No. 6: "Come and Get It" Selena Gomez As big a star as she is (with or without Justin Bieber as her arm candy), I'm surprised that it's taken Gomez this long to finally score herself a Top 10 hit. I've heard far worse (like her 2011 single "Love You Like a Love Song," which spent forever on the Hot 100 without ever rising above No. 22), but I wish it didn't sound so much like a cold leftover from the recording sessions for Rihanna's first album. No. 11: [...]
What do Beyonce , One Direction, Kanye West, Ke$ha, Jay-Z, Bruno Mars, Usher, Tim McGraw, Pearl Jam, No Doubt and Gotye have in common? They're all richer than you! Also, they're all part of the new Global Citizen Tickets Initiative, a new project designed to incite social activism by offering people free concert tickets. Billboard reports that the campaign, created by the Global Poverty Project, allows ordinary people (just like you and me!) to take a "variety of social actions... to earn points they can use to win free tickets [...]

Folk singer Sam Amidon will make his Nonesuch Records debut on May 14th with Bright Sunny South , not long before he makes a stop in Philadelphia for a show at Johnny Brenda's . South falls in line behind the Vermont native's 2010 album I See the Sign and includes a pair of covers (Mariah Carey's " Shake It Off " and Tim McGraw's " My Old Friend ") alongside shape-note hymns and other traditional compositions. Amidon requested the production assistance of his long-time cohort Thomas "Doveman" Bartlett who, [...]

There's an old episode of The Golden Girls in which Blanche is trying to gain membership into the United Daughters of the Confederacy. While doing research on her family tree, Dorothy discovers that one of Blanche's ancestors was Jewish (surname: Feldman), which would immediately bar her from getting into the group. Laughter and a few vaguely offensive jokes about Jews ensue. Dorothy and the show go to great lengths to highlight the lunacy of Blanche's wanting to be a part of such an exclusionary group, but neither so much as broaches the idea of just [...]

So, when you think Tim McGraw , what do you think of? Down the road, it'll probably be the just-leaked McGraw collaboration with Taylor Swift and Keith Urban, "Highway Don't Care," a swoony country midtempo with a soaring chorus. Both crooners sound twangy and emotive, but it's Swift's vocals that really shine: They're breathy, light and airier than anything on Red . It's a lot of country wattage for one song, but together, they carry it effectively; whether or not it'll catch on at pop radio remains to be seen, but after the [...]
Country music has always mystified me. On the one hand, the songs always seem to focus on alcohol, failed relationships, and poverty - subjects that have spawned fantastic art for years. On the o... Continue reading "Tim McGraw Gets Sober, Kills Only Chance of Revitalizing Country Music" >

With his new album, R.E.D. , hitting store shelves in a month, Ne-Yo has released the set's album cover and tracklisting. The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter handles most of the 13 tracks on the album solo, but he does have a couple collaborations, including Wiz Khalifa on the current single, "Don't Make Em Like You," and Tim McGraw (yes, Tim McGraw!) on "She Is."
