* People are going CRAZY for this AC/DC album. I'm sure the guys have been living on Cloud 9 for the past two weeks. Their first new album in years debuted at # 1 last week with 784,288 units sold (which is almost unheard of in this current economic climate). THEN they followed it up this week with another # 1 spot appearance, and an additional 270,923 sold. Therefore, they have gone platinum in two weeks. Congrats.
* Pink and John Legend both debuted respectfully so I'm happy for them (they both led with hot singles). Lady Gaga? Not so much. Guess "Just Dance" didn't have people as excited as Interscope had hoped.
* Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, and Toby Keith are keeping the country market booming with their three albums in the top 20.
* I gotta be honest, I'm pretty shocked that T.I. is only out for 5 weeks, and he's already topped one million units in sales, but then Ne-Yo's out for 7 weeks, and has only topped 500K units in sales.
* Be on the lookout for Miss TLC Music Mondays (starting November 10th) including album reviews, new artist alerts, and more!
