| After four decades, Black Sabbath tops US album chart Posted: 19 Jun 2013 09:01 PM PDT  Black Sabbah in Auckland, New Zealand, early 2013Veteran heavy-metal band Black Sabbath landed its first No. 1 album on the US Billboard 200 album chart yesterday, more than four decades after the rockers debuted their first album in the United States. "13," the 19th studio album from Black Sabbath, sold 155,000 copies in its first week, according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan, knocking last week's No. 1 album by Queens of the Stone Age off the top spot on the weekly American album chart. Black Sabbath, an English rock band fronted by lead singer Ozzy Osbourne, released their debut self-titled album in North America in 1970, but were never able to notch the top spot on the Billboard 200 album chart in a career spanning 43 years. "The news is absolutely amazing - we couldn't have imagined this would happen," guitarist and founding member Tony Iommi said in a statement. Black Sabbath was one of five new debut albums in the top ten this week. Boy band Big Time Rush came in at No. 4 with "24/Seven," alternative-rockers Goo Goo Dolls landed at No. 8 with their latest record "Magnetic," and movie score maestro Hans Zimmer's soundtrack for Superman movie "Man of Steel" flew into No. 9. Comedy trio The Lonely Island, fronted by former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Andy Samberg, rounded out the top 10 with their latest collection of parodies, "The Wack Album." Overall album sales totaled 5.25 million for the week ending June 16, down 10 per cent from the comparable sales week in 2012, according to Billboard. Next week's chart is likely to see a high debut from rapper Kanye West, who released his latest record "Yeezus" this week and is currently at the top of the iTunes album chart.- Reuters, June 20, 2013. |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 06:28 PM PDT  Showbiz power couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, or Kimye, have reportedly named their newborn baby girl Kaidence Donda West. Keeping the "K" empire going, the name seems to be a twist on the conventional spelling for Cadence. The other women in the Kardashian clan are Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie and their mother Kris. The baby's second name is believed to be a tribute to Kanye's late mother Dr Donda West. Kardashian gave birth on Saturday, ahead of schedule, with the baby reportedly due in early July. Kardashian stars with her sisters in the reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians. She has a clothing line and several product endorsements and was the most-searched person on the Yahoo! in 2012. Grammy-winning rap star Kanye West and Kardashian began dating in April 2012. Two months ago Kardashian and her second husband, Kris Humphries of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets, announced they had reached a divorce settlement. They had split 72 days after their August 2011 wedding. Humphries had first sought an annulment, alleging that Kardashian, who cited irreconcilable difference when filing for divorce, had no intention of keeping to the marriage, which was filmed as part of her reality show, Los Angeles. - Agencies, June 20, 2013. |
