• A$AP Rocky No. 1 on Billboard 200 Again; Boosie BadAzz, Hillsong United Follow

    Another hip-hop performer takes the top spot on the Billboard 200 with a surprise album as A$AP Rocky and At.Long.Last.A$AP debuts with 146,000 equivalent units in its first week. That may seem like more than his last album, Long.Live.A$AP (which also debuted at no. 1), however that album opened with 139,000 actual copies sold, while the new Billboard metrics also take single downloads and streams into consideration. In that light, A.L.L.A. only sold 117,000 copies. Of course, week two could also be strong due to the surprise nature of the release.

  • Ed Sheeran Covers Iron Maiden, Ty Dolla Sign, Limp Bizkit on 'Fallon' [WATCH]

    If you want to crush skulls but don't want to necessarily listen to skull-crushing music, Ed Sheeran has got you covered. Last night (June 1), the "Photograph" singer rolled out a series of heavy metal covers during a cheesy infomercial commercial on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In the video, he covers the hard cutting music of Limp Bizkit, Iron Maiden and more with the ginger touch of acoustic guitar.

  • Twenty One Pilots Top Billboard 200, Taylor Swift Recovers Big Time Post-Awards

    Yet another new performer to top the Billboard 200 as Twenty One Pilots takes the top spot with Blurryface, which sold more than 147,000 equivalent units. That makes the Columbus, OH-based alt group the seventh act to top the charts for the first time during 2015 (including bigger bands such as Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons).

  • Wiz Khalifa 'See You Again' Holds No. 1 on Hot 100: The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran See Gains

    After a few weeks of gains, losses and shakeups on the Billboard Hot 100, this week (May 13), things return to business as usual with a largely stagnant chart. For the fifth week in a row, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's Furious 7 single "See You Again" owns the charts, with releases from Fetty Wap, Mark Ronson and Walk The Moon holding tight onto their top five posisions.

  • Mumford & Sons Top Billboard 200, 'Fifty Shades' Gets Mother's Day Boost

    Mumford & Sons remains a rock band to beat on the Billboard 200, gathering its second no. 1 record with Wilder Mind. Although the band's original alternative fan base has raised an eyebrow at the use of electric guitars on the new set, sales still came out to 249,000-trailing only Drake and Kendrick Lamar for biggest debut of 2015 thus far. Although nothing to frown at, it's still a relatively low sales figure for Mumford, which sold 600,000 copies of Babel when that album dropped during 2012.
