Two acts dominated the pop categories at the 2014 Grammys, and they weren't necessarily the ones you expected. The best-selling single of the year, "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke, couldn't grab a trophy despite three nominations. The best-selling album of the year, The 20/20 Experience by Justin Timberlake, took home Best R&B Performance for "Pusher Love Girl" but fell flat for both of its Pop genre nominations. Daft Punk and Lorde weren't exactly surprise winners, but they ended the night the most decorated of the pop artists in attendance. -

Katy Perry Stays Second Week atop Digital Downloads Chart with 'Dark Horse'
An interesting trend has developed over on the Billboard Digital Downloads charts: A streak of two-week streaks. The previous five songs to hold the no. 1 spot in the Top 10 have appeared there for exactly two weeks before being replaced by a different song. -
Bruce Springsteen and Kidz Bop Give 'Frozen' Soundtrack Competition
Ah...the smell of new things is in the air. No, we're not talking about Spring. Sorry. It will stay cold for a while but at least we'll have new music to listen to in the meantime! Four of the albums in this week's Billboard Top 10 are new releases, including a new no. 1. -
For Better or Worse, Village Voice's Pazz+Jop Rank the Top Albums and Singles of 2013 [POLL]
While many argue the merits of the long-suffering publication as well as the results therein--hey, the lot of us feel the same way about the Grammys--the Voice's P+J issue (conceived of by disgraced music editor, Bob Xgau) is about as consensus as we're likely to get these days. -
Katy Perry Rides 'Dark Horse' to Top of Digital Downloads Charts; Aloe Blacc Rises with 'The Man'
The Top 10 albums from last week might not have featured too many new entries, but the Digital Downloads Top 10 indicates that new players are looking to make a run at the top.

Lorde Rejects Your Cutesy Fan Army Names
Directioners? No. Beliebers? Move aside. Smilers, Lovatics, the Britney Army, Rihanna Navy, Katy Cats and Little Monsters can all be dismissed. "Royals" singer Lorde is not interested in your punny fan army names. -
Pitbull, Ke$ha and 'Timber; Rule Digital Downloads Again
Last week's Digital Downloads Top 10 (Top 50 for that matter) all saw an increase in sales thanks to the giving of iTunes gift cards, etc. during the holidays. That resulted in this week's inevitable drop off for all of the songs in the Top 10, which all saw a decrease in sales from last week. That doesn't mean sales were bad however: Five songs still broke 200,000 in total downloads, up from the typical two or three. -
Frozen Tops Billboard 200, Dethrones Beyoncé and Holds of Eminem
Temperatures have been cold across the country, and so have album sales.
