    Madonna paid Taylor Swift a nice compliment recently, and now the young singer is freaking out over it.

  • Madonna 'Rebel Heart' Leaker Arrested in Israel; FBI and Lahav 433 Reports Former Vocal Competition Contestant Hacked Multiple Stars' Computers

    Album leaks are an unfortunate trend in music right now, perhaps the reason why so many performers are opting to release their albums by surprise for download rather than issue an official release date. Some performers you just can't screw with however: The outrage from the Madonna camp led the FBI and other international bodies to investigate the leak of demos from her forthcoming album Rebel Heart and led to the arrest of a former contestant on an Israeli television vocal competition.

  • Bad Habits: Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Gwen Stefani and More Performers with Nun Imagery in Music Videos

    Fifty years ago featured a very special guest appearance on NBC's Tarzan, as The Supremes stopped by. Fortunately even network executives and scriptwriters in those days weren't dumb enough to put the Motown stars in potentially offensive roles so the trio of vocalists was cast as a group of nuns. It was, in short, the most politically correct portrayal of nuns on this side of The Sound of Music. Many musicians have donned habits for music videos and very few of them took as kindly to the sisterhood as NBC did.

  • Classic Music Artists Who Have Made The Jump to Children's Literature: Paul McCartney, Madonna, David Bowie and More

    Danny Brown surprised us, or at least those familiar with his foul mouth, by revealing that he was in the process of writing a Dr. Seuss-style children's book aiming to encourage black girls to appreciate themselves while promoting self-esteem. The emcee is hardly the first established musician to try his hand at children's literature, although usually those handling the pen could also live off their royalties forever so they have time to experiment with new things.

  • 8 Artists with At Least 8 No. 1 Albums: Ranking The Octopping Albums from Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Jay Z and More

It was his eighth no. 1 album, an extension of his record for most albums atop the Billboard 200 by one artist (which would soon be surpassed for good by The Beatles). Interestingly enough, only eight acts have had at least eight albums top the American charts. We at Music Times decided to find out each of those acts' no. 8 no. 1 and measure them up against each other.

  • Madonna & Miley Cyrus Sharing Weird Love on Instagram: 'Rebel Heart' Singer and 'Bangerz' Star Swapping Photo Manips on Social Media

    In a recent Instagram post, Madonna claimed that she has love for all female artists and that there is room for everybody in the vast world of entertainment.

  • Grammys 2015: AC/DC, Madonna and U2 Rumored to Perform at 57th Award Show in February

    The highlight of this year's Grammys might come in the form of older acts. Rumors have surfaced that AC/DC, U2 and Madonna have all been tapped to perform at the awards show Feb. 8. This would make complete sense since those three acts have or are working on new albums: AC/DC with "Rock or Bust," U2 with "Songs of Innocence" and Madonna with "Rebel Heart."Hits Daily Double first reported the rumors — it is the same source that said AC/DC is in the frontrunning to headline Coachella. No other information was given, but considering the diversity of the three and the show's tradition of booking young and seasoned performers, this is looking pretty plausible. AC/DC would certainly liven up the show.Last year, Paul McCartney, Metallica and Daft Punk were just a few of the performers to take the stage at the Grammys. McCartney and Ringo Starr were honored at a separate show highlighting The Beatles's 50th anniversary of playing "The Ed Sullivan Show."U2's "Songs of Innocence" was given away to iTunes users in September. The band partnered with Apple for the surprise release. Bono and the boys released a limited vinyl edition of the album for sale later, making the effort eligible for the Grammys.
