Was Kanye #1 for the second week? |
Nope
This last week's Billboard Chart was ruled by America's favorite females and Christmas. Not a lot of new faces in the top 20, with only three new debuts present, but some holdiay albums from last year have reclimbed the album mountian. Let's Blitz!
20. Janson Aldean My Kinda Party
19. Katy Perry Teenage Dream
18. Josh Groban Noel
17. Jazmine Sullivan Love Me Back
16. Rascal Flatts Nothing Like This
15. Keith Urban Get Closer
14. Andrea Bocelli My Christmas
13. Kid Rock Born Free
12. Mariah Carey Merry Christmas II You
11. Justin Bieber My Worlds Acoustic
10. Rihanna Loud
Rihanna's third week on the charts, and she's barely hanging onto the top ten.

Holy shit, Rihanna is fucking sexy as sin. She's bouncing around at the start of the video, saying somthing or other, looking fucking amazing. Than the music gets all a litle intense and we close up to Rihanna saying "Make me the only girl in the world", almost like it's a threat. She goes back to showing off her body somwhat, but now she's listing off demands, playing the monogamy card women always do. Sigh, you may be the hottest chick in the music buisness so I guess I'll let it slide.
9. Josh Groban Illuminations
Christmas time is a good time to be Josh Groban. He's got two albums in the top 20, last year's moster hit Noel and his new disc Illuminations. Third week on the charts and last week he fell out of top 10, but he's clawed his way back up.

This dude's got serious talent, not sure if he wrote this song or not but he fucking sang it into submission. Might have to check out that Noel album, guy seems like he can sing a Christmas song pretty adequately.
8. Nicki Minaj Pink Friday
The rising new female star of hip hop, Minaji is suddenly everywhere. It's a fun campaign, put her face everywhere and just say she's the new queen of hip hop. People like me just shrugg and say 'ok'; no idea who this bitch is or if she even has any talent. Last week she hard a mammoth burst of sales, second only to Mr. West. This week though the underlyns of last week's 3-10 have risen up and booted her to the back of the line.
Here on "Romans Revenge" she teams up with Eminem. I guess I can see why people like her, she's got flow and sounds gangster for a pretty girl with pink hair. Eh, does little for me. Want to be the reigning queen of hip hop title, fine, lol who cares.

7. Kanye West My Dark Twisted Fantasy
Hey Kanye, it's week two for your new album and it looks like you've taken a bit of a spill; falling off the mountain. I thought your massive release would hang up there a little longer, but hey no shame I mean your only loosing to six other albums of which only two are new releases. Rember Taylor Swift, the young girl you recently re-insulted at your CD release party, ya she's beating you and her album's been out for six weeks, instead of two. I have a perdiction Mr. West, she's going to sell way more units than you. Asshole.
This is actually a really good song, but god dammit get rid of that fucking auto-tune shit; holding back the tracks protential.
6. Black Eyed Peas The Begining
The Peas have to be a little disapointed with the debut sales of their new album. Last year's album debuted at #1, and before that they debuted at #2. Oh well, stiff competition I guess, though I secrectly hope this group would disappear.
Lemmy help us all, so fucking awful. Fuck you Black Peas bastards for ruining an actual good song with your bullshit robot stylings. Awful, awful, awful, it's like the Transformers 2 of of music; a crime against humanity and actualy artistic vision.
5. Glee The Music Season 2
Here's the other top 10 debut for the week, another Glee album. Dam that shows popular.
Here the cast is ruining a song by the Killers, it's like Kid Bops for teenagers. Shit.

4. Glee The Christmas Album
Eh.
Eh.
3. Jackie Evancho O Holy Night
The littel girl with the amazing voice, staying strong at #3 in her third week.
The little lady hits another home run.

2. Taylor Swift Speak Now
America's favorite blonde sweetheart, Taylor Swift, has jumped back to #2 in her 6th week on the charts. The album's already gone 3x Platinum in the United States, a huge feat in today's music industry, and shows no signs of stopping.
Another well written song for Taylor. I'm not really into this kind of music, but I had no problem getting through this one. Solid work girl.

1. Susan Boyle The Gift
Week four on the charts and Susan surges to the top, Kanye be damned. This diamond in the rough just can't be beat, she has an amazing voice that has stunned the entire world.

Here Susan tackles Leonard Cohen's immortal "Hallelujah", one of the greatest songs ever written and recorded by pretty much everyone you can think of. I was ready just to skip over this track, what the fuck could she add to this song, Jeff Buckley perfected it, but really she does a bang up job. Beautiful, haunting, and sang perfectly, Susan sings one of the best versions I have ever heard; and I've heard like a 100 covers of this one. Good work Susan, you've certainly earned this top spot.
What ever happened to.............last week's Top Ten?

Lesson for My Chemical Romance, waiting four years for a new album might not be the best strategy in today's quickly changing music scene. Big bands with a stable fanbase decades old can get away with it, hell it benefits them to wait four or five years between releases, but for most bands you become forgotten and replaced by a new band, scene, or genre of intrerest. The remants of your US fanbase apparently all rushed out and bought your album the first week, because now it's falling like a lead ballon. A lot has changed since 2006's Black Parade, the Emo scene is largely in decline and your old audience is growing up (proably listening to Arcade Fire now). Oh well maybe you guys can turn it around, you are a pretty good band in my book; otherwise wait ten years for Emo nostalgia to kick in.
Witty, amusing, and spot on!
