Lionel Richie goes all-the-way-country on his new album, “Tuskegee.” Does it make the grade?
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?
