American Idol: David Cook Beats David Archuleta Again, This Time in Record Sales
Well, once more, David Cook has beaten David Archuleta.  One week after David Archuleta, the American Idol runner-up, clocked in at number 2 on the Billboard charts with his self-titled debut album, David Cook can take solace in another victory.  While Cook placed lower on the charts (his self-titled album debuted at number 3), he ended up selling 279,000 copies of his album, compared to Archuleta's 183,000 copies sold in his first week on the charts.  Even more, Archuleta's album plummeted i

Beyonce Scores Third Consecutive Chart-Topping Album

Sasha Fierce, or would Nickelback's Dark Horse ruin Thanksgiving dinner at the Knowles abode? Or would "American Idol" winner David Cook's self-titled debut outsell them both? Posted by

Beyonce Makes It Three In A Row With Fierce Chart-Topping Debut
Three mega releases hit stores last week, but of course, there's only room for one at the top of the chart. So would Beyoncé debut at #1 with her latest, I Am ... Sasha Fierce, or would Nickelback's Dark Horse ruin Thanksgiving dinner at the Knowles abode? Or would "American Idol" winner David Cook's self-titled debut outsell them both? No one could have predicted the outcome with any certainty, but as expected, the three releases will sweep the chart's top three spots on next week's Billboard albums

The Fray Get “Lost”
Lots of bands have their music used in television shows these days, but sometimes the context and the impact are a little more on-target than others. The fact that Lost is threading its teaser commercial for the upcoming season with The Fray’s “You Found Me” is pretty neat - the drama of the images moves with the drama of the song. We blogged about Lost last time around, and we’re big fans of the Fray - they’re one of our You Oughta Know artists. We thought those who feel the s

Maggots to Cross Paths With Comic Book Nerds, Devastation Will Ensue
The WTF story of the day goes to mask-wearing metal terrorists Slipknot and Dragonfly-riding prog-rockers Coheed and Cambria, which will tour together in the new year. And if we’re interpreting the symbols correctly, this is certainly one of the seven signs of the apocalypse. Trivium will open the show and, perhaps, assume the role of lukewarm water between the fire and ice iconoclasts. It may actually be a good career move for Trivium since, if Armageddon doesn’t arrive, there seems to be a p

David Cook - His Single “Light On” - First Listen!
Finally!  David Cook’s new single, “Light On” is available for preview at the AOL Popeater blog, right HERE. My verdict? While I was hoping for more Foo Fighters and less Hinder in David Cook’s debut single–not a fan of the Rock Power Ballad–I think the song is destined to be a radio hit. I’m not digging the minor-key verse, but when the song opens up in the chorus it’s got a hook that’s big, sweeping, romantic.  As always, Cook’s vocals are sp

Nickelback front man Chad Kroeger DUI in $176,000 Lamborghini
A Canadian judge allowed 'blowing in the face' evidence in a Driving Under the Influence case against Nickleback lead singer, Chad Kroeger, real name Chad Robert Turton. Kroeger’s defense claimed the evidence to be unconstitutional, which the Judge acknowledged, but still ruled that it could be accepted. He claimed 'The nature of the breach can best be described as technical, and will not affect the fairness of the trial.' Kroeger has pleaded not guilty to the charge of driving with a blood-alcoho

Yeah, The VMAs Suck Little Balls
Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington is saying what pretty much everyone else already knows: The MTV Music Video Awards are crap. Chester, who won an award for Best Rock Video, describes the award show like this: "The 'VMAs' are consistently clusterfucks, and this year set a new standard." Yep. Then he went on a little more about the format of the show: "Where were Foo Fighters and Nickelback? Or even a band like Three Days Grace, who had a pretty big year? There was no Vampire Weekend or Da
