We told you on Monday it was likely and now it's happened: Barry Manilow debuts at Number One at Billboard with his new album The Greatest Songs Of The Fifties. It's his first Number One since a live album in 1977. But as NYCD online pointed out, Manilow's resurgence was evident when his greatest hits CD Ultimate Manilow debuted at Number Three in 2002. And a lot of old fogeys trooped to the record stores this week. Check out the Top Ten:
1. Barry Manilow -- The Greatest Songs of the Fifties
2. Mary J. Blige -- The Breakthrough
3. Andrea Bocelli -- Amore
4. Jamie Foxx -- Unpredictable
5. Heather Headley -- In My Mind
6. Il Divo -- Ancora
7. Eminem -- Curtain Call: The Greatest Hits
8. Carrie Underwood -- Some Hearts
9. James Blunt -- Back To Bedlam
10. Train -- For Me, It's You

Looks like he made it. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)
That is a pretty old-people list: Barry Manilow, Bocelli, Il Divo -- I hope the record stores played Yellowcard really loud while they were in there.
I LOVED Copacabana as a kid. God help me. And I love that he didn't write "I Write the Songs." That is just too perfect an example of irony.
Is it too much to hope Eminem really is quitting the business?
