Saw the same piece you did, and I don't know anything more (e.g., don't know whether Sony's just capitalizing on the song or investing in the group long-term). Did notice that Chrome is intending to do a new video, which I think they need to — the official video doesn't do right by the dance formation, especially the piston jump (what is now getting called "The Straight Five Engine Dance").
