  • Sia's New Single "Alive" Originally Cut From Adele's Album '25'

    Sia collaborated with Adele this past year writing songs for the R&B singer's highly anticipated third album '25,' but one song didn't make the cut. Sia is moving ahead anyway by taking on the new single "Alive" and adding it to her own forthcoming album titled 'This is Acting.'

  • Tyrese Tops Billboard 200 with 'Black Rose,' Beats Meek Mill, Taylor Swift

    Tyrese may be the first musician to both star in a film with a no. 1 soundtrack ('Furious 7') and have a no. 1 album of his own in the same year ('Black Rose'). Although he didn't contribute to the aforementioned soundtrack, his most recent album became his first to top the Billboard 200, moving 86,000 equivalent units.

  • Psy's Red Rolls Royce Wrecked in China; Performer Unharmed in Accident

    "Gangnam Style" star Psy was reportedly involved in a car accident in Hangzhou, a city in Eastern China, over the weekend. Although the publicists for the K-Pop star didn't respond to calls for comments, all indications seem to suggest that the performer escape the incident unscathed.

  • Maroon 5 China Tour Cancelled, Reportedly Due to Dalai Lama Tweets

    Maroon 5 was set for a short tour in China this September but "Sugar" may have been too sweet for the authorities, who have reportedly prevented the band from playing its scheduled Beijing and Shanghai shows. The story, as suggested by CNN and other media sources, is that a tweet from keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Jesse Carmichael addressing the Dalai Lama may be to blame.

  • Meek Mill and 'DWMTM' Gets Another Week as Billboard 200 Shifts Dates

    It's an odd span for Nielsen and the Billboard 200, as the international (and official) album release date shifted from Tuesdays to Fridays last week. The next, regular Billboard 200 report should come next Saturday, however Billboard has tried to transition by running a report in the meantime that adds last weeks totals to the four days in-between official release dates. Music Times is trying to run things a little differently, by noting the Top 10 by actual sales during that period. Meek Mill comes out on top again.

  • Breaking Benjamin Breaks Sales Mark with New Album; Tori Kelly + Kacey Musgraves Follow

    Apparently the waiting only makes desire stronger, or at least that's what Breaking Benjamin learned with its most recent release, 'Dark Before Dawn.' The band had gone more than six years without a new album but the new release debuted with 141,000 equivalent copies sold (and 135,000 actual copies, marking the group's highest sales week ever). It's also the band's first no. 1 album on the Billboard 200. Kacey Musgraves and Tori Kelly also dropped new albums.

  • Alesso Releases Anthemic Maroon 5 'This Summer' Remix [LISTEN]

    The dust has barely settled on his debut artist album Forever and Swedish producer, DJ phenom Alesso has already released another piece of material to remind fans of his stature in the EDM space. This time he steps back from the originals and moves back into remixing, a space he does not do that often, but when the "Sweet Escape" producer ventures, it is generally very successfully. This time he has been tabbed to remix Maroon 5's new hit "This Summer," that has been released as a single just in time for the warmer months of the season and adding a rework from Alesso makes perfect sense.

  • James Taylor Finally Hits No. 1, Beating Namesake Taylor Swift

    It's been a long-time-coming for James Taylor as his newest album, Before The World, took the no. 1 spot on the Billboard 200, making it the first record in the songwriter's 45-year career to do so (that span, measuring from the release of Taylor's first album to this one, is the second longest span in chart history, behind only Tony Bennett, who went 54 years without a no. 1). Before The World sold 97,000 copies...far from Taylor's best but plenty enough to take the top spot.

  • Muse 'Drones' Tops Billboard 200 Over The Rolling Stones, Of Monsters and Men
