• Taylor Swift Shares Adorable Text Conversation with Ed Sheeran

    Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran may be known for their earnest, heartfelt and introspective lyrics, but that doesn't mean that always translates to text.

  • Wiz Khalifa ‘See You Again’ Leads Hot 100 Beating Fetty Wap, Jason Derulo

    The Fast and the Furious franchise cannot be stopped, and seemingly neither can Wiz Khalifa's new song "See You Again." For the third week in a row, the soundtrack single has topped the Billboard Hot 100, ahead of hits from Mark Ronson, The Weeknd and Fetty Wap. Meanwhile, Jason Derulo has notched another top 10 hit with his Everything Is 4 single "Want to Want Me."
  • Alabama Shakes and 'Sound & Color' Becomes First Independent Release Atop Billboard 200 during 2015

    Alabama Shakes and 'Sound & Color' brought an air of independence to the Billboard 200 this week, as the album became the first independent label (ATO) release to top the charts during 2015. It was easily the band's bestselling week ever, moving 96,000 equivalent copies during its first week. Yet it seemed almost inevitable: The band got to no. 6 with its previous release, 'Boys & Girls', but nearly a year after it debuted. Listeners caught on to the band just a hair too late, and made up for it this time around.
  • 'Handwritten' and Shawn Mendes Youngest Performer Since Justin Bieber to Top Billboard 200

    We may be witnessing the emergence of the next big young superstar as Shawn Mendes topped the Billboard 200 this week with his debut LP Handwritten. He becomes the youngest performer to top the chart since 2010, when Justin Bieber also did it at the age of 16 (albeit six months younger than Mendes). What makes Mendes' accomplishment more impressive is that he did so without a single on the Billboard charts, drawing almost entirely from hype built as a Vine star (and as an opener for Taylor Swift on tour). He moved 119,000 copies of his debut.
  • Ed Sheeran Wants to Be on 'Game of Thrones' Season Six After Receiving Jon Snow's Sword

    Ed Sheeran is a big Game of Thrones fan - anyone who saw the glee on his face when he was gifted Jon Snow's sword knows that. But, the "Thinking Out Loud" singer doesn't just want to watch the epic HBO show; he wants to be a guest star. In a new interview, Sheeran revealed that he is going to "hound" the people behind Game of Thrones until he can appear on screen.
  • 'Furious 7' Tops Billboard 200 Thanks to Wiz Khalifa; Taylor Swift Sets Mark and All Time Low Hits All Time High

    If you've watched Fast Five, you know that Vin Diesel's character Dominic Toretto knows that it's all about how you finish, not how you begin (although he allows Paul Walker's Brian to win the four-man street race in Brazil). The Furious 7 soundtrack is living that philosophy as it reached the no. 1 place on the Billboard 200 four weeks after its release. Part of last week's 111,000 equivalent album sales is thanks to the film's continued success at the box office, but an even bigger part of it is the popularity of "See You Again," the single from Wiz Khalifa that's tearing up the download charts. All Time Low and Taylor Swift place well as well.
