• Diddy Announces World Tour On Ellen Degeneres

    Diddy has become of the biggest moguls in hip-hop, taking on the role as brand ambassador for French vodka company Ciroc, his major media brand, Revolt TV as well as still being involved as various music ventures. Although he has been quiet on the music front lately compared to his 1990s output, it appears as though the "Shake Ya Tailfeather" rapper is plotting one last tour around the world. Puff went on the Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday to make a big announcement. Ellen guessed what that was and if she got it wrong, Diddy had to take a shot of Ciroc. Thankfully for Diddy, she got it write after four attempts. He did not give many more details then that, but did reveal it will be his last so he can spend time with his girls.
  • 8 Oasis No. 1 UK Hits: 'Don't Look Back In Anger,' 'The Hindu Times,' 'Lyla' and More

    Oasis, the most essentially-British band of the last 30 years (by both their own reckoning and ours), finally topped the charts in the Gallagher brothers' beloved UK 20 years ago today, with the single "Some Might Say," the first song off of the band's beloved album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? The band ended up topping the UK singles charts seven more times throughout its career (and only getting as high as no. 8 on the U.S. charts). Here are those no. 1 singles...be prepared for a few surprises (in terms of what didn't make it, if anything).

    The hot news in hip-hop today is the rumor that Compton rapper Skeme may have ghostwritten songs for Iggy Azalea, including "Fancy," the no. 4 song of 2014. This news probably surprises no one, despite denials from the performer herself and mentor T.I. that anyone else had a hand in crafting her hits. And if anyone is that shocked or appalled by the news...perhaps they should check out the history of hip-hop. You'll be surprised at how many songs are actually written by the least likely of performers. Here are just a few examples.
  • 7 Solo Artists Who Have Performed Under Multiple Names

    As good as your music may be, one of the most important aspects of "making it" in the music business is simply getting your name out there, and making sure people remember it. These seven artists, however, decided to switch between multiple aliases, largely for artistic reasons, which probably makes organizing their albums in a record store a huge pain.

  • 'Every Breath You Take' Makes Sting Almost $2,000 Every Day

    Most musicians make most of their money by touring and playing live. Unless you're a big name, recording alone isn't going to put food on the table. Waiting for royalties to come in from downloads and leasing your music out is an even less stable way to earn a buck. Sting can get by with his earnings from recording, but as a story on CelebrityNetWorth.com shows, the former Police bassist ain't doing bad from royalties either. Specifically, royalties from classic "Every Breath You Take." According to the site, the bassist/vocalist makes nearly $2,000 a day from the single's royalties.
