'The X Factor' Season 2 Premiere: Embrace The Madness
So Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" returned to Fox for a second season Wednesday night.

Week Ending Sept. 9, 2012. Albums: Matchbox Twenty's Long Wait
More than 15 years after releasing its smash debut album, Yourself Or Someone Like You, Matchbox Twenty finally lands its first #1 album, North. It's the Florida-based group's first all-new album in nearly 10 years. Group leader Rob Thomas released two albums during the group's hiatus. The first, …Something To Be, hit #1 in April [...]
