  • Lady Gaga's 'ARTPOP' sells 250,000 copies, loses Interscope $25 million

    News has already broken that Lady Gaga's ARTPOP will debut at no. 1 in the U.K. charts, and there's a solid chance it will do the same in the United States.

  • Justin Bieber Music Mondays: 'PYD' (feat. R. Kelly) makes its super sensual debut online [REVIEW]

    Unlike the unnamed lead character in the classic children's book Green Eggs And Ham, who does not want his breakfast in a box, with a fox or anywhere, for that matter, Justin Bieber is up to "put you down" wherever he can.

Thus begins the seventh installation of Bieber's Music Mondays series, "PYD."

  • Matt Cameron touring with Pearl Jam versus Soundgarden for 2014; Band will find replacement for time being

    As diehard grunge fans, we had hoped that the world would never come to this: Matt Cameron deciding whether he would tour with Soundgarden or Pearl Jam. Cameron, possibly the most relevant name that you've never heard of in the early '90s Seattle grunge movement, is a very relevant part of both bands. And it makes sense, as he was the best drummer in the scene (it wasn't Dave Grohl, with no offense to the Nirvana drummer).
