New Release Report 10/8/13
The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. The most anticipated album of 2013 has dropped and it ain’t who you thought it was cuz that guy released his album last Monday . That’s right, I’m talking about Hannah Montana herself, Miley Cyrus. It’s Bangerz baby! Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last year or so, Ms. Cyrus has been making waves. She’s been criticized for her raunchy videos and a controversial VMA appearance but now she gets to prove whether it was […]

2010 American Music Awards: Live Blog
The American Music Awards may have fallen to third place on the importance list behind the Grammy Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards, but it’s still a pretty important show where it counts…at the cash register. It’s pretty well-watched, and lots of people that see performances or award winners end up going to their local store (or to iTunes) and picking up a single or album by someone they caught on the show. The AMAs began in 1974 as […]

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 […]
Chart Chat 6/30/10: Eminem’s Comeback Mission Accomplished
Eminem’s “Recovery” scores the biggest first week sales of 2010. So says this week’s Billboard chart. Slim Shady bows with over 741,000 units sold, incredibly marking an increase of over 100,000 units on the first weeks sales of his last album, 2009’s “Relapse”. If you were to compile the year’s top selling albums, “Relapse” would be at #8 after just 6 days in stores. This is interesting on any number of levels. First of all, it’s incredibly rare for an […]
New Release Report 6/21/10: Shady Monday
Is it me, or has almost every single Eminem album wound up being released early? Breaking from the tradition of having new music come out on Tuesday (I wonder why that started), “Recovery”, along with a healthy bunch of other new albums, arrives a day early. Most people who have gotten the chance to sample Em’s latest say that it’s a return to form. It’s certainly Eminem’s most contemporary sounding albums, with production from the likes of Just Blaze and […]
Chart Stalker 5/27/10: Exile on My TV
The biggest news on this week’s album chart? A TV show. The second biggest news? A 40-year old album. First things first. “Glee: The Music: Showstoppers” bows atop the Billboard 200 this week, with 136,000 copies sold. It’s the second chart-topper to boast the “Glee” brand in the past 6 weeks. The hit FOX show is now a true phenomenon, with no end in sight. A distant second goes to the reissue of the Rolling Stones’ 39-year old classic “Exile […]
Does Billboard Know Exactly What Sexy Is??
One thing we can probably all agree on is that sexiness is relative. Everyone’s got their own quirks. Some people think it’s a 6 pack, or a big rack. For some people, it’s less visual and more intellectual. Personally, as a gay dude, I find most typically attractive men (say, Brad Pitt) pretty un-sexy. Too Metro for my tastes (although I will admit that seeing him in “Thelma & Louise” gave me quite the teenage boner). Billboard Magazine, that bastion […]
