I attended my first Grammys in 2008. My cousin was trying to recruit me to go to college in Los Angeles, so he got tickets for my mom and I. He knew how much I loved music and what it would mean to me. There’s a short, uncovered section of walkway between the end of […]

The heavily memed and remixed “Old Town Road,” which took home the awards for Best Music Video and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at Sunday’s Grammys ceremony, expectedly hit the stage via a star-stacked performance at the Alicia Keys-hosted broadcast. Lil Nas X opened the performance sitting next to a Kobe Bryant jersey, before being joined onstage by […]

Billie Eilish has made Grammys history. The 18-year-old has become the youngest artist to sweep all four major categories at this year’s ceremony: Record of the Year (“bad guy”) Song of the Year (“bad guy”), Best New Artist, and Album of the Year (WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?). During her acceptance speech […]

Demi Lovato took the stage at the 2020 Grammy Awards to debut “Anyone” in what was her first live performance since nearly dying of an overdose in July of 2018. Lovato revealed to Zane Lowe in an interview for Beats 1 that her new song was written and recorded a mere four days before her near-fatal incident.  Listening back to the […]

Mac Miller‘s posthumously released Circles opens at No. 3 on the latest Billboard 200 chart update with 164,000 equivalent album units. Circles is the first (and likely lone) posthumous album from Mac, who died in 2018. It was preceded by his fifth album Swimming, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album but ultimately lost out […]

Halsey was the musical guest on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live, and performed two songs off her brand new album Manic. She began with the first single off Manic, “You Should Be Sad’.” For her second song, Halsey turned it down a notch with her slow burn anthem “Finally // Beautiful Stranger.” She […]

There’s no question that Lizzo was one of 2019’s biggest breakout stars. The 31-year-old entertainer topped Billboard charts, earned multiple platinum certifications, and secured the most nominations for the 62nd annual Grammy Awards. But as many other artists have learned, mainstream popularity can often lead to more hate—especially on social media. Back in September, Azealia Banks penned a lengthy […]

Recently suspended Recording Academy president and CEO Deborah Dugan, who was the first woman to hold the title, says the voting system for the Grammys is “rigged.” In charge of discrimination documents filed with the Los Angeles district office for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Dugan alleged exactly how the Grammys voting process is “ripe [sic] […]

Fresh off releasing the track’s official Anton Tammi-directed video, The Weeknd dropped in on Jimmy Kimmel Live proceedings on Wednesday night to deliver a live performance of the 2020 era cut. As has been the case thus far with other TV performances from this era of Abel, he was very much in character for the […]

Selena Gomez and Roddy Ricch have been duking it out for the top spot on the Billboard 200, and Gomez has prevailed. But it was a close one. Billboard reports the singer-songwriter’s third album Rare debuted at No. 1 with 112,000 equivalent album units earned. Roddy’s Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial project, which has placed on the chart for five […]
