In its 3rd week, Lionel Ritchie's country-flavored "Tuskegee" album has climbed to #1 in its 3rd week on Billboard's Hot 200 album chart. The album debuted 3 weeks ago at #2, behind Madonna's MDNA, which has since dropped to #18. Lionel Richie's album is also currently #1 on the Country album chart and has also sold more than 432,000 copies in 3 weeks. Not bad at all for an artist who's heydays were in the 70s and 80s.

    Only reason MDNA was #1 for that week, it was a promo for her next tour. People didn't actually buy the album.

    Lionel Richie remains at #1 on the Billboard Hot 200 album chart (for the second week), while also holding down the #1 spot on the country album chart.

    Meanwhile, Madonna's "MDNA" has fallen to #38 on the Hot 200 album chart.

    Some of my friends were raving about this album so I bought it. I didn't care for it, I gave it to one of my raving friends. It just goes to show, different strokes for different folks. I write this as I'm listening to The Mothers Of Invention "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" LP. See what I mean? BTW, my guitar wants to kill your Mama !!!! RIP Frank.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.
