A PHOTO GALLERY FILLED WITH FIREWORKS (AND A FEW SPARKLERS)

We know your mind is already 87% focused on drooling at pyrotechnics and gobbling BBQ, but allow us to light up your sky with this pre-Independence Day photo array, co-starring Top Dawg, Slim, Birdman, Team Sabrina, Aaron Bay-Schuck and "Luau" Lenny Beer, among other potentates. Light this fuse and stand back!

Create Music Group CEO Jonathan Strauss has a billion reasons to smile. We are not one of them.


Universal Music Latino and the Regional Mexican team with Mexican tween phenomenon Picus. The trio

Hill Folk: Country legend Randy Travis and SoundExchange CEO Michael Huppe hit D.C. to call on Congress to pass the
American Music Fairness Act, which would require AM/FM stations to pay artist royalties when songs are played.


Bad Boys 5: Buddies Take Miami. Epic promo SVP Scott Dimig with SXM's Alex Tear at the Bad Boys movie premiere.
