Popblerd Presents!: The Top 40 Albums of 2010 (25-21)
Hey folks, I’ll be taking tomorrow off from posting because I intend to stuff myself silly with Christmas-related goodies (many of which will very likely contain alcohol), and I haven’t had the opportunity to build up my usual backlog of posts that I can fall back on when I’m lazy/stuffed/drunk. So to you Popblerd! readers who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a safe and joyous holiday. To those of you who don’t celebrate Christmas, enjoy your Chinese food and Tron: […]
Hear Here! Cee-Lo Green Covers Kings of Leon’s “Radioactive”
Cee-Lo covering Southern rock is something that should happen more often. First, the singer/rapper covered Band of Horses’ “No One’s Gonna Love You”. The bearded troubadours then returned the favor by taking on ‘Lo’s “Georgia”. Now, on the eve of his third solo release “The Lady Killer”, Cee-Lo has blessed us with his version of Kings of Leon’s current smash single “Radioactive”. It’s not as good as the original, which I’m still ridiculously in love with, but the man more […]
Chart Chat 10/27/10: There’s Something Sweet at the Top of the Chart This Week
The country onslaught continues! Sugarland scores this week’s #1 album with their latest effort, “The Incredible Machine”. The duo’s sound, which mixes traditional country with a more streamlined, arena pop-rock sound, was enough to impress 203,000 folks. Not bad, huh? The top four positions on this week’s Billboard chart are all new entries. Kings of Leon score the biggest debut in their history with “Come Around Sundown”. The band’s fifth effort scores a total of 184,000 units-more than double the […]
Chart Stalker 10/21/10: The Weezy Bounce
After a run of three consecutive number one albums coming from the country genre, the streak is broken by Lil Wayne. The New Orleans rapper’s latest effort, “I Am Not a Human Being”, bounces from #16 to #1 in its third week on the chart. The reason for this jump? After two weeks as a digital exclusive, “Human” was officially released on disc. Over 125,000 people scooped it up-not a huge number considering Weezy’s recent past, but when you take […]

Country Music / hip-hop / Lists! / music / New Releases / news / Pop Music / rock music / soul music
Country music continues it’s stronghold on the Billboard album charts this week. For the third consecutive week, the genre scores a chart-topping debut. This week’s chart-topper is the latest record from Toby Keith. Everyone’s favorite Dixie Chick-basher scores the #1 album with “Bullets in the Gun”. Unfortunately, it also starts with what’s probably the lowest total for a chart-topper in October EVER, scanning just under 71,000 units. Nevertheless, Toby follows Kenny Chesney (now #2) and Zac Brown Band (#5) to […]
Does One Become Radioactive After Having Sex on Fire?: KoL’s New Video
Quick Kings of Leon story. As y’all know, I try to avoid hype-y, “it” bands (no, seriously), so I stayed off the Kings of Leon train while the rock mags were going gaga over the band. It wasn’t until hearing their third album, “Because of the Times”, that I officially converted. I was walking through a Virgin Megastore (R.I.P.) while “On Call” was playing and I fell in love immediately. Of course, one album later, the Followill clan stopped being […]
2010 Bonnaroo Lineup Announced
While I’ve been to my share of outdoor concerts, I’ve never been to a multi-day concert festival before. After looking at the lineup for the 2010 Bonnaroo music festival, that just might change. Rolling Stone’s website published an article today listing the confirmed artists, and there are some very cool names on the list. So far, the biggest names are Jay-Z, Dave Matthews Band, Kings of Leon and Stevie Wonder. I’m probably due to check Jigga out in a live setting, and from […]
