BILLBOARD: Michael Jackson Set To Top Chart Sales Again
After his record-breaking chart week, the late Michael Jackson will continue to shake up the charts next week, too.
Industry prognosticators project that his “Thriller” album may sell as much as 110,000-130,000 by week’s end at the close of business on Sunday, July 5. “The Essential Michael Jackson” may move 90,000-110,000 while “Number Ones” could blow through 60,000-80,000.
DELICIOUS ALERT: Look at These Racks!!!
I’m going to have to work out extra hard this weekend because I plan to have these.
OH NO: Boyz II Men “Rep” Takes $7000.00 Deposit but Group Books Another Gig for 4th of July
Am I the only one who does not like the Michael Jackson tribute song by Diddy, The Game, Boyz II Men and the others? Dude from Boyz II Men is REALLY overdoing it with the riff in the beginning.
BROWNSVILLE – The Fourth of July concert celebration is still on at the Brownsville Sports Park, despite the celebration’s main act bowing out Grammy award winning group Boyz II Men will not perform at the celebration, citing “unforeseen circumstances,” city officials said. (”unforseen my ass, they got offered more money… they could SEE that shit) Instead, the group will be performing at the Fourth of July celebration in Dublin, Ohio, a spokesman for the city of Dublin said.
Michael Jackson Concert Refunds May Be Spared for those that want to Keep Tickets as Souvenirs
Wow, looks like Michael Jackson, even in death, has scored again. AEG was pissed about the advance they gave him that they will not be able to get back (unless they sue his estate depending on the terms) but they may even MAKE money based on the ticket sales now. The company says they were heavily insured, which means Jackson’s death will give them a return on their investment but to their advantage it is estimated that at least 40% of the people who purchased tickets want to keep them as souvenirs. Several people have tried to get their money back but are asking to keep the actual ticket and AEG is saying a flat out “NO, who gives you a refund and allows you to keep the merchandise.” They have a point. The ticket buyers are in a tether. They may be giving back something that may be worth much more than they paid for it in years to come.
Charlamagne Brings Much Needed Fresh Perspective to Urban Radio. Syndicated Shows Hurt Urban Radio’s Concept
I don’t give a shit what the numbers are with any of the syndicated shows. I have said it before and I will say it again syndication is KILLING urban radio. Urban radio has always been successful based on creating trends not waiting for them. Nothing against old jocks but young jocks keep the industry fresh and for the past 10 years or more that concept died when urban radio stopped nurturing new talent and opted for corporate programming and constipated consultants. Urban radio will continue to slide downhill as long as it remains homogenized. 29-year-old Charlamagne brings a much needed fresh perspective to urban radio and he makes it exciting again. Too bad there are not others like him around the country at urban instead of syndicated shows dominating the morning slots.

She looks 195% better and look at her confidence jump right off the picture. She performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City as a part of the Soul Summer series last week. I hear she just moved to Atlanta. I give her 2 years, she’ll lose another 60 pounds RUNNING back to LA (laugh).

The Reason Michael Jackson REALLY wore Gloves
Most people thought it was a fashion statement event labeling him as “The Gloved One” and Mike was brilliant in the way he turned lemons into lemonade but the REAL reason he wore gloves was because the vitiligo started on his hands. There are pictures on the net showing proof that he really did have the disease but out of respect for him, I won’t post.
