Mary’s “Stronger With Every Tear” to Debut at #2!!!

Mary’s new album is projected to shift around 300 to 350 thousand copies, a fata** sells weak by this year’s urban music standards. With artist like Rihanna, Mariah, Alicia Keys and Chris Brown only selling fractions of there previous albums first week, 300 thousand is certainly a blessing.

Mary’s last album “Growing Pains” charted a first week of 600,000 plus back in 07. MJB has a habit of releasing an album the week of Christmas, a habit she picked up and has been cuttin up with since 2005′s “Breakthrough”(700k+)…

Rihanna’s “Rated R” Will Be Platinum By Years End!!!

Posted in ALBUM DEBUTS, ALBUMS, DEF JAM, MUSIC, NEW ALBUMS, NEW MUSIC, NEWS, POPULAR MUSIC, RIHANNA, TRUECLEFMUSIC.COM, trueclefmusic with tags , , , , on December 26, 2009 by younravj

Rihanna got off to a slow start with “Rated R” but the album has been consistantly selling around 180 copies each week since release. The radio success of “Hard” has enabled this and I’m proud of her but hustling as hard as she has been these past couple months to promote this album!

If you have it, you know it’s arguably her best album yet. She’s finally becoming an artist. COP IT IMMEDIATELY!!!

Album sales of of this week:

*Week 1: 293.000

*Week 2: 161.000

*Week 3: 154.000

*Week 4: 196.000

Total: 804.000

Busta Rhymes has had a year to remember. As previously reported, after the release of his Back On My B.S. album, he was hit with a $75,000 lawsuit for assault.

Now leaving the B.S. behind in 2009, he’s preparing toreintroduce the world to his home team of rap lyricists.

While not releasing specific details Busta revealed that he was in studio with what he calls a “new Flipmode.” He tweeted about his new squad to his 130,000 plus followers saying:

“The new flip mode is in the studio right now!!!!!! Stay tuned!!!!!”

Particularly excited about the resurrection, he also made sure to add.

“Damn when I tell you the new decade 2010 is gonna be frightening, mark my word!!”

The FlipMode Squad are best known for there 2002 hit with Busta and Mariah Carey, “I Know What You Want”. I always wondered what happened to them, glad Busta hasn’t forgotten FlipMode! New music in 2010!!!

The Dream Is NOT Responsible for Mariah’s Weak Album Sells!!!

Mariah fans and the press alike have been attacking The Dream because of Mariah’s extremely low album sells.. The Dream should be praised for helping produce one of THE BEST Mariah Carey albums in her catalog! “Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel” is arguably better then “The Emancipation of Mimi” and rivals albums like “DayDream” and “Butterfly”.. The Dream is one of the best things to EVER happen to her production. The whole album is a credit to his talent. If people would listen to it before they judge it they would know that…

Some ignorant a** Mariah fans have been coming for my man on Twitter. He’s posted the following replies:

If anything Mariah should be blamed for this albums sells stats.. She back burnered the whole project to promote “Precious”! This album should have been pushed even hard the her last 2.. She, nor her fans can blame ANYONE but Mariah Carey.

It’s coo though, she’s fixing it. The re-release should put her exactly where she needs to be. Featuring roles by Nicki Minaj, Ne-Yo, R Kelly, K-Ci&JoJo and more almost insure this album will FINALLY get the recognition it deserves!

For some reason this dude urks the SH** outta me, maybe it’s because he likes to come for icons like R Kelly.. That said, his album is really good, slays actually. If you don’t have it I won’t say “COP IT IMMEDIATELY” but it is a good listen. He should be filming a video for “The Neighbors Know My Name” not “One Love”… (more about that above)

Jay-Z had one of the biggest debuts of the year and “The Blueprint III” is without a doubt one of the best hiphop albums in a long time. He’s runn’n sh** right now, crowning the Billboard Hot 100 with his collabo featuring Alicia Keys “Empire State of Mind”. The Hov’s new single features Kanye’s most promising protege, Mr Hudson (UK artist, don’t sleep on him). I’m posting this before I’ve had the chance to watch the video myself but I’ll comment once I peep it. :)

Welcome to the final week of the December Artist Feature. Mario Devon will answer his last question for the month and that question is as follows:

What upcoming projects are you working on and what plans do you have for music and yourself in 2010?

Mario’s Answer:

Well, I have a 3 single release with an internet radio station HotMix106.com in Sacramento, CA. They have over 5 million listeners daily. I’m also doing some major productions for artists such as Aubrey from the dismantled Danity Kane, Flo Rida, Jeremy Amelin, and I also have a track my contact wants to send to Justin Timberlake or Jay Sean. Big things are possibly gonna happen in 2010. And hopefully I can get signed to a publishing company as a producer. Basically, its a lot of work to be done.

Be sure to catch the feature live on the Thursday Shakedown with Sherryl Blu between 7 and 9!

Mariah Carey and Rihanna debuted at 200,000 and Chris Brown barely did 100k. Alicia’s track record and the success of “Empire State of Mind” enabled this great first week. Her last album “As I Am” debuted around 700k however..

Awwww yes!!!

I really liked this dude when he first came out, saw the massive potential. But the lack luster debut album paired with weak promo and b****a** stunts like the one he pulled at Lady Gaga’s Vancouver Concert have turned me and most everyone else OFF!

His reps have finally decided to comment on the rumors about Lady Gaga and Interscope putting Cudi out on his a** for punching a fan in the face during a show. They stated something to the effect of; Cudi is taking an early leave of absence from the tour to work on his 2nd album and fulfill some acting obligations… BULLSH**!!!
