licksforme This is an extract of the Billboard Magazine:

Kelly Clarkson logs her second week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 with "A Moment Like This" (RCA). The single moved another 146,000 units for a two-week total of 382,000, already the biggest selling single of the year. The track is featured on the "American Idol" compilation album that will debut on The Billboard 200 next week. It should make for an interesting battle for No. 1 as the collection tries to take on Elvis as well as the Rolling Stones. Released Tuesday, the latter's double-disc "Forty Licks" (ABKCO/Virgin) is expected to sell upwards of 300,000 copies in its first week.

Boomhauer I can't believe it! American Idol vs. The Rolling STones?
What a joke.

That guy that looks like Sideshow Bob makes me wanna vomit. SO does that Kelly chick. Fuck American Idol; piece of trash show doesn't deserve that type of title. It makes America look bad, I tell ya.

the question is; who still listens to the lion king?


once read something like;
"the stones may have never been the most popular act around at any given moment, but they have always been there".
