I find Swank's movie career totally incomprehensible: She either wins Oscars, or she tanks. Not even Meryl Streep h...

Maura and I have already taken a victory lap about our fulfilled prediction that Kelly Clarkson would vault to the top of Billboard's Hot 100. Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You" dominates the list again this week, thanks to commanding sales and fast-rising radio airplay. How long will she s...

The most interesting news on Billboard’s Hot 100 isn’t at the summit, where the entire Top Five has been static for the last couple of weeks. It’s in the basement, where a flotilla of new songs—many by established acts—debuts. We could talk about the return of Eminem to the Hot 100...

The singles charts have settled into what we hope will be a momentary midsummer slumber. And that starts with the song in its fourth week at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100.
