Bon Jovi Comes in at Number 1, With David Bowie a Strong Number 2

Share

I told you: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Tico Torres and David Bryan finished at number 1 on the charts this week with “What About Now.” These endlessly hard working good guys sold 100,415 copies of their album of new material some 30 years after they first got started. Amazing. Of course, they’re not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But who freakin’ cares? Meanwhile, David Bowie’s superb “The Next Day” came in at a strong number 2-  83,118 copies. It’s Bowie’s first album in 10 years and had better be nominated for Best Album next year. I can’t stop listening to “Where Are We Now” and “I’d Rather Be High.”
