Makeovers in music

There's nothing like a wardrobe transformation to boost flagging sales. Discover the musicians who went from daggy to sexy, seemingly overnight.

Nelly Furtado's new album unleashed a side of her the world hadn't seen. Along with the sexy sounds of Promiscuous came sexy promo shots and a wardrobe of short, glamorous dresses that pronounced a new Nelly. She wasn't the first and won't be the last to realise that sex sells. Hilary Duff, Joss Stone and Amy Winehouse all recently came out with radical new looks between album releases.

Woah! Backstreet Boys' call new single 'Permanent Stain' (oh no they didn't?!) MusicFIX Blog by Yasmin Vought May 16 2013 1:38PM

The Backstreet Boys premiered their new single on ABC's Good Morning America today and the title is so awkward! Watch the performance here.

'Permanent Stain' is the debut single from the band's latest studio album In a World Like This to be released on July 30.

But what is with that title? It sounds, well, pretty unsavoury.

Perhaps they gained inspiration from Johhny Cash's 'I've Been Flushed From the Bathroom of Your Heart'.

Have you heard a song title that made you squirm? Tell us what it was below.

WATCH: The Wanted play snog, marry or avoid with TheFIX. Guess which A Lister they turned down! MusicFIX Blog by Amy Nelmes May 16 2013 12:27PM

The Wanted have been causing a stir since touching down in Australia, appearing on The Voice and being hunted down by hoards of devoted female fans.

So, naturally, TheFIX wanted a slice of the action. While we didn't chase them down the street and throw our knickers at them, we did organise a fan meet and greet.

Fifteen of the band's biggest fans got up, close and personal with the cheeky guys and TheFIX also fired off a series of fast questions called "The Quick Six".

Want to know how to get a date with band members Siva Kaneswaran and Max George? Check out our vid.
