The show will actually be celebrating its 10th anniversary, and major plans are underway to switch things up while securing some of the things and players that have worked.Rob Wade, the show's executive producer, recently talked to The Wrap about Julianne Hough's contribution as a drug this past season and how quickly she managed to gel with the rest of the panel."I think the ballroom experience and the dance experience and the star quality and vibrancy that Julianne has brought to the panel has been exceptional. I also think that the way that Carrie Ann [Inaba], Bruno [Tonioli] and Len [Goodman] have embraced her and have individually been so great this season, as well, has been wonderful. I think it shows their character that they can do that. The three of them have been absolutely wonderful in welcoming Julianne in and I think it has been lovely to watch," said Wade.
  • The Longest Streaks in Hot 100 History: Featuring Plenty of Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey and Black Eyed Peas

    On this date during 1994, Boyz II Men stuck around for a 14th week atop the Billboard Hot 100 with its hit "I'll Make Love To You."

As album sales have grown less important to the industry and single sales have become more relevant, that record has since changed hands. Check out the Top 13 songs in terms of weeks at no. 1 (mind you, there are quite a few ties...we ranked ties according to age of the song, not by how much we personally enjoyed it).

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Is Getting Those Divorce Papers Ready as Marriage to Joe Giudice Is in Ruins

    Teresa Giudice is scheduled to surrender to authorities at a prison camp in Connecticut Jan. 5, a stint that will ultimately keep her locked away from her kids for 15 months. One of the ways that "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star is dealing with her temporary fate is by beginning to plan for her life afterward. Once she is released, her husband Joe Giudice will immediately begin serving a 41-month sentence for a string of financial crimes, and it is unlikely that they will be married once he is a free man.According to a report by the "Daily Mail," Teresa is already planning on having Joe served with divorce papers shortly after he is locked up. She is already furious that she trusted his business dealings only to find herself a convicted felon who needs to serve prison time. The reality star has insisted that she was prone to signing things that her husband put in front of her without really understanding what the documents actually were. As time has gine on, Teresa has found the resentment growing and she knows that it will only be worse once she is locked up while Joe is still walking free.
