'Rolling in the Deep' Continues to Make Waves

As if ADELE's latest album, 21, holding strong at the top of the charts isn't enough (it's currently at No. 3), artists continue to create their own covers of its lead single "Rolling in the Deep."

The latest to board the let's-cover-ADELE train is none other than Grammy-winner John Legend. Other covers have appeared from Mike Posner (who's coming to the MSU Auditorium Wednesday, April 13) and Young the Giant. Check out all three below.

Snapshot: A History of Music

From Elvis' "Jailhouse Rock" to Alvin & the Chipmunks' "Christmas Don't Be Late" to Del Shannon's "Runaway" to The Beatles' "Paperback Writer" to about one-third of the Now & Then soundtrack, the list goes on...

D.J. Earworm is king of the number-one-singles mashup (he's known for coming up with mashups of five seconds of all the best pop songs each year) but this new compilation track gives him a run for his money, honoring the history of the pop charts with five seconds of every No. 1 single through 1992 (the remainder of song can be fond in the second version, here) — truly a trip down memory lane.

Listen to the clips below.

Hot Jam: Go Outside



Above is the new music video for "Go Outside" from indie pop artist Cults, signed to Lily Allen's label In the Name Of. The video stars actors Emma Roberts and Dave Franco, who just so happen to be related to even bigger stars, and is part of MTV's Supervideo project, pairing actors/filmmakers with artists for mini-movies.

We are loving the French/new wave theme.

Abbey Road Officially Historic

The zebra street crossing in London (Liverpool), England made famous on the cover of The Beatles' Abbey Road has officially been declared a historic site by John Penrose, British minister for tourism and heritage.

This means that now, by official order of the British government, no one may build over or remove the iconic crosswalk (that is reported to have been moved several meters from its original locale some time ago).

In other music news, Taylor Swift's Speak Now (released nearly two months ago) has soared back into the No. 1 spot on the Billboard albums chart, beating out three new releases and moving 259,000 units.
