'Guardians of The Galaxy,' 'Now 51' and 'Frozen' Make Billboard 200 a Compilation Affair...Gaslight Anthem Top Debuts

Last week it seemed that compilations had reached a high point, taking both the now. 1 and 2 spots on the Billboard 200, but this week the music collections stepped it up a notch, adding spot no. 3 to the list. The last time the first three spots on the list were held by compilations was during 2009 when Now 30, Hannah Montana: The Movie and the original Twilight soundtrack held the positions.

This year marks a change in direction for the Australian traveling festival, as the action will occur over two days instead of one for the first time. Faith No More, Slipknot and Soundgarden are among the headliners listed.
Drive Like Jehu Playing First Show in Nearly 20 Years in San Diego...Is Full Reunion Tour Coming?

Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Tiësto and Avicii Top Forbes Highest-Paid EDM Performers List

Music Times caught Calvin Harris at Lollapalooza during the first weekend of August and noted that it seemed the DJ had invested his earning from last year-$46 million-into his elaborate and bright stage set. If our hypothesis that the size of his set directly reflects his earnings, next year's concerts will be off the charts: Harris topped Forbes' list of the highest earning electronic musicians for the second straight year, bringing a whopping $66 million over the last 12 months.
Rihanna, Katy Perry and Coldplay Super Bowl Top Choices...but NFL Wants Them to Pay for Halftime Show Privilege

Elvis Gone Metal: Covers from Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Danzig and More

Metal fans (and hopefully music fans in general) were thrilled to hear today that Glenn Danzig—frontman for his self-titled band, Samhain and of The Misfits—will be releasing an Elvis Presley covers album during 2015. It got us thinking: There are way too few Elvis covers out there played by metal bands. Discounting a band that's whole schtick is being half metal, half-Elvis (Volbeat), it's tough to find worthwhile Elvis covers in the metal world. We, for one, totally hope this changes.

Check out seven examples of performers who went solo and compare to see which album ended up being the better option, at least at the time.

LISTEN: Darkside Announces End of Group, Releases Two New Tracks from 'WORK' Compilation to Soothe Us

Broadway Developing Musical Based on Lives of Gloria Estefan and Emilio Estefan

Nothing makes for a more obvious adaptation to musical than a famous music performer's life, hence why we shouldn't be surprised to see Broadway working to create a stage play based on the lives-thus-far of Cuban-American performer Gloria Estefan and her husband, entrepreneur Emilio Estefan. On Your Feet! is scheduled to play preview shows during July of 2015.
Glenn Danzig Reports an Elvis Presley Covers EP Coming during 2015

We should have learned by now that stories about Glenn Danzig don't bring in the big hits, but we just can't stop from coming back. Everything about the guy, from lawsuits to proposed golden statues of him riding a dragon in Austin, is awesome. This week's tidbit: The former Misfits frontman will be releasing an extended play of Elvis Presley covers at some point during 2015.
New York Metropolitan Opera Struggles to Reach Labor Agreements with Unions as Lockout Deadline Looms

The New York Metropolitan Opera managed to come to labor agreements with two of its unions Monday morning, but that still leaves it ten unions short of having its working force nailed down. A spokesperson for the Met stated that the deadline for an agreement had been extended to Tuesday at midnight, which as you might have guessed, leaves the opera house in a tight spot to get those remaining agreements negotiated. If deals aren't reached, the Met could face a lockout and a cancellation of its upcoming season.

Two people will take particular pleasure in Brad Paisley's new music video: A) Children and B) that guy who's been sending you the links to every Annoying Orange episode since it was founded during 2009. Indeed the video for "Limes" features the country star transformed into a fruit of the title variety, interacting with the still creepy citrus.
Elton John and A Career of False Retirements: A Brief Chronological Look

On this date in 1984, Elton John shocked the world by telling fans everywhere that he was retiring. It's something that was less than shocking then and even less shocking if he did it in 2014 (which, he did), as Sir Elton has always seen fit to dangle his retirement in front of us just to make sure we're still paying attention. To honor the man that has long set the standard for false retirements—and inspiring Michael Jordan, Jay Z and Brett Favre in the process—we give you brief chronology of John's most famous bluffs.
40 Years of '461 Ocean Boulevard': Music Times Looks Back and Ranks Eric Clapton's Classic Record

Eric Clapton was due for a vacation after successfully kicking heroin during 1974. But his trip to Miami was far from a holiday.
