This week Madonna earns her amazing 43rd #1 hit on Billboard's Dance Club Play chart with "Turn Up the Radio." This puts her well ahead of the second place artist Janet Jackson who has 19. An even more phenomenal fact is that Madonna is now only one hit away from tying the record for the most #1s by an artist on any current Billboard chart. That record is held by George Strait who has 44 #1 hits on the Hot Country Songs chart. When all currently active Billboard charts are put together, Madonna has hit #1 an incredible 156 times. "Turn Up the Radio" will be promoted to pop radio beginning September 25, 2012. It is the third #1 dance hit from the album MDNA.

Roadrunner's Best Beards
Recently, MetalSucks.net ran an NCAA-style bracket to determine the best beard in metal, and it was an awesome display of manly face-fur indeed. But there were almost no Roadrunner artists represented at all - from our current roster, only Killswitch Engage's Justin Foley made it, and as far as RR alumni, there were only two: Zakk Wylde, and Sean Z. of Daath/Chimaira (who ultimately won).
So we've decided to present our own list of Roadrunner's Best Beards. And before we begin, let's be clear: this isn't about Roadrunner's Biggest Beards. There are a few impressive candidates here, but style counts, too, as you'll see. And it's not a contest, either, which is why the list is in alphabetical order by band name.
Here we go!
Dave Baxter, Avalanche City: This friendly, soft-spoken New Zealander has a beard that matches his personality. It's not too wild, it goes well with an acoustic guitar and comfortable clothes...frankly, he looks a little bit like a music teacher. Which, when you consider that he played all the instruments on his Love Love Love EP, he probably could be!
John Petrucci/Jordan Rudess, Dream Theater: Here we have two very different approaches to beard growth, within the same band. Every time we see Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci, his beard is impeccably styled. Not too long, not too short, with a crisp edge. Keyboardist Jordan Rudess, on the other hand, has grown a goatee that's like a massive waterfall of hair descending from his chin, the perfect counter to his smoothly shaved head.
Jesse Leach/Justin Foley, Killswitch Engage: You know why there are so many bands from Massachusetts? Because it gets cold there, and people retreat indoors and pick up instruments. For similar reasons, facial hair is serious business in New England. Killswitch Engage's frontman and drummer sport particularly impressive beards; Foley's could practically serve as a bib or dickey.
Fieldy, Korn: This iconic bassist is pretty much instantly recognizable, from the way he holds his instrument nearly vertically onstage to his thick, flying dreads, and his beard is the perfect capper to that visual package. Plus, as a new dad, it's sure to provide hours of fun for his son Noa (born August 13) to tug and hang onto.
Gary Rossington/Johnny Van Zant, Lynyrd Skynyrd: As in the case of Dream Theater above, these two guys provide a study in contrasts. Skynyrd lead singer Johnny Van Zant's beard is a scruffy, casual, good ol' boy growth, while guitarist Gary Rossington's is a carefully sculpted adornment well suited to a Southern gentleman.
Robb Flynn, Machine Head: Robb Flynn's beard has been through multiple permutations over the years. It's been just a goatee (of varying lengths), it's been twisted into three braids, but now it's long and wild, a crucial component of his overall ultimate-metal-dude-ness.
Marco Hietala, Nightwish: The braided look maintains its popularity with Finnish bass monster Marco Hietala. The two long blond ropes dangling from his chin give him a Viking-ish appearance that only bolsters the group's fantasy-oriented songwriting and image.
Mick Thomson/Clown, Slipknot: While Slipknot percussionist/mastermind M. Shawn "Clown" Crahan sports a beard that gives him a gentle, almost fatherly appearance befitting such a multifaceted artist, the band's man-mountain guitarist, Mick Thomson, goes in exactly the opposite direction. Unlike some other members of the band, he's rarely seen without his metallic-looking face-plate, but you can see his gigantic, bushy black beard protruding from beneath it and covering his neck, almost all the way to his chest, implying that he'd be just as intimidating unmasked as he is onstage.
Marc Rizzo/Tony Campos, Soulfly: This band's guitar-bass team also take two very different approaches to facial grooming. While guitarist Marc Rizzo's beard is a thin, carefully trimmed line tracing the angle of his jaw until it blossoms into a neat goatee, a style common among young Latino men on the East Coast and probably many other places, bassist Tony Campos's mustache and beard explode off his face and down his chest, rendering his mouth virtually invisible(!).

Taylor Swift Aiming For Record First Week Sales With "We're Never Ever Getting Back Together"
At first it seemed that Taylor Swift's new single "We're Never Ever Getting Back Together" would sell somewhere in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 copies in its first sales week. That would probably be enough to top digital sales for the week and is a strong opening. However, it now appears the estimates were low. Experts are now thinking it has a chance of nearing 600,000. That would place "We're Never Ever Getting Back Together" at #2 on the all-time list of opening sales weeks surpassing Justin Bieber's 521,000 copies of "Boyfriend" sold earlier this year. Taylor Swift still has a significant mountain to climb if she wants the biggest first week ever. Flo Rida sold 636,000 copies of "Right Round" in its first week back in 2009.

Herman Li Interview
DragonForce guitarist Herman Li was interviewed by the metal site NoizzEater, and talked about a variety of subjects, from the band's latest album The Power Within to his own perfectionism and more.
Li says he likes to keep DragonForce operations in-house, producing the records themselves and much more: "I am a perfectionist and pretty insane at how I like certain things done. Sometimes it's hard to find someone who would pay the same amount of time and attention to details as I would. I enjoy working on different projects and not just be a guitar player. I've learnt a lot of new skills from doing that. I really like to absorb as much knowledge as possible and don't mind being a student of anything I like."
He also explains why the band chose "Cry Thunder," a relatively slow song by their standards, as the first single: "One of the reasons we picked this one is because it sounds obviously different than our other songs. Maybe...I am sick of idiots saying this song bla bla sounds exactly the same as 'Through the Fire and Flames,' bla bla, if we picked another fast song. Ha ha! But seriously, 'Cry Thunder' really fires the crowd up with its catchy hooks and energetic feel." Watch the video above.

Pop Punk Pioneer Tony Sly Of No Use For a Name Dies At Age 41
For many pop fans the name of Tony Sly may be unfamiliar. However, for those who remain stalwarts of pop punk, he was a pioneer and one of the top songwriters in the genre. A founding member of the band No Use For a Name, he passed away yesterday at the age of 41. Yesterday at Warped Tour in Milwaukee, Yellowcard played a tribute to No Use For a Name by playing the band's song "Chasing Rainbows." No Use For a Name were a part of the very first Warped Tour in 1995 and then played on the tour three more times. Tony Sly's own work mellowed from hardcore punk to softer, more melodic music with age. No details are available on the cause of death, but pioneer Tony Sly will be missed.
...Nicki Minaj Takes Us To Carnival In Trinidad With "Pound the Alarm" Video
Nicki Minaj's new single "Pound the Alarm" may sound a little too similar to "Starships" to hold interest while listening, but the new music video gives plenty of eye-filling spectacle. Filmed in Nicki Minaj's native Trinidad on July 4, 2012, the clip features dancers clad in bright-colored, feathered carnival costume. There is gorgeous scenery from the island as well, and, of course, Nicki Minaj herself accompanied by a massive fireworks display. Benny Boom, a collaborator on two previous efforts, directed the music video. "Pound the Alarm" is the follow up to the top 5 pop hit single "Starships." It is already in the top 40 at mainstream pop radio. Check out the "Pound the Alarm" video below.
