it seems that 2000 was a good year for music, too bad the rest of the 2000s ruined it
 
It's funny how that dress wouldn't seem so scandalous today or, at the very least, it wouldn't receive all the coverage as it did back then.

seriously.

I LOVE you make me wanna. that's like, my favorite usher song ever.

no, i also like burn.

i am an usher addict. twinsies, i was listening to climax last night on the radio on the way home from the movies with steviej and bhaus!
 
also, another two artists who rose in the last decade and were awesome songwriters, vocalists and performers - alicia keys and norah jones.
 
I don't like any of his new stuff. :barf:

At least I still have his older, better stuff to keep me entertained.

Edit: Palindromic post!

Climax is definitely more reminiscent of old Usher instead of his more recent lame, dancey tracks. its really good

Madonna's 'MDNA' Officially Posts Biggest Album Sales Drop of All Time

The percentage dip surpasses the record set by Lady Gaga's "Born This Way", when it fell 84.27% in its second week.

This week, Madonna's MDNA earns the distinction of the largest second-week percentage sales drop for a No. 1-debuting album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. The album slides from No. 1 to No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with a 86.7% sales decline (falling from 359,000 to 48,000 according to SoundScan).
The percentage dip surpasses the record set by Lady Gaga's Born This Way, when it fell 84.27% in its second week on the chart dated June 18, 2011. Born This Way bowed the previous frame at No. 1 with 1.11 million, and then sold 174,000 in its second week at the top of the chart. Born This Way's debut was amplified by Amazon MP3's decision to offer the set at 99 cents twice on two separate days during its premiere week.
MDNA's large fall was expected, as its debut was bolstered by sales gained from a concert ticket/album promotion as well as preorders from iTunes. Further, without a current hit single on our major airplay charts nor any substantial recent promotion on Madonna's part, the drop was bound to be significant.
Both MDNA and Born This Way would have not had such steep drops, had it not been for unusually enhanced first-week sales.
While MDNA has the biggest drop for a No. 1-debuting set in SoundScan history, it's actually the second-biggest fall for a top 10-bowing album. The largest second-week collapse for a top 10-debut was for the rock compilation titled The Edge on April 10, 2010. It sold 53,000 when it bowed at No. 4 and then fell by 87.2% to 7,000 (No. 81) in its second week. The Razor & Tie compilation saw its sizable first week sales generated by a direct-response TV ad campaign and preorders.
Most superstar albums that start at or near the top of the chart fall by 60% to 80% in their second week. And, high-debuting sets that are especially front-loaded by pre-orders, niche fanbases or unusual marketing campaigns take harder hits.
MDNA's lead single "Give Me All Your Luvin'" (featuring Nicki Minaj & M.I.A.) peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 -- thanks to strong initial sales. However, on the Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart -- the diva's home radio format -- the single faltered at No. 24 and spent only five weeks on the list. The album's second single, "Girl Gone Wild," has yet to dent the Mainstream Top 40 tally."

As I said before, the bitch can't sing. It's a marvel that album landed in the top 100 at all, let alone at the #1 spot.

I love 3eb! 😍 I'm going to see them in early May, along with Coheed & Cambria.

Edit: I just learned that the All-American Rejects are also playing at this festival.
