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

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.
