• Miley Cyrus Criticizes Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' Music Video, Talks Being Role Model

    Miley Cyrus isn't looking to be a "conventional" role model, but that doesn't mean she's afraid to call out those who may be.

  • Disney 'Descendants' Tops Billboard 200; Led Zeppelin, Drake Return to Top 10

    Another week and another soundtrack on top of the Billboard 200 as Descendants, the newest Disney TV movie, manages to get its musical half to no. 1. The compilation moved a total of 42,000 units, which was the lowest number of albums moved by a no. 1 so far during 2015. It may have been a slow sales week, but Disney's not going to complain about another high entry for one of its soundtracks (Teen Beach 2 cracked the Top 10 earlier this year). This is the fourth soundtrack to top the Billboard 200 so far during 2015-the most since 2009-as Descendants follows Empire, Furious 7 and Pitch Perfect 2. We'll see if another title joins that list by the end of the year.

  • Half of UK Nightclubs Closed in Last Decade, According to New Report

  • Deadmau5 Trolls DOTA 2 Finals With 'Levels' During Surprise Performance

    Deadmau5 continued his trolling ways last night at the DOTA 2 International Championships. He was tabbed for a surprise 20-minute performance for the thousands of gaming faithful who had gathered at Key Arena in Seattle and millions more watching online. It all seemed to be going great as deadmau5 played some of his bigger tunes and remixes found on '5 Years Of Mau5' and then he decided to cap off the set with a hard cut to Avicii "Levels," a track that has become the symbol of the modern commercial EDM era that Zimmerman hates so much and then ran off the stage into the locker rooms.

  • Julio Bashmore Debut Album 'Knockin Boots' Released

    UK producer and DJ, Julio Bashmore, has released his debut artist album, 'Knockin' Boots.' The album is packed with soulful, nostalgic (but also ageless and forward thinking) house tunes that are grounded in a strong groove, but come together with an irresistible hook.

  • 7 Jerry Garcia Side Projects: New Riders, Rainforest Band, Legion of Mary & More

    Today marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Jerry Garcia, and we're not going to pretend you don't know that he was perhaps the most influential member and guitarist of the Grateful Dead. But, what you probably didn't know, was that—like any good jam band member—he was involved with a number of other groups in his day. Here are seven of the other, more prominent groups that Garcia was a member of before, after and during his time with the Dead.

  • Taylor Swift Loves Future's 'DS2,' But Brings Out Ciara & Russell Wilson

    That's right -- Taylor Swift has officially joined the #FutureHive. Future's DS2 recently debuted at No. 1, ahead of Swift's 1989, and the "Trap N*ggas" rapper was elated just to be mentioned in the same sentence as the world's biggest pop star. Future reposted an Instagram showing DS2 next to 1989, praising the "legendary" "Bad Blood" singer, and soon after, Swift commented on his post -- which "made her day" -- and called herself a "huge fan" of Dirty Sprite 2.

  • 'Jive Talkin'" and Beyond: The Bee Gees No. 1's of The '70s

    It was a dark day for fans of rock music on August 9, 1975, as the Bee Gees' "Jive Talkin'" would be announced as the no. 1 song on the Hot 100. It was the group's second no. 1 hit in its then-14-year career but it was the first that could be classified as "disco." Things would only get better/worse (depending on who you are) from there on out, as the Gibb brothers would become the biggest names in the genre's short history, releasing another seven no. 1 hits before 1980 struck. These are those tracks.
