We got a lot of new music that debuted overnight on the charts. Some did well, others not so much.
Justin Timberlake’s new album, “Everything I Thought It Was” opens at number 1. The album already had a hit single with “Selfish.” Now a few more have climbed onto the iTunes top 100.
Of all the singles, “Paradise,” which reunites Justin with NSync, is already number 4. Another one, “No Angels,” is the official new release with a video to boot.
Also out and holding at number 2 is Kacey Musgraves’s album, “Deeper Well.” The title track is a hit, too, over on the top 100. Look for this album to build and have staying power.
But there’s some bad news, too: already struggling is Bon Jovi’s new single, “Legendary.” It opened at number 32 and doesn’t seem to be catching on. The album it comes from, called “Forever,” doesn’t hit for 90 days, so maybe other tracks on it will take off. Three months seems like a long lead time, but who knows?
Really in trouble already is One Direction’s Zayn Malik. He sings “What I Am” including the expression “fucked up” like he’s Teddy Swims. The song is catchy but no one can play it because of the language. Zayn is the most self-defeating recording act in some time. “What I Am” is not on the top 100 so far. Whoops!
