The overall article was about album sales which seem to be doing fine. It looks like we are slowly creeping out of a recession… SLOWLY! I cannot fault the J Bro’s for doing what they do, but beating out the BEP’s is something serious considering they cater to the mass and not the targeted. Go JB’s, BEP’s Lady G, and Em for good sales. (I try not to hate on comments, but the Jonas Brothers???)
