No Sympathy For The Record Industry

iTunes released its top-selling albums and singles today, and damn, people have shitty taste in music.

The online music store declined to release actual sales figures, but Maroon 5 and Fergie held the top spots.

Maroon 5's sophomore album, "It Won't Be Soon Before Long," was the No. 1 seller on the site, followed by Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" and Kanye West's "Graduation." The top five were rounded out by Chris Daughtry's debut, "Daughtry," and "Coco" by unknown newcomer Colbie Caillat.

Tranny man-thing Fergie came in at first and fifth place in single sales. Her hit "Big Girls Don't Cry" was took the top honors, while "Glamorous" finished in fifth. They bookended Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape", Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah" and Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend".

How can the industry complain that downloading and file sharing is hurting them? Anybody listening to that drek not only lacks taste, but the intelligence to steal music. These lemming are buying bad music in droves. You can't complain that sales are poor if your product is worse.
