What the fuck!?

LOL, with the exception of #9, I completely agree with u. Sad to say I added to the pockets of #1. I thought HEY! Thats number one it must be Reeeeaaall Good!"

OOOEEEE! I'll never follow the masses again. I hold my head in shame.

It's an extremely safe one (even Eminem).

That was my impression.

This does prove that maybe older folks have worse taste in music then the kids. Inflicting the world with Bocelli and Barry Manilow. For shame.

I blame the Republicans.

You should blame Simon Cowell.

Same diff

I guess the old saying is true...

They sure don't make 'em like they used to

DavidEye said:

Albums?

Are you referring to the quality of music or the sales numbers? I assumed numbers, because those are bad numbers! The number one album...just over 100,000 copies?

that is just a full-on musical crapstravaganza.

Isn't the Mary J album supposed to be good? I've only heard the single.

sextonseven said:

If you like Mary J., it's a very good album. If not, you're likely to still not care for it. It's her best in a while.

I have to admit, Jack Johnson is kinda sexy.
But other than that i have no clue why people like him so much. Same goes for James Blunt.

jayaredee said:

My friend Steve was asking me like what's up with Jack Johnson's popularity?

I know my cousin really likes him and Dave Matthews Band, so I think it's really all about the sensual acoustic guitar dude aspect.

Wow this is a good time to put my album out on the market!!!

who the fuck? I thought kids listened to the real shitty ass pop songs not some knock offs singing the shitty ass pop songs.

That's just pitiful. I honestly think that we aren't hearing a lot of the great stuff that is out there anymore because record companies would much rather push safe albums for kids (and the ones by and for older adults are selling too). "High School Musical"...Rock and roll is dead!

yeah.. its probably in the "top 5" worst charts ever...

They always say the first few months of the year are slow.. but dizzzamn.. its real slow this go around..

that kidz bop shit is hot...they covered outkast,green day,-since u been gone-...all gold.

dang. the tops album only sold 105,000

i remeber way back in 2001, when michael jackson scored a 'clossial failure' when his album only sold 8-10 million copys.... lolol



sign 'o' the times... huh?

Wonder what those kids sound like singing Bombs Over Baghdad

P2daP said:

Where do we begin.... You realize that album was a bomb because it was the most expensive ever (allegedly). I don't think that the "High School Musical" soundtrack really had any sales expectations...hell, I bet Disney is more surprised than we are. Or, prehaps, they bought a lot of copies and shot it up there just to make the news...I remember walking into Media Play right before they closed and there were litterally thousands of copies of some Winne the Pooh Halloween disc...and at that point they were probably like 10 cents if not less!
