Playboy launches iPlayboy for the Apple iPhone. Had enough yet?
Papa Roach continues to impress me. Though I dont hear a lot of the single here in NYC/NJ - I think its big in a lot of places. 12K a week is like 40k 2 years ago.
Anyone know their total sales figures to date w/ Paramour?

Only about 270K? Geez, I thought it would be a 100k higher then that. But I guess it could have been a lot worse. HOOBASTANK worse….
Someone please fill me on why Flyleaf sold. The music is very blah and generic, and the singer isnt that pretty or much a stage presence.

Papa Roach has 2 more amazing singles left on this album. They will go gold, maybe not platinum.
their sound is different then the old Roach, but it is GOOD. People have to accept that they have reinvented themselves to Pop Rock.
The songs “Time is Running Out” and “What Would You Do” are some of the best songs I have heard in years.

I like the band that Papa Roach has evolved to,everybody grows and gets mature with age as does music..The track “forever” gave the band new legs and I hope it takes them to the next level.As for Cene??? Do we really need another Brittany Spheres?
