10. Jason Aldean My Kinda Party
Country fans are loving Jason Aldean,  his album has been on the charts for 34 weeks and he's still riding high in the Top 10. In other news, Swedish Death Metalers In Flames have a new album debuting this week, why don't we take a listen.

Oh ya that is some tasty metal, should crank this one in my pick up truck.

9. Weird Al Yankovic Alpocalypse
It's been five long years since everyone's favorite comedic musician but out a new album parodying the world of popular music. Now Al is back with his 13th studio album, a fresh single re imagining Lady Gaga's Born This Way, and his highest Billboard debut to date.

Oh Al, you never get old.

8. Lady Gaga Born This Way
Week 5, and despite her little monsters, Gaga is tumbling out of the Top 10. Hmmm, what do they call Adele's millions of fans.

Pretty good song, RIP Clarence, E Street will never be the same without you.

7. Pitbull Planet Pit
It's a good week for Pitbull, in six album releases since his debut in 2004, the Cuban rapper has landed his best finish to date. The bad thing is I really dislike Pitbull and so we won't be listening to anything off this new disc; sorry dog. Instead let's hear a track off Tech N9ne's new album, which in it's 3rd week is sitting at #41.

Out of the underground and into the mainstream, I'm impressed with this track (nice having Deftones backing you up).

6. Bad Meets Evil Hell: The Sequel
Bad Meets Evil is a rap group featuring Eminem and Royce. Things continue to go well for Em, last week this disc was #1, and this summer he has a  plethora of festival appearances that should continue to boast this music profile.

Nice to see Em trading lines in a rap song instead of just havin guest spots. Song is fun an dirty, just what I expect and I suppose want from an Em song.


5. Justin Moore Outlaws Like Me
Following a successful debut in 2009, Justin Moore has now topped the Country Music charts and landed high in the Top 10. I have no idea who Jusin Moore is so lets give this newest single a listen.

It's a formula country tune to be sure, but eh, it's still alright. Did like the Hank name drop and I'm sure Country fans will love the imagery the song creates about seeing your loved ones in heaven.
4. Jackie Evancho Dream With Me
The little girl who sold a shit load of records last Christmas, is back and certainly can still sing. Enough about little girls though, Black Country Communion is a group of aged veteran rockers. In week 2 on the charts, they've gone from #71 to #176.

Rock it till the Ripper comes boys.

3. Adele 21
Week 18 and Adele continues her complete domination of 2011, her new album yet to fall out of the Top 3 and continually reclaiming the #1 crown. But....what are the kids in the mall listening to you ask, well my lil brother says LMFAO who happen to have a new album on the charts.

Video makes me feel old and in desperate need of a Hot Topic wardrobe adjustment. While I am tempted to hate on this shit....it has a funky fun beat I could see myself shuffling to on the dance floor.

2. Bon Iver Bon Iver
After taking the world by storm in 2008, Justin Vernon has exploded into the music world hanging with Kanye West and starting two side projects. Now the time has come to show if he's got another For Emma in him, expectations are high; note the #2 debut this week.

I can't speak for the whole album, but this track certainly captures the mood and haunting atmosphere that make For Emma  so memorable.

1. Jill Scott The Light of the Sun
Actress, poet, and 3 time Grammy winner, Jill Scott scored a career high debuting at #1. Funny every week we seem to have entries like this, musicians scoring their first #1 or highest career debut. Looks like sagging album sales have their perks too.

Sooo, not in love with this song.
