are Young,’ has hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
