Each album also receives a star rating, on a scale of 0 – 5 (½ stars are used as well), that is visible at the beginning and ending of the review. = MASTERPIECE = NEAR MASTERPIECE = EXCELLENT = VERY GOOD = AVERAGE / GOOD = BELOW AVERAGE = MEDIOCRE , , , = BAD

      • More Columns Ah, the Columns, the columns! The columns on The Musical Hype encompass a variety of articles.  Some of these articles have a shelf life, while others are more evergreen (content maintains its relevance sans a set expiration date).  Even though some columns are evergreen, they don’t necessarily fit the more expansive Evergreen category, which features bigger posts such as playlists.  Columns include the “less finessed” blog Beyond the Hype, The Chart Scoop, Critics Weigh In, Guests Posts, Op Ed (opinion editorials), and Press Releases & Shopping.

    Music

    PianoEssentially, music is “the meat” of The Musical Hype. The majority of the articles published on the site fall under the music category.  Rightfully so – this is a music entertainment site.  As the patriarchal category, the music section encompasses subcategories Columns, Evergreen, and Reviews. Those respective subcategories have their own set of subcategories as well.
