• 50 Years of Rolling Stones No. 1s: "Satisfaction," "Paint It Black" and More

    Many a joke has been passed about the age of the Rolling Stones...and maybe this fact confirms it: It's been more than 50 years since the band released its first American no. 1 single, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 chart from July 10, 1965. It wasn't the "big breakthrough" that the band needed in the United States, but it certainly got the ball rolling faster, ensuring the group's status as one of the biggest bands in music history. The Stones released seven other no. 1 singles over the next 50 years, and you can check them out below.

  • NME Lists Its 500 Best Songs of All Time

    "Greatest songs of all time" lists are nothing new, but we admit we're curious to see what the folks at NME have come up with. After all, the magazine emphasizes rock from the U.K., and the U.K. has produced many of the most influential groups of all time. Interestingly, NME opted to shy away from the obvious big names, at least in its top five (only 500-401 and the top five have been released thus far).

  • Donna Summer Gets Remix Treatment on "Love To Love You Donna," Featuring Hot Chip, Masters At Work, Others

    Disco took it rougher than most genres when it fell from popularity more than 30 years ago. However some recent developments have brought the genre back to...no quite hip, but getting there. The year's top-selling single thus far, Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" featured contributions from Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers, whose band was at the peak of its popularity during the late '70s (although Chic is one of the few disco acts that has always been chic). Disco's biggest name, Donna Summer, is next in line for revitalization.
