This week in rock history, Billboard began their famous singles chart, Paul Mccartney announced the establishment of Wings, Debbie Harry went solo, Guns N' Roses hit Number One and David Crosby's drug woes earned him 5 days in prison.

How do you work a job like Axl?

August is typically a quiet month in music, with very little going on at all. Yet this week seems to have been a busy week for music news.

Okay, maybe `news` isn`t the proper condition for all of it. Or even much of it. 76% seems to get involved Justin Bieber in some way, while one of the week`s major stories was whether or not Guns N Roses are still playing their upcoming UK tour dates - most importantly, Reading and Leeds at the end of the month.
