  • RuPaul guilts fans from illegally downloading new album 'Born Naked'

    You would think at some point in the 15 years since the RIAA sued Napster that the music industry would've figured out a way to dissuade internet users from illegally downloading or torrenting music. The closest thing they have come to thus far is guilt. And surprisingly, it wasn't Thom Yorke or Metallica shaming listeners for their actions. It was reality television star RuPaul.

  • Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX make Clueless remix for 'Fancy' video [WATCH]

    Australian femcee Iggy Azalea and British alt-pop songstress Charli XCX will have you totally buggin' with the video for their new single, "Fancy."

  • Linkin Park, Thirty Seconds to Mars and AFI hitting road on ironically-titled 'Carnivores' tour

    Three rock bands that toe the line between alternative and mainstream rock will be teaming up this summer for a solid tour: Linkin Park, Thirty Seconds to Mars and AFI will take part in what's being called the "Carnivores Tour."

  • WATCH: Beyoncé 'Drunk In Love' emoji video goes viral, gives new meaning to eggplant

    Even though Beyoncé and Jay Z's sexy marital bliss single "Drunk In Love" has gotten at least half a dozen remixes, an official music video and a saucy Grammys performance, you still haven't experience the track quite like this.

  • 'Archer' character Cheryl goes country, and FX launches a full country album in her name [LISTEN]

    Country music has long held a fascination in the world of off-kilter adult animated series, such as Adult Swim's Squidbillies and the Appalachian-tinged The Heart, She Holler. FX's series Archer is dedicating a healthy portion of its fifth season to the theme of country music as character Cheryl Tunt receives a microchip in her brain and launches a career in the genre. It's a long story. The plot line is relevant enough for FX to release a full album of tracks from Cheryl's (stage name: Cherlene) country career.
