Thursday Billboard Update - 2/21/13

The sales impact of the Grammys finally shows up and the Billboard 200's top 10 reflects that with several old albums returning (2013 Grammy Nomineees, Taylor Swift, fun., and Maroon 5), a couple rising (Lumineers and Bruno Mars), and one making its way back to #1 (Mumford & Sons).

Some bullshit is popping over on the Hot 100 as Billboard and Nielsen has retardedly (new word alert!) decided to revamp its system to incorporate YouTube streaming, which allowed Baauer's much parodied Harlem Shake to debut at #1. This is stupid on many levels, but none more than the fact that only a small fraction of those streams came from people listening to the song past the first 30 seconds. PSY must be pissed (though it should be noted that Gangnam Style is up 22 spots 48-26 because of this).

In other, more logical, Hot 100 news, Rihanna grabs her 24th top 10 song (and passes Whitney Houston and the Rolling Stones who both have 23) as Stay soars 54 spots 57-3 in its 2nd week. (I'm sure the 29.5 million YouTube views had a lot to do with it.) And lastly, Drake's Started From The Bottom skies 53 spots 63-10 also in its 2nd week.

New Eminem Album Coming In 2013!

Here's the report from Billboard.com:

According to Shady president Paul Rosenberg, Eminem, who last Bad Meets Evil's "Hell: The Sequel" with Royce Da 5'9 in 2011, is "far into the process" of recording his untitled eighth studio album, due after Memorial Day. "We fully expect to be releasing a new Eminem album in 2013. He's been working on it for some time," Rosenberg tells Billboard, who was included on this year's Billboard Power 100 list. "It's safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we're not exactly sure when. We've got some dates locked in for him to perform live in Europe in August, so we're trying to see what else lines up."

Yes, yes, and yes again!
