Klou 2,414 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 OMG Kendrick's album has a 91 on Metacritic and that's with 19 reviews. Damn... http://www.metacritic.com/music/good-kid-maad-city/kendrick-lamar Meanwhile Red is down a couple notches to 76 with 17 reviews. Most crossover albums don't rate well, but she seemed to pull it off. I have a feeling critics seem to favor her and would have rated her well regardless. http://www.metacritic.com/music/red/taylor-swift Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad 32 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 get dat critical acclaim Kendrick His numbers are really impressive too. I had no idea he had that much hype around him. According to BB, he has a good chance of getting the highest debut for a male rap album this year (I guess BB considers PF:RR a rap album ). Young Jeezy has the highest currently with 233k.

Echo 326 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 So what was Riri's mediocre hit? WHYB? Then PTA should be considered one too. Nicki didn't do well on 100 but Rap/Hip-Hop charts say otherwise. get dat critical acclaim Kendrick His numbers are really impressive too. I had no idea he had that much hype around him. According to BB, he has a good chance of getting the highest debut for a male rap album this year (I guess BB considers PF:RR a rap album ). Young Jeezy has the highest currently with 233k. He is probably the best rapper since Kanye & Drake. He is just insane! :legend: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad 32 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 HDD seems to think that Britney's record is safe too. NEXT WEEK'S TOP 15: A big part of our job, these days, is coming up with new ways to think about how many records Taylor Swift is selling. So grok this: This week, Big Machine's big Red monster will likely sell more than the rest of the Top 50 albums combined. It may, in fact, have the biggest opening since 2005, when 50 Cent's The Massacre lived up to its name with a 1.14m bow. It's also due for the second-largest first week ever for a female artist, trailing only Britney Spears' massive "Oops ... I Did It Again," which opened with 1.319m way back in 2000. Here's how the field looks with the weekend looming: * Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 1.15-1.25m * Kendrick Lamar (Aftermath/Interscope) 235-245k Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) 135-145k Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 55-60k * Tony Bennett (Columbia) 30-35k P!nk (RCA) 25-30k Brandy (RCA) 21-24k * Stone Sour (Roadrunner) 21-24k * Lady Antebellum (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 19-22k Little Big Town (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 19-22k Scotty McCreery (Mercury Nashville/19/Interscope) 19-22k Adele (XL/Columbia) 19-22k * Gary Clark, Jr. (Warner Bros.) 18k-21k Miguel (RCA) 18-21k * Swedish House Mafia (Astralwerks) 17-20k * Debuts We'll be back with more ways to understand how huge Red is as soon as possible.

Arturo 40,746 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Not here for Gangnam Style going #1 next week. It's very close though. Hopefully OMN's radio power can pull through :) I stream the song daily too And wow!!! Impressive numbers for Kendrick. Congrats :clap: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 PSY may be rising because he is in North America ... I keep hearing radio spots about him appearing in Toronto very soon. Also Gangnam Style tends to sell best on the weekend, so if he is even with M5 now .... good sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Speaking of PSY, today in my European History class my teacher (who is obsessed with the song) played a video of him talking to the Prime Minister of South Korea I believe. I educated my class and told them that Maroon 5 has blocked PSY for 5 weeks. They all thanked Maroon 5 :smh: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
