We've had the honor of Patrick Stump, Ellie Goulding, Skylar Grey and Oh Land treating us with their picks for the year's best music, and now Travie McCoy and Matt McGinley of Gym Class Heroes tell us which albums made their 2011 totally rock.

Mon Dec 12 2011 by Becky Bain
Life on the road is tough for a musician, and in Gym Class Heroes' new video for their single "Ass Back Home", the pop-rock group shows how a hectic touring schedule can really do a number on a relationship.

If you're far from the one you love, you'll probably be able to relate to the video, which you can watch below. More »

Sat Dec 10 2011 by Idolator Staff
It must be the holidays — otherwise, how could we account for the gift of having so many of our favorite acts in one room? Z100’s Jingle Ball pulled out all the stops at Madison Square Garden last night, including a Kelly Clarkson and Demi Lovato duet and Lady Gaga singing “White Christmas” perched atop a motorcycle with sunglasses on (it’s true, a white Christmas can be very bright). In addition to these marvelous ladies, the bash featured Foster The People, Travie McCoy, David Guetta, Hot Chelle Rae, Pitbull, and LMFAO. We weren’t on hand to see it for ourselves, but reliving it via these photographs, it sure looks like spirits were bright. More »

Fri Nov 18 2011 by Robbie Daw
Both Gym Class Heroes and Maroon 5 were in attendance at yesterday's Google Music launch party, but M5 frontman Adam Levine must have had other obligations when it came time for Travie McCoy and the gang to hit up the Tonight Show to perform "Stereo Hearts".
