Chart Stalker 3/10/11: The British Femmes Have It
Let’s give it up for Adele, folks. Her sophomore album, 21, hangs on for a second week at #1 on the Billboard albums chart, with an impressive tally of 168,000 copies sold. Following last week’s 2011-high first week, it officially brings the British vocalist over the half a million mark and gives her the year’s best selling album after only two weeks in stores. It’s also gotten notice for jumping over the million sold mark in her native England, although […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Eminem’s Saving the Music Industry, But is “Recovery” His Best Work?
I have a love/hate relationship with Marshall Mathers. As a hip-hop head, I have to give the man respect for his talent. At a time when most now-school rappers can’t even freestyle properly, Eminem is almost a throwback emcee. The dude has skills that name-your-favorite-current-rapper can’t touch with a ten-foot pole. That said, there are also plenty of things that trouble me about Eminem. Like most people who were bullied as kids, he himself takes pleasure in bullying others less […]
How Strong *Is* Christina Aguilera’s “Bionic”?
I was fully expecting “Bionic”, the fourth English-language studio album from Christina Aguilera, to be a disaster. I wasn’t sure how her bombastic vocals and pop sensibility would blend with an intriguing list of collaborators. My suspicions seemed to be confirmed once I heard the fairly generic first single “Not Myself Tonight” and follow-up “Woohoo”, which features the unbelievably annoying Nicki Minaj. There was no way in hell “Bionic” was not gonna be a hot mess. Well, “Bionic” is kind […]
