On the album chart, we’re in the calm after the storm, as sales for Coldplay and Lil Wayne settled down to mortal levels while the new-release schedule reverted to its normal, blockbuster-free ways. Coldplay’s Viva la Vida stayed at No. 1 with 249,000 copies sold, a 66 percent drop from last week’s 721,000-unit opening. The second and third spots belonged to the same acts as last week, too: Lil Wayne, whose Tha Carter III (No. 2) was down 32 percent to 209,000 in its third week, and Disney’s Camp Rock soundtrack (No. 3), which sold 169,000 in week 2. That last title suffered a fall of only 10 percent, thanks to Jonas-mania being not quite as subject to diminishing returns as other musical phenomena. (More on your teen idols in a minute, kids!)
If the Jonas Brothers make you think at all about girls, girls, girls, then that’s the perfect segue to mentioning that Motley Crue entered at No. 4, selling 99,000 copies of Saints of Los Angeles, the band’s first album with its original lineup in more than a decade. In the No. 5 slot on the Nielsen Soundscan chart, Three 6 Mafia found out just how tough it is or isn’t out there for an Academy Award-winning hip-hop crew, moving a respectable 77,000 copies of Last 2 Walk, their first album since picking up the best song Oscar two years ago. Hard rock band Shinedown’s third album bowed at No. 8 with sales of 50,000, their best opening yet. Other new entries of note included Sigur Ros at No. 15 (32,000 copies) and Cute Is What We Aim For at No. 21 (23,000).
On the digital songs chart, Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” had a second
week at the top, adding 206,000 downloads to its babealicious 1.2
million total. (Perry’s new album isn’t quite as hot as that track; the
CD fell four spots to No. 13 this week.) But the singles register is
all about the Jonas Brothers right now. The lads’ “Burnin’ Up” debuted
at No. 2 on Soundscan’s digital songs list with a fiery 183,000. A Joe
Jonas/Demi Lovato duet from the Camp Rock soundtrack, “This is
Me,” fell one spot to No. 3. The brothers’ “Play My Music” stands at
No. 12, and Joe’s “Gotta Find You” is No. 16. If you’re doing your
math, that’s four out of the top 16 singles claimed by one or more
Jonases. Increasingly, it’s looking like the release of the boys’ third
album in August will be one of the bigger launches of the year.

we are reading a lot of fake news these days. Did you remember the news about Britney’s pregnancy, Lindsay’s joining on the famous rich men seeking affairs site W e a l t h y L o v e s c om? Is this news true or not? who knows…
Check out this CD! It sounds for the world like a new Beatles album with 11 new Lennon/McCartney/Harrison songs. This debut album by “The About”, titled “Iter Itineris”, has received great reviews from Beatles fan clubs, Beatles radio, and Ken Mansfield, former Beatles US Apple Records manager. Go to the following site for free sound clips and to read comments made about this amazing new album, that is causing people to ask which Beatles album these songs appeared on.The actual CD sounds much better than the mp3 sound clips, but you can get an idea of what The About is about.
