A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

OLD PEOPLE BUY RECORDS: Last week was a huge week for album releases, with new records from Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Adam Lambert, and Shakira all hitting record stores and iTunes. But your winner, and new record holder for best opening week for a female artist's debut album is Susan Boyle, who sold 701,000 copies of her debut album, good enough for the second highest opening week for a debut, behind only Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle, and the biggest debut week of the year. Lambert may have lost the Idol title, but more than doubled Kris Allen's opening week numbers and was at #3, behind the Andrea Bocelli Christmas album. This strikes me as an appropriate time to ask what you're buying and listening to these days, so let's discuss.
