"This is an interesting and vibrant time for the entertainment industry, music in particular, with the top four albums this week outselling last week’s number one," said Eric Weinberg, President,Nielsen Entertainment.

 
"We continue to see solid consumer demand for digital music sales, including full-length albums, with more than 40% of this week’s best selling album purchased digitally. Our data also shows independent retail music store sales up 10% for the week, driven by the reissue of the Rolling Stones’ classic ‘Exile On Main Street’ and new albums debuting from the Black Keys, Damian Marley & Nas, Band of Horses and LCD Soundsystem, and the attraction for vinyl remains high."

    Anybody else notice that the top of the charts in the past 6 or so years seems to be entirely controlled by little girls with far too large an allowance or babysitting pay?

    What’s with all the girly rock bands taking over? Lady Ga Ga is the next Cher, so no real surprise there but why is every rock/alternative song a ballad? Where did ROCK, the place between Alternative and Metal go?

    Top charts are useless nowadays.

    Music means life, without it life is boring and its the only way to express something on you, it is also one way to relax your self. Today, with the use of technology music transforms in different varities but dont you know that Music makes life long. Check this at docfiles.org

    I love Glee, and my whole family Loves Glee.
    I have all the CD so far plus the first season on dvd.
    I think it is one of the best shows on TV. It is particularly good for kids, as it is portraying good moral lessons and messages for everyone but particularly teens and teaching appreciation for good quality music with positive messages.
    More people need to know about it an watch it. It Appeals to a wide ranging audience.
    I can not say enough good things about it. I hope it stays on TV for a long time .
    There should be more positve, upbeat shows like this on TV and get rid of all the violence which is having a negative affect on the younger generation and as a result our society.
    it is about time they had shows like this on TV
