    100 & Single: Is It Okay For Katy Perry To Bum-Rush Her Way Into The History Books?

    ​Chart fandom makes strange bedfellows. Six months ago, if you'd asked me what act I'd root for in a head-to-head chart battle between pop princess Katy Perry and electrodance goofballs LMFAO, I'd probably have picked Perry, whose song catalog includes at least one or two gems. Her current hit ... More >>

Track our progress here. ​If the New York Times called Liz Phair's 2003 pop album "an embarrassing form of career suicide," then "Bollywood" is her ghost coming back to toilet paper her grave.

    Times Talks Vinyl with J&R, Best Buy; Downtown Record Store Owner Has a Different Take
