What artist sells over a million records in 2 weeks? That would be 47 year old Susan Boyle. She had another successful week selling over 500,000 copies of her CD “I Dreamed A Dream”.

Next in line are the usual suspects such as Taylor Swift who sold another 127,226 copies of Fearless which is approaching the 5 million mark. Lady Gaga sold 83,550k copies of Fame and she also set a 2009 digital sales record selling over 13million tracks. Yes, artists can survive in the digital world, you just need to be great.

Also, no auto-tune! Listen to the track No Way.

Finnish rock band HIM releases new single “Heartkiller” which is getting favorable reviews among fans. They are receiving over 100,000+ plays on their myspace. Hopefully, the new album, slated to be released in February will be stronger than the less than stellar 2007 release “Venus Doom”.
