I really hate this time of year

[Al B. Sure!]

This killed me. I imagine that this is what it would be like if I ever hired albie to work for me for some odd reason....

EDIT: embedding doesn't work

It embedded fine for me. I watched it. Not sure of what the relevance for me would be.

You're the straight man, sweetheart. I get the good lines, the women and the money

[KrazyHorse]

Analyst! You are a tool.

[Al B. Sure!]

Thank you.

Btw, that clip that Alby linked to Dion's The Wander has 638,276 views. The top result for Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven has 18,824,977 views.

Justin Bieber's song:

404,232,428 views. What's your point? And I didn't even know who he was until like two months ago.

Was I a cultural troglodyte two months ago?

[KrazyHorse]

The difference being that bieber is a CURRENT star whereas LZ and Dion are both PAST stars. Youtube did not exist when either of the former were performing

So what you're saying is that a 25 year old couldn't be expected to be on top of several decades-old music?

[C0ckney]

this thread has brought joy to my heart.

No, what I'm saying is that the bieber comparison is meaningless.

The only band from an English-speaking country I'd never heard of with more than 100 mill in total sales is "Status Quo" (?)

[C0ckney]

You're the straight man...

that's the first time anyone has said that about albie.

[KrazyHorse]

After that, the next one I'd never heard of from an English-speaking country was George Strait (country musician, 68 million sold)

EDIT: then Ray Coniff (easy listening, 50 million) and then Alan Jackson (country, 50 million)

[KrazyHorse]

that's the first time anyone has said that about albie.

[Asher]

I'd never heard of "Status Quo" either. Fortunately, it seems to be a disease only the UK caught.

Edit: I've definitely heard of George Strait

Also, LZ is 4th all time in US music sales.

Dion (Celine) is 23rd

The other Dion doesn't even chart.
