The previous week in music was considered the BIG MUSIC WEEK OF 2009. It's a big title to hold up to. To an extent it was a good week. Both Lady GaGa and Rihanna had awesome albums. Susan Boyle went number 1 (awwww....) and well Adam Lambert...was Adam Lambert.
The one thing I did not expect was Susan Boyle selling so massively! The top selling female album so far this year! To tell you the truth, I didn't even know the album was out.
Rihanna really didn't have a great week. Mind you her album didn't sell horribly (181,000, her highest first week) and the album was pretty decent. Many fans will point to the fact that Good Girl Gone Bad sold even less the first week. Here's the thing, Good Girl Gone Bad was a hit album. Every single was going to be a hit. Anyone who listened to it would know what I'm talking about. This new album (as good as it is) does not have the hits.
On a positive note, Lady GaGa had an awesome first week, her concert kicked off (in Montreal [I was there]) and it was a great dramatic extravaganza of flamboyancy. So in all it was pretty awesome. Her album the Fame Monster opened to strong commercial and critical success considering it was a re-release.
I'm not going to talk about Adam Lambert cause I don't want to give him anymore press...Frankly he doesn't deserve it. Thanks for checking in!
