The Whole Delivery

Photo from Billboard And over his mentor too, in a terrible week for album sales : Justin Bieber scoots back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with "My World 2.0," shifting 102,000 copies (down 65%) in its third week on the chart. It bowed atop the list two weeks ago with 283,000 but fell to No. 2 last week upon the No. 1-arrival of Usher's "Raymond v Raymond" (329,000 in its debut). This week, Usher's set slips to No. 2 with 92,000, down 72%. Despite that massive drop and his lowest first week sales in a long while, Usher may still have an outside chance for platinum. But it's going to be very very hard for him to reach that total. The highest debut was from the guitar playing Slash right at #3, although Billboard has the wrong number currently on their site in terms of what the correct amount was sold for that album. Now I don't know if EMI really wants to celebrate this and al with how abysmal these album sales are, but whatever: Sl...

(Photo: Daniel Mihailescu/ Getty Images ) Madonna got booed massively last night in Romania. And the reason why : ....that is, until she denounced the pandemic discrimination of Gypsies. Then, the crowd turned on her. There are many videos on Youtube on the concert form last night, including this one. Though I don't think it's her getting booed. Moving on, a misleading headline from ALLHipHop.com So, are the Black Eyed Peas banning Muslims from their concerts? Um, not the case : The government of Malaysia has banned Muslims from attending a Black Eyed Peas concert in the country, because the event is sponsored by alcohol company Guinness. The government issued the ban after learning that the Black Eyed Peas would be celebrating the 250th anniversary of Guinness’ first brewery as part of a concert at a theme park in Kuala Lumpur on September 25. “The party is only open to non-Muslims aged 18 years and above,” a representative for the Ministry of Information, Communication and...

Once again, I apologize for not posting a music news thread in a few days. Times get hectic, and that has been the case recently. In fact, it has always been the case, but you catch my drift. Anyway, here is the first of two news threads in the music world today (I promise there will be two). (Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images ) Haha, those Philly fans on Saturday will have a hard time beating Madonna in having the most disgust for Sarah Palin in this country (outside of Alaska and Walt Monegan of course). This is too hilarious : Madonna first banned the governor from the tour. In between sets, she screamed, "Sarah Palin can't come to my party! Sarah Palin can't come to my show!" As the week progressed, Madonna even threatened to "kick her ass." HAHAHAHAHAHA. Maybe the label was so freaked out that they had to say something to the material girl. "It's a metaphor," she said. "She's in the Republican Party, I'm in the Democratic P...
