Beastie Boys lost one as of theirs. And us, a little our youth. Adam MCA Yauch, 47 years, could not overcome the cancer, against which it fought since 2009. The news was already not good the year spent, at the time of the exit of the last album of the New Yorkean group, Hot Sauce Committee Part II. I had taken down, since already a moment of Beastie Boys, whose recent discs hardly impassioned me. But, I had, like many people of my age, an eternal affection for their first discs and in particular famous the Licensed to It of 1986.

Michael Kiwanuka almost did not play in France. In spite of the shooting off of its splendid first album, Home again, which has just left, the new wonder of the drunk person, on which I made a long paper in the Parisian one, came to Paris only for one small Leather working, quickly supplements. It will be re-examined this summer, with the festival of the Hand Public garden at Arras, on July 1 and it is all for the moment. Except that, even if information is not yet official, Michael Kiwanuka will return to France, this autumn. It will be, except change by then, one of the heads of poster of the next festival of Inrockuptibles in November. But, I anything said you

They are ready or almost. The candidates of The Voice prepare their songs for the premium-time of Saturday evening. With the program: repetitions and recording, this week, of the versions studio of their next titles, which will be put on sale on Itunes right after the emission this weekend. Then which will sing what? The indiscretions start to circulate on the pieces of the favourites. Al.Hy again will try to impress us, after his version époustouflante of Feeling Good. It will be attacked, this time, with the Crowd of Edith Piaf. Another talent which should go very far, Atef. It had moved the public with its recovery by Like you of Goldman last week

Nothing goes any more for Madonna. After a first disappointing week of sales, it is straightforwardly the freefall for MDNA. The album finds 6th Cd sales and 5th in remote loading with on the whole 12.612 sold specimens, that is to say a fall which largely exceeds the traditional one minus 50% in 2nd week. As much to say, that to less than one start, the disc will continue to fall with the passing days. On the other hand, others are maintained quietly, like Sexion d' Assaut or Adele, even climbs week in week. Excellent Gotye goes up of 4 Cd places and 6 into digital with its fabulous Making Mirrors whereas its everlasting Somebody That I Used To Know is number one of the sales of individual.

It passed funny from trick yesterday evening to Bercy. An ebullient hot POPB definitively to devote Drake, one of the new phenomena of the American hip-hop. Will phenomenon say the ones? New the others will say? Yes and yes. Because if Drake is not with its first album, figure on the recent discs of Nicki Minaj, Lenny Kravitz or Rihanna it remains, with the ears of the general public, little known. Perhaps the purists will tear off the hair. But look at more closely. Which are the American rappeurs who made of Bercy roofs or quasi complete? Eminem, Kanye West, Jay-Z: artists who were programmed on the radios, present in the media. What is not finally really the case of Drake in France.

Nothing goes any more for Madonna. The star does not even unload number one of the Cd sales, this afternoon. Its new album, left last Monday, arrives only in second position. MDNA was sold only with 29.918 specimens, out of Cd, far behind the Dumbs, who remain at the head, with 43.633 past additional albums. The singer saves a little the face in remote loading. She is at the head digital signal with 11.775 sales. But not of what, on the whole, with 41.693 albums, to precede the Resto du coeur. Especially MDNA is sold hardly better in a week, than Candy Hardware in one weekend, in 2008. The disc had left, at the time, one Friday and had exceeded the 37.000 specimens in three days. And still the remote loading was non-existent at the time.
