• Super Bowl's Most Shazamed Songs: What Commercial Soundtracks Got Most Interest? Car Commercials Do Best

    Advertisers paid more than $4.5 million per 30 seconds of airtime during the Super Bowl last night so they like to know that their wares get people's attention. One way to do this is to examine what soundtracks get Shazamed, or searched using music identification service Shazam. Last night's most Shazamed moments came during the halftime show (more on that later) but outside of that it looked like New York songwriter Marc Scibilia induced the most curiosity with his rendition of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" featured during a Jeep commercial.

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers Reportedly Working With Danger Mouse for New Album

    Amid all the Super Bowl chaos and Katy Perry praise, Flea posted a tweet over the weekend reportedly confirming Danger Mouse as the producer for the next Red Hot Chili Peppers album. The post has since been deleted, Alternative Nation pointed out, but perhaps that is just the bassist's way of creating some hype. Either way, DM might be what the group needs for their 11th studio album.

  • Rick Ross Unveils Big Sean "IDFWU" Remix [LISTEN]

    Big Sean's "IDFWU" has become ubiquitous in pop culture not just for the Big Sean verses and the DJ Mustard beat, but also for the phrase "I Don't F**k With You." It should come as no surprise that other big-name rappers would want to hop on the bandwagon and get a piece of the action with a remix, official or unofficial, of the song. Maybach Music founder and the biggest boss the world has seen thus far, Rick Ross, decided he wanted in on the action and laid down a verse on "IDFWU" to call the track a remix of his own.

  • Grammys 2015 Song of the Year Nominees, Who Should Win and Who Will Win: Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor Do Battle

    Song of the Year is perhaps the crux of the whole "The Grammys only care about Top 40 music" argument. Album of the Year and Record of the Year can be judged on sales without much moral handwringing, but Song of the Year? The actual craft of writing a song that resonates with millions while building upon centuries of human achievement? The Grammy 2015 nominees include Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor, and we will tell you who should win and who will win.

  • Chief Keef Reunites With Lil Durk On New Song "Decline" [LISTEN]

    Chief Keef teams up with his former Chicago rival Lil Durk for the Young Chop-produced "Decline." Their first collaboration in a few years, Keef takes on the hook, singing about declining phone calls from persistent women and adding a verse in between Durk's own two verses.

  • President Obama Tells Parents to Vaccinate Their Children

    There are currently 100 cases of measles in the United States, and there is growing concern that this number could rise significantly. Some parents believe childhood vaccines are closely linked to autism and other conditions, so they have opted against immunizing their children, but the reality is that these kids then run the risk of spreading measles to infants who are too young to be immunized. When President Barack Obama sat down for his pre-Super Bowl chat with "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, immunizations was a topic he was eager to address.

  • Pirate Bay Back Online with New Logo and New Moldovan Home Two Months after Swedish Police Raid

    "You can't keep a good pirate down" may or may not have been the moral of the Pirates of The Caribbean film series but law enforcement around the world hasn't been able to keep The Pirate Bay down, that's for sure. The torrenting site was believed to have been crushed when Swedish police raided its data center in Stockholm at the beginning of December, but administrators behind the site declared a two-month period by the end of which the service would have resurrected. They beat the deadline by one day, and probably just for dramatic effect.
