Where It’s ATT Recruit Rich DietZ for Gritty Tech House Remix of “Thunder”
Two formidable electronic music duos have collided for a remix of epic proportions. Where It’s ATT and Rich DietZ may produce different styles of dance music, but with the same flavor of grit and badassery, they’re kindred spirits. And their respective artistries have now collided with Rich DietZ’s remix of “Thunder,” a down-and-dirty house jam for the clubs. The original “Thunder” is a swaggy midtempo number that fuses dark bass elements with Where It’s ATT’s unique hip-hop flair. Conventions be damned, Rich DietZ decided to dial up the track’s BPM and flip the arrangement on its head, dropping a typically infectious tech house anthem. Rich DietZ did a brilliant job maintaining the G-house vibes of the original, rei...

A 6′ 11″ former NBA star-turned-DJ and Diddy walk into a bar.

Billboard Explains: The American Music Awards
The American Music Awards is considered the world’s largest fan-voted awards show, but it hasn’t always worked that way. After Dick Clark created the ABC broadcasted show in 1973, the show sought to distinguish itself from the peer-voted Grammys by focusing on what music fans bought and listened to. The exact way of measuring that popularity has evolved over the years. In recent years, nominations became based on key fan interactions as reflected on the Billboard charts, including streaming, album sales, song sales and radio airplay. These measurements are tracked by Billboard and its data partner MRC Data, and cover the time period Sept. 25, 2020, through Sept. 23, 2021. But how did the fans become responsible for picking the winners? And who gets to pick the performers for each show...

Song of the Week: “Oh My God,” Adele’s Back!
Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify Top Songs playlist. For our favorite new songs from emerging artists, check out our Spotify New Sounds playlist. This week, Adele keeps us on our toes with the refreshing “Oh My God” from her new album 30.

The promise of Sad Girl Autumn was realized when she dropped “Easy On Me” in October. There were certain expectations around 30, which is here in full today, November 19th, and Adele put them to rest with an album that is, in many places, surprising and sonically diverse. “I Drink Wine,” “Hold On,” and “To Be Loved” are all abs...
