Another Sad Day for Music: Billboard Record For Lowest Sales Week

theedgitator — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 16:07:06 +0000

Amos Lee takes the honor of Billboard’s #1 selling album of the week with a 40k shift of his latest album, Mission Bell. This marks Lee’s first #1 album and also breaks another sad record: official lowest album sales to top the charts since Billboard began the rankings in 1991. Rock band Cake previously held that title just a few weeks ago when their latest sold 44k. Guess there isn’t any new music we care to buy at the moment?…

Judge a Song By: Sara Bareilles Covers Coldplay

theedgitator — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 16:45:14 +0000

This is one of the best cover songs I’ve ever heard – hopefully Sara Bareilles will release it as a bonus track. It’s perfect. Chris Martin should be proud. Check out the clip from last night’s Z100 live stream from NYC.

Just can’t stop listening to The Naked And Famous, a sexier sounding Silversun Pickups hailing from New Zealand. TNAF will be in NYC on May 4th, Terminal 5. Count me in.

BABEWATCH: Sunday Girl

theedgitator — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:07:00 +0000

British pop singer, Sunday Girl, is the total package: hot with a voice (marketable). She’s making more noise in the UK, thanks to her covers of Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” and MGMT’s “Time to Pretend”, but with Diplo signed on as her producer, her original songs are Brit-pop good. Her music videos are just as hot, including the cover song of Laura Branigan’s “Self Control.” If the music thing doesn’t work, Sunday Girl (real name: Jade Williams) could always do magazine covers. Check out some of the goods below.

Stopping You in Your Trax: Chikinki “Ether Radio”

I was feeling tired when I came back home

I didn’t know the number on the telephone

Then I heard the sweetest voices

Calling through the dry ether radio

Ether radio, ether radio
