What has been going on in the world of news while we've all been asleep?

» Is anyone taking respons­ib­il­ity for running the popular music industry these days? ('Who Calls The Tune In The New Music Age' — The Guardian)

»
Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' album is no less important than it was last week, or 25 years ago. ('The Most Influential Albums Ever' — The Times)

»
Madonna is still earning more money than every other woman in music. 'Material Girl' is still providing sub editors with clever and hilarious headlines. ('Material Girls' — The Independent)

»
Morrissey fans dis­ap­poin­ted by his cancelled gigs will be less than thrilled to hear that he has no plans to res­ched­ule. ('No New Dates For Morrissey Gigs' — BBC)

»
It is only a matter of time before Miley Cyrus arrives in the UK to enjoy same level of success as Hilary Duff (ie not much). ('Hannah Montana Tops US Box Office' — BBC)
