Today In Pushed-Back Albums
Ne-Yo’s Year Of The Gentleman has had its release date moved from June 23 to Aug. 5, thanks to the country’s insanely lukewarm response to the really quite good “Closer,” which has sold 49,000 digital copies in its first three weeks of release and is at No. 51 on the Hot Digital Songs chart. Just to show you how messed up the priorities of the iTunes-buying public is, here’s a selection of tracks that outsold “Closer” last week: the new Colbie Caillat single; Trace Adkins’ charity track; and that Ferras song about Hollywood not being America that ended its American Idol swan-song run weeks ago. Booo, America. Booooo.[defjam.com / AceShowbiz.com]
