Ok so I really want to start this new "weekly news update" section on the blog, it will have a summary of most of the things that went down during the week, from who topped the charts to the new viral videos to quick news updates about whats going down worldwide(most of the news will be music related tho, for this week at least). Hopefully I can keep up with this for the next few months or even years :).
First on this week's roundup is Bruno Mars. I knew that dude was a star since I first heard him on B.o.B's nothing on you, and I've said that twice before, refer to my
Grammy nominations and
Top 10 Billboard blog posts. So what has he done again this time? Well, Bruno is the only act in 13 years to have his first to solo released charting singles get to number 1 on billboard. Thats success right there, this was confirmed when "Grenade" hit number 1 on billboard a few hours ago. Not forgetting that he had a number 1 hit with B.o.B.("Nothing on You" which doesn't count in the record) and a nuuber 4 hit, "Billionaire" with Travie McCoy. Way to go, Bruno, you are a star, keep doing good and we'll keep supporting
P.S. The only person to achieve this before Bruno was Diddy in '97
In other news, Wiz Khalifa and Enrique Iglesias's singles, "Black and Yellow" and "Tonight(I'm Loving You) have debuted on billboard's top 10 with numbers 6 & 7 respectively. Also, I just had sex by Lonely Island and Akon has made it's billboard debut, and it comes in this week at no 30.
In album sales news, Taylor Swift's "speak now" is back at number 1 due to Christmas sales, Susan Boyle's "The Gift" came in at number 2 this week. Newcomers Jamie Foxx, Keisha Cole and Keri Hilson with their respective albums, "Best Night of my Life", "Calling all Hearts" and "No boys Allowed" debuted at #6, #9 and #11 respectively.
Finally, a gossip is slowly cropping up on the media. Kim Kardashian, who is supposedly working on her "new album" with The Dream, was seen in the same California studio as Kanye West, and even though they weren't together, word is out that they might have a collaboration up their sleeve. It's weird the way everyone is turning to music to pay the bills, it's not about talent anymore. However though, I can't say if Kim has or doesn't have talent cause I've not heard her sing, also it's a really smart move on her path because people will buy her music just cause she's Kim, it won't really matter what she sings (That's my opinion btw).
