Veton, you don't like The Other Side? :( It's one of my favorites, and from what I've seen it's pretty popular among fans.
My favorites were Grenade and Marry You.

So.. I think Grenade is the new single. I just saw an add on Itunes and it's #44 right now. Great choice IMO!

Awesome album. Like the smooth tracks and the ballads. Talking to the Moon is stellar!

The album is a little disappointing I have to say. Will be interested in seeing how this does. I think he can do 50K+.

Grenade and then Marry You and he'll have done a hat trick for sure on the charts (POP and HOT 100)

i think "Count On Me" would either flop hardcore or be the type of song that would last absolutely forever a la "Graduation Song" if it were released as a single.
Hit or miss. It's not a sure fire hit, but it has the greatest potential at not just being a novelty hit.

They had a RTM survey for Bruno last week. The songs that they put out were "Grenade," "Marry You," and "Count on Me." There may have been a fourth, but I can't remember. I think chances are good for "Grenade" being the next single. Yay! My next favorite after that is "Runaway Baby." I'm still sad that they chose "Our First Time" over "The First Time," which is awesome. It didn't sound completely finished, so maybe that's why it was left off.

I love this album. Grenade, The Lazy Song and Talking to the Moon are my favorites. Not loving Marry You as much as everyone else.

I can't believe he was involved on Brandy's "Long Dostance" :o :o :o Had NO idea. I haven't been paying any attention to this cokehead until I went to buy David Archuleta's album yesterday and decided to listen to clips. I have heard Nothing On You once or twice and then the VMAs, I saw his little intro and was impressed but DAMN, this album is good. He did an extremely good job, the production is tight, I like his style and even though the lyrics can be goofy at times, they are fun and relatable. However... @ him saying "Dancing Jews" want him want to get married in "Marry You".

I thought he said "and when you ask do I love cocaine" on 'Just the Way You Are' until I read the lyrics and it's "do I look ok?". :kii: Anyway, I'm still not totally fond of the album as a whole. I thought there were gonna be doo-wops ??? I don't ci a lot of them, tbqh.

I'm wondering how much this will open with. I'm thinking 60K ? but I wouldn't be surprised if it does more. "just the way you are" is a relateable song and could be an album seller.

Looks like 'Male Popstars' can't sell albums, if you look at how big their singles are.
I thought it would be different for Bruno as he is really talented.

Seriously what the heck does it take to sell an album these days? This guy is on three huge hits and is one of the hottest names out there right now. People just really don't wanna fork out their money for CDs anymore.

They should have done way more promotion. He is doing SNL and Ellen soon, but that isn't enough.

I think he'll sell consistently. Everyone I know loves his voice, and usually vocals make someone more likely to buy an album.

I was hoping for more thb. I guess if you are a male and want to do pop, you have to either be a rapper or Justin Timberlake to be able to sell albums too. Of course if he keeps writing No.1 singles he'll more than ok.
