Yeah, Miami's a good track. You can cruise to it on the highway... it's real chill.

Whatever he does name it, it sounds like and interesting idea.

I could see Tim just shaking his head while he was typing it too... :shakehead:

Of course, those numbers aren't absolute as the early numbers are always a little lower than the final numbers... but they're close. Lost and Found is now at #40 on the charts...

Yeah... I feel a little bad for her. Obviously, she had issues and she wasn't dealing with reality. People like that need counselling, and the issue can border on full out mental illness if allowed to continue without intervention.

Agreed. I'm especially looking forward to the video. Should be very lively with plenty of energy. I'm still a little squeamish about Tell Me Why being released in the fall, close to Sept. 11th. People will be more likely to focus more on the Sept. 11th aspect of the song, discounting the overall message that the song is conveying. Hopefully, there won't be any talk of Tell Me Why being a gimmick or exploiting the topic of Sept. 11th to sell records. We know how unreasonable and ignorant people can be when they are searching for a reason to dislike something because of their personal bias. I guess we or rather Will will cross that bridge when it's time. In the meantime, I'll looking forward to that Party Starter release and the public's reaction to it. Especially that third verse.

Change is good. It keeps things fresh.

15,163 with 58% in, which looks to be steady...

Happy birthday Kev!!!

In addition, if this is true, Party Starter is going to have quite a few remixes. Again, a lot of people are talking about it, and it should definitely help album sales.

I have to agree with Julie... Just the Two of Us is an encouraging song... there's a strong feeling of love and family togetherness... selflessness and caring... The song is quite moving, and it really doesn't matter what neighborhood you grew up in or how gangsta you are, everyone should be able to enjoy the positive message that is conveyed through it.

I can definitely see Kel rhyming on Party Starter. I think he can come with an energy similar to Will's... it would be a hot collabo to say the least, and would definitely get his name out there.

Well, it's all speculation until it is officially confirmed, but I'm definitely feeling Party Starter for the summer. The question remains... when will Tell Me Why be released? Perhaps the fall? It does look like Party Starter will be a hit, a lot of people are feeling it. I guess we'll have to wait for the official confirmation. More commentary on how this should affect record sales later.

are you kidding? all the stations out here play it. Mostly the rap stations though They play summertime quite a bit in the Northeast as well. The quintessential summertime song no doubt.

Now hold on, I never thought Martin was the main character. I always thought that they both were equal characters in the novie. Have to agree. Neither if over the other. Both seem to be equal.

Great work Hax.

I don't think everything has been sufficiently cleared up. Let me elaborate. You've said that the RIAA counts "sales," however the second quote say that they count unit shipments (minus returns). The first quote says, The audit calculates what product has been shipped for sale, net after returns. It seems that the pertinent question would be "Exactly what sales are they counting?" Now correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem to say that the RIAA directly monitors sales from the stores that record companies ship to. That is to say, sales of individual records. If Best Buy recieves 1000 records from Sony and doesn't return any of them, and happens to sell 900... will the RIAA report that 900 records, specifically, have been sold? From the wording of the two quotes, it seems like the RIAA would count the number of shipments (1000) minus the number of returns (0) and report a sale of 1000 records in their audit. This would be the net shipment to Best Buy... but not necessarily the amount of records Best Buy has sold. Perhaps you can clarify this. Also, for anyone interested in how soundscan works... ----- Nielsen SoundScan is an information system that tracks sales of music and music video products throughout the United States and Canada. Sales data from point-of-sale cash registers is collected weekly from over 14,000 retail, mass merchant and non-traditional (on-line stores, venues, etc.) outlets. Weekly data is compiled and made available every Wednesday. Nielsen SoundScan is the sales source for the Billboard music charts. -----

Yeah, I saw the thread and was like... "that was quick." But regardless, you guys should be amped because there very well may be some stuff out from JJFP by the end of the year. We'll see. :wiggle:

Or something like the Blade movies... I think that if they are to try to capture Batman's fighting style, they have to make the Batsuit a lot less bulky. In all 4 of the previous movies, Batman's movements were awkward because of the suit, and the actors looked a bad ridiculous trying to fight in it. What would be cool is if they did an entire Batman movie in CGI.

Good to hear people are enjoying the movie. I've also heard that the dialogue wasn't the best, but the general plot (which has long been predetermined, but it's nice to see it actually play out) and the action scenes make it a must see.

Exactly...

Conference finals... finally... Now the playoffs can begin in earnest. The games are going to be great. No surprises in either conference, no cinderellas, no drama... Just basketball... That's what's up.

I guess we'll have to wait to see what the story is really about. MIB could have been a pretty serious movie as well, but they managed to add a good deal of comedy. I'm sure they can do that with Monster Hunter.
