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: […]

Meth, Ghost & Rae Return with a “Wu-Massacre”

Let’s face it. If there are nine guys in your group, it’s gonna be hard for you to keep people’s attention. Just too much going on.

This number was juiced by a number of factors including a […]

Chartstalker 3/31/10: Bieber Fever

Hey, that almost rhymes, right? As expected, teen idol Justin Bieber opens up at the top of the Billboard album charts with “My World 2.0”. The 16 year old Canuck starts with 283,000 copies. He is the youngest male artist to top the Billboard album charts since Stevie Wonder back in 1963. Pretty damn impressive, if you ask me. The top 3 albums this week are all debuts. Former teen idol Monica takes the runner up spot with her fifth […]
