Anne Hathaway Calls These Madonna & Britney Spears Hits the ‘Ultimate Pop Songs’


Anne Hathaway says that Madonna and Britney Spears have the "ultimate pop songs." See what else she told Billboard at the 'Idea of You' NYC premiere.

In The Idea of You, Anne Hathaway stars as Solène, a 40-year-old mom who, despite knowing little about boy bands aside from what her teenage daughter tells her, falls in love with the 24-year-old Harry Styles-esque lead singer of pop quintet August Moon, Hayes Campell (played by Nicholas Galitzine). Based on Robinne Lee’s 2017 novel of the same name, The Idea of You has been generating buzz from the moment its trailer dropped in March, thanks to its undeniable real-life parallels to Harry Styles and One Direction (and it probably won’t die down any time soon once the internet gets a hold of Hathaway and Galitzine’s steamier scenes). Executive music producer Savan Kotecha was also very careful to treat August Moon as if it it were a real act, he tells Billboard, composing a body of work that sounded as if it had evolved alongside the band’s growing career for years.
