Is Eminem getting lazy, or something? 2 compilations albums within the last 2 years. Ooh, little darlin' if you're
free 4 a couple of hours (Free 4 a couple of hours) If U ain't busy 4 the next 7 years (Next 7 years) Say, let's pretend we're married and go all night | |

Actually, it's more like a Theodore Unit album... Eminem presents/cosigns his homies. | |

Kind of funny how that works since Gwen has the biggest hit song out of the three. I gotta admit that I bought Ciara's new one but have to pick it up yet. | |

Not really that surprising considering Ciara has 3 times the airplay that Gwen does. It's just another case of Gwen's label buying a shitload of downloads to get her a high overall chart position. | |

It's funny but I don't listen to regular radio at all anymore so I have no idea if they are playing that new song or not. I just noticed Gwen's is higher on the charts, almost certaintly due to sales. Gwen might be the big seller over time, though. I do find it strange if the label is buying downloads for a higher chart position....shouldn't it be about money since I don't think anybody has given a shit about chart position in the US for a very long time (although it is higher visiblity on Itunes, which people see adn then think "Oh yeah, I might check that out"). And as much as I hated "Wind It Up" when I first heard it, it's catching my ear a bit.... | |

And not sales from normal purchases. Have you seriously found ONE person who likes Wind It Up? I sure as hell haven't. Gwen might be the big seller over time, though.
Don't think so. I do find it strange if the label is buying downloads for a higher chart position....shouldn't it be about money since I don't think anybody has given a shit about chart position in the US for a very long time (although it is higher visiblity on Itunes, which people see adn then think "Oh yeah, I might check that out").
It's really cheap to buy a chart position through iTunes...$100,000 can get you #1. Way easier than payola. And as much as I hated "Wind It Up" when I first heard it, it's catching my ear a bit....

Oops. Yeah, I guess you found the one. I haven't asked around....It's probably a better performance (seen her do it three times so far) than a song. | |
