8 Victims of MC Hammer: Madonna, Vanilla Ice, AC/DC and More
MC Hammer took his first step to the top of the Billboard 200 on this date 25 years ago with Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em , the hip-hop album that would introduce the world to "U Can't Touch This" and help the rapper to maintain a place at the top of the charts for 21 weeks, interrupted only once. That's impressive but it makes us feel bad for all of the other performers who were denied a no. 1 album by that craze. Nothing tops a best-selling album for musicians but Hammer wasn't trying to give his spot up. Music Times checked out the eight albums that took the no. 2 spot during Don't Hurt 'Em's run, from Madonna to Vanilla Ice, and listed them from least weeks to most in second place. -

This week during 1990 marked a new high for female musicians everywhere, as all five of the top songs on the Hot 100 were performed by women.

Ranking PMRC's 'Filthy 15': Madonna, Prince and More Get Dirty
Tipper Gore and a group of other (socially) conservative and influential women gathered 30 years ago to organize the PMRC (or Parents Music Research Center) after listening to the travesty that was Prince's "Darling Nikki."

Music Times is ranking those first 15 songs in terms of potential for wrecking lives. -
