• Mariah Carey, Madonna and TLC: The Longest Hot 100 Streaks of 1995

    TLC celebrated the beginning of its longest streak on the Hot 100 on this date 20 years ago, as "Waterfalls" topped the singles charts for seven weeks afterward. Now, the Hot 100 is different than the Billboard 200 in that it's rare for any one album to top the chart for more than a few weeks, while songs can rack up huge runs on their chart. For example, only two albums have been at no. 1 for more than one week during 2015 (Taylor Swift's 1989 and Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly), while Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" has ruled the Hot 100 for 14 weeks thus far (the other 14 weeks have been split between Swift and Wiz Khalifa). Five songs managed to stay at no. 1 for seven weeks or more during 1995...so at least 35 of the year's 52 weeks were owned by just five songs. Check out the playlist of '95's most popular tracks.

  • Review: Ariana Grande Covers Holiday Classic 'Last Christmas'

    It is a dangerous thing to tinker with a holiday classic, but Ariana Grande is a risk taker. Today (Nov. 19), the "Right There" singer released the first of her four Christmas singles, a reworking of Wham's 1984 trademark track "Last Christmas." Produced by Babyface and The Rascals, Grande took the basic framework and chorus of the original "Last Christmas" and built her own new song from its bones.
