New Together Through Life Will Debut at #1

April 29, 2009

As much as the times they are a-changing, that’s how much they stay the same.
Certified rock and roll legend and '60s icon Bob Dylan’s 33rd studio album, Together Through Life, will mark his second straight album to debut at #1, with a total between 125-140k for the critically acclaimed Columbia Records disc.

That's based on one-day sales reports from record retailers around the country whose doors remain open, god bless 'em.

Dylan’s previous album, Modern Times, debuted at #1 in Sept. 2006, with a total of 192k, his first ever to bow at #1 and his first chart-topper since Desire hit #1 back in 1976.

The rest of the debuts offer nothing much to write home about.

Rhino’s Heaven & Hell, a heavy metal supergroup, which features Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler along with former members Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice, will be the other top chart newcomer with between 25-30k.

Strange Music’s Kansas City, MO, rap veteran Tech N9ne and Asylum hip-hopper Mike Jones are up next, both between 20-25k.

Arista/Sony Nashville’s Jason Michael Carroll and Machete’s Don Omar are both in the 15-20k range, followed by Verve’s Melody Gardot (10-12k).

The market was down 3% vs. last week, down 10% vs. same week last year and down 12% year to date. You may now return to inoculating yourself against the swine flu.

If you're telling me to buy numerous copies for the sake of "bumpin" them, well thats just dumb...I only need one copy of any CD

Lol I find it interesting that tech might beat out Mike jones, who has had tons of video / radio play in the past few months promoting his new song. That is pretty beastly tbh.

Good shit! Tech is doin' his thing and I love it. Sickology had me worried at first, I wasn't sure if I would like it. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan but I was starting to think he might fall off doin' too much shit too soon. I love the cd though. Blown away is probably my favorite track... YES EVEN WITH THE AUTOTUNE!!!lol

I am probably not right, but I think the difference is.


Autotune: you sing and then its just an effect/pitch correction thing so it puts your notes all in the same key, hence why it sounds so weird because its being changed and what not.

Talkbox: From what Ive seen on the Tech DVD recording Twisted, it looked like you actually have to know how to play a piano/keyboard, because thats what actually gives it the effect there. Not just a program that corrects the pitch, you actually have to know how to play the instrument.


Again, I have no idea if that is correct, but from the little knowlege I have thats what I have gathered.

^^ Yes. I am not sure on the specifics of the talk box, but it looks like it requires more musical ability than autotune. Autotune is done on the computer after the vocals are recorded while talkbox is recorded the way it sounds.

Yeah but the only reason a "talkbox" doesn't use computers to do what it does is because when it was first introduced, computer technology was shit. Now autotune is doing what talkbox does, only quicker and with less equipment necessary.
