• Daft Punk and Lorde Carry Pop Music Flag at Grammys

    Two acts dominated the pop categories at the 2014 Grammys, and they weren't necessarily the ones you expected. The best-selling single of the year, "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke, couldn't grab a trophy despite three nominations. The best-selling album of the year, The 20/20 Experience by Justin Timberlake, took home Best R&B Performance for "Pusher Love Girl" but fell flat for both of its Pop genre nominations. Daft Punk and Lorde weren't exactly surprise winners, but they ended the night the most decorated of the pop artists in attendance.

  • Bruce Springsteen and Kidz Bop Give 'Frozen' Soundtrack Competition

    Ah...the smell of new things is in the air. No, we're not talking about Spring. Sorry. It will stay cold for a while but at least we'll have new music to listen to in the meantime! Four of the albums in this week's Billboard Top 10 are new releases, including a new no. 1.

  • 'Frozen' Soundtrack Tops Billboard 200 for Second Week

    This week served as another chance for 2013's biggest hits to spend another week in the Billboard Top 10 as only one new release managed to crack into the upper ranks of album sales. The albums that stuck around managed to make some marks however.

  • Lorde Rejects Your Cutesy Fan Army Names

    Directioners? No. Beliebers? Move aside. Smilers, Lovatics, the Britney Army, Rihanna Navy, Katy Cats and Little Monsters can all be dismissed. "Royals" singer Lorde is not interested in your punny fan army names.

  • Pitbull, Ke$ha and 'Timber; Rule Digital Downloads Again

    Last week's Digital Downloads Top 10 (Top 50 for that matter) all saw an increase in sales thanks to the giving of iTunes gift cards, etc. during the holidays. That resulted in this week's inevitable drop off for all of the songs in the Top 10, which all saw a decrease in sales from last week. That doesn't mean sales were bad however: Five songs still broke 200,000 in total downloads, up from the typical two or three.

  • Frozen Tops Billboard 200, Dethrones Beyoncé and Holds of Eminem

    Temperatures have been cold across the country, and so have album sales. Due to the end of the year and the low number of new releases that comes with it, the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 features a slew of familiar faces, but at least the door opened up for a few hits from throughout 2013 to make a reappearance.

  • Pitbull, Ke$ha, Eminem and Rihanna End Year Atop Billboard Digital Downloads Chart

    Music Times warned you that the final Digital Downloads' chart of the year would be chalk full of sales thanks to people cashing in on the iTunes/download cards they received for Christmas. And sure enough, it was a huge week. Every song in the Top 50 saw a sales increase, and 46 of those tracks saw rises of more than 100 percent (aka doubling in sales since last week).
