wow,I didn't know that Journey has a new CD.Anyone hear it yet? Is it any good? Is Steve Perry involved?

SoulAlive said:

No Steve Perry . It looks like Journey is going through lead singers these days like toilet paper.

from amazon.com

>>>2008 brings the album Revelation from Journey. Neal Schon (guitar), Jonathan Cain (keyboards), Ross Valory (bass), Deen Castronovo (drums)--are proud to introduce fans all over the world to their new lead singer, Arnel Pineda ('pin-eh-da'). He replaces Jeff Scott Soto, who parted ways with the band earlier this year after stepping in for Steve Augeri, who had to leave the band in 2006 for medical reasons. <<<

Oh,I guess there's no reason to get excited then I wouldn't buy a Journey album without Steve Perry.I hate when these groups lose their lead singers and they hire second-rate "soundalikes"

They're touring this summer with Cheap Trick and Heart,btw.

I'm really amazed that Janet is no longer in the Top 200. New Amerykah, released the same day is hanging on.

Thats a crime , for one of the best albums of the year.

I think if Cyndi were on a smaller label, she would do better. Donna Summer is out selling her! And it's not like she is cranking out hit singles and is beloved by the kids. If anything, Cyndi has an in with more young people becuase her song was in "Napolean Dynamite" (and kids probably know her eigties hits more than they know Donna's mostly seventies songs).

JackieBlue said:

I think Janet still sold better overall.

Not sure if Badu is attempting another single from the album (other than "Honey", it's not single friendly...but "Honey" is sooo good that no wonder it still gets played). Unfornately, I don't think Janet saying "I'm not getting any help from the label" is excatly promotion of the album itself, so no second life/chance for it. A tour might help but ulimately it takes hit songs and/or lots of good press/feedback/buzz to sell albums. That Robert Plant/Allison Kruas thing doesn't excatly have "hits", but it should sell over a million in the next few weeks. Not bad. Not everyone is selling like they used to, but there are some surprisingly good numbers in totals out there.

VinnyM27 said:

Yeah, I think Jan definitely did better sales-wise. I wasn’t comparing them record for record but I just remember Erykah’s came out on the same day and was surprised she was still hanging on especially since she’s released nothing—not even a little underground video—post-Honey.

I never look at the charts but since they’re always posted here I started getting curious. I think I’ll avoid them again so I don’t have to see stuff like Cyndi debuting in the hundreds.

JackieBlue said:

Actually she debuted at #41 and sold 12,000. It was this week she fell 90 some spots.

I would see Cheap Trick and Heart (the original members of Cheap Trick I assume and the Wilson sisters ARE Heart, so nothing bad about that line up) but I would skip Journey...if they came on last, I would leave early!

Soulalive....Donna just out of the Top 100. Not unexpected, I guess, but 40K in this many weeks isn't bad. I just wish "Stamp" would have made a minor impact on the pop charts.

Did Cyndi do any promotion for the CD? Other than the org, I haven't heard of her doing any performances on TV anywhere. Can't sell CD's without promotion, ya know.

I'm really amazed that Janet is no longer in the Top 200. New Amerykah, released the same day is hanging on.

It doesnt matter what kind of PROMO either her or Donna would do, the labels, radio and tv are all catering to teens. Sure they can bullshit you into saying they play everything, but everytime i turn on the video stations all i see is Chris Brown and Rihanna doing the same old song and dance. Now im not saying DONT play them, but open up the formats, open up the playlists to more than 5 artists. Until the playing field is EQUAL dont HOPE for better than a 100,000 from the older veteran artists.

Yeah I know, 15 weeks passed and she's selling less than 3,000 copies a week, terrible. And yes I know her label is also to blame, but let's not forget she had 4 singles sent to radio, and 2 videos... But oh well, maybe her next album will be better than just a collection of songs her label gave her to record.

Releasing 2 singles at once was a dumb ass idea since the label got scared and stopped all promotion when they didn't hit the charts after a week or so! Also, no remixes (that I remember). How could you tell those were singles?

Does anyone think Janet will really make another album with Def Jam after this? I think she might actually take that long break she needs and do some writing and thinking....JD has got to get out of the studio and the board room!

and we are still talking about Janet....

let dying dogs lie...

I know her label has issues with promo, but come on it's not like she is re writing the book.

I actually think the donna summer single is better than her feedback or whatever.

I am always amazed at the bleeding hearts orgers have for the jackson clan.

When they pull out an album as good as let's say REM's latest after have a down album, then we can talk.
