• Spotify Streams Way Up following Grammys for Daft Punk, more

    Album and download sales are down. Everyone knows this. The number of viewers taking on the Grammys even year continues to rise however, most likely because they're on television, and the populace just can't handle things they can't see. Either way, musicians that are already pretty popular from a musical perspective see huge increases in activity following The Grammys' broadcast, at least according to numbers released by Spotify.

  • Macklemore Apologizes to Kendrick Lamar

    All the hip kids are already lashing out at Macklemore & Ryan Lewis for their four-trophy night at The Grammys.

Blaming the Seattle rapper for the decisions of the Grammy committee seems unfair, but Macklemore seems to agree with the logic. Or at least he sent a text message to Lamar apologizing for the results.

  • Disclosure and Chvrches Received Most Blog Mentions During 2013

    If you roll your eyes at the term "blogosphere," at least acknowledge the truth the music world on the internet is vastly different from real-life music. The most telling example is Hype Machine's yearly 'Music Blog Zeitgeist,' which counts down the Top 50 performers based on how often they're mentioned in over 820 prominent music blogs. Hint: Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Eminem, Jay Z and Katy Perry didn't make the list.

  • Kanye West 'Yeezus' Tour: Rapper Announces 23-Date Trip With Kendrick Lamar Opening [SCHEDULE]

    Kanye West broke the hearts of many a hip-hop fan when he opted not to tour in support of 2010's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," simply one of the best hip-hop albums in history.

It's been officially announced that West will embark on a 23-date trek beginning on October 19 in Seattle, and wrap the tour up on December 7 in Houston.
