The results of this week’s round of album sales are trickling in, and it looks like Neil Diamond will take the top spot, selling in the neighborhood of 125,000 copies. Diamond’s previous album, 12 Songs, debuted at No. 4, which may be a sign that Matt Sweeney’s acclaimed guitar work on Home Before Dark is responsible for its success. Projections have all non-Neil Diamond albums selling below the six figure benchmark; Clay Aiken slides into second place with less than half of the first-week sales of 2006’s A Thousand Different Ways. What happened, Claymates? You’ve let your red-haired angel down. Madonna and Mariah Carey hang on desperately to the three and four spots, while Gavin DeGraw, Toby Keith, Leona Lewis, Josh Groban, Dierks Bentley, and Michael Buble round out the most depressing top ten in recent memory.

don’t forget clay’s blond now
That picture makes my day.
I think all of the psychotic Clay fans have moved on to other “wholesome” idols like Archuleta.
Is this not a sign of Ragnarok? Things have gotten so bad in the music community that Neil Diamond is beating out Madonna. Wow. Just wow. The rest of the people seem to be internet sensations. This really makes me want to punch a record exec in the mouth.
that picture is worth a thousand nerds
I love Neil Diamond and am stoked he finally got a #1 album.
I guess that’s all I have to say about that.
Jonny Polonsky also plays on that record. Mid-90s college radio music director types might remember having that dude shoved down their throats. Wait, that doesn’t read so right…
Right on Brother, great layout, nice opinions, fantastic blog. one in a million. :)
