  • Detroit Giants Big Sean and Kid Rock Come within A Thousand in Sales on Album Chart; Chris Brown and Tyga Debut

    New releases from Big Sean and Kid Rock demonstrated how big of a role the new metrics for the Billboard 200 could play in determining the placement of an album. Big Sean and Dark Sky Paradise took the crown this week, moving 173,000 equivalent units while Rock and First Kiss came in at no. 2 with 146,000 equivalent units. That 27,000 album difference doesn't seem like a close fight, but actual album sales indicate that physical copies and downloads of the full records had the pair within 1,000 of each other. The other 26,000 can all be attributed to more single downloads and streams for Sean. It's a brave new music sales world...you may have heard.

  • Kid Rock Releases Conservative 'First Kiss' Music Video [WATCH]

    Kid Rock's newest music video is here, and it certainly falls on the conservative side of his multimedia endeavors. "First Kiss" is a New-Age, Mellencamp, country-tinged, pop song that features many of the same tropes that landed KR an international No. 1 with 2008's ""All Summer Long."The video is about as harmless as all of that sounds. An odd opening in which a grown-a-- woman hops out of a school bus pretending to be a kid is the only "Wait, what?" moment, followed by generic, "small-town" scenes filling up the bulk of the clip.Here is a sampling of the lyrics, which Kid seems to have copied and pasted from the "Billboard" Country chart:
