Warner Music haven't signed an agreement with Vevo yet, so all of their artists - such as Charli - upload videos through their own channels.
-
According to ASCAP, Charli's Boyfriend Material actually went to Bella Thorne.

Does anyone have the new Chad + Paul pics from the album sampler videos in HQ?

Tanika is a singer-songwriter from London, United Kingdom. Coincidence had brought her to sing a hook as a favour on a track in the now-legendary studio where Naughty Boy, Maiday and others were all grinding out their tracks without reward – yet. She impressed people, found new management in New York, and was so certain she’d found her path she immediately quit her job – without any promise of a label or money, just on a feeling. 18 months later she was signed for publishing, having been “broke as hell and grinding it out with a son, but I knew something was coming. It was a good hell though – on the creative side and the music side, and all the new friends I met. The dreams got bigger the more I believed in myself.” Four years followed of writing and recording in the big studio they all “basically lived in”. Sessions might start “hungover because I was two hours late and a complete mess,” having been out and not slept, but from that feeling that “I’m not good, I am gonna sleep with you and not care” she’d find the incredible ‘Bad for You’. When she met (Wretch’s number 1 ‘Don’t Go’ co-writer) Maiday for the first time in the studio, Tanika and Naughty Boy were drinking Grey Goose at 1 in the afternoon. Despite the terrible first impression, Tanika’s gift for writing a lyric and a hook brought about first single proper ‘Nine’ that same session. It’s obviously been an intense four years to get herself together: after the writing came work on her performance: “literally studio, gym, studio, gym, mothering,” and repeat. And then, it all clicked: a showcase, signed, and now she’s ready. Her mixtape Thoughts of Love shows what she’s all about: a life-forged popstar who knows what’s worthwhile and is here to soundtrack our loves and losses. As the title track of that mixtape shows, she’s a very modern sounding star, plugged into the dark vibes of the Weeknd and Drake; then on ‘Casualty’ teaching Rihanna how to really be a bad girl. “There’s no bravado – there’s just me singing and trying to make you feel good and believe that you can get through any door you want. My excitement now comes after a gig when people come up to me, when you know that something you actually wrote, which is such a self-indulgent thing, has just hit someone else.” She’ll keep writing, not worried about the past, excited about what’s next. You can listen to her new EP "Fucking with My Heart" (out Sunday) here: http://soundcloud.com/iamtanika/sets/tanika-fucking-with-my-heart/s-aAzsZ

This one? Do you have the original pic?

The HOH lyric video uses different vocals, and the Shaking Heads pre-order version is longer than the one on iTunes at the moment.

Kiesza is a Canadian singer from Calgary who has most recently worked out of New York City and London. When she was 16 she took part in the Sail and Lifetime Training Society (SALTS) program and a year later she joined the Royal Canadian Navy along with her brother, with which she became a code breaker. Whilst at that, she also entered the Miss Universe Canada pageant. She attributes her time in the Navy as a reason why, in 2008, she gave away 4,500 CDs to Canadian troops serving in Afghanistan. Kiesza took part in the Young Canadians, performing tap and jazz dancing, as well as theatre. When Kiesza was 18, she says that her parents' divorce caused her to write her first song, as a way of expressing her feelings. The same year, she heard a song of hers played on the radio. In February 2014 Kiesza released the video for her new single Hideaway through the indie label "Lokal Legend". Idolator considered it unique, for having a single take through the entire video, as Kiesza walked through the streets of Brooklyn. John Gentile of Rolling Stone called the style "impressive". Kiesza reported to Rolling Stone that she had trouble making the video, partly because she broke a rib just before filming, and "couldn't move for an entire month afterward." The song was released in the UK in April, and debuted at the top of the charts. Giant In My Heart followed, and also reached the top 5. Her debut major label album, Sound of a Woman, will be released October 21st in the US, and November 17th in the UK. DISCOGRAPHY

New press photos (click for UHQ): Also, the radio edit of HOH is basically what we have, except the intro's shortened and the extra "but I need you tonight" in the first verse is also removed.

Which channel? I can't see anything on her Vevo page, but I'm assuming they're just the 3 remixes.
