Out with the new and in with the, er, mature ? Billboard turned the usual year-end list mania over to its readers via polls that asked them to have their say in such categories as Best Awards Show Performance (the winners: Rihanna and Britney Spears at the Billboard Music Awards ), Best Festival Performance ( Coldplay at Glastonbury ), Hottest Couple ( Jay-Z and Beyonce ) and Biggest Controversy ( Amy Winehouse's death ). But the real eyebrow-raiser is the Most Overrated label being slapped on Lady Gaga. [...]
This week, the Top 10 on Billboard 's Top 200 album chart says goodbye to Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto and Rihanna's Talk That Talk (which drops out after only two weeks in the upper tier). Meanwhile, following his televised A Michael Buble Christmas special last week, Canadian crooner Michael Buble sees his Christmas LP increase its sales by a whopping 64% from the previous frame and maintain its #1 chart position on the strength of [...]
Sure, there have been a boatload of decent singles that made an impact both on the charts and in pop culture in 2011. But there were also plenty of outstanding tracks tucked away on your favorite pop artists' albums that never got their day in the sun. Sometimes it may seem like a no-brainer when choosing which track from an LP deserves an official single release — and sometimes artists and labels get it way wrong and overlook some of their best material. We've rounded up what we consider to be 10 [...]

When you think Brits and pop music, we have a feeling you think of Adele, who has dominated 2011 as one of the few artists out there almost everyone can agree to love. Thus it's only right that the picky beer drinker perform at the 2012 BRIT Awards, where, let's face it, she'll probably pick up a slew of awards too. After wowing the audience with "Someone Like You" last year, Adele will appear for the second year running — as will Rihanna, following up 2011's trio of Loud singles with her [...]
Part of me, frankly, doesn't give a damn. Because, frankly, the GRAMMYs become less significant with each passing year (for reasons detailed here ). But another part of me (the part that generally avoids using Gone with the Wind references and dreams of Rihanna one day being a GRAMMY queen) can't help but weigh in on the nominations that were announced on November 30. I've always thought that the GRAMMY nominations were more interesting for the snubs than for those recognized, and this year was no different. The [...]

Looks like the last gasp for the NBA season is going on in the desperate labor talks.

Coldplay lanciatissimi. La band inglese, una sola settimana dopo il loro ingresso ufficiale in classifica, è già padrona assoluta delle charts. L'album " Mylo Xyloto" , accompagnato dal singolo " Every teardrop is a waterfall" che trovate sopra, è ormai in testa in tutto il Continente. Un duetto col singolo di Rihanna ft Calvin Harris "We found love" , a sua volta padrone d'Europa. Sotto, tutti i numeri uno. SINGOLI AUSTRIA: Brenna tuat’s guat – Hubert von Goisern [...]
When "We Found Love" was initially released, some were underwhelmed and some fancied it. It was the first time a Rihanna single did not rush to the top of the iTunes chart. Fast forward and the official music video was released. The video did something magical and turned every listener who questioned the song into certified lovers of it. Just this past weekend it was a shock to see the crowd's reaction, in the club, when the song started playing. "We Found Love" bumped Adele's "Someone Like You" from the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 [...]
Adele's non-consecutive streak at #1 with 21 on Billboard 's Top 200 is interrupted once more, as Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto easily enters the chart at the peak position. The UK band's fifth studio album, which lands at #1 based on the strength of 447,000 copies sold in its first week, is now their third in a row to reach the summit of the Top 200. Meanwhile, over on the Hot 100 singles chart, Rihanna and Calvin Harris' "We Found Love" bumps Adele's "Someone Like You" off the [...]
Coldplay is the least popular Most Popular Band in the World of all time. There’s a long list of possible explanations, including but not limited to the ever-increasing diversification of pop music, hip-hop brainwashing teenage suburbanites into buying turntables instead of guitars, and of course, global warming. But the main one seems to be a general unwillingness for anyone to admit liking Coldplay even though everyone has “Clocks,” “Speed Of Sound,” and “Viva La Vida” on his or her iPod. I openly confess that I would never openly identify myself as a Coldplay [...]

L'album dei Coldplay " Mylo Xyloto" ha cominciato la scalata all'Europa issandosi in vetta alle classifiche già in diversi paesi e c'è da credere che nelle prossime settimane sarà ancora grande protagoniste. Tiene ancora Adele che sia con i singoli che con l'album " 21 " domina le classifiche anche da noi, come anche sono ancora sulla cresta dell'onda Rihanna e Calvin Harris. Sotto, i numeri uno. Sopra " I follow rivers " di Lykke Li. SINGOLI [...]
As Rihanna just guest starred on Mylo Xtylo cut “Princess of China”, it was time for Coldplay to return the favor. The Brits have covered Ri’s smash hit, “We Found Love”, and have broken it down to a swell, piano-fueled ballad. Of course recorded at BBC Radio 1.
It has become pretty much law that with every new Rihanna single, especially an uptempo one, world chart domination will be achieved and artists ranging from all aspects of the musical spectrum will then proceed to remake the song in their own genre-specific light. "We Found Love" , the pop princess' controversial video-accompanied latest effort, can check off both boxes now, already reaching either No. 1 or the Top Five in nearly twenty different countries so far, and in the past couple of days, seizing the boast factor of being the Live Lounge [...]
