Here are my highlights in popular music from 2016. It includes records by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Bright Light Bright Light, David Bowie, Melanie C, Hikaru Utada, Beyoncé, and many more!

Singer-songwriter Moby discussed his new memoir, his advocacy for animal welfare, and his music.

"I can love whoever I want, say whatever I want, do whatever I want – things are about to get real good." While a 20-something pop star might sing such lyrics with ignorant confidence, in Stefani's older, wiser voice, it's a declaration of a kind of victory.

Maroon 5 uses 'V' to grab music elements from every walk of pop life and stamp it as their own. It's a tour through audio addiction.

So while the Ice Bucket Challenge is a great idea, we need more people doing what Charlie Sheen has done (that is without question one sentence I never thought I would ever write).

Scotty McCreery, Paul McDonald, and Pia Toscano had standout performances during Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night.

A strong debut loaded with "dirty pop rock" songs from a Canadian songstress.
