Will Neil Diamond hold the No. 1 spot on next week's Billboard Top 200 (album) Chart?
http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp?g=Albums&f=The+Billboard+200
Background:
Neil Diamond is back…in a big way!
According to Billboard, Diamond is on his way to nabbing the #1 album spot next week with his new release, Home Before Dark.
Madonna's Hard Candy could be knocked from the top by…Neil Diamond? Hilarious!
Another interesting factoid: if Neil Diamond does indeed secure the #1, it will be his first ever in the forty plus years he's been in the biz. Billboard does make an interesting point. Mother's Day is this weekend and Neil Diamond is totally mommy music. We might even pick up Neil for our mom! Could this be the thing propelling Neil to the forefront? That and maybe his appearance on Idol this week totally helped! Plus, everyone knows it's usually the older peeps (the kind who like Neil Diamond type stuff) who actually BUY music.
We hear that there's a lot of youngins who love to download pirated music on the net!
