Bottom Line for 2009: Best-Selling Artist = Michael Jackson; Top Selling Album = Taylor Swift’s FEARLESS (followed by Lady Gaga and Susan Boyle); Biggest Tour = U2 (followed by Madonna and Bruce Springsteen) and Biggest New Artist = Lady Gaga. The decade saw a 45% decline in U.S. CD sales.
50 Cent and Val Kilmer will star in “Gun,” a movie drama about drug dealing based on an original story by 50 Cent. Lady Gaga – talented, vulgar and exhausting – wore a red-latex , puffy-sleeved dress with a 20-foot train when she met The Queen of England recently. On March 15 The Stooges, Genesis, Abba, The Hollies and Jimmy Cliff will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Guitarist John Frusciante has (once again) quit the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Lil Wayne will put out another record in February, around the time his jail term for gun possession begins.
Lilith Fair is back! And this summer’s new version will feature some of the original ladies in amphitheaters across the nation including Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls and Sarah McLachlan. Also onboard to add a cross-section of musical style to the shows are Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Tegan & Sara, Emmylou Harris and Colbie Caillat. Also on the road this summer – two giants of 70’s rock – The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac – together, on a joint-tour.
