• Jay Z Probably Bought Beyonce a 'Game of Thrones' Dragon Egg, According to Emilia Clarke

    Stars... they're just like us because they love Game of Thrones. But, if you're one of the biggest moguls in hip-hop, you don't just have to watch the show every Sunday night on HBO, you can take a piece of the set home with you for your collection. At least that's what Jay Z reportedly did for Beyoncé, if Daenerys Targarean herself Emilia Clarke is to be believed.

  • Jay Z, Diddy & Dr. Dre Top Forbes Hip-Hop Cash Kings List: Who Rounds Out Top 5?

    Forbes has unveiled its cash kings list for the richest men in hip-hop and the numbers continue to grow at a remarkable rate. Dr. Dre clocked in as the wealthiest man in the genre last year when word began to spread about the sale of Beats to Apple for a whopping $3.2 billion. That number was later revised down to $3 billion and he went on to declare he was hip-hop's first billionaire. However, with his 25% stake in the company and after taxes, he "only" accrued a $500 million windfall. That left the door open for a rise in revenue from 2014's second place artist, Diddy, who has risen to the number one spot in the 2015 hip-hop cash kings list. Jay Z, 50 Cent and Cash Money's Birdman round out the rest of the list.

  • One Direction, Katy Perry Top Billboard's Music 'Money Makers' List [FULL LIST]

    Forbes is usually the go-to for celebrity earnings and net worth but Billboard has assembled its own "money makers" list based exclusively on what performers brought in from musical earnings, such as live revenues and album sales (no sponsorship money or other other jobs outside of the industry...sorry Dr. Dre).

  • Axwell / Ingrosso, Alesso Manager Amy Thomson Open Letter To Jay Z On TIDAL

    The jury is still out on TIDAL, but if there is one thing they have been good at doing is starting a conversation.

Artists like Mumford & Sons and Lily Allen have all shared their own input, saying it would only benefit the elite mainstream artists, echoed by many fans that have seen the company rollout with 16 of the biggest names in music there to back the product. Amy Thomson, founder of ATM Artists, who was the manager of Swedish House Mafia and currently overseas artists like Axwell / Ingrosso, Dirty South and Alesso, penned an open letter for Thump on her thoughts for how Jay Z can turn the tide in his favor.

  • 8 Oasis No. 1 UK Hits: 'Don't Look Back In Anger,' 'The Hindu Times,' 'Lyla' and More

The band ended up topping the UK singles charts seven more times throughout its career (and only getting as high as no. 8 on the U.S. charts). Here are those no. 1 singles...be prepared for a few surprises (in terms of what didn't make it, if anything).
