    People must have forgotten about Missy Elliott.

  • Super Bowl's Most Shazamed Songs: What Commercial Soundtracks Got Most Interest? Car Commercials Do Best

    Advertisers paid more than $4.5 million per 30 seconds of airtime during the Super Bowl last night so they like to know that their wares get people's attention. One way to do this is to examine what soundtracks get Shazamed, or searched using music identification service Shazam.

  • One of Katy Perry's Dancing Sharks From Her Super Bowl Halftime Performance Did an AMA

    The Northeastern and Northwestern sections of the United States wake up in different moods this morning, but for the rest of us without a stake in the fight, we have been left with some interesting images from the Super Bowl. Many will remember Darrell Bevell's terrible call on the goal line to call quick slants when Marshawn Lynch could have punched that in, but Katy Perry's halftime show had some interesting visual pieces that will make forgetting Bevell a little easier. One of the most iconic members of her halftime show were the two sharks that flanked the "Roar" singer as she sang "California Gurls" with a playful, tropical backdrop of palm trees, beach balls and, infamously, two dancing sharks. One of the sharks just did a brief Reddit AMA -- which is below -- and answered a few of the burning questions fans have for the veteran of the Katy Perry crew.

  • Seattle vs. New England: Spotify Compares and Contrasts Music Listening in Super Bowl Competitiors' Hometowns

    Music Times made an attempt several weeks ago to predict the winner of the Super Bowl based on quality of albums coming out of the regions represented in the AFC and NFC Championship Games. So far so good: Seattle is facing New England, as we predicted, but will the Seahawks triumph? Who knows? Not Spotify. The music streaming service did use its numbers-tracking technology to create two playlists of songs representing the performers that listeners in the respective regions listen in far greater numbers than their foes on the opposite coast.
