    Audience Interaction Sucks!

    ​With rare exceptions, I've always felt that forced audience interaction is a lazy device designed to get paying customers more involved in the show. I came to see the show. I want to be entertained, not be the entertainment, and if these stars dazzled the way they should, no such encouragem ... More >>

Bon Jovi's The Circle took #1 with a pretty lackluster 163,000 copies sold (about half of what Carrie Underwood sold last week)--it's their fourth and most underwhelming #1.
