 Young Jeezy may be all about cred, but he  s now also all about big debuts

  • Young Jeezy may be all about cred, but he s now also all about big debuts. His new record, Inspiration: Thug Motivation, sold 352,392 copies in its first week on the charts, securing it the Number One spot, just ahead of Soul Patrol leader Taylor Hicks self-titled debut, which sold 298,199 copies in its first week. Also noteworthy on this week s charts: Grammy-nominee queen Mary J.

    Blige came in at Number Nine with her new album Reflections: A Retrospective (which sold 171,093 copies in its first week) and Beyonce s B-Day making a big show as a go-to last-minute holiday purchase with 20 percent more copies sold this week than last week.

  • A that founding Procol Harum member Matthew Fisher is entitled to 40 percent of the copyright on Whiter Shade of Pale. Though he s not being awarded the back royalties he requested, the song is a huge ringtone hit, so he and (now co-writer) Gary Brooker can duke out over this generation s downloading dollars.

    Okay, that s depressing.

  • Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler has confirmed the band s new record will be titled Neon Bible. I can t wait for you to hear it, Butler wrote on the band s .

    Neither can we, Win it s so cool when you talk directly to us like that. Kiss kiss!

  • It s depressing to admit, but Coldplay s Happy Holidays video is way more fun than Metallica s.

    This is not the season to be cool, which makes it perfect for Coldplay, whose usually nauseating goofy sincerity really comes across well in this stupid, sweet .

  • Who wants to purchase Neverland for $50 million? Okay, how about a nationally televised tour of the place?

    All of us, even those over the age of ten, can check out Michael Jackson s legendary love nest/theme park on , when the place is featured as a part of its series Million Dollar Listing: Hollywood. What horrors lie therein?

  • It is so easy for folks to be nasty hiding behind a monitor.


    Fun, too. It is so easy for folks to be nasty hiding behind a monitor.
    Elizabeth, you just keep freeing that free thing.

    You re groovy, girl. Don t let the bastards drag you down. Good God, a greatest hits collection does not an album make.

    A Mary J. Blige album does not an album make for that matter. * The following code is Copyright 1998-2004 Opinionlab, Inc.
