Not only do you get to realize that your music taste has basically remained the same since 2008, but you also get to see your most hardcore metal head friends admit that––yes––they did help boost Taylor Swift to the No. 1 streamed Spotify artist for the year globally. To no surprise, Swift does lead the pack, and precedes globally streamed top artists Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, Drake, and Peso Pluma.

It’s that time of year when we all look back on the albums that served as the soundtrack to the last 12 months. With so many incredible releases in 2023, it was pretty tricky to narrow down our most beloved releases. idobi Radio had too many favorites to pack into one list, so today, we are unveiling our Best Albums Of 2023 Volume 1! We simply weren’t capable of ranking these albums. Instead, we chose to give them all equal praise and list them based on the release date. Additionally, this list does not include EPs or reimagined albums (those… Read more »
Last night, during Fall Out Boy’s headlining So Much (For) Tour Dust performance in London, the pop-punk mainstays brought special guest, Waterparks’ Awsten Knight, on stage to perform “Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy.” The brief collaborative moment was one to rejoice over as Waterparks and FOB fans previously speculated that a proper collaboration may be in the works between the artists and had hoped one may emerge on either FOB’s March release, So Much (For) Stardust or Parx’s April release, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. While neither of those things came to fruition, and let’s face it, there seemed to be very… Read more »
This weekend’s When We Were Young Fest in Las Vegas, NV, was nothing short of a brilliant pop-punk playground packed with fantastic performances from tons of our favorite artists in the scene. From collaborations such as Yellowcard inviting Cassadee Pope on stage to perform “Only One” to Green Day playing their unreleased, new single “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” WWWY 2023 will surely go down in history as one of the greatest music events of our generation.

The MTV Video Music Awards isn’t just a superficial awards show. It’s an institution that has crafted some of pop culture’s most iconic moments. Frankly, no other awards show has created massive ripples in the cultural zeitgeist such as Miley Cryus’ famous twerking moment and Beyoncé’s baby bump reveal alongside bands such as Alien Ant Farm playing their cover of “Smooth Criminal” or Rage Against The Machine and Limp Bizkit feuding onstage in 2000. However, many viewers equate the MTV VMAs to purely celebrating the efforts of most American Top 40 artists. This could not be further from the truth.… Read more »
