• Led Zepplin's No. 1 Albums Ranked by Weeks on Billboard 200: 'Houses of The Holy,' 'Physical Graffiti' and More

    Led Zeppelin released its excellent album 'Physical Graffiti' 40 years ago today, an album that climbed to no. 1 for six weeks, which would be the band's fourth no. 1 on the Billboard 200. The band would end up going on to release a total of seven Billboard no. 1 albums throughout its career. Music Times knows that albums could spend a lot longer atop the Billboard 200 back in those days (believe it or not), so we decided to check what Zeppelin albums lasted the longest at the top of the charts.

  • 5 Highest Priced Records on eBay Right Now: Joy Division, Iron Maiden, and More Obscure Rarities

    Jack White made headlines last week when he announced that he was the bidder who spent $300,000 for the acetate of Elvis Presley's original single, a 7" pressing from Sun Records featuring "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin," and that his label Third Man Records would be releasing copies of the recording for Record Store Day 2015.

  • 5 Acts Who Have Landed Three Hot 100 Hits at One Time: The Beatles, Ariana Grande and A Disco Icon

    Rapper 50 Cent set a new high during 2005 when he became the first rapper to have three songs in the Top 5 of the Hot 100 at one time. We're not going to hold everybody to that standard, as only one band in history has ever landed three songs of its own in the Top 5 at the same time. In fact, 50 Cent's accomplishment was aided in that one of those songs featured him as a guest on a Game single. Fitty's accomplishment was still impressive, but he's never managed to get even three of his own songs into the Top 10 of the Hot 100 at the same time. Only five acts have, without relying on guest spots in other performers' songs.

  • Ekaterina Gordeeva Juggles Motherhood with 'Dancing for Joy' in New 'Stars on Ice' Tour

    Figure skaters come and go, some grab titles only to disappear a year or two later. Sometimes the only goal is to win a national title and then to leave the sport altogether. Very few skaters actually find any kind of longevity in the often fickle and extremely competitive sport and even less actually become household names, spending decades on the ice. There is a handful of skaters that are considered figure skating royalty and Ekaterina "Katia" Gordeeva certainly does find herself leading the way.

  • Emily Hearn Talks New Album 'Hourglass,' Bill Murray's Appearance In Her Music Video, Her Upcoming Tour & More; Performs "The Oak Tree" & "Volcano" [WATCH]

    Singer-songwriter Emily Hearn just released her latest album Hourglass this month and will be embarking on a massive North American tour, opening for Tyrone Wells that will take them from coast to coast and everywhere in between.

She also treated us to live acoustic performances of her songs "The Oak Tree" and "Volcano."

  • The Hold Steady's 'Almost Killed Me' Turns 11: Five Best Songs From the Group's Debut

    Members of The Hold Steady celebrated their 10th anniversary last year with the release of a sixth album, 'Teeth Dreams.' It was clear the band had veered a bit from the sound and angst that graced its superb debut 'Almost Killed Me,' which turned 11 today, March 16. The group would go on to record the concept effort 'Separation Sunday' in 2005 and the fan-favorite album 'Boys and Girls in America' in 2006. None contained the explosiveness the first had.
