Are reviews good? Gaga seems to think so They are decent-to-good based on metacritic; it has a score of 70, though based on only 6 reviews.

Pretty good predictions! #2 debut. I didn't know Kenny was opening this week too. That's a hard act for a Jazz album to go against.

Quite enjoy Lady Gaga's vocals. I always thought her voice would suit Jazz nicely after her "Lady Is A Tramp" stint. I could do without Tony though.

Gaga performed "Bang Bang" (originally made famous by Cher and Nancy Sinatra)

Sorry, I put this in the wrong thread: LOOK:www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/rumormill.cgiCHEEK BY JOWL: The race for #1 on the HITS Album Sales Chart takes a new turn this morning, as last weekβs long shot pulls ahead. Our early numbers put Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga's standards set Cheek to Cheek in the lead with 125k+. Can they hold off Kenny Chesney and last week's champ, Barbra Streisand? Will Irving Berlin emerge as one of Q4's hottest songwriters? Will people under 30 finally start doing the foxtrot again? Stay tuned. (9/29a)

Wow, go them. I truly hope they get the #1, this was such a fun album to listen to and her voice is so suited for it, and to team up with Tony Bennett c'mon I'm glad she went this route rather than making an attempt at a follow-up to ARTPOP, she needed a breath of fresh air, something different.

There was no disrespect. He said he liked Gaga's vocals. LOL he said he could do without Tony Bennett. If that's not disrespect, I don't know what is. Even Gaga would disapprove.

Now, let's start counting the seconds before the chart-manipulation/discount bs begins - while they all dismiss the fact that Kenny did it too.

This will obviously outsell ArtPop. Tony Bennett: saving careers like Pitbull.

This type of project is prime for discounts to grab older buyers. Ellen ---> Discount Oprah ---> Discount Thanksgiving Special ---> Discount X-mas Holiday Special ---> Discount New Years ---> Discount Valentines Day ---> Discount Just look at OneRepublic.

I say keep the digital copy at $6, keep the retail CD at $8.99 or $9.99 and let it sell 2 million copies!

It'll be interesting to see Soundscan numbers come in. I'd love Gaga to get her 3rd #1 album. And for C2C to be a sleeper hit throughout the holiday season.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. The top 3 are all very close with less than 3,000 units separating #3 from #1. Often times the ranking changes when the sound scan numbers come in.
