Last night on Glee, New Directions and the Troubletones celebrated the former’s victory at Sectionals with a rollicking cover of “We Are Young” by buzzy NY-based band fun. (yes, lowercase with a period).

Almost instantly, their version shot to #1 on iTunes — and will likely soon lead viewers to the song’s originators. The New York City trio — Nate Ruess, Andrew Dost, and Jack Antonoff — will release its second album, Some Nights, this coming February, and just announced tour dates for 2012 (the band will also be on Last Call with Carson Daly on Thursday, Dec. 8). EW talked with lead singer Ruess about the Glee cover, their sound, and why the band’s name ends in a period. READ FULL STORY »

Valentine’s Day may still be nearly three months away, but we saw some serious sensuality in our favorite shows’ song choices this week. There was also a whole lot of heartbreak, a meat truck moment that would have been best kept private, and a dead body for good measure. From a 1970s R&B icon to an Irish electronic trio, plus some old-fashioned singer-songwriters and an experimental musician in the mix, keeping reading to see our Jukebox picks below!

The Muppets may not be hosting the Oscars, but they’re still having a pretty great week.

A hilarious soundtrack preview had debuted, featuring the Muppets (and Jason Segel!) showcasing snippets of the songs found on the soundtrack, but the real highlight is the comment images laid over the video, perfectly mimicking YouTube-style sass.

The soundtrack has all the classics, like the Muppets theme song and “Rainbow Connection” sung by Kermit, but there are also some fun surprises. The trailer teases “Me Party,” a duet between Amy Adams and Miss Piggy, as well as a muppet barbershop quartet version of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

It was a week of dynamic duos for music on TV. There was a couple just getting started (Bored To Death), one reviving a relationship (Up All Night), and another for whom “’til death do us part” looks likely to come sooner than expected (Sons of Anarchy). Enemies forged unlikely bonds (The Vampire Diaries, Community), and lovers played with fire (How To Make It in America). For sheer spectacle, though, the most dazzling duo of all was a pair of Michael Jackson hits that provided a bit of closure and a chance to look back fondly amid a sad week for fans of the King of Pop. Read on to see which show honored Jackson and where our other favorite “show tunes” fit in this week! READ FULL STORY »

As we kept our ears perked up for this week’s best show tunes, we saw a trend: Family. In fact, we had a TV Jukebox first, with songs from both British folksters Richard and Linda Thompson and also their son Teddy.

As the Thompsons would know as well as anyone, family can take you on a crazy ride. This week’s music expressed that poetically and, at times, hilariously. From letdowns to glorious build-ups, harboring dark secrets and sweet memories, and encompassing Irish oddballs and naked roommates (see: New Girl), family takes all kinds. See this week’s picks below:  READ FULL STORY »

While most of you were listening to “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” exclusively during this week’s World Series, we were keeping our ears perked for the best of the rest. With Halloween around the corner, it’s only right that it was a spooky time for “show tunes” indeed.  But how did the music fit in with the vampires, ghosts, killers, sociopaths wicked witches… and their hunters?

Attention Twi-hards: The video for Christina Perri's 'A Thousand Years' has arrived! Watch here

Tags: ,

Vampires — and the humans who love them — can all sink their teeth into this brand-new video by Christina Perri, from the Breaking Dawn: Part 1 soundtrack out November 8.

“A Thousand Years” features footage of an ethereal-looking Perri in an empty house full of candles (1000, perhaps?) intercut with Edward and Bella’s wedding footage and honeymoon clips. Sorry, Jacob.

Perri’s looking a little gothic-pop, which is great for the Twilight mood, but kind of reminds me of Goodbye Lullaby Avril Lavigne.

Adele

Adele announced today that she is canceling all of her live dates and promotional appearances for the rest of the year. This news comes three weeks after the British singer canceled her sold-out U.S. tour because of a hemorrhage on her vocal chords.

Adele was due to play six U.K. dates next month but, according to an announcement on her website, the singer’s continuing problems with her throat have forced her to bow out of all her commitments until she recovers from an upcoming throat surgery, but that “a full recovery is expected.”

While the singer’s live appearances may be on hold, her album 21 continues to dominate the Billboard 200. The collection is currently enjoying its 13th week at number one. No album has spent more weeks in that position since 1998′s Titanic soundtrack.
