  • 7 Longest Hip-Hop Streaks At No. 1: Eminem, The Black Eyed Peas, Wiz Khalifa

    Yesterday we learned that Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth had matched hip-hop history by topping the Hot 100 for a 12th week with "See You Again," the pair's smash from the Furious 7 soundtrack. The genre has come a long way since Blondie landed the first rap atop the Hot 100 during 1980 (yeah, Blondie) but still: Only seven hip-hop songs have managed to spend at least 10 weeks on top of arguably the biggest chart in music. Join us as we count up from fewest weeks to most weeks at no. 1, and check back next Wednesday to see if Khalifa and co. manage to take history a step further.

  • Kanye West 'Swish' Leaks: Tracklist Features Bruno Mars, Big Sean

    Kanye West's new album Swish still doesn't have a release date, new single or other further details but the Yeezus follow-up has already potentially leaked online. Last night (July 7), a fan on Reddit posted a low-quality version of Mr. Kim Kardashian's latest effort and a potential tracklist has followed suit with guest spots from Bruno Mars, Big Sean and Paul McCartney.

  • Kanye West's Hilarious Glastonbury BBC Censorsed Captions Go Viral

    Music Times has already reported about how some UK media outlets went over the top in their reporting on Kanye West's headlining set at Glastonbury over the weekend, but we promise that this news bit is 100 percent worth it: The captions supplied by the BBC for the televised version of his performance have justifiably "gone viral."

  • Kanye West's Yeezy Boosts 350 Sneakers Sold Out Less Than an Hour After Release

    Kanye West's new sneakers, Yeezy Boosts 350, have already sold out in Canada, US, and Europe. If Kanye West was upset about the stage-crasher during his Glastonbury performance last night, the overnight (well, actually faster) success of his new Yeezy Boosts 350 sneakers will surely make him forget all about it.

  • Are Kanye West, Young Thug Making An Album Together?

    Kanye West is currently dominating headlines for his performance at Glastonbury, having gone about it just about as one might expect from Yeezy, making claims like he "is the greatest living rock star on the planet" (individuals like Robert Plant and Paul McCartney might disagree). However off the stage, Kanye is working fastidiously on new music and there could be a whole batch of tracks coming with Atlanta rapper Young Thug. According to a new cover story in Rolling Out, Thugger reveals that he and West might have a new album in the works together and that the SWISH rapper calls the Slime Season rapper Bob Marley.

  • Kanye West's Glastonbury Performance Inspires 10 Headlines on NME.com

    Music publications can be accused of lingering on one subject for way too long. Music Times is just as guilty as any. British publications typically go nuts during the weekend of Glastonbury, arguably the world's most-hyped music festival. The 2015 version of events has set a new absurd high as music writers obsess over every breath Kanye West took during his much-ballyhooed set. So much so that ten different headlines at NME published on Sunday featured the words "Kanye West" in their headlines...plus another two or three where West was the main image for the article.
