We went into the heart of five festivals in 2021 to document how music festivals adjusted to the new pandemic reality. One thing was abundantly clear: the pandemic was tolerated, not feared. Nothing in music was as fundamentally devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic as much as live music. Live entertainment trade publication Pollstar estimated the concert industry lost $30 billion in 2020 after every major tour and music festival was suspended in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19. We never got out of the pandemic, but the music industry got back to business in 2021 as artists like J. Cole, Jack Harlow, Da Baby, Saweetie, and Lil Baby all started or fully completed tours. A few of their stops on ...

Consider the top albums of 1972 — or maybe don't. Because after the groundbreaking, iconic crop of records released in 1971, it's not a fair fight. How does Carole King, who released two new records in 1972, hope to match "Tapestry" the year before? Can Joni Mitchell best "Blue"? (No.) Or can Cat Stevens catch "Teaser and the Firecat"? (Nuh-uh.) Which is not to say 1972 did not have a ton of great music land on our turntables or slide into our 8-track tape players. It did! Just look at the No. 1 singles that year. Don McLean's "American Pie." Bill Withers' "Lean On Me." Neil Young's "Heart of Gold." Al Green's "Let's Stay Together." Even the so-call "bad" No. 1s are great: Chuck Berry's "My Ding-a-Ling," poor Chuck's only No. 1 ever. Looking Glass's "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)." Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones." ...

In this article ETH.CM= BTC.CM= Charts suggest the selling in the world's two largest cryptocurrencies may run its course soon, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Monday, leaning on analysis from veteran technician Tom DeMark. "When the charts, as interpreted by Tom DeMark, say that both bitcoin and ethereum could be looking at downside trend exhaustion bottoms this week, if not today, I think you need to take him seriously," the "Mad Money" host said. "To me, that says it might be too late to sell and you need to consider buying. I know I am, especially if we get a final leg down," added Cramer, who personally owns some ether, which runs on the ethereum blockchain. He previously owned bitcoin, as well. Bitcoin earlier Monday reached its lowest point since July when it fell to $32,982.11 per token, according to Coin Metrics. However, bitcoin reversed course during the trading day, ultimately moving higher to around $36,000. The cryptocurrency remains well off ...

After evolving on the Chicago club scene in the early '80s, house music exploded at the end of the decade to become the world's most exciting and innovative dance genre. By the early '90s, massive pop stars like Madonna, Janet Jackson and Kylie Minogue were all incorporating elements of house music into their sound – a sure sign that it had infiltrated the mainstream. Thanks to globally renowned DJs like Honey Dijon and The Blessed Madonna, house music is still filling dance floors today, and has spawned no end of sub-genres including acid house, witch house, electro house, handbag house and, most recently, tropical house – come on, you know you're partial to a few Kygo tunes. But these 20 house music anthems picked by Time Out Music writers and DJs from iconic London radio station Rinse FM are the OG four-to-the-floor bangers from the pioneers of the genre. Play 'em loud and play 'em proud!  Lis...

It's our favorite time of the year at Complex Music. We've already celebrated all the best songs and albums of the year, and now it's time to answer the question: Who had the best rap verse of 2021? Forget the beats and the hooks—this time, we're only focusing on the bars. Of course, there are lots of different approaches to making a great rap verse in 2021. Some artists choose to tell a story, some go for a more abstract and poetic approach, and others try to squeeze in as many intricate metaphors and cadences as possible.  There were a lot of verses that stopped us in our tracks this year, and they came in all sizes and shapes. Some of them were radio freestyles (shout out Vince Staples), some were album cuts (shout out Mach-Hommy), and one was leaked in a chaotic way before ultimately ending up on streaming services because everyone loved it so much (shout out André 3000).  For the purposes of this list, we decided to only include a maximum of one v...
