Janet Jackson's new album isn't just Unbreakable, it's unstoppable on the charts.

One Direction, Katy Perry Top Billboard's Music 'Money Makers' List [FULL LIST]
Forbes is usually the go-to for celebrity earnings and net worth but Billboard has assembled its own "money makers" list based exclusively on what performers brought in from musical earnings, such as live revenues and album sales (no sponsorship money or other other jobs outside of the industry...sorry Dr. Dre). When considered for music-based earnings, One Direction topped the chart for the last year, bringing in $46 million. Zayn Malik may want to reconsider some recent career decisions. -
Back of The Billboards: 'Still The King: Celebrating The Music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys'
Society always celebrates the records that top the Billboard 200 album chart.

We hope to give a fighting chance to the bands you haven't heard of. This week we look at Asleep At The Wheel's third Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys tribute, 'Still The King,' which features guest spots from George Strait, Brad Paisley, Willie Nelson and more. -
George Strait Debuting New Music at ACM Awards; Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line and More Also Performing
George Strait may have travelled off the touring horizon with his "The Cowboy Rides Away" farewell concert at AT&T Stadium in Dallas last year but that doesn't mean he's done with performing, or even new music. In fact, the Academy of Country Music confirmed that the icon would be playing just that, new music, when he appears at the ACM Awards on April 19. Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Florida Georgia Line, Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton and Keith Urban will also be performing that night. -

Madonna and the first official single from her forthcoming album Rebel Heart, "Living For Love," got to no. 1 on the Dance Club Songs chart. That makes it the 44th song from the performer to top that particular chart, which ties her with George Strait for the most songs atop any single chart. He's been no. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart 44 times as well. -
One Direction, George Strait, Luke Bryan Top StubHub's Ticket Sales List for 2014
StubHub released its year-end list recently and it serves as more proof that country music is one of today's most popular genres. While One Direction took the number one spot in ticket sales for their touring this year, George Strait and Luke Bryan were right behind the boy band. Justin Timberlake locked down the fourth slot, and even he had a big country year, performing with Garth Brooks in Nashville. -
Garth Brooks Tops Billboard's Country Albums Chart Moving Carrie Underwood to No. 2
Garth Brooks returned to the recording scene with "Man Against Machine" in November and his legions of devoted fans couldn't be happier.

It dethroned Carrie Underwood's greatest hits collection, which is now at the No. 2 spot. -
Dustin Lynch Covers Drake's 'Hold On, We're Going Home,' Country Artist Adds Some Soul to the Rap Tune [LISTEN]
Dustin Lynch is a firm believer that a good song is a good song regardless of the genre. The country star likes to incorporate Drake's 2013 tune "Hold On, We're Going Home" into his live shows. He recently played his version for Taste of Country and it's surprisingly soulful, sounding more like a pop hit than country ballad. -
Luke Bryan Top Jukebox Artist of 2014 According to TouchTunes; AC/DC, Eric Church and Lynyrd Skynyrd Right Behind
The bar crowd has spoken: Luke Bryan is the undisputed jukebox champion of 2014. TouchTunes, which supplies establishments with digital music machines, announced its most-played artists and songs recently, and the Crash My Party singer is at the top on the list. As Billboard points out, it makes complete sense with tunes like "Play It Again" and "Drink a Beer." AC/DC, Eric Church and Lynyrd Skynyrd were right behind Bryan. -

Facebook Suggests Democrats Prefer Beatles, Republicans George Strait
Social media has led to a new era, one where all of our personal information can be gathered and quantified to tell us things we already know or to create theories about listeners that are totally misguided (as was the case in the study done estimating how intelligent a listener was based on the music they enjoyed). We admit it's still a tad interesting to look at Facebook's chart demonstrating what performers are preferred on the left versus those on the right. -
