I was amazed at what the top selling music list consisted of on Amazon. I don't think I am interested in purchasing any of these items. I wondered how many of you are going to be buying these items in the future. Please make sure you take my poll at the bottom of this article so we can all see the results.

I feel like I am an average consumer, but if these are truly the top selling music cd's I am surprised. Leave me a comment at the bottom of the page and tell me what was the last cd you purchased.

 The multi-Grammy winning artist hunkered down in recording studios in LA, Brooklyn, New York and his hometown of Vancouver for the last six months to make his "ultimate record about the inevitable roller coaster ride of relationships." The first single, "Haven't Met You Yet,” written by Bublé (with Alan Chang and Amy Foster) is scheduled to be released to radio on August 31st. Additional tunes on the album include "Cry Me A River,” "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You,” "Georgia On My Mind" and "Baby (You’ve Got What It Takes)" which was performed with Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings.

The two-disc companion album to the 'Michael Jackson's This Is It' concert film has hit No. 1 in the U.S. and in 16 countries abroad.

The album, which features the new Jackson song "This Is It," also includes original album masters of such songs as "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "Smooth Criminal," and a spoken word poem by Jackson called "Planet Earth."

Bon Jovi told Rolling Stone that they’ll be going “back to rock & roll” on their next album, and today we learned when their return to their roots will go down: Bon Jovi announced today that their next album The Circle will be released on November 10th. First single “We Weren’t Born To Follow” debuted on radio yesterday, featuring an anthemic chorus of “We weren’t born to follow, come on and get up off your knees, when life is a bitter pill to swallow, you got to hold on to what you believe.”

 All 12 original albums, from Please Please Me to Let It Be, have been remastered and are being issued in stereo (these are the same tracklistings as have been on CD since the 80s, including the American version of Magical Mystery Tour). In addition, the two Past Masters CDs, which collect singles and tracks that didn't appear on the original albums, have been combined into one 2xCD set. The first four albums are appearing in stereo on CD for the first time. The packaging for all stereo CDs includes the original artwork and liner notes, along with new recording notes and a historical essay. Rather than jewel boxes, the stereo CDs are packaged in sharp-looking and durable foldout cardboard packaging. Each CD contains a short documentary in QuickTime format on the making of the album (these are said to be limited to this initial reissue).

“American Idol’s” runner-up glam rocker Adam Lambert will be releasing his debut album this month. “For Your Entertainment” hits stores on Monday, November 23.

The album has contributions from artists such as Lady Gaga, Pink, Muse, Justin Hawkins formerly of The Darkness and River Cuomo of Weezer.

The first single of the same name was introduced on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show on October 30. “For Your Entertainment” was written by Claude Kelly and Dr. Luke and produced by Dr. Luke. Adam also co-wrote four of the songs on the album.

 If there's a slam-dunk aspect to Carrie Underwood's third album, it's that she's handed her "American Idol" benefactors a theme song for the next episode of "Idol Gives Back." That song is "Change," an exercise in social responsibility that challenges the listener to stay open to the possibility that a small gesture can make a big difference.

Sting has confirmed plans to return this fall with a new solo album titled If On a Winter’s Night… on his official Website. The October 27th album, inspired by what Sting calls his favorite season, will feature two original compositions along with carols, lullabies and traditional songs from the British Isles.

“The theme of winter is rich in inspiration and material,” Sting said. “By filtering all of these disparate styles into one album I hope we have created something refreshing and new.” The two Sting songs on the disc are called “Lullaby for an Anxious Child” and “The Hounds of Winter,” and both have been previously released (”Hounds” is the opening track of his 1996 solo album Mercury Falling). Other tracks include the 14th century carol “Gabriel’s Message,” the traditional ballad “The Snow it Melts the Soonest,” Henry Purcell’s “Now Winter Comes Slowly” and an English reworking of Schubert’s “Der Leiermann” now called “Hurdy Gurdy Man.”

O'Neill and company have, in fact, been working on "Night Castle" since 2005, a year after TSO's last release, "The Lost Christmas Eve," which has sold 1.8 million copies and gave TSO its highest ever chart peak at No. 26 on the Billboard 200. The group even released one of the tracks, "Night Enchanted," in 2008 via Amazon.com, "just to show people that we really did have something new coming," O'Neill says with a laugh.

"Night Castle's" release will be preceded by a single, a cover of Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "Nutrocker" that features Greg Lake guesting on bass.
