Billboard Blitz!!!!!!!!!! February 2

Did the Cowboy rope a #1?
Nope.

Looking at the Billboard Top 10 each week can often be a demoralizing chore as the same bands hold onto the highest spots while new albums flounder at the bottom of the hill, this week is a different story. A slew of new albums lead by Tim Graw have over taken the mountain, claiming 7 out of 10 spots this week. Change is a good thing people. In other news Adele remains queen with her 18th week at #1.

9. Drake Take Care
Amnestiy International has released a massive Bob Dylan covers album featureing everyone frome Miley Cyrus to My Chemical Romance to My Morning Jacket. Pretty cool, and the funds got to help peeps.

Best cover of that song I've ever heard.

8. Seal Soul 2
Hey remember Seal, he's got a new album out even though I havent paid any attention to him since The Batman Forever Soundtrack.

Oh, I guess this is a covers album.

7. Kellie Pickler 100 Proof
Country sweetheart Kellie Pickler is back with her third album and thanks to Tim McGraw it will be her first album not to reach #1 on the Country Charts, though it is her hightest release on the Billboard Charts.

Song isn't doing much for me, but I will say Pickler is holding my attention.

6. Kidz Bop 21
Stupid fucking kids are still in the Top 10. Here's Lacuna Coil's new single as the Italian metal band celebrates their highest US album entry to date.

Eh, they look much better in black than white.

5. Ingrid Michaelson Human Again
New York singer songwriter Ingrid Michaelson is having a big week as she breaks into The Top 10 with her 5th album. Never heard of this chick before but it looks like she's been steadily building a fanbase since 2005.

Was an alright song.

4. 2012 Grammy Nominees
The Grammys are approaching and as always once the show permieres winners will begin rising on the charts, even obscure ones. Until than let's hear a track from the Hold Steady frontman's new solo album that debut at #89 this week.

Fun song, but Jesus is really a dickhead.

3. Lamb of God Resolution
With their 6th album, Lamb of God scores its highest release to date and their second time in the Top 10. Nice to see a Metal band roar so high into the Billboard Charts.

Devil horns in the air.

2. Tim McGraw Emotional Traffic
Tim McGraw has scored his 14th Top Ten release and his 13th #1 Country album, though this new album sold around half in its first week as his last effort, 2009's Southern Voice, did. Here's his latest single:

I apoligize for showing a video from The View.

1. Adele 21
49 weeks on the Billboard Charts and 18 of those weeks at #1. Here's the latest single from the newly reunited rockers The Darkness.

Rock on boys.
