Oh I didn't hear about the song till you mentioned it. I guess I was distracted by the Golden Globes and the new Billboard charts.

Cool.

In US? It is around 7.4 million if you mean WW she should be passing 15 million mark this week.

[blackbeatxx]

25 is at 7,6 million in US in pure sales. 8,2 million with SPS.

WW, we dont have the estimates yet for last week, but after 6 weeks it stands at 15 million!

[blackbeatxx]

holy ****, that effect!

[brianc33616]

It's weird that the only song Bowie has without a Dark Green Update on Pop Bars is "Blackstar", which has a light green update. And that is because Kworb only awards 18 Dark Greens per update, and "Blackstar" is #19. Every Dark Green update on Pop Bars belongs to Bowie.

Exactly. Bowie's aim never was to be a Justin Bieber (not putting Bieber down, but that's a great way to contrast the two). He considered keeping to his musical convictions more important, and refused to let his labels lead him in a particular direction. I'd like to see more of Bowie's stances out there today.

Real Rock artists put out lyrically superior and far more complex songs than what you hear at Top 40. I'm actually surprised Adele has actually done as well at Pop radio as she has, given her own tendency to not cater to the 12-24 year old crowd.

The Sound Of Silence is lyrically superior to anything in the Top Ten (yes, even Hello), largely because Paul Simon refused to cater to the trends in the mid 1960s. He and Garfunkel didn't set out to be the next Beach Boys, Herman's Hermits, or Monkeys. And Simon & Garfunkel weren't the Beatles or Rolling Stones either, though the latter two bands (especially the Stones) went against the grain more than with it.

EDIT: Led Zeppelin strayed even further from the mainstream, and in doing so are among the most respected, if not the most respected band, in music history. They have several albums exceeding 10 million copies, and influenced hundreds if not thousands of musicians along the way.

The Beach Boys went against the grain with Pet Sounds, and also Pink Floyd, AC/DC, The Doors, Velvet Underground, etc.

But yeah the best music artist definitely showed back then because they're album sales were massive and didn't have much luck with single sales. In face most of Led Zeppelin biggest songs didn't even chart. This is why I laugh at ATRL thinking charting is anything great when the majority of that trash will be long forgotten in 20-30 years.
