This Week’s Top 10
Another week is in the books and it’s now time to take a look at what the spins are telling us. The Mediabase charts are out, so let’s take a look at them. We have no changes inside the top four, with the hits from Shinedown, Pop Evil, Foo Fighters, and Nothing More all staying […]
Two New Songs in the Top 10
The Mediabase charts are out and we see two new songs inside the top 10, something that we haven’t seen in a while. These two new songs are “Spirits” by The Strumbellas and “Saint Cecilia” by the Foo Fighters. They come in at nine and 10 this week, and are likely to see their stock […]
Glastonbury Festival Update
Glastonbury Festival’s founder, Michael Eavis, has spoken up about the upcoming festival and has given us some much needed updates. For one, the Foo Fighters will not be in attendance when the time comes. They’ve never performed at the festival, and unfortunately, this year will not be the year they break that streak. One band […]
Vevo Looking to Expand
Vevo is a website widely known for their work in showing music videos and the commercials that come with them. One thing they’re exploring is creating an ad-free subscription, which Pandora, YouTube Red and others have done in the past. The biggest difference being that Pandora is popular on smartphones, while Vevo is an Internet […]
A New Number One
This week we’re seeing a brand new number one according to Mediabase, and I think we can “blame” that on the big NFL game that occurred almost two weeks ago. We have seen a rise in the rankings since that appearance by Coldplay during halftime, and now they sit at number one for the first […]
Florence + the Machine’s Streak Continues

Well, Florence + the Machine is certainly one of them especially after the Grammys that occurred on Monday night. Florence + the Machine has been nominated for seven Grammys since 2011, but has never stood on […]
James Bay’s Tough Night
The 58th Annual Grammy Awards was a bittersweet night for many artists. On the one hand, it’s an honor just to be in attendance and up for an award. On the other hand though, these artists and bands are here because they want to win. Their competitive drive is part of what makes them an […]
Shaking It Up
The Alabama Shakes came into the 58th Annual Grammy Awards with four nominations, but we’re not sure many thought they’d be celebrated as much as they were during the show. The band came away with three awards! Their wins include Best Rock Performance (Don’t Wanna Fight), Best Rock Song (Don’t Wanna Fight), and Best Alternative […]
Rocking Headlines
It’s the start of the workweek, which we aren’t too excited about, but it’s time to cheer up. We have some rock headlines that are sure to entertain you. Imagine Dragons has found a rather unique way to help fight cancer. They have themselves a game app called ‘STAGE RUSH: Imagine Dragons” and will be […]
