Britney Spears, Sia go acoustic for light new version of 'Perfume' [LISTEN]
Britney Spears' "Perfume" may be the singer's favorite song on the album, but the heart-wrenching ballad failed to live up to industry expectations, receiving mediocre reviews and only peaking at No. 76 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Guns 'n' Roses, Avenged Sevenfold, Kid Rock headlining Columbus's Rock on The Range
Music festival announcement season has swung into full gear, and after looking at a couple of lineups, you get the idea for the rest. Many kudos to the many worthy alternative and indie rock bands touring the festival circuit this summer, but few festivals include anything representing the harder-rocking/metal side of music (we're stoked for Deafheaven at Governor's Ball). Rock on The Range, based in Columbus, OH, is the place to be for those into "weight room rock." The show's eighth incarnation brings headliners again. -
