• Saturday Night Fever: Old and New Party Mix

    When New Year's rolls around it's a time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future. With that in mind, this week's Saturday Night Fever playlist highlights some of the most iconic musicians and features songs from their past, even decades ago, and songs that they released this year.
  • Caitlin Carter's Playlist of 2013: Eminem, Paul McCartney, and Rich Homie Quan

    Music Times, like so many other music publications, was looking to publish a "Best of 2013" playlist. We met to discuss what such a playlist should include, and that's where we ran into trouble. We couldn't agree. Sometimes two of us just couldn't agree on whether the performer was amazing or terrible, and even when we agreed they were amazing, we couldn't agree on what track was most representative of their work. Hence it was decided that rather than try to agree (a seemingly impossible endeavor), everyone would get their own "favorites of 2013" playlist. We won't argue that these are neccesarily the best tracks of the last year, but they're definitely songs that caught our respective attention and caused us to hit 'repeat" over and over and over again

  • Can Miley Cyrus Catch a 'Lightning Bolt' on Charts?

    Forgive us if we're bracing for next week; Katy Perry's Prism is set to drop and it could give Justin Timberlake's first 2013 release a run for the biggest opening frame of the year. Last week's Top 10 was still overrun by new albums however, so we should probably give them credit before Perry-pocalypse sets in.
  • Kate Moss and Johnny Depp to Star in Paul McCartney Music Video
