The best concerts in Denver this weekend

ALABAMA SHAKES @ OGDEN THEATRE | SAT, 3/9/13 A number of bands are returning to a Southern-rock sound these days, but much of the music they're making is too derivative to be interesting.

Chartbreaker: Jack White beats Adele in an otherwise slow sales week for albums

Music sales were slow last week. Jack White's debut solo album, Blunderbuss took the top spot with 138,000 copies sold -- that's less than half of what Madonna 's new one, MDNA , shifted its first week on the chart this time last month: 359,000 (although sales subsequently plummeted the following w ...

Chartbreaker: Madonna's MDNA falls harder than Lady Gaga's Born This Way did, while Nicki Minaj takes the top in the U.S. and U.K.

In the ultimate twist of "Give Me Some Luvin'" irony, Nicki Minaj has dethroned Madonna from the top of the Billboard 200 chart this week, as Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded easily takes the top spot with 253,000 copies sold, while Madge's MDNA dropped to number eight, selling only 48,000 in its second ...

Chartbreaker: Madonna's MDNA outsells Lionel Richie's Tuskegee (what year is this again?)

Madonna nabs the top spot on the Billboard 200 with her new album, MDNA.

MDNA shifted 359,000 copies, nearly 80,000 mo ... More >>

The tragedy of Lupe Fiasco's triumph

​Lupe Fiasco's Lasers was the album he didn't like and the label didn't want to release. It's a disaster of pandering, middle of the road pop from a rapper, who, at the very least, seemed full of fight until now. Most of the album couldn't hold its own in a crowd of flash-in-the-pan Top 40. La ... More >>

3OH!3 premiers new remix of "Starstrukk" with Katy Perry

​Katy Perry annoyed the hell out of us when she first came out with that damn "I Kissed a Girl" song. It was as annoying as it was inescapable.
