Billboard Hot 100
The ''Billboard'' Hot 100 is the music industry standard record chart in the United States for songs, published weekly by '' Billboard'' magazine. Chart rankings are based on sales (physical and digital), radio play, and online streaming in the United States.

This tracking period also applies to compiling online streaming data. Radio airplay, which, unlike sales figures and streaming, is readily available on a real-time basis, is also tracked on a Friday to Thursday cycle effective with the chart dated July 17, 2021 (previously Monday to Sunday and before July 2015, Wednesday to Tuesday).

Never Say Never (Alias Album)
''Never Say Never'', released in 2009, is the second album from the 1990s hard rock band Alias. In early January 2009, Alias announced the release of their long-awaited second album. This album, appropriately titled ''Never Say Never'', sat unreleased for nearly 18 years. It was recorded in 1992 and was planned to follow the self-titled debut album ''Alias''. However, due to the rapidly evolving music scene of that time where the grunge movement was growing in popularity and metal was fading, it was not released. A few of the songs from this album were re-recorded and appeared on lead vocalist Freddy Curci's solo album ''Dreamer's Road'', but many tracks remained unreleased. House of Lords vocalist James Christian recorded 3 of the ''Never Say Never'' songs, "Pleasure and Pain", "The Warden", and "Woman Enough", for his 1994 debut solo album, ''Rude Awakening'', although "Woman Enough" only appears as a bonus track on the Japanese edition and the expanded 1999 Frontiers re-issue ...

HDnet
AXS TV is an American cable television channel. Majority-owned by Anthem Sports & Entertainment, it is devoted primarily to music-related programming (such as concert films, documentaries, and reality series involving musicians) and combat sports – including boxing, mixed martial arts and professional wrestling. The network was originally established in 2001 as HDNet, with investor Mark Cuban as a founding partner.

In 2012, HDNet sold ownership stakes to Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), Creative Artists Agency, and Ryan Seacrest, with Cuban retaining a majority stake. It then relaunched under its current name–taken from AEG's online ticket platform AXS.com–on July 2, 2012, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
