This one is a little bit hard to believe but based on the first day sales, Making the Band winners Danity Kane will have the number 1 album on next week’s charts as reported by HITS magazine. Their record is expected to sell anywhere between 250,000 to 275,000 units. Really? I’m wondering how this happened. A reality show winner is on top of the charts. The other top debut is said to be rapper Flo Rida with expected sales of 70,000 to 80,000 units to be moved. I’m no longer wondering why the record business is headed for the crapper, nay, in the crapper already.

Jonas Brothers Go Patriotic
The Jonas Brothers show their patriotic side when they sand the National Anthem on the South Lawn at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC on Monday morning for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. 20-year old Kevin, 18-year old Joe and 15-year old Nick belted out their best rendition of the song as thousands, including the Cat in the Hat, Tweety Bird, Charlie Brown, Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, Clifford the Big Red Dog and the official White House Easter bunnies, watched them perform. It may seem like I’m kidding but really, those are the so-called people in attendance. It is a kids’ event after all.
