Chart Stalker 3/2/11: Rolling in Adele
As expected, Adele takes the #1 spot on this week’s chart with her sophomore effort, 21. The British singer-songwriter nails down the biggest chart week of 2011, with an impressive 352,000 units sold. To give a little perspective here, I don’t think Adele’s debut album hit the 350K mark until the Grammy nominations were announced more than six months after the album’s release. To give some more perspective, 21 is already the second biggest selling album of 2011, following Mumford […]
Chart Stalker 1/27/11: A Semblance of Order…Temporarily
After Cake took the #1 spot last week by selling practically nothing, the album charts look a bit healthier this week. It took six albums, but The Decemberists have officially broken through to the mainstream, scoring the week’s #1 album with The King is Dead. The indie favorites scan an impressive 94,000 copies of their third major label effort-easily 2011’s best sales week so far. It’s also more than half of the cumulative sales of the band’s last album, Hazards […]
The Viewfinder: Pink’s “F**kin’ Perfect”
If there’s one pop singer I think I’d enjoy sitting in a bar having a beer with, it’s Pink. Despite beginning her career with not one, but two gimmicks (ooh…a white girl who sings R&B, and LOOK, she has pink hair!!), Alecia Moore has outlasted the majority of pop tarts who came out at the same time by virtue of two things: talent and pluck. No girl singer from that era can sing better (with the exception of Christina), and […]
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 […]
New Release Report 11/16/10: The Reissue Theory
It’s mid-November, just a week and change until Thanksgiving, so of course there are a ton of albums coming out today. Most of them, however, are either compilations or repackagings. Some of them are worth it. Some of them, not so much. Anyway, here’s a sampling of the new old stuff you’re gonna see in stores and online this week. Easily, the biggest news is a massive reissue of Bruce Springsteen’s “Darkness on the Edge of Town”. The Boss’s fourth […]
The Viewfinder: Pink’s “Raise Your Glass”
Sometimes, after seeing a video, you like a song a million times more. This is one of those instances. I love Pink because not only can she sing her ass off, but she doesn’t take herself very seriously, either. “Raise Your Glass”, the first single from her upcoming Greatest Hits album, has a clip that follows in the tradition of videos like “Stupid Girls” and “So What”. Over the course of the clip, you’ll see: Pink sumo wrestling with some […]
The 5ive at 5: 5 Women Who Make Me Wish I Was Straight (a Little)…(#5)
You gay dudes know the deal. Or maybe you don’t. You see a woman on the street, or in a bar…she’s incredibly attractive, has a great attitude, funny as all hell. Unfortunately, because of whatever cruel trick nature has played on you, you just don’t have the urge to have sex with her, so all you can do is enjoy her company and say to yourself “man, if I was straight…”. No? That’s just me? Anyhow, I don’t think all […]
Chartstalker!: 2/11/2010
This week’s Billboard album charts reflect what people went out and bought (or went into their living rooms and downloaded) during the 7 days that followed the Grammy Awards, and the results are hardly surprising. Just about every artist that performed on the show experienced a jump: Taylor Swift and Zac Brown Band return to the Top Ten, while Beyonce, Pink and Carrie Underwood jump back into the Top 20. There were even gains experienced by artists who appeared on […]
