• 7 Longest Hip-Hop Streaks At No. 1: Eminem, The Black Eyed Peas, Wiz Khalifa

    Yesterday we learned that Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth had matched hip-hop history by topping the Hot 100 for a 12th week with "See You Again," the pair's smash from the Furious 7 soundtrack. The genre has come a long way since Blondie landed the first rap atop the Hot 100 during 1980 (yeah, Blondie) but still: Only seven hip-hop songs have managed to spend at least 10 weeks on top of arguably the biggest chart in music. Join us as we count up from fewest weeks to most weeks at no. 1, and check back next Wednesday to see if Khalifa and co. manage to take history a step further.

  • Twenty One Pilots, Zedd, Jamie Foxx and Faith No More Debut in Albums Chart Top 10

    Twenty One Pilots had never sold more than 11,000 copies of an album in one week prior to the release of Blurryface last week, but that record didn't need streaming to top the Billboard 200. It also comes in at no. 1 on the albums chart, selling 134,000 copies (more than 91 percent of the album's Billboard 200 total came from actual album sales).

  • Twenty One Pilots Top Billboard 200, Taylor Swift Recovers Big Time Post-Awards

That makes the Columbus, OH-based alt group the seventh act to top the charts for the first time during 2015 (including bigger bands such as Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons).

  • Jamie Foxx Defends His 'Star-Spangled Banner' Performance

    Jamie Foxx wasn't feeling the love following his performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" Saturday, May 2 for the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight. Viewers took to social media to criticize the rendition, but the actor/singer recently revealed there were more problems then just the creative choices he took.

  • Jamie Foxx, Josh Groban, Idina Menzel and More: Ranking 2015's National Anthems at Sporting Events

    We had a realization while watching the Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao fight last night: Amid all the spectacle at the "fight of the century," the rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" turned in by Jamie Foxx was somewhat a spectacle unto itself. In fact, our national anthem can easily be converted into an overwrought piece of showmanship when handled awkwardly, and nowhere is it handled more awkwardly than at major sporting events. We decided to look at seven versions of the national anthem—from Josh Groban to Queen Latifah—from seven of the largest sporting events so far during 2015 and rank them for both talent and sincerity.

  • Jennifer Lawrence Gets Hot 100 Hit with 'The Hanging Tree' from 'The Hunger Games'

    "Hunger Games" actress Jennifer Lawrence has a lot going for her these days.
