Popblerd’s New Release Report 7/16/13

by Jesse on Jul 16, 2013 • No Comments

I’m doing this. I really am! This is Big Money’s deal but I’m taking over the “New Release Report” for a little while because, frankly, I miss it. But enough rambling, onto the new releases… We’re in the middle of July meaning…nothing is coming out. For the most part. First, there’s the solo outing from ex-Pantera/current Down frontman Phil Anselmo. I didn’t like it. A lot. You can go here to read why. On the other side of the spectrum (And […]

What better way to make a video than to grab a couple of your celebrity friends and film them acting completely goofy? That’s what singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles did for “Uncharted”, the latest single from her ironically #1-charted album Kaleidoscope Heart (you like that? Huh? Huh?). The bouncy tune would be good on it’s own (and is making me consider dropping her album back into rotation), but the cute video, boasting cameos from Ben Folds, Adam and James from Maroon 5, […]

This week’s Billboard album chart crowns a new leader, and her name is…Sara Bareilles?? The unassuming singer-songwriter, who initially made waves when her hit single “Love Song” was featured in a TV commercial, sells 90,000 copies of her sophomore effort, “Kaleidoscope Heart”, leading the pack of four debuts in the Top 10. Slipknot side project Stone Sour starts off at #6 with their latest effort, “Audio Secrecy”, and they are followed by indie rock titans Interpol at #7 and alt-rock […]

Chart Stalker 9/8/10: Chart Happenings That Leave Me Disturbed

…not really, but I like the title. Sue me. As one would infer from my attempt to compose a witty headline, hard rock band Disturbed bows atop the Billboard 200 Album chart for the fourth time (out of five albums) with their latest effort, “Asylum”. 179,000 folks decided to purchase the latest effort by the Chicago band. It’s one of two albums in six figures this week, with the #2 album being the 35th installment of the “Now That’s What […]

Yes…I am quoting the great Olivia Newton-John. This week brings a pretty eclectic crop of releases. There’s not a LOT of stuff out today, but there is a little something for everyone. IF YOU LIKE electro-pop with a heart, you’ll go for Robyn’s “Body Talk, Pt. 2”. The latest installment in the Swedish singer’s series (there’s a tongue-twister for ya) of mini albums features the ubiquitous Snoop Dogg (who gave Robyn some shine a couple years ago by featuring her […]
