Dec 29 2008
2008 was swept with musical acts such as Flo-Rida, Chris Brown, and T-Pain. But none of them hit big like none other than Louisiana native, Lil Wayne. “Tha Carter III” sold over 1,000,ooo copies it’s first opening week. With smash single “Lollipop” staying for 5 weeks at number 1 at the Billboard Hot 100, Lil’ Wayne was a force to be reckoned with.
But what does 2009 have in store for Mr. “Lollipop”? While he has a new album due to release with T-Pain (who he collaborated with and formed supergroup T-Wayne) and is part of the up-coming The Fast and the Furious (set due to release in April of ‘09), everyone doubts that he can recapture what 2008 did for him.
But will have the championship belt in 2009? Will boy group the Jonas Brothers finally overthrow teen queen Miley Cyrus? Will Rihanna finally get that major hit she’s been looking for since “Disturbia”? Will Adele’s “Chasing Pavements” finally hit #1?
Who knows! But let’s hope that 2009 will be just as big as 2008 in the world of music.
