While many musical historians look at the 90s as the decade in which “alternative” and hip-hop music exploded from the underground into the mainstream, we here at VH1 haven’t forgotten that the decade was flush with a number of stone classic R&B tracks. Tonight at 9 p.m., VH1 will be airing the latest installment in [...]
Summer Jams: Mark Graham Picks Three Of His Fave “Song of the Summer” Candidates
Summer, summer, summertime…time to sit back and unwind. Hey, if that’s how Will Smith recommends to spend the months of June, July, and August, who am I to argue?

The Top 5 Things In The Hollywood Reporter‘s Article That Might Have Got Katy Perry Twisted
“Shame when trade magazines turn tabloid,” tweeted Katy Perry last night, likely in response to The Hollywood Reporter’s June cover story about her.

Summer Jams: Zara Golden Picks Three Of Her Fave “Song of the Summer” Candidates
Music sounds better in the summer, everyone knows this. It gets bigger, so we can bang it from our cars; and other times it gets weirder, because the sun’s got us spinning anyways.

The Top 5 Moments At The 2012 Billboard Music Awards
Last night’s Billboard Music Awards was an exhausting extravaganza, one that lasted for three full hours and still managed to feel a bit incomplete. Of course, it didn’t help the show’s cause that many of the biggest names in the music world — Adele, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Lady Gaga, to name just [...]
That Metal Debate: That Metal Show‘s Top 5 Black Sabbath Riffs
