Alice Cooper recently told the Toronto Sun that his new studio album will be called The Night Shift and that 10 songs are already completed. “The concept is, it’s a really dark radio show where I’m the disc jockey, and every song I play will be by a different fictitious band,” said Alice. “At some point, you’ll realize this disc jockey is a little bit more than that. And I’m sure there will be some kind of a twist ending."

Out this week: Jackyl’s When Moonshine And Dynamite Collide (April 4).

Top of The Pops (Beatles Edition)

Today is a monumental day in music,chart and cultural history for the US.
On this day in 1964 it was the peak of the phenomenon called Beatlmania with the song "Can't Buy Me Love" reaching the top of Billboard's Hot 100 and setting 5 records that were never equaled in the pre-digital download/soundscan era.
The Greatest Monopoly of the Top 5, Greatest Monopoly of the Hot 100, Biggest leap to #1, Most Consecutive #1 singles and Largest Advance Sale.

With the sudden success of the Beatles, Capitol records were forced to realize what a goldmine they had and with so many labels issuing so many Beatles singles the group had a lock on the Top 5 with the release of "Can't Buy Me Love".

Here is the Top 5 for April 4th 1964

5- Please Please Me


4- I Want To Hold Your Hand
The first #1 single in the US for the Fab Four, 7 weeks at the top.


3- She Love You
this was the 2nd consecutive #1 for the Beatles, 2 weeks on top of the Hot 100.


2- Twist and Shout
One of the very few non Lennon/McCartney songs the Beatles had that were big hits. This peaked at #2.


1- Can't Buy Me Love
This is probably THE greatest hit of the Fab Four. It set the record for biggest leap to #1, which debuted last week at #27 and then leapt all the way to the top this week. It also had the largest advance sale of any single in the rock era with 2.1 million copies. Finally it was the 3rd consecutive #1 single for the Beatles which broke the record held by the King, Elvis Presley, set in 1956.


The next week the Beatles would have the greatest monopoly of the Hot 100 ever seen before or since. The previous record of most singles in the Hot 100 at one time was 9, set of course by Elvis Presley, but on April 11th of 1964 with "Can't Buy Me Love" at the top the Beatles had 14 total singles in the Hot 100.
81- Love Me Do
78- Roll Over Beethoven
74- There's a Place
61- Thank You Girl
52- From Me to You
50- All My Loving
48- You Can't Do That
38- I Saw Her Standing There
14- Do You Want to Know a Secret
9- Please Please Me
7- I Want to Hold Your Hand
4- She Loves You
2- Twist and Shout

Needless to say that with our fractured society and short attention spans this type of phenomenon will never be seen again.

Justin Bieber Scores #1 Album, Youngest Male Solo Artist To Do It Since '63

It truly is Justin Bieber's "World." The teen sensation's sophomore album, My World 2.0, has debuted at #1 on the Billboard album chart with first week sales of 283 thousand copies, according to Nielsen Soundscan. That makes Justin the youngest male solo act to score a #1 album since 1963, when a then-13-year-old Stevie Wonder pulled off the same feat.

But that's not all. Justin's first album, My World, is currently at #5 on the chart. That makes the Canadian singer the first act to have two Billboard top-five albums at the same time since Nelly did it in 2004 with his two albums, Suit and Sweat. But those Nelly albums were released on the same day -- Justin's albums came out four months apart.

Elsewhere on the chart, Still Standing, the new album by Monica, debuts at #3, while Now! That's What I Call Music Vol. 33 is in at #3.
