Behind the Rolling Stone Cover Shoot Miranda Lambert: Exclusive Video

SAME ROCK MORE EVIDENCE HAS RISEN THROUGH FIELD:

At a time when sales of music superstars' have decreased with each release - I poor Mariah Carey. I'm Mariah. . . The elusive Chanteuse sold 58,000 before falling out of the top 10 - Rolling Stone cover star Miranda Lambert is going in the opposite direction. Sales in the first week of their albums have increased to 40,000, 53,000, 66,000, 133,000 and, with this week's platinum, 179 000. Lambert had the foresight to name the album after her hair color, and not any kind of sales forecasting, because his latest single "Somethin 'Bad", a duet with Carrie Underwood, has fallen 65 points, the number 79, the last letter (which measures Internet criteria, in addition to sales and airplay Traditional). Lambert plays Florida Country Superfest this weekend, then begins a tour on July 10, so you can gather more attention and develop sales throughout the summer.

THAT'S LED ZEPPELIN LED ZEPPELIN LED ZEPPELIN TO YOU:

Turning to the depressing letter of the week news - the soundtrack frozen has unexpectedly risen to number two, selling 52,000 copies, while new ghost stories Coldplay dropped from number one to number five, with just 46,000 sales - Led Zeppelin is back. In the same year that the laws of Colorado and Washington enacted legal marijuana, I think it's a coincidence, recently expanded; Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin II and Led Zeppelin III have hit Number Seven, number nine and number 10, respectively. I'm usually dubious when cash classic bands reissuing old albums for the umpteenth time (I've been in three different formats), but these packages are quite stellar.

SUMMER-ONLY DRAW UPDATE:

It seems that "luxury" Iggy Azalea is the only summer break, selling another 263 000 downloads this week and maintain their stranglehold on the number one on the Billboard Digital Songs chart. But one bed can be offset Sam Smith weepy ballad "Stay With Me", which has grown to 14.5 million views on YouTube since it came out in March and rises this week from number 10 to number three with 167,000 sales. The only other candidate’s summer? "Problem" of Ariana Grande (number two, 215,000 sales); "Wiggle" by Jason Derulo (Number Five, 146000); 5 seconds of "Good Girls" summer (not officially drawn, but reached number four on the chart and the band has Ultimate summer on their behalf).
