• President Obama Thanks Chicago's Chosen Few DJs for 25th Anniversary

    President Obama may have to keep a clean image for political reasons, but stowed away somewhere in the White House, the POTUS has his dancing shoes ready to go.

  • Wiz Khalifa 'See You Again' Tops Hot 100: OMI, Silento & Rachel Platten Make Gains

    It's not even a "See You Again" for Wiz Khalifa, Charlie Puth and the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100: it's that they're never leaving.

  • Mariah Carey, Madonna and TLC: The Longest Hot 100 Streaks of 1995

    TLC celebrated the beginning of its longest streak on the Hot 100 on this date 20 years ago, as "Waterfalls" topped the singles charts for seven weeks afterward. Now, the Hot 100 is different than the Billboard 200 in that it's rare for any one album to top the chart for more than a few weeks, while songs can rack up huge runs on their chart. For example, only two albums have been at no. 1 for more than one week during 2015 (Taylor Swift's 1989 and Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly), while Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" has ruled the Hot 100 for 14 weeks thus far (the other 14 weeks have been split between Swift and Wiz Khalifa). Five songs managed to stay at no. 1 for seven weeks or more during 1995...so at least 35 of the year's 52 weeks were owned by just five songs. Check out the playlist of '95's most popular tracks.
