For the 2015 Grammys, the Best New Artist field is wide and varied. You have two alternative rock acts (Haim, Bastille), soul (Sam Smith), rap (Iggy Azalea) and country (Brandy Clark). So, how do you even make a prediction when literally any one of these acts could take home that golden gramophone? -
Grammys 2015 Best Rock Song Nominees, Who Should Win & Who Will Win: Jack White, Paramore and The Black Keys Duke It Out
On Monday, Feb. 2, we lamented the lack of experimentation in the 2015 Song of the Year category, and there is not much to be excited about in the Best Rock Song category, either. Album of the Year rivulet "Blue Moon" -- from Beck's "Morning Phase" -- is one of the favorites, along with Paramore's "Ain't It Fun" and Jack White's "Lazaretto." Who should win and who will win at the Grammys? -
Grammys 2015 Best Urban Contemporary Album Nominees, Who Should Win & Who Will Win: Beyoncé, Pharrell, Chris Brown, Jhené Aiko, & Mali Music Battle For Award
The 57th Annual Grammy Awards hosted by LL Cool J will air live from the Los Angeles Staples Center this Sunday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS. We've examined the biggest categories and have put in our two cents on who we think should win and who we think will win each award. Vote for your pick in the poll at the bottom of the page. Although we don't predict G I R L winning Album of the Year, the effort could fare well in the Urban Contemporary department, which in its third year as a category celebrates albums that include "the more contemporary elements of R&B and may incorporate production elements found in urban pop, urban Euro-pop, urban rock, and urban alternative." Pharrell is the face of contemporary production, and his latest effort splashes pop, funk, and dance onto its R&B canvas. The album also features heavyweight contributors Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Daft Punk and Miley Cyrus, adding to its mainstream appeal. -

Grammys 2015 Album of the Year Nominees, Who Should Win & Who Will Win: Beyoncé, Beck & More Battle For Award
The 57th Annual Grammy Awards hosted by LL Cool J will air live from the Los Angeles Staples Center this Sunday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS. We've examined the biggest categories and have put in our two cents on who we think should win and who we think will win each award. Vote for your pick in the poll at the bottom of the page. Beyoncé's surprise self-titled album will be hard to beat. It was, in the truest sense, the most influential album of the year. The effort was unprecedented as far as marketing, promotion and the massive visual component that tied everything together. With no prior promotion, it sold more than 828,773 copies in the first three days, which is impressive in an era where streaming and piracy are killing sales of actual downloads. -
Grammys 2015 Record of the Year Nominees, Who Should Win & Who Will Win: Sam Smith, Sia & Taylor Swift Duke It Out
When it comes to the Grammys, sometimes it seems like it's all about the big four: Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist. In a year filled with pop gems from every corner of the genre, this year's nominations for Record of the Year are stacked. From throwback singles from Sam Smith and Meghan Trainor to modern demonstrations of pop from Taylor Swift, Sia and Iggy Azalea, there seems to be no clear cut winner. -
Grammys 2015 Song of the Year Nominees, Who Should Win and Who Will Win: Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor Do Battle
Song of the Year is perhaps the crux of the whole "The Grammys only care about Top 40 music" argument. Album of the Year and Record of the Year can be judged on sales without much moral handwringing, but Song of the Year? The actual craft of writing a song that resonates with millions while building upon centuries of human achievement? The Grammy 2015 nominees include Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor, and we will tell you who should win and who will win. -

Super Bowl Guest Acts Since 2011, When The NFL Allowed The to Come Back: Destiny's Child, Slash, M.I.A. and More
The Super Bowl had an unspoken band on guest acts for six years following the infamous Justin Timberlake/Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction." How have backing musicians fared since being welcomed back during 2011? We look back at Destiny's Child, Slash, M.I.A. and more while looking forward to Katy Perry's performance with Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott. -
10 Super Bowl Halftime Show Stages: Ranking the Platforms of Madonna, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars and More
The Super Bowl Halftime Show often benefits from a great performance onstage. Sometimes. But knowing the much of the audio is prerecorded kind of takes some of the fun out of it. That's why more often than not our final verdict on the big game's big entertainment (especially in recent years) had revolved more around the stage-show than the music itself. Nothing is more important to a stage-show than a stage. Music Times went back and checked out the last ten Super Bowl performers and more importantly, what they were playing on, and ranked them accordingly (including Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Madonna and more). This isn't a ranking of the performances, but of the platform that held it.
