A clip of the interview can be seen now, and in it, Adele admits recovery was tough because she wasn't allow [...]
We've shared our 2012 Grammy picks for Best New Artist , Song Of The Year and who we think will take all the Pop and Dance categories — now let's take a look at who's up for Record Of The Year. The nominees in this category are basically a mirror image of Song Of The Year, with Kanye West's "All Of The Lights" swapped with Katy Perry's mega-hit "Firework." Can Perry make the Recording Academy go ahh-ahh-ahh and triumph, or is the unstoppable force of Adele too big to beat? Head below for [...]

Sitting down with Anderson Cooper for a special that will air before the Grammys telecast, Adele described the onset of her condition, which forced her to have surgery on her vocal cords . "[It was] like someone put a [...]
Prosegue il processo di ricambio nella classifica album FIMI/GfK : anche oggi una manciata di nuove entrate rinnova i piani nobili, sono ben cinque in Top-20 . La più alta conquista addirittura il podio, ma partiamo come al solito dal basso con la panoramica per poi salire fino al vertice. Vi segnaliamo che la Top-10 è 'sgombra' da artisti reduci da talent-show. Non accadeva da parecchio, a suo modo è un "evento"; se lo godano i cosiddetti detrattori della categoria finchè possono. Perchè presto arriverà Sanremo e...la musica cambierà. [...]

Adele may still be the top diva on Billboard 's Top 200 album chart, but over on the Hot 100 she's been bumped off by Kelly Clarkson. The two Grammy nominees trade places as Adele's third 21 single "Set Fire To The Rain", which previously spent two weeks at #1, now cedes the peak position to Super Bowl singer Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" . This marks the American Idol winner's third chart-topper, following 2002's "A Moment Like This" and 2009's "My Life Would Suck Without You". [...]

Last year, Lady Antebellum won this category (as well as Record Of The Year) for "Need You Now". Is Adele destined to land the same one-two punch with "Rolling In The Deep"? Or will one of the other nominees score an upset? Hop below for our thoughts — and let your voice be heard in our Grammy poll! [...]
Lana Del Rey It's been a tough few weeks for newcomer Lana Del Rey . She's received some of the worst press ever after a now infamously shaky Saturday Night Live debut performance. Her performance on the Billboard 200 albums chart, however, is remarkably more solid. The New York-bred singer/songwriter's new album, Born To Die , exceeds expectations after selling 77,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan as reported by Billboard.com. The sum is enough for her major label debut to land at No. 2 on the main albums chart. [...]
Kelly Clarkson - Getty Adele has been burning up the charts for the past two weeks with her single, "Set Fire To The Rain," but this week, Kelly Clarkson is simply "Stronger." Video: Kelly Clarkson Performs National Anthem At Super Bowl XLVI: Giants Vs.

With Adele's 21 in the peak position on Billboard 's Top 200 for a 19th non-consecutive week, the album is just seven days shy of tying the 20-week run at #1 by the soundtrack to 1992 film The Bodyguard — i.e. the most recent album to have a lengthier run atop the chart. 21 sold another 122,000 copies last week, and the Grammy Album Of The Year nominee will likely see a boost in sales after this Sunday's ceremony.

So far 2012 has started out as probably the most Vacayrific year to date. Since moving out to San Francisco I've met a lot of awesome people and tapped into an extremely interesting and growing music scene. There's something about the bay area that is very unique and refreshing and I have fallen in love. Let's hope the rest of 2012 continues on its current path to Vacay glory. I have no doubt it will. -Whiteface Nicky Romero is set to probably have one of the best years of his life. [...]

In a very unfortunate way, it's likely you've heard the venerable Chris Dave without realizing you have heard him. If you check the liner notes, he's been included on works by Adele , Mos Def , Robert Glasper , Lupe Fiasco , MF Doom and Kanye West . Touted by Questlove as "the most dangerous drummer alive" who "is totally reinventing just what you can do with drums", Dave has been compared to everyone from Tony Allen (arguably one of the greatest drummers to ever live, says Brian Eno ) to [...]
