Le classifiche di Billboard registrate tra il febbraio 2012 e il febbraio 2013 premiano su tutti tre artisti: sono infatti re delle nomination, con 11 categorie a testa, la cantante country e fidanzatina d'America Taylor Swift , i veterani Maroon 5 e i nuovissimi Fun , vera rivelazione dell'estate scorsa. Per il resto, anche i Billboard Music Awards non presentano chissà quali novità: i tre leader delle nomination sono tallonati da Rihanna (a quota 10), Carly Rae Jepsen (a quota 9) e gli One Direction (fermi a 8).

Ecco nel dettaglio vincitori e nominati. ARTISTA BRITANNICO MASCHILE DELL'ANNO: Ben Howard (nominati: Calvin Harris, Olly Murs, Plan B, Richard Hawley) [...]
We saw all the big-name arrivals across the pond at the BRIT Awards, but now for the actual hardware! Last year Adele and Ed Sheeran cleaned up , and this year it was another male-female duo dominating, with Emeli Sande and Ben Howard both winning two awards. "This is a dream, really," Sande said when accepting her Album of the Year prize. Otherwise, the Brits renewed their undying love for Lana Del Rey by giving her another trophy this year. Adele and Coldplay also [...]

La pregunta se hizo a dos mil personas y la mayoría respondió que la artista británica que no para de vender y romperla con cada lanzamiento.

Recently, America has seen an influx of British pop artists propping up the top ten spots of the charts. This musical invasion by the Brits now contributes to 1/8 of all album sales. Many explanations have been bounced around trying to speculate the reason for the sudden surge of interest in British bands, from the abundance of UK talent shows to the accessibility the Internet provides for musicians and groups. Whatever the cause, here is a collection of the most impressive British artists and the awards for which we may see some nominations this year. [...]
Shown Above: Tom and Jason of Western Scene Holy mackerel, I’m back! No, I didn’t fall down the rabbit hole or get locked up (despite the rumors). I just took a little vacay. Rest assured that I wasn’t comfortably resting my laurels either. No, no, mother hen was hard at work to provide her little chickens with the musical nutrition they’ve been craving. But I guess I owe you an apology for my disappearance anyway, so I’m sorry. Not good enough? What if I grovel a little? Please, please, please forgive me! [...]

When Amy Winehouse died on July 23, 2011, at the age of 27, some called the tragedy “ unavoidable ”. Whether or not you agreed with that particular sentiment, you can't deny that on that day one year ago, music lost one of the most unique and soulful voices of our time. Russell Brand said it best in his tribute to his late friend : “Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now irrelevant. It is not preventable today.” Then the industry gathered to collectively grieve in the manner [...]

Did You Hear? :: Looks like Coldplay is the next band to go animated . The group behind " Princess of China " have ventured into the world of comic books, announcing the launch of a six-part series based on its most recent album, Mylo Xyloto . [ Consequence of Sound ] :: Adele is WAY more pregnant than we thought, allegedly. Not even two weeks have passed since the chart-topping songstress announced her pregnancy , but new reports suggest [...]
Coming To Die - Kanye West vs Lana Del Rey - Carlos Serrano Mix - Click to download Carlos Serrano absolutely kills this mashup/remix of Lana Del Rey and Kanye West (also featuring Adele and Coldplay). If you don’t know who Carlos Serrano is… You’ve been missing out. This dude from San Diego has been on the blog frequently and he gets it in. Much respect.

As a general rule, unless it involves a fierce ruling diva from the '90s wailing over a kick-ass beat, I can probably live without the remix of any given song. That goes double for extended mixes, most alternate takes and artists' brand new versions of their golden oldies that are better left alone. It's the main reason why I nearly wrote off Kate Bush last year when she ruthlessly marred two of my favorite albums by her -- 1989's The Sensual World and 1993's The Red Shoes -- with her Director's Cut , 11 reworkings [...]

LMFAO - Billboard Adele ruled the Billboard charts this year, so it's not at all surprising to see her clean up at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards.

I want a recount, says Adele ... Some old dude just out sold her by 1,000 units. Oh well, it'll last only one week & at least there are some balls involved in the title... 1. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - WRECKING BALL (195,974 // DEBUT) 2. ADELE - 21 (194,643 // 246,529 // 8,090,330) 3. VARIOUS- NOW 41 (152,347 // 45,548 // 487,628) 4.

UK breakbeats duo Stanton Warriors have hit a universal funny bone with their take on the Brit Awards. In their latest funny rant they spoke of fashion faux pas, speeches being cut short and a super "high" celebrity "Wasn't very impressed with the Brit Awards last night. Not only was Adele cut short by James Corden (who was a rubbish host anyway) she also had Sid Owen sat at her table which just seems wrong somehow. One Direction should had been at home in bed and Coldplay had stupid painted [...]

Ed Sheeran is still the man of the moment and he stepped up and gave a great performance of ‘ Lego House [...]

Though the big winner of the 2012 BRIT Awards was clearly Adele's middle finger , the 21 singer and Ed Sheeran walked away with the most awards, with two each. Coldplay took home Best British Group, Bruno Mars scored International Male Solo Artist, and Lana Del Rey nabbed International Breakthrough Act. While accepting her award for International Female Solo Artist, Rihanna thanked all her fans "who continue to support me no matter what... at times when I feel misunderstood, my fans always remind me that it's okay to be myself." (Is it just us, or [...]

Adele's middle finger wasn't the only entertaining moment of the 2012 BRIT Awards (though it's our personal favorite). The awards show, held at the O2 Arena in London, featured many great performances — as well as tributes to departed music icons Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse. Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Florence + The Machine and Adele all gave stirring live sets, while Rihanna, who reportedly pulled an all-nighter for her birthday celebrations, let her backing vocals do most of the work during "We Found Love." Watch the performances below. [...]

The 2012 Brit Awards took place this evening in London and, like most award shows these days, the performances clearly overshadow the actual getting of awards. This was no different as Blur took the stage for the first time in three years and performed a 12-minute set that included "Song 2," "Girls and Boys," "Parklife," "Tender" and "This Is A Low." Check out some of Blur's performance down below. Other artists that took the stage included Coldplay performing their new single, "Charlie Brown;" Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds playing "AKA What A Life!," Florence + [...]
