Adele is set to sell another 155k CD’s this week and has no signs of slowing down. Adele recently told a magazine that she  never thought her latest CD would have such an impact.

“I was saying, “I don’t think this record is going to do anything. I can’t feel the buzz in America,”‘ she said.

Rob Stringer, CEO of Columbia Records was quite surprised as well.

‘When everybody heard the record, they knew it was special,’ he told the magazine. ‘But not one person could honestly tell you they thought it would sell this many.’

It’s hard to predict the sales of artists today with the changing variables and moving parts.

Paul Mawhinney owns the largest collection of vinyl LPs and 45s in the world. Paul was forced to close his record shop because of the digital music frenzy and lack of interest in vinyl formats. Now struggling with diabetes and rising health costs, he has put up his entire collection for sale.

If you’ve got $3 million and a place for 2.5 million records, then here’s your chance. Oh, one more thing: it’s all worth about $50 million…yeah, we said million.

I’m really excited to announce this today, Jonezetta has released a song on their myspace from their follow up album, Cruel To Be Young coming out September 16. I really enjoyed their debut record, Popularity which makes me really excited to see what the new stuff sounds like. The band has a new song up, “Paint and Picture” which is very different from their previous work but Im sure its nothing short of being perfect. Tell us what you guys think!

If any of you missed out on the Canadian Christian band Starfield with their last album, Beauty in the Broken, I feel sorry for you.

Oh and if you didn’t get the hint, go pick up their other albums too, now.

I am sad to announce that The Format has officially broken up. Unfortunately this will not allow them to make a final record that they have been planning but is ending it here. The Format has been an amazing rock/pop band with fantastic albums like Interventions & Lullabies and their most recent Dog Problems. If you have not heard of them, go out and pick up one of these two albums and you will definitely be pleased.
