American Kids
Chesney releases American Kids, a song that captures the trials, tribulations and successes of growing up in the U.S.A.
Listening to those finely crafted lyrics, seeing those images — “little map dots,” “teenage dreamin’, front seat leanin'” and “uptown down home American kids” — I remember being that kid. I remember my braces. I remember the first time a boy held my hand, and I thought my heart would burst. I remember feeling like I could conquer the world all while being scared to death of it.
My Eyes No. 1
Twelve weeks after pairing up with Gwen Sebastian, Shelton’s song, My Eyes, reaches the number one spot on Billboard’s country charts. The song is Shelton’s twelfth consecutive number one hit

It might be considered pathetic, but, when you lose the love of your life, you don’t have much to hide anymore.
Forever Love
Thicke releases the single Forever Love from his album Paula. The song was premiered at the BET Awards:
Hi my name is Robin Thicke and I’d like to dedicate this to my wife and say I miss you and I’m sorry. This is called Forever Love.
Pills ‘N Potions single release
Minaj releases the single Pills ‘N Potions as the first single from her album The Pink Print.
I think everybody knows how obsessed I am with Jay Z. He’s always been my favorite rapper, him and Wayne, and he did such a great job of creating this Blueprint brand for male rappers I studied a lot of his Blueprint, in terms of being a mogul, I wanted to do that. I wanted to be like Jay Z. I felt like with what I’m doing, I want female rappers to be able to pattern themselves with what I’ve done one day. I think the album is so classic. It’s gonna feel so good and I think it will probably be something that female rappers look to as a Pink Print for years to come.
Payback
The band releases, Payback, from, Rewind. DeMarcus:
We didn’t write the song, we found the song, or it found us. It’s revenge driven in a funny way. What he’s saying is basically, ‘Let’s dance together at this club tonight. We’ll take some pictures and put them out on the Internet and he’ll see it and it’ll piss him off and he’ll wonder.
Maps
Maroon 5 releases Maps. The song is the first track off of their upcoming fifth studio album titled V. Levine says singles are chosen based on what the band think will be the biggest hit.
We choose the singles. But we also aren’t stupid. We present the singles, and we say ‘here are the singles, these are the songs we think would be big hits. But we listen to people. I play the song for everyone I can find that I love and I respect. I play the song for kids. Kids know everything. That’s the secret. They have the best taste in music. They have the best ears, because they aren’t corrupted by anything. We listen to the reaction from the label and friends…we do a lot of our own research.
Platinum
Lambert ‘s album, Platinum, takes the number one spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. She becomes the only country artist in 50-years to have each of her first five albums debut at number one.
THANK YOU to the music lovers who believe in albums and spent your hard-earned money on 16 songs! 16 songs that all say something important to me. I hope that they also speak to you, and I hope you enjoy listening to Platinum. Thank you to the incredible musicians, songwriters, producers and artists that put this record together. I’m the luckiest girl in the world, blessed with the best fans!

Minaj releases the official music video for Pills N Potions, directed by Diane Martel.
It’s been literally my most critically acclaimed single ever. Sometimes I get a beat or a hook and I just write what it tells me, what it feels like. What that felt like to me was forgiveness, you know, and just understanding that everybody gets mad, but when you love somebody, I feel like you’ll always love them. I don’t feel like there’s ever been somebody that I loved that I no longer love, I just may not be able to live with you or have you in my life, and that’s really what the song is about.
Day Drinking
The band debuts their newest single, Day Drinking, at the 2014 CMT Music Awards.
We’ve been working on this a long time, and the CMT Awards are like a good luck charm for this band. I mean, two years in a row, we have had magical moments on this stage. So, I don’t want to give anything away.
Maldito Alcohol
The artist releases his single, Maldito Alcohol, that features Afrojack, from his album, Armando.
Blown Away

When I first heard the song, I just had visions of what I wanted it to be like. And I really wanted it to be a dark Wizard of Oz in 2012 kind of thing.

The artist releases his single, We Are One (Ole Ola), featuring Lopez and Leitte, from his album, Globalization. Pitbull:
I’m honored to join Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte at the FIFA World Cup to bring the world together. I truly believe that this great game and the power of music will help unify us, because we are best when we are one.
River Bank
The artist releases his single, River Bank, from his album, Moonshine In The Trunk.
There’s a groove that feels like that and I think we grabbed that groove when we made this track and, more than that, there’s a mindset that I am completely ready for after this winter.
Meanwhile Back at Mama’s
McGraw releases Meanwhile Back at Mama’s after a performance at the 2014 ACM Awards. The duet with Hill is from his upcoming Sundown Heaven Town album.
Last Night

I think for the single we aren’t as worried, because we’ve done it twice before, but the album—we have no idea—I’m quite scared actually. We don’t know what’s gonna happen, but we’re excited, very excited.
It’s On Again
The artist releases It’s On Again, featuring Lamar, from the album, The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
I’m very excited to be a part of such a powerful collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams and Hans Zimmer. This is the next chapter in the Spider-Man legacy and we really feel It’s On Again captures the experience, the story—and most importantly—the meaning behind the film, which is that we all have the potential to be extraordinary. There’s a little bit of a super hero in all of us.
Medicine
Shakira sings with Shelton in the single, Medicine. Shakira:
I think I have real folk roots in my previous albums.The acoustic guitars, that type of narrative, songs that have a traditional structure. And I said to Shelton, ‘I want to do that type of song.’ When I wrote the song I didn’t know what direction to go in and I did like eight versions. Dance, pop … but I said no, this is a country song.
