Vote For The Weekly Top Ten Wild Card
On last Saturday’s Weekly Top Ten, one of our Wild Card selections peaked at second place. Unfortunately, Ms. Florence Welch is now resting in the seventh spot, but there’s still time to
Weekly Top Ten: Invasion of The Slow Jams
To say that "slow jams" are invading our Weekly Top Ten may be a bit of a misrepresentation. Even so, the latest entries on our charts are a little less dance-tastic than what you're used to, so we'll see if the newbies can keep up […]
Aural Only: Alicia Keys
How are we feeling about the new Alicia Keys single, "Doesn't Mean Anything"? To be completely honest, I don't think it's her best work. It sounds like a paint-by-numbers version of what an Alicia Keys song should sound like, to the point that it doesn't […]

Alicia Keys Set to Perform at American Music Awards
Gotta love Ms. Keys and her diamond studded cowboy boots. Maybe only Elvis or Liberace could've pulled off the same footwear, but I'll bet she has way cuter (and less smelly) feet. Alicia Keys will be performing at the American Music Awards on Nov. 23, […]
