I've never even heard of the majority of the names on that list. I think when I got rid of cable TV, that made the difference. Best move I ever made getting rid of cable. lol

I mean really that list of albums features about 90% artists that will never ever record again, we do all realize this....so how can an industry thrive when theres no catalog (future sales) being built, this business model of selling is done, the 90's are over, almost 30 years ago now, let it go.

I mean what the hell are the following....

One Direction (they are one and done, the only reason i heard of them is because Paul McCartney said something about their lame asses)

Hoodie Allen ? what the f is that

Gotye? sounds like a farm animal

The hunger games is that lame movie heard of that

Of monsters and men is this another lame movie?

Trip Lee? sounds like a football player

Prince Royce, is this another wack rapper that will sell only in the south?

Luke Bryan? first of all LUKE? like George Carlin said on his last of names, LUKE is not a real name

Alabama Shakes WTF? sounds like a store

What is this nonsense? No one on this list will ever record again, someone call them and let them know NOW!

Hoodie Allen ? what the f is that I dont know him

Gotye? sounds like a farm animal Goyte is really hot guy from down under he is totally blowing up right now I didnt know him few weeks back but he is going to be massive

The hunger games is that lame movie heard of that I wont call it lame i am not a movie guy but i like this one

Of monsters and men is this another lame movie? Ice landic group

Trip Lee? sounds like a football player no ideal

Prince Royce, is this another wack rapper that will sell only in the south? Not a rapper itsa a latin star doing good for last 1-2yrs

Luke Bryan? first of all LUKE? like George Carlin said on his last of names, LUKE is not a real name No idea

Alabama Shakes WTF? sounds like a store No idea

Album chart is always a revolving door with albums coming and going even if they dont have mainstream appeal

Alabama Shakes, I know.

It's a roots rock band fronted by this talented black female singer. I wouldn't dismiss them at least.

yeah but its been steady artists just coming and going with a record and later, to me its more of a waste to record records with these one album artists, its better to invest in one that might actually have 3-4 records. I dont think any will stick longer than this. I checked on a few and i think they were all lucky the music business is in the crapper, had it been a day when music mattered this numbers wouldnt even chart a record. the Prince Royce...is the album English? if thats the case, next, i thought those days were over, didnt anyone learn from Paulina Rubio going english. Gotye, i dont think will be anything long term, america likes australia every 20 years for about 6 months, so unless he will become an actor, america will forget him quicker than Robbie WIlliams, and Monsters and Men....well from Iceland and AMerica hasnt embraced anything from that side of the world since really a-ha, and they gave up on them when they showed growth, so im not too confident that america is going to dig and indie icelandic folk band for more than ten minutes

Since byork.

Well these r all diff genres and its not like these albums will have any ramaification on the chart. The album chart always has unkowns charting for one week and disappearing. Most of thr acts r niche groups
