• Carrie Underwood, Rashida Jones and Jimmy Fallon give holiday makeovers to 'Wrecking Ball,' 'Blurred Lines' and more in new viral video [WATCH]

    If there's one thing that "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon knows how to do extraordinarily well, it's take the boring old celebrity interview segment and turn it into an amazing viral sensation. Yesterday (Nov. 28), the "SNL" alum welcomed guests Rashida Jones and Carrie Underwood. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Christmas and the Billboard Top 40 charts, the trio gave amazing holiday makeovers to some of the biggest hits from 2013. And, of course, the results are totally hilarious.

  • Hall & Oates talk plans for new music, reissues

    Hall and Oates fans, get excited. The duo has announced plans to start working on music again. Following the band's first-ever nomination from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, spoke with Billboard about what the future holds for the band.

  • Pepsi suggests new albums from Nas, Andre 3000 and Watch The Throne...but we have better ideas

    Pepsi Pulse, a sub-site within pepsi.com dedicated to music, has listed five hip-hop albums that it wants to hear during 2014 (which is odd...based on what Pusha T tells us, hip hope is more of a Coke genre...sorry, bad joke). The list includes fairly stellar choices, but Music Times had a few others in mind we're more interested in. Our suggestions for three replacements:

  • Sigur Rós to release limited-edition 'Kveikur' box set

    Sigur Rós have announced the release of a limited edition box set of 12-inch vinyl for their latest album, Kveikur. According to the item description, each of the nine pieces of vinyl comes with a flipside instrumental version.

  • Amazon is selling a lot of albums, including 'Yeezus' for as little as $1.99

    If you like the idea of getting great deals for Black Friday, but you are still too stuffed from Thanksgiving or you just can't bear to think about waiting in lines and pushing your way through enthusiastic bargain-hunting crowds, you should check out Amazon, especially if you'd like to get some smokin' deals on records from 2013.

  • Jack White's Third Man Records release new Bumble Buzz guitar pedal

    Black Friday shopping isn't for that faint of heart. In fact some retailers should probably consider requiring shoppers to wear helmets or other protective gear. But Jack White's Third Man Records has a special post-Thanksgiving special for the busiest shopping day of the year, and it doesn't require you to wait in line.

  • Fifth Harmony voices come out better on 'Better Together: Acoustic'

    Society always celebrates the records that top the Billboard 200 album chart. Back of The Billboards is a Music Times weekly segment that looks at the opposite end: the new record that finished closest to the back of the Billboard 200 for the previous week. We hope to give a fighting chance to the bands you haven't heard of.

  • Internet Radio Fairness Act fails, Pandora to take the brunt of the decision

    Online radio services have taken a hit, as it seems the proposed Internet Radio Fairness Act has all but failed. Pandora, the largest representative of ouch services, has basically quit its campaign to get the law passed, according to its co-founder Tim Westergren, acknowledging the cold reality that it won't pass.

  • X Factor's annual 'Thanksgiving slaughter' cuts Lillie McCloud and Josh Levi

    The X Factor isn't doing too well in the United States. Season 3 has continued to see a drop off in viewers, so the series had to hope that its annual Thanksgiving spectacle would bring some attention back, otherwise the show might not survive to see a fourth season. Playfully titled the "Thanksgiving slaughter," the show has made it a habit of axing two contestants during its holiday episode. Last night that dropped the remaining number of players down to six.
