• The Biggest Band You Don't Know Goes Viral for Charity

    Sometimes an act will have a following of millions on YouTube and you still haven't heard of them. Boyce Avenue is one of those acts. The pop/rock band of brothers has been selling songs and shows are the world, so you may have actually seen them outside of their billion YouTube views.

  • AC/DC and 'X Factor' Winner Already Vying for Top U.K. Christmas Single

    The top of the pop charts stays very much the same at Christmastime in the United States. Regardless of whether you've topped the charts as of Veteran's Day or Christmas Day, you've topped the charts. It's not the same in Britain however, where possession of the top spot on Christmas is a more venerated thing. The spot is one traditionally dominated by the winner of that year's season of the UK X Factor series. However, those tired of the populist pap have fired up a social media campaign to encourage listeners to buy a different single in the week leading up to Christmas: AC/DC's "Highway To Hell."
