Let's not stick to people who literally had one hit, necessarily, but who became defined by one hit and never quite surpassed it in the public's eyes, even if they had some other reasonable successes. I.e., they pretty much coasted. The folks at datalounge came up with the following names (and I'v ... More >>
Hey: Albums! In case people still care about these things, here's a batch of potentially interesting releases arriving in the calendar year.
Sorry to throw salt in your New Year's revelry, but as something begins, so too something ends. And that makes us think about death. Because we're sick. And practical. Sickly practical. Practically sick. ANYWAY, the imminence of death begs an essential question: how will you be buried? It's never ... More >>

Aussie hunk Chris Hemsworth, 28, has played chesty roles in Star Trek and Thor and he has a million more large-scale movies coming out, but the main things you need to know about him are: *His brother Liam is dating Miley Cyrus.
Maybe it's all that misguided Year of the Woman chatter that dominated year-end roundups, or the slow, agonizing creep of Fashion Week, or the coming apocalypse, but hoo boy has there been a lot of terrible writing about female musicians in the past few weeks. The latest offender is the New Y ... More >>
Today Amnesty International releases Chimes Of Freedom, a really, really huge compilation of bob Dylan covers by artists both canonized and obscure. Trying to analyze such a huge undertaking can only be done in one way: Mathematically. Amount of music in this collection: 73 songs on four CD ... More >>
Here is a fun sentence to type: Miley Cyrus released a video in support of Occupy Wall Street! The clip, posted Saturday, pairs a remix of her 2010 song "Liberty Walk" with footage from the Occupy protests, and is so incongruous that when I first saw it I spent about five minutes verifying th ...

And if they do, at least pay the kids scale

Tonight they hit Santos Party House for their second-ever NYC performance, but tomorrow's the big one: Th ... More >>
She's been held up as some supposed role model for billions by puritanical types who will surely drive her to a nuthouse if they keep up with their absurd demands. Let the girl grow up! Miley is a good role model if she shows the world that she lives and breathes and experiments and grows l ... More >>

Last night, the Canadian industry savior and haircut titan Justin Bieber overcame a cold and a guest appearance from Sean Kingston to sell out Madison Square Garden.

Miley's musical taste inspires a cabaret
via New York TimesKids, Miley is only Hannah Montana when she has the blond wig on -- gosh, how many times do your parents have to explain? So, when she's owning stripper poles, strutting her stuff in mesh everything, and dating older guys, she's no longer Hannah Montana. Got it? Except, not ... More >>

The shrugging-off-Disney phase begins with the sadly wan Can't Be Tamed
A week of the very best Latin alternative music
Usher's Raymond Vs. Raymond took the top spot on the albums chart this week, selling 329,000 copies in the wake of its March 30 release. But once again, this week's chart-related headlines belong to the impeccably blow-dried Canadian singer Justin Bieber. The Usher protégé and native Ontari ... More >>
Canadian teenpopper Justin Bieber bows at the top of this week's Billboard 200 with My World 2.0, which sold 283,000 copies in its first week at stores.

Grizzly Bear, major cultural force in this country: the second Twilight soundtrack sold 153,000 copies this week, good for #1 and easily enough to knock international cipher Michael Buble to the three spot, where he plays runner up to Tim McGraw's Southern Voice, debuting at No. 2 with 137,00 ...

Crazy Love is still very much #1 in the country. But The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack--a goofy melange of what's warm in indie right now, e.g. Lykke Li, Grizzly Bear, Thom Yorke, etc.--sold 115,000 copies, good for #2. Those bands selling that many records would be stunning if this wer ... More >>
--Them Crooked Vultures surprised fans by playing Belgium's Pukkelpop music festival yesterday (check out fan reports here). The band played the second stage between sets by Beirut and Wilco.

On September 26, Vienna will be home not to just mountains of high-caloric wiener schnitzel, but to scads of bad-for-you stars singing their love for Michael Jackson so they can gain a mass televised audience and revive their careers. It's basically the memorial all over again, but without al ... More >>
There are nude pictures out there, allegedly of Ashley Greene (Twilight), and her attorneys are scouring the internet with bolos made out of lawsuits to keep them from public view. (WWTDD seems to have a special dispensation to publish them -- run, you bastards!) As The Inquistr points out, this h ... More >>
We were tempted to discard this as an April Fool's Day joke, too, but the Queens Gazette doesn't roll like that, so we believe them when they say that the pop band Push Play (warning: link plays horrible noise), "an opening act for Miley Cyrus and featured on Radio Disney," came to P.S. 151's Career ...

Quotes from the Food and Agriculture Summit included, "What I think the consumer wants is value at point of sale. They don't want a lot of fancy promotions. They don't want a lot of double packs.

I've got to admit to being a big fan of gummy candies, especially the super-sour type developed a decade or so ago. Nothing like a big hit of citric acid to set your teeth on edge. I know, of course, that gummies are not vegetarian--the gelatin in these gentle treats often derives from anima ... More >>
