Lil Uzi Vert Secures Billboard's Number One Album Award
Billboard

On August 25th, 2017, Lil Uzi Vert released his debut album entitled "Luv Is Rage 2". The upcoming rapper/rockstar from Philadelphia has been at the top of his game ever since his smash-hit singles "Bad and Boujee" and "XO TOUR Llif3" broke mainstream barriers.

Lil Uzi Vert's eccentric personality and authentically animated style are what set him apart from other artists in his class, helping his first professional project do huge numbers on global charts. By September 16th, 2017, "Luv Is Rage 2" reached the Number One spot on Billboard's Top 200 albums.

For the 23-year-old rapper, this feat was definitely his biggest accomplishment, as he was quoted saying, "It means everything. I think I'm the only person, anyway, that exists, so I'm already No. 1!'" when asked how he felt about his sales. The album has been on the charts for 16 weeks up until this day, proving Uzi is not just the typical one-hit wonder.

"Luv Is Rage 2" brought in approximately 150.6 million on-demand audio streams of tracks on the album, making Uzi's project's sales the highest debut numbers for an album since Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN". With the year coming to an end, fans are expecting Uzi to drop even more groundbreaking music in 2018, with the hopes that his momentum and drive don't burn out.

It will be exciting to see what Uzi will bring to the table in 2018, and even more exciting to see how long it will take until he is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest artists of this generation.

If you haven't already checked it out, here is the official "Luv Is Rage 2" album by Lil Uzi Vert on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/liluzivert/sets/luv-is-rage...

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
