The Video Vanguard Award is the most prestigious honor a musician can take home from the MTV Video Music Awards.

It’s an honor, bestowed upon everyone from Michael and Janet Jackson to Britney Spears, Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Beyonce, that recognizes artists who have consistently delivered cutting edge and game-changing visuals.

This year’s recipient is Shakira, who fits right in with the game-changing icons who have already taken home the Moon Person. She is truly a deserving winner, but we’re already thinking about who should receive the Video Vanguard Award next year at the 2024 MTV VMAs.

We put together a poll so that you could let us know who deserves the honor most!

There have been 21 seasons of American Idol so far (with another coming next year) and throughout those two decades, there have been 14 different people who have sat behind the judges table.

The longest reign in the judges chair is 12 seasons while three different judges only appeared on one season. We bet you totally forgot that some of these people were even on the show!

Another fun fact is that only three seasons of American Idol have had four judges while the other 17 seasons all had just three judges.

One thing that has remained constant throughout all 21 seasons is that Ryan Seacrest has been the host every single year. The first season he co-hosted with Brian Dunkleman and then he was a solo host for the remaining 19 seasons.

The concept of the Song of the Summer has become omnipresent in recent years, but Billboard has been tracking the data since 1958.

As the weather heats up outside, many of our favorite artists begin to churn out bops and bangers that rocket up the charts. Each year, only one of them can become the defining anthem of the summer.

Billboard unveiled the Song of the Summer for 2023 on Tuesday (September 5). This year Morgan Wallen‘s “Last Night” took the top spot.

In honor of the announcement, we looked back on Billboard’s charts to determine what song dominated the charts each summer from 2003 until 2023. We even noted the bop that came in second place each year! In the case of 2023, we rounded up the Top 5.

While looking back, we noticed that only three artists in the last 21 years were able to claim the Song of the Summer more than once. Can you guess who?

Some people are wasting no time getting in the Christmas spirit.

A Mariah Carey fan page tracking her streams noted on Saturday (September 2) that fans have already begun streaming her classic hit, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

“@MariahCarey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ received 316K streams on Spotify yesterday, a 75% increase compared to the same day in 2022,” the account wrote.

It takes an incredible amount of talent to make it in the music industry, but it takes so much more to find crossover success in the acting world.

Of course, so many of music’s biggest stars have pulled it off. Take Jennifer Lopez for example. She’s just as well known for her floor-filling chart-toppers as for her blockbuster movies!

However, just like any other actor in Hollywood, even the most talented pop star actor isn’t going to get every part they audition for.

That was the case for these 17 pop stars who auditioned for parts in critically acclaimed movies but didn’t get the role. We pulled together everything we know about each audition, including who ultimately got the part.

Music can bring people together, even across generations. However, a song can also tear them apart.

Some music is so polarizing, for a variety of reasons, that it might lead to a lawsuit.

Over the years, a multitude of major hits have had their day in court. Often, the artist responsible for the hit has been sued by another musician who feels that they’ve been ripped off or had their copyright infringed upon.

For instance, take the legal battle over “Blurred Lines,” which played out extensively in the press over the years. We promise more details on that are to come, by the way.

But Robin Thick and Pharrell Williams‘ hit wasn’t the only example in recent memory. Some artists have even been sued multiple times.

We gathered together 15 songs in total that have led to a lawsuit and provided an update on how things ended up working out.
