Will this be the last year-end list we see? Probably not, but hey, we're suckers for information about album sales , song streams , and the like. In this case, Billboard has released its information for the best-selling albums and digital singles of 2012. As the above photo gives away, Adele once again held it down with the top-selling album as 21 continued to dominate the charts. As for the singles, well, Gotye is the king there. Peep the lists below. Top Albums Of 2012 [...]
10. Justin Bieber - Boyfriend This little diddy messed up late 20 year olds for 6 months straight when at first glance they thought it was a Justin Timberlake song they were singing along to. Little did they know they were humming along to the leader of the bushwacka club, Justin Beleiber. Not to mention, the video, the Nsyncer ripoff was tops. Below is a little reminder of why we loved this track even though it annoyed us. Version #2 preferred [...]
Is it five years now? IDK, but here we go again. DJ Earworm dropped his latest and greatest load aka "United States of Pop 2012 (Shine Brighter)" edition, on everyones face this AM. I lurve it, minus the terrible Bruno Mars song. He makes my skin crawl. The rest is delicious. Check out the video below to accompany the mega-mash-up and click HERE to get a direct MP3 from his Sound Cloud page. [...]
Despite all the big-name performers and presenters, the MTV Video Music Awards on Thursdaywere generally underwhelming. There's usually a singular "goosie" experience (for instance, Adele last year) or an instant headline (the Kanye interruption). But this year there were no such capital-M Moments. That's not to say there weren't some truly enjoyable moments. Head below to catch what we singled out as our five favorite and five least favorite parts of the show. 5 [...]
By now you may have heard that the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards are taking place tomorrow night (Sep. 6) live from Los Angeles at 8 p.m. ET. We know what you're thinking: no way this year can live up to last year. The 2011 VMAs featured Lady Gaga 's gender-bending theatrics, Beyonce 's baby bump reveal, an interpretive dance tribute to Britney and oh yeah maybe you've heard of that singer Adele ? [...]
It seems like as soon as temperatures begin to top 70 degrees, everyone's got an opinion on what the song of the summer should be - Flavorpill included . And while no one loves a good critical conversation (or backyard bar argument) more than us, we're also curious about which track is actually getting the most play across the country. And while Billboard can't measure that exactly, they've gotten as close as we imagine anyone will get with their "Songs of the Summer" chart , a cumulative weekly ranking of Hot 100 singles between Memorial Day [...]
The ability to instantaneously access information has never been more easy than it is in today's technologically-advanced environment. The advent of web-based services like Google, or even Evernote for example, have all but eliminated the need from human memory use. Can't recall all four names of the Golden Girls? Google that shit. Have a lunch appointment this afternoon that you don't want to organically have to remember? Plug it into your online calendar, set a reminder and mentally retardate. Who remembers phone numbers anymore? No one. Everything is online and at our fingertips every waking moment of every single day. [...]
Despite debuting with his first Number One on the Top Albums chart with 77,000 copies, Adam Lambert 's album " Trespassing " is the lowest debut amount this year. It is the smallest sales total for a number one album since August 2011 when Adele's " 21 " sold 76,000 copies. It does however, replace fellow American Idol graduate Carrie Underwood , who falls to #3. Old School Metallic-Comedy act, Tenacious D 's " Rize Of The Fenix " debuts at #5 with 44,000 units sold. [...]
Not much to say, Carrie Underwear stays on top! Adele is still amazing. The End - Good Night. TOP TEN ALBUMS 1. CARRIE UNDERWOOD - BLOWN AWAY 119,524 // 267,338 // 387,118 2.

They say you learn something new every day, this is what I learned today: Jack White 's debut solo album, " Blunderbuss " enters at Number one. Shockingly to me, it is the first time he has reached the top of the chart, despite reaching the top 10 seven previous times as part of three different bands. His previous best peak was the #2 debut of the White Stripes' "Icky Thump" in 2007. Congrats brother man. Country music has two new additions to the top 10 this week, Lee Brice's " Hard 2 Love " [...]
It was a busy week on the pop scene, and yet some of the biggest stories had nothing to do with music. Kanye West made his love for Kim Kardashian official with some PDA (and some KW-style jewelery ), while Katy Perry celebrated a second week of Coachella with her new boyfriend . And let's not forget People falling head over heels for Beyonce , who they named the most [...]
It's true Lioness Richie is still topping these ten bitches! I know, I am shocked too! What can you do, good promos and TV spots, told ya. Anyway, maybe future baby daddy-avocado-tree-hugger Jason Mraz came all over the place to the top two position. Not too shabby either with 102+ K. His last record debuted at #3 and only sold 73K, so this is better right?! Right?! OK good he's happy! Adele is the Queen and everyone knows it. Who is Train ? Just kidding, I know who they [...]
Gotye The song is everywhere you turn, and now it's even at No. 1. Gotye 's "Somebody That I Used To Know" has taken over the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The track, featuring Kimbra , sold an astonishing 542,000 copies last week. The singer/songwriter can thank the exposure from a remake performed on last week's Glee , American Idol season 112s Elise Testone and Phillip Phillips dueting to the tune a day later, and his own performance of the track [...]
Outrageous , OH WHAT A FEELING, when you're dancing on the ceiling, said Lionel Richie this morning. I am shocked, but let's be honest this is the power of a TV special (the CBS special "ACM Presents: Lionel Richie & Friends in Concert" aired on Friday the 13th). We have seen it time and time again and its called synergy (look it up). Regardless of how he got to the top, this is awesome for him and the music industry. Its another wakeup call for everyone, THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! His Duets show starts in May on ABC, but [...]
Sometimes life actually happens and that was the case last week. I hadn't missed a "Friday Remixes" in quite a while, but without further adieu, FRIDAY REMIXES #124. I would like to thank all of you DJs and knob-turners a special thank you for sending me your takes on some of the most popular music out there. This series wouldn't exist without you guys. Holla! Lianne La Havas - Lost and Found (Gang Colours remix) Animal Heart “UN-Extraordinary Man” (The Dirty Tees Remix) AWOLNATION - [...]
Justin Bieber That first-ever No. 1 single continues to slip further from Justin Bieber 's grasp. In its second week on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, Bieber's new single, "Boyfriend," takes a tumble. The Mike Posner -produced track slip from 2-5 this week. It debuted huge, selling 521,000 copies, but that sum fell to 295,000 copies this week, Billboard reports . Radio play is getting stronger, so maybe Bieber can claim No. 1 with it someday. Never say never, right? Bieber will have to wait until songs by fun., [...]
Justin Bieber Justin Bieber 's new single, "Boyfriend," makes a big splash on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart this week. but it still wasn't enough to land him at No. 1. Bieber's Mike Posner -produced track debuts at No. 2 on the Hot 100, after selling a whopping 521,000 copies in its first week available, Billboard reports . That hefty sum gives "Boyfriend" the second highest-selling debut sales week of any single in Billboard history. (First place belongs to Flo Rida 's "Right Round" with 636,000 copies.) [...]
Nicki Minaj raggiunge il podio della classifica singoli britannica : alla quarta settimana di vendite Starships prosegue il trend in salita (+2) e agguanta la terza posizione. E' davvero un buon momento per la spavalda artista d'oltreoceano nel mercato del Regno Unito, visto che compare anche alla #10 col pezzo di David Guetta. E pazienza se, invece, la collaborazione con Madonna per Give Me All Your Luvin' ha miseramente fallito a queste stesse latitudini. Sono ben tre le nuove entrate in Top-ten: l'X-Factoriano Marcus Collins debutta alla #9 [...]
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe I remember Carly from all the way back during Canadian Idol. It's great to see her rack up a worldwide hit. The song's good, too. It's the kind of straight-up pop track that doesn't come along very often anymore. I'd argue that that's why it's been so successful. People want this kind of music back. A- Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know Speaking of massive worldwide hits, this is pretty much conquering the planet. And like [...]
