Keith Urban and Eric Church collaborated on "Raise 'Em Up" while Tim McGraw brought in his wife, Faith Hill, for "Meanwhile Back at Mama's." Then there's the power duo of Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood on "Somethin' Bad." But the two big contenders here are Little Big Town and The Band Perry.

  • Luke Bryan Caring for Orphaned Nephew Following Death of Brother-in-Law

    Luke Bryan seems like a pretty nice guy. He has the whole good ol' boy vibe going for him, but he is also truly dedicated to his family. Last year, the country star missed the CMT Artists of the Year ceremony due to the death of his brother-in-law Ben Lee Cheshire.

  • 'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: Hollywood

    Hollywood week is here, and we're stoked about it. We know you are too.

One missed opportunity in Hollywood could mean the end of the line though.

  • Grammys 2015 Best Rock Album, Who Should & Will Win

    The Best Rock Album category isn't normally a big deal at the Grammys, which is really a celebration of everything pop. This year is a different story, though. U2 is up for the award thanks to their September release, Songs of Innocence, or better known as That One They Gave Away for Free. The Irish band caught a fair amount of criticism from iTunes users and fellow musicians when the album magically appeared in their digital libraries. That will be the big storyline going into Sunday for the Rock Album category rather than the fact that Ryan Adams, Beck, The Black Keys and Tom Petty all had spectacular titles to their credit in 2014.

  • Morrissey Cancels Iceland Gig: Venue Serves Meat, Won't Stop

    Morrissey recently canceled a gig in Iceland because the venue he was scheduled to perform at sold meat, and it was not going to stop because the former Smiths singer was in town. The outspoken vegetarian and animal rights activist informed fans on the website True to You, where he generally posts all updates Moz-related -- and there has been plenty in the past few months. Because the Harpa Concert Hall refused to sell only vegetarian food and no other concert venues were available, the singer skipped Iceland on his tour.
