The 2012 MTV VMA ceremony is currently underway and the stars are out in full force! Hosted at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, several of the biggest names in Pop music have already landed on the red carpet.
Guess who’s back in the top 10 of the Billboard 200? That’s right, Adele has rebounded on the US charts with ’21′ and surpassed Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ in the history books among albums with the most weeks in the upper region of the Billboard 200.
Balance was restored to the Billboard 200 this week as the good music of Adele’s ’21′ could no longer keep the album in the top 10 of the chart and a dark force of unparalleled garbage has topped the lineup. Yes folks, last week’s sales predictions were correct and Trey Songz’s ‘Chapter V’ has hit […]
Here are two artists that most people would never expect to see mentioned in the same sentence: 2 Chainz and Taylor Swift. Don’t worry, the odd pair don’t have a collaboration in the works – at least, not yet. Rather, they both scored major debuts on the US charts this week.
Elle Varner’s promotional efforts have resulted in an unexpected yet welcome high ranking of her ‘Perfectly Imperfect’ album on the US charts. In fact, the LP has locked a position in the top 5 of the Billboard 200 with sales exceeding initial expectations.
Rick Ross’ strategy of appearing on everybody’s songs and clogging the radio airwaves with his grunting has paid off as his new album, ‘God Forgives, I Don’t’, has topped the Billboard 200. In fact, the heavyweight rapper has notched a personal best with the highest opening sales of his career.
Jennifer Lopez experienced a career resurgence on the US charts since accepting her now former judging role on ‘American Idol’ but that success has been proven to be limited to the Billboard Hot 100. Indeed, similar to her ‘Love?’ album, the diva’s ‘Dance Again: The Hits’ has flopped.
Kelly Clarkson is known for her impressive covers of other artists’ songs but one selection in particular has left her competition in the dust. The first ‘American Idol’ performed a rendition of Katy Perry’s ‘Wide Awake’ at the Sleep Train Pavilion that made the original sound rather dull.
Frank Ocean’s ‘channel ORANGE’ debut at #2 on the Billboard 200 on the strength of digital sales alone and many predicted that when the record was made available in physical form that it would maintain its chart lead. However, Nas ended all hopes of that occurrence as his ‘Life is Good’ set has nabbed to top slot […]
It has been another major week of commercial achievements on the US charts, and Frank Ocean, Pink and Adele were all among the big winners. From an impressive debut of one artist to the everlasting success of another, the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 were action packed!
