    Radio Hits One: VH1 Takes On The '00s Pop Canon

    VH1 spent last week counting down what the channel, and its panel of celebrities and "experts," consider The 100 Greatest Songs of The '00s.

    100 & Single: The Increase In Hot 100 Rebounders, And The iTunes-Radio Tug Of War

    Live: Katy B Launches Her Mission At Le Bain

    Katy B Le Bain Monday, June 27 Better than: Whatever David Guetta's up to right now.

    100 & Single: How Adele, Not the Beatles, Is The Music Biz's 2011 Redeemer

    ​ The music business spikes the football over its gradually improving sales the same week a certain U.K. chanteuse completes her conquering of the U.S. pop charts. Coincidence? Maybe not. The omnipresent Adele takes control of Billboard's Hot 100 this week; "Rolling in the Deep" finally evict ... More >>

    The Voice: Blake Shelton Is Unimpressed, Xtina Likes To "Woo"

    ​A week into The Voice, and some problems are starting to materialize. During backstage interviews, Carson Daly doesn't just stand there; he hovers.

    Surveying the Dr. Luke Moment: A Critical Look At Lazers, Glitter, and the Un-Sexing of America's Pop Stars

    On May 7, Katy Perry debuted "California Gurls," the first single from her forthcoming album, Teenage Dream. It was a cleverly-engineered, synchronized piece of pop craft--a classic no-chances move--and it had to be: there were things riding on this song. Things like the viability of Perry as a bo ...
