Talk That Flop! Canadians own the Billboard 200 chart

As previously predicted by Stonewinner Entertainment Rihanna has once again failed to make that infamous No.1 spot her own! Her 6th studio album "Talk that Talk" managed to sell an impressive (not) 197,000 copies in the US in its debut week thus landing at No.3 on the chart.

Talk that flop was bested by two Canadian acts in what has been one of the tightest races for the No.1 position in Billboard 200 history. The number one album in the states this week was Michael Buble's "Christmas" selling 227,000. Interestingly the difference between "Christmas" and the No.2 album "Here and Now" by Nickelback was a 0.18 percent margin!

Another Canadian, Drake, occupies the No.4 spot with "Take Care" while totally irrelevant Mary J Blige will just have to be content with the No.5 spot.

THATISALL!

Chris Brown, Rihanna to Stay 10 Yards Apart at Grammys

The 53rd annual Grammy awards is due to start in just a matter of hours but its not going to be all that exciting for Breezy, the Yeah 3x singer is legally not allowed to come within ten yards of Rihanna as a result of his previous, ironically, pre-grammy um shall we say altercation! Although both stars are nominated for awards, a court order remains in place for the singers to steer clear of each other.

The stay-away order is a remnant of Brown's 2009 assault case, in which he admitted beating Rihanna in a rented sports car after a pre-Grammy party. Lets face it, we barely remember who won at the 2009 Grammy awards because the domestic altercation between these two stole the show last year. As a result Chris had to complete many hours of community service and his album 'Graffiti' performed dismally on the charts and commercially inciting some twitter rage from the singer.Both stars have confirmed their attendance at the awards show, Rihanna will even be screaming, I mean performing with her ex Drake.

Those of you who still bother to watch the hot mess that is the Grammy Awards can let us know how this little situation all plays out!
