"Thank you so much, thank you," the 23-year-old singer said through tears as she accepted her Album Of The Year prize for her multi-platinum sophomore effort, 21 , before thanking her mother and producer Rick Rubin . "This record [...]

It's easy to feel over-fatigued from award shows right now. They all sort of bump into one another at the same time. Though, given that the Oscars dropped the ball, skipping a handful of solid releases and performances, and that the Grammys still feel like, "one giant industry jerk-off where the ones who pushed the most quantity are rewarded for quality," as Alex Young put it so eloquently last year, who in their right mind cares? Well, America does. If Twitter is any indication, millions of people still tune in and actually gripe about the wins and losses; [...]

Los Angeles' Staples Center is where the 54th Grammy Awards will go down this Sunday. The CBS telecast kicks off at 8 p.m. EST, and the thought on everyone's mind is likely this: just how many statues is Britain's not-so-secret weapon Adele going to jet back to London with? Plus, will Grammy give the gift of a posthumous award to the late Amy Winehouse, who's up for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (with Tony Bennett)? Will this be the year Skrillex becomes a household name ? Also, will Chris Brown and Rihanna bump into each [...]

For as long as there have been music awards, there have been musicians with opinions about those music awards, and the Grammys are no exception. Depending on your point of view, Arcade Fire trumping commercial heavyweights Lady Gaga, Eminem and Katy Perry for Album of the Year at last year's ceremony was either the event's salvation or the moment it jumped the shark. That polarizing victory reignited a decades-old debate about the relevance and future direction of the awards show. Grammy nominees — and Grammy wannabes — have long argued over whether [...]

We've shared our 2012 Grammy predictions for Best New Artist and all the Pop categories , and today it's time to move on to one of the big ones - Song Of The Year. 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! [...]

Adele and Jessie J are the leading ladies at this year's BRIT Awards after nabbing three nominations apiece, while 20-year-old Halifax, West Yorkshire native Ed Sheeran got the most nods of all, with four.

Following on (belatedly) from Eclectic Eavesdroppings Favourite Albums of the year, here are my Favourite Songs of 2011 . Compressing the musical year into a mere twenty-five songs is a tough task for a music junkie like myself. Listing the songs in order of preference is near impossible. But either way, I’ve done my best to get a list together and even though it’s incredibly subjective, it sums up a very good year in music.

Almost none of us are at work this week, so almost none of us are getting fired. And with the holidays coming to an end, we don't have to keep the good-cheer veneer up for much longer. So: Time to wade into some of the past year's sickest shit! When she wrote her list last year, departed Stereogum comrade Jessica wrote that 20092s NSFW clips trended away from joyous, vaguely innocent sexploits toward darker, more disturbing fare. 2011 continues that progression in a more extreme and possibly more unwanted direction: Away from sex entirely, toward [...]

As we've reported over the last few weeks, 2011 saw the release of plenty of great music. Luckily, in a year with so many great releases, we also had the opportunity to see plenty of great shows. From arena blow outs to dive bar ragers, the following are the 13 best live performances I saw the last 12 months. 1/15: Punch Brothers @ Bowery Ballroom (NYC) Punch Brothers are arguably the most talented touring band today, and their mid-January Bowery Ballroom performance did not dissapoint. Billed as one of their famed "P-Bingo" Nights, Punch [...]

People love lists. Particularly "best of the year" lists. There's something about putting a quantitative ranking next to a collection of the year's entertainment - the people need to know how things match up against each other. To be honest, I was dreading the creation of these rankings. It's borderline impossible for me to take two albums of completely different genres and try to justify how one is better than the other. In the process though, you re-discover albums from earlier in the year that you loved, but didn't quite give enough time to. This is the summation of that [...]
