Rolling in Nominations: Adele Leads 2011 American Music Awards Nods
Something tells me you’re going to be seeing this headline a LOT in the next six months or so. British singer Adele leads the pack in nominations for the 2011 American Music Awards, which will air live on ABC Sunday November 20th. She’s followed by Taylor Swift and Rihanna, who scored three nominations apiece. As I’m sure you know, Adele’s 21 is by far 2011’s biggest selling album (and let’s face it, no one’s gonna catch it, either) and has […]
Chart Stalker! 1/12/11: Nobody’s Buying Shit
Taylor Swift’s Speak Now holds on for another week at #1 on the Billboard charts published today. That’s the good news, I guess. What’s the bad news? She does so with the lowest sales for a chart-topping album in history. And it’s not even close.

Add in a week with […]

Chart Stalker!: Billboard Year-End Version
Welcome to the first of two year end editions of Chart Stalker! Why two, you ask? Simple answer-Billboard’s year-end issue comes out before the end of the actual calendar year (to allow for publication time and ad purchasing). Generally speaking, it covers the year from December 1st of the previous year to November 30th of the current year, or thereabouts. Additionally, Billboard calculates it’s rankings by using a formula based on chart position, so where an artist ends up on […]
Chart Stalker 12/8/10: Here Comes Middle America!
