    Uh, don't know what happened there. Embarassed I meant...

    No. 2? WTH? LOL, OMG! I ♥ NKOTB! Eye-wink

    While I'm not as crazy a fan this time around, I'm really happy for them. Smiling

    Yah Woop I agree- Im shocked it did that well but I'm definitely happy about it. More actual singing would be nice on the radio rather than, I'm sorry, whats your name, Jeezy? Really?

    I am not surprised in the least, I think most girls who liked them before still like them (even if its in private lol). I didn't buy the album but their new song is good and there old stuff is classic Laughing out loud

    That doesnt show your age at all! I'm the age that apparently likes this crap! I honestly was saying that about half of the terrible bands that were on the VMA's! Who is that? or What song do they sing? I honestly have no idea who Jeezy or his brother Sheezy or his mom Wheezy is but apparently the kids like em.

    You guys are crazy! I wasn't a fan of NKTB the first time around...I like Summertime though. I just don't do the fan thing. Did someone say N'SYNC??? Where? Where! ...Quit playing!...games with my heart...heehee hee.Eye-wink
    I'm not grown enough for Young Jeezy; too thug for my taste.

    I am surprised it only got to #2 considering all the solid hype they've had for months, not to mention the curiosity factor. They only sold about 100k and were 150k away from the #1 spot. This doesn't bode well for them and I am sure the album will drop quickly down the charts in the coming weeks.

    I am a diehard fan, bought the CD, love it, and will be seeing them in November! I am still surprised it sold so many, but very happy for them!

    They are #2 because they are "hanging tough":

    Bri,

    I do know Jeezy, and from I've learned, Jeezy himself has proclaimed that "Jeezy's on some other shizz"...and that's foreezy!!!

    Ugh, I can't stand boys bands. They are so fake and too obvious with attracting naive young girls with their sirupy songs and the banalities of their lyrics.

    It could be fun as they are easy to imitate and mock. But it can be sad also. Mostly when you hear about girls actually crying at their concerts...

    That's the hilarity of the matter (the crying girls).

    true. Like when that girl on TRL who was about to explode because she was breathing near a Jonas kid. Sad? Yes. Funny? Yes, also.

    I was a fan when I was a kid. I heard they were having a lot of success this summer.
    however I didn't hear any of their songs...as if radio would be open-minded enough to let some group like them back on the air...so, I didn't get the opportunity to regain interest.
    Honestly, I shouldn't be surprised. Jordan and Joey both had big successes in the late 90's, coming out with solo albums in the middle of the then-new teen pop craze.
    However, I just didn't care myself, but I'm glad to hear pop doing great again. Though I enjoy hip hop, radio has become way too crazed about it.
    If I hear one more song by a dude seeing a thong in the club, I'll puke!
