these music stories were hard to ignore
welcome to watchmojo.com in
in 2018 2018 has been an absolute roller
coaster of a year I’ve made a severe and
continuous click the link below to find
our best and worst of 2018 videos for a
look back at all the awesome and crazy
things that happened for this list we’re
looking at the most unexpected out of
nowhere inescapable or downright
head-scratching stories to come out of
the world of music in 2018 number 10 the
Eagles Greatest Hits officially becomes
the best-selling album of all time was
this inevitable the band’s collection
their greatest hits 1971 to 1975 got
great reviews with some critics going as
far to call it the sun-soaked folk
rockers finest album the thing is they
said this in 1976 historically it had
always been one of the best-selling
albums of all time
but in an age when music sales are down
it’s odd that 2018 was their time to be
certified 38 times platinum and pass
Michael Jackson to claim the title it’s
true that the album is a case of mostly
killer no filler but this hits package
doesn’t even have Hotel California on it
or any contributions from Joe Walsh or
Timothy B Schmidt number nine
Ticketmaster are actually Shady it’s a
story as old as time the call is coming
from inside the house the trusted ally
is really the criminal mastermind and
the ticket distributors have been the
scalpers all along okay so Ticketmaster
art scalpers directly but they might as
well be in September Canada’s CBC News
reported on a professional resale scheme
or resellers were advised by
Ticketmaster to buy tickets and then
flip them on trade desk an invite-only
service owned by Ticketmaster this plan
would secure Ticketmaster a cut of the
initial sale plus a cut of the inflated
second sale double dipping and all kinds
of shady number-8 Gibson guitars files
for bankruptcy it wasn’t a surprise for
guitar forum critics but to the rest of
the world seeing one of the undisputed
leaders of the guitar industry staring
into the abyss of its own mortality was
shocker many were quick to blame Henry
jesuits whose tenor as CEO brought
unrequested innovations like mandatory
robotic machine head’s finishes styled
after 70s custom vans declining quality
control dubious sourcing policies and
$10,000 collector models but this was
not Gibson’s undoing instead it was the
company’s diversification into non
guitar industries such as the
acquisition of Phillips and Onkyo
investments which hadn’t paid off when
Gibson’s creditors came knocking number
seven
Fleetwood Mac fires Lindsey Buckingham
there’s is a very complicated history
but it was nonetheless a shocker when 43
years after joining and over two decades
after rejoining guitarist vocalist
songwriter and producer Lindsey
Buckingham found himself out stood from
Fleetwood Mac even the timing was weird
they just played at Music Harris and
were on the cusp of a major tour the why
that was less surprising complications
with his solo schedule and complications
with Stevie Nicks
there was a backhanded compliment in all
this however it took two people to
replace buckingham crowded house founder
Neil Finn on vocals and Tom Petty’s
right-hand man Mike Campbell on guitar
number six Quincy Jones’s wild interview
when you have the years wisdom and Midas
touch of an elder musical genius and
statesmen like Quincy Jones people will
listen in an interview with vulture the
85 year old shared a lot of unorthodox
opinions like oh the Beatles were
terrible musicians and Microsoft’s Paul
Allen was a guitarist on par with Jimi
Hendrix Jones also confessed that he’d
once jammed with Benito Mussolini San
Romano
he named JFK’s killer and said that
Michael Jackson was a literal music
thief and that Marlon Brando bedded a
mailbox but probably the most attention
getting was his claim that he once dated
Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka number
five Machine Gun Kelly vs. Eminem 2018
was a banner year for rap drama like the
hate on between Nicki Minaj and cardi B
but one of the most attention grabbing
was the diss track war between Machine
Gun Kelly and Eminem the opening shots
were fired in 2012 when MGK expressed
approval on
the physical appearance of M’s teen
daughter in 2015
the wrap-up start then suggested he had
been blackballed by Mathers from the
radio station shade 45 and appeared to
allude to this in 2018 while guesting on
a tec-9 track Eminem returned fire with
not alike in August mg cabe with rap
devil and M again with kill shot which
seemingly lived up to its title number 4
Drake vs. Kanye and push a tee elsewhere
in hip hop additional trouble was a
Bruin so Drake has a kid you’ve heard
scorpion you know this but you know who
knew it before you knew it push a tee
knew it and if you heard his the story
of added on and you knew it too but she
know who knew it before push at II knew
it
Kanye knew it and drink seemed to think
that ye was the leaker of the info
except it turned out according to Pusha
anyway it was 40 his own producer oddly
based on his Twitter feed Tanya didn’t
seem that invested in the feud
while the pot-stirring Pusha T felt
Drake OD on apology back against the
wall I either go all the way filthy or I
fall back and I have this sort of chink
in my armor for the rest of time to a
rap terrorism which is fine I can live
with that
number 3 ariana grande being groped by a
bishop at a wreath of Franklin’s funeral
initially armchair morality experts were
busy judging if ariana grande’s dress
was long enough to qualify as funeral
attire but then after she finished
singing natural woman something else
caught their attention that bishops
right-hand which was a questionable
distance from Ariana’s right breast like
the thickness of her dress from it then
while holding her breast hostage in a
church at a funeral honoring a musical
and feminist icon this same bishop went
on to make a cheap and cheesy joke at
the expense of Grande’s name
all while ariana grande and squirmed
through obvious displeasure yuck number
2
Kanye overflows with love for president
Trump during the Oval Office visit
sometimes he think Kanye is on to
something and then the next moment he

sweatshirt or like he speaks Yeezy made
an unusual detour into politics into
18 endorsing alt-right commentator
Candace Owens questioning the relevance
of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King jr.
and while calling for the abolishment of
the anti-slavery 13th amendment then
after having his pro Trump rant cut from

things how the Donald’s mega campaign

when it came to losing icons and legends

1959 for wiping out a crop of new voices

high-profile loss came with the suicide
of the highly popular and influential
