Plus the most revealing (read: hilarious) Ross O'Carroll-Kelly interview you'll find anywhere.
Hot Press goes POP this fortnight as we catch up with some of music's highest charting stars.
They don't come much bigger than Mark Ronson at the moment. His 'Uptown Funk' chart-topper with Bruno Mars is the biggest song on the planet right now, so it's a great time to talk to the super-producer about creating that massive hit. Also on the agenda? Amy Winehouse, Nile Rodgers, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney and more.
On top of that, Louis Walsh selects his Greatest Pop Songs Of All Time, while Dublin's Ruth-Anne Cunningham, who has penned hits for the likes of Britney, Jojo and recently One Direction, talks about the most important tunes of her career to date.
The Saturdays' Una Foden talks to Craig Fitzpatrick about her struggles in the industry, women in pop and family life – she gave birth to her second child a mere week after the interview!
Elsewhere, we chat to Gavin James, fresh from inking a massive deal with Capitol, Richie Egan, who is back with a remarkable new Jape album, extremely popular new duo Hudson Taylor, Mundy, Wyvern Lingo and many, many more.
The Hot Press Interview is a particularly memorable one, as Olaf Tyaransen props up a bar with Ross O'Carroll-Kelly. No, really.
In sport, rugby star Robbie Henshaw discusses Ireland's Six Nations chances.
Add reviews of new albums from the likes of Bjork and Bob Dylan, and a whole lot more, and you have a mighty a fortnight's worth of great reading.
