A Timeline of Kanye West & Kid Cudi’s Relationship
Kid Cudi and Kanye West have had a rocky relationship over the course of their careers. The frequent collaborators have at times been friends, performing and dining together, and other times dissing each other on social media. Cudi was signed to West’s G.O.O.D. Music label in 2008 after meeting West a few years earlier. West was then featured on “Make Her Say (I Poke Her Face),” Cudi’s single from his 2009 album Man on the Moon: The End of Day — the studio set that launched Cudi’s career under G.O.O.D. Prior to his solo material, Cudi had also contributed to Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 and West’s 808s & Heartbreak. Other collabs between the two artists include “Erase Me” from 2010’s Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager; “Gorgeou...
All the Acts With Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 Hits in Four or More Decades
Never mind 15 minutes of fame. How about four or more decades? An elite 11 artists have achieved top 10 placements on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in four or more decades, led by Andy Williams and Michael Jackson, with top 10 ranks in five decades each. Williams extended his top 10 Hot 100 run (1950s, ’60s, ’70s, 2010s and ’20s) thanks to his holiday perennial “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” while Jackson (1970s, ’80s, ’90s, 2000s and ’10s) most recently ranked in the region via his featured turn on Drake‘s “Don’t Matter to Me” in 2018. (Jackson also appeared in the top 10 for a week in the ’60s, although not as a soloist; The Jackson 5, with him as a member, first reached the bracket with “I Want You Back” on the chart dated Dec. 27, 1969.) In addition to Williams, four a...
A Timeline of Snoop Dogg’s History With K-Pop
Throughout his decades in the music business, Snoop Dogg has shown love for music genres across the spectrum. From his hip-hop start with the Billboard 200 No. 1 album Doggystyle to charting on the Gospel and reggae charts, Snoop has proven himself to be a multifaceted music star. While the Korean pop scene may not seem like an obvious connection for Snoop Dogg, the rapper has been mixing it up with K-pop artists for more than a decade. Earlier this year, Snoop told viewers on American Song Contest that “K-pop is my guilty pleasure” while he hosted the NBC singing competition alongside Kelly Clarkson. From teaming up with girl groups like Girls’ Generation and 2NE1 in the ’00s to sharing his expertise with Korean rappers like WINNER’s Mino, Basick and Superbee, Snoop has continuously lent ...
Madonna’s Top 20 Songs
This article originally ran in 2014 and has been updated in honor of Madonna’s birthday on August 16th. Here’s a funny picture: In July 1983, metalheads and popsters all stormed into their closest Sam Goody, where they likely collided head first in the aisle at M whilst clamoring for Kill ‘Em All or Madonna. Parents scoffed at the time, but either party held the debut album to the future leader of their respective genres. Wild, huh? It’s almost like something out of a Far Side comic; the two most opposite musical forces, both then and today, essentially born as twins. Cowabunga. Of course, as history goes, Madonna’s self-titled debut didn’t exactly blow out the mall doors upon arrival. The album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 123, and it wasn’t until over a year later that it peaked… at ...
‘The Voice’ Winners: Which Coach & Singer Won Each Season?
NBC’s The Voice just wrapped its 21st season, which saw Ariana Grande joining the panel as a coach for her first season. In the upcoming season, Camila Cabello is set to replace the “Positions” singer in the spinning red chairs. Over the reality singing competition’s history, Blake Shelton remains the statistically best coach in terms of winning seasons — having crowned a champ from his team in eight of the show’s 21 seasons. When The Voice premiered as NBC’s answer to FOX’s juggernaut American Idol, the inaugural cast of coaches consisted of Christina Aguilera, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, Shelton, and CeeLo Green. (Shelton is the only coach to have stayed on the rotating panel since the beginning of the hit show.) Apart from Shelto...
The 50 Best Albums of 1982
Looking back at 1982 in music, the headline is obvious: Thriller Sells A Bajillion Copies, Becomes World’s Biggest Album. But is it the year’s best album? Funny enough, Michael Jackson‘s sixth LP hardly even affected the charts that year — it snuck out in late November, just as Men at Work’s 1981 blockbuster, Business as Usual, began its commercial stranglehold in the U.S. Only one record on our list, Fleetwood Mac‘s chart-targeted Tusk follow-up, Mirage, hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. (Doesn’t it seem weird, looking back, that Prince‘s 1999 peaked at No. 9?) Lots of fascinating shit was happening in 1982, and you didn’t always find it on the radio. On our list, we included everything from early hip-hop (Grandmaster Flash) to horror-punk (Misfits) to lo-fi synth-pop (Solid Space). Revisit...
7 Vital Online Gaming Safety Tips for Kids & Adults
Sourced from LearnBonds. Following the recent leakage revealing how hyper-popular game Roblox moderates content, cybersecurity experts from antivirus provider Kaspersky has shared a few insights on what cyber threats can harm users, and especially children, in the online gaming space and how these users can protect themselves. The leaked documents give insight into the targeting of children by predators on the platform and how the platform attempts to fight child grooming. Additionally, one issue identified in the documents is that although Roblox’s systems scan 100 percent of submitted abuse reports, only around 10 percent of those are actionable. This suggests that even on a gaming platform, where content is moderated, there remain a large number of risks for children when they game onli...

10 Post-2000 Indie Albums You Forgot You Kinda Dig
This article originally ran in 2014 and has been updated. For more ’00s nostalgia, check out our Whatever Happened To…? series. In 2001, after years of Korn and Britney tyranny, it suddenly became cool to make guitar music again. If you were in a band, you had your choice of two sounds: garage rock and dance-punk. That may be oversimplifying things a bit, but in the wake of the Strokes, the White Stripes, Interpol, and Franz Ferdinand, an awful lot of groups jumped on one of those bandwagons. A lot of them wore conductor hats, and most were pretty terrible. But some were actually decent, and their CDs — as in compact discs, as in you bought ’em at Best Buy for $9.99 — were the soundtrack to an era everyone seems to have forgotten. It’s time we dig out the following 10 albums and make ‘00s ...
