• Beyonce's "Big" Announcement Was...Disappointing; Fans Mock Star

    Beyoncé broke the internet when she dropped her last self-titled album by surprise during 2013, so we could only imagine what sort of wonders she would reveal on Good Morning America when the show declared she "has something she wants you to know." Another album announcement? A huge, solo tour? A Destiny's Child reunion?!? Needless to say, it was rather disappointing.

  • 5 Worst Stage Injuries of 2015: Britney Spears, Enrique Iglesias and More

    Music Times was on hand at Governors Ball this weekend when Slim Jimmy of Rae Sremmurd fell off of a speaker and injured his leg, reportedly involving a "big ass piece of glass" stuck in his leg, based on his microphone reports from behind the stage, where he was being treated. The emcee took to the injury rather well, not returning to the stage but calling for anyone in the crowd who captured the incident on camera to "post that sh*t on Instagram." The good news is that the paramedics on the scene were able to patch Jimmy up well before taking him to a nearby hospital, where he was declared to be in stable condition. The hip-hop duo isn't expecting to miss any time on the road as a result. It wasn't the first incident involving onstage injuries during 2015. Here are five other mishaps, ranked from least to most frightening.

  • 5 Triple Crown Horses and Music to Match: Michael Jackson, U2 and More

    Fans of horse racing finally got the Triple Crown they had been waiting 37 years for when American Pharoah won at Belmont this weekend, capping off a Spring that included wins at the Preakness Stakes and the Kentucky Derby. It was the first time a horse had won the "Big 3" since Affirmed during 1978, with the horse in question finally sealing the deal in the third race. We say "finally" because it's not as if attempts at the Triple Crown are rare—13 horses won the first two legs of the Crown in the years since 1978—however the lengthier Belmont course often wore down on the hopeful horses. Music Times doesn't know much about racing, but we wanted to pay tribute to the last five Triple Crown winners with a comparable musical act, including Michael Jackson, U2 and more.
