The winners of the 2012 Billboard Music Awards were announced during tonight’s (May 20) show, held at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Justin Bieber won the first award of the night, taking home the prize for Top Social Artist thanks to his 22 million plus followers on Twitter and the 43 million ‘Likes’ he has on Facebook. Katy Perry was also honored in the beginning of the 2012 Billboard Music A

Get ready, Team Breezy! Chris Brown has just been added to the superstar lineup set to perform at this year’s Billboard Music Awards.

Usher is ready to brawl on the cover of the new issue of industry trade mag Billboard. He is putting up his dukes and is ready for a fight … at least in his pose. Usher, thanks to his music, strikes us as a lover, not a fighter.

It’s hard to believe with all of his success that Justin Bieber had never had Top 10 radio hit up until now. But it’s true. He has just notched his very first Top 10 single with the blazing hot ‘Boyfriend,’ which shifted two spots from 12 to 10 on the Billboard airplay charts this week. Congrats, Biebs!

Some of the performers slated for the 2012 Billboard Music Awards have been announced, and oh this lineup is gooood! Justin Bieber is set to perform at the event, which will be held Sunday, May 20. So will LMFAO, the Wanted and Carrie Underwood. What a mix!

Adele, LMFAO and Rihanna lead the nominations for the 2012 Billboard Awards, which take place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand and will be broadcast live Sunday May 20 at 8 PM ET on ABC.

Congratulations Beyonce! The proud mama has another reason to glow: She earned her sixth No. 1 single on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts!

Drake can now proudly boasts that he has the most No. 1 rap songs than any other rapper in the game. The Young Money superstar notched his 11th No. 1 with the Nicki Minaj-assisted track ‘Make Me Proud,’ which landed atop the latest Billboard Rap Songs chart.

‘We Found Love,’ the longest-reigning No. 1 single of Rihanna‘s career, rules the Billboard Hot 100 for the second consecutive week and 10th week overall.

As part of their annual year-end music industry report, Billboard and the Nielsen Company recently tallied up the all-time sales totals for the Soundscan era, and their updated Top 10 list includes some of the heaviest hitters in the history of rock, pop, and country — including PopCrush favorites Mariah Carey and Eminem, who placed third and seventh, respectively.

This will come as no surprise, but Beyonce and Jay-Z‘s five-day-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, is already a star. Just hours after being brought into the world, proud papa Jay-Z rushed into the recording studio with audio of his little miracle, breathing, cooing and crying from the hospital. The track was tacked onto the end of his newly released tune, ‘Glory,’ which has already made its own entra

If you have some time to kill and think your birthday should be a national holiday, well, let PopCrush introduce you to a widget that generates the songs that charted No. 1 on your birthday from the year you were born, before, after and beyond. It’s like you can create the soundtrack to your personal history by checking out with songs topped the charts on YOUR special day!

It’s hard to imagine Top 40 radio without the ubiquity of LMFAO‘s dance anthems — in part because they’ve been on the charts pretty much since their inception. As a result, the Day-Glo duo are on their way to making Billboard history.

Drake's second album 'Take Care' is on it's way for a huge debut at Number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart next week. Sources in the music industry say Drake could sell as many as 725,000 copies by weeks end, Sunday November 20th.

Here’s some news that’ll make Rihanna feel better. Proving that she’s more than equipped to teach ‘Rockstar 101,’ Rihanna scored her 11th No. 1 hit. Her soaring dance song, ‘We Found Love‘ shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. While that’s a proud feat in itself, check out whose record she crushed and who her only competition is.

Billboard named Chris Brown's 'Wall to Wall' one of the scariest videos of all time. This was a bit suprising to me because 'Wall to Wall' wasn't that big of a 'hit' for Mr. Breezy back in 2007. As I refreshed myself with the video, I really do have to give it up to Chris Brown, it was really put together well...

Some Denver Broncos fans are publicly pressuring Denver coach John Fox to make a change at quarterback by spending $10,000 to purchase space on two billboards in the heart of the city begging Tim Tebow to take over the team’s offense. Tebow has begun the season on the bench behind starter Kyle Orton.

It's time to write Katy Perry into the pop history books. The singer's hit song Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) has surpassed LMFAO's hit single Party Rock Anthem on Billboard's Hot 100 list, thus propelling the single into the no. 1 spot on the chart. With that, this marks five no. 1 singles from her album Teenage Dream, tying MJ in the record books.

Gotta love imagination. I'd love to see this on an overpass here in Lafayette, even better if it was an actual road instead of a billboard. Probably not as safe though. I could never get my hotwheels to stay on the track. Couldn't imagine the real thing being much easier...

Dj Earworm has done it again. You may remember his United State Of Pop 2009, that recapped the biggest songs of it's respective year. He put the biggest songs together in one autotuned melodic mashup.
