Wed Sep 21 2011 by Robbie Daw
Nashville trio Lady Antebellum steer their third album Own The Night straight to the peak position on Billboard's Top 200 album chart this week after selling 347,000 copies out of the gate. It's the band's third #1 album, and their third consecutive LP to place in the Top 10. Elsewhere, another country artist, Brantley Gilbert, sees a debut in the upper reaches of the Top 200 (#4), while rockers Staind, Dream Theater and The Devil Wears Prada place high, as well. More »

On The Borders: What People Aren’t Buying

Thu Apr 2 2009 by Lucas Jensen

As part of book giant Borders’ slashing of its DVD and CD sections, the store here in Athens, Ga., is selling its CD and DVD inventory at 50% off. The standard pre-liquidation price for a CD? $18.99. So at 50% off, most of the remaining inventory was still as much as it would have been at Best Buy, Target, or Wal-Mart. In fact, in most cases the prices were exactly twice what they were at the Big Boxers, particularly in the DVD/Blu-Ray section.

It Was Fun While It Lasted, Jonases

Fri Aug 29 2008 by Dan Gibson

It’s too close to call next week’s No. 1 album, but in all likelihood, it’ll be by someone much less palatable to the parents of today: The Jonas Brothers’ two-week stay at the top will be thwarted by either the name-dropping MC the Game or the masked metallers Slipknot. More »


They Tried To Make Me Listen To Rehab, I Said, “No, No, No”

Thu Jul 31 2008 by Al Shipley

Many people find it hard to tell the great from the godawful when it comes to 21st-century mainstream rock. To help figure out which is which, here’s “Corporate Rock Still Sells,” where Al “GovernmentNames” Shipley examines what’s good, bad, and ugly in the world of rock and roll. This time around, he looks at an eight-years-in-the-making hit by an act that was once seen as a rap-rock also-ran, as well as a few other developments on the rock radio charts.
