Adam Levine Starts Record Label, Signs ‘Glee’ Star Matthew Morrison
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Becky Bain
After doling out advice on The Voice, Adam Levine believes he can shape a star off camera, too. The Maroon 5 frontman has announced the launch of his own record label, 222 Records, and his first signee is Glee star Matthew Morrison. "Starting my own label has been a long-time goal of mine and I am thrilled to be at the point in my career where it is finally happening," Levine said. "I am excited for everyone to hear Matthew's forthcoming album. Great things are in store for him with this release." Expect Mr. Schue's sophomore LP sometime this spring. [Via E! Online]
Maroon 5, Foster The People & Beach Boys To Perform At The Grammys
Wed Feb 8 2012 by Becky Bain
Since both their nominated singles include a fair amount of whistling, it's not such a surprise to see that the Recording Academy has paired Maroon 5 with Foster The People for a performance during the 2012 Grammy Awards. In the grand tradition of throwing seemingly unrelated acts on stage with one another, the two bands will be joined by the recently reunited Beach Boys (who we assume will somehow incorporate their track "Whistle In"). Does this seem totally random, or is this an inspired musical partnership? Sound off below. More »

Thu Dec 29 2011 by Becky Bain
Because there were so many music videos to emerge in 2011, we have to give props where props are due. As it would be impossible to simply call one music video the "Best Music Video of 2011," for the first time ever, we're naming winners in a bunch of categories based on the major themes we saw in this year's crop of clips. So, instead of one best music video of 2011, we've arrived at nine! See which videos really made a mark on 2011 below. More »
Top Songs Of 2011: We Review Each #1 Single…In One Word
Sun Dec 25 2011 by Robbie Daw
Throughout 2011, a total of 14 singles topped Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Grammy-nominated UK songbird Adele was the artist who spent the most weeks at #1 this year, with her first two 21 singles. Rihanna had the song that was perched in the chart throne the longest. Katy Perry had the most #1s, while Christina Aguilera returned to the top after a 10-year absence. Also, Wiz Khalifa, Pitbull, LMFAO and Calvin Harris all took trips to the peak position on the Hot 100 for the first time.
Naturally, in retrospect, Idolator's Erika Brooks Adickman, Becky Bain and Robbie Daw had plenty to say about each of these singles. But rather than ramble on, they decided to pare down their thoughts to one(-ish) word. Head below to catch the Idolator editors' very brief reviews of this year's #1s! More »

‘Glee’ Mashes Up “Moves Like Jagger” With Mick Jagger
Tue Dec 20 2011 by Becky Bain
Glee's third season has already birthed quite a number of awesome mash-ups, including Adele's "Someone Like You" mixed with "Rumour Has It", and Destiny's Child's "Survivor" mixed with Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive". Here comes another one: the kids in New Directions are ingeniously combining Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera's "Moves Like Jagger" with The Rolling Stones' 1968 single "Jumpin' Jack Flash". It's "Jagger" meets Jagger! Just be grateful Cher Lloyd's "Swagger Jagger" is left out of this. Listen below!

Adele Is iTunes’ Artist Of The Year
Thu Dec 8 2011 by Becky Bain
Not only is Adele's music from the past year topping critical lists — she came in at #1 on Rolling Stone's Best Albums and Singles of 2011 features — the Brit singer is triumphing on chart lists, too. Adele's 21 was the top-selling album on iTunes in the last year, and "Rolling In The Deep" was the top-selling single on the digital retailer. The Grammy-nominated chanteuse was also named iTunes' Artist Of The Year. It's going to be a predictable season of year-end lists, isn't it? See who else scored big on iTunes in 2011 below. More »

Wed Nov 30 2011 by Robbie Daw
As Miranda Kerr debuted the 2011 Fantasy Bra on the catwalk during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Maroon 5 cranked out their hit “Moves Like Jagger”, minus Christina Aguilera. But Adam Levine made up for the absence of his fellow Voice coach by doing a surprise walk down the runway with his model girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna (i.e. the faceless female who cupped Adam's naked manhood in those cancer awareness ads) then planting a kiss on her cheek. Other performers included Kanye West, Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj. Watch below!
