These are the categories our alums took an award home in:

Demi Lovato Does Okay In Second Week. Ashley Tisdale Starts Out Rough.

This week's Billboard charts were released yesterday. While we knew Demi Lovato (April 26 - May 3, 2009) wasn't gonna keep the #1 slot again on the Billboard 200, "Here We Go Again" has a decent decline to #8 with 39,000 copies, which is a 64% decline. The album has sold 146,000 copies so far, so it might be here for a while. Fabolous took the top spot, by the way.

However, it wasn't a good start for Ashley Tisdale (June 21 - 28, 2009). Her second album "Guilty Pleasure" debuts at #12 with 25,000 copies. It's bad enough her movie "Aliens in the Attic" did mediocre in its opening weekend, but the album doesn't do better than "Headstrong" in its opening week back in 2007. That album debuted at #4 with 64,000 copies. It wasn't Ashley's fault or anything. The promotion was all good except for the first single. She may need to release "Masquerade" or "Hot Mess" as a single very soon, because "It's Alright, It's OK" is not going to help her out unless the payola kicks in.

The Third Results From Week 80

Okay, today is Tuesday, August 4th, 2009. That means it's time to announce another winner from last week's Lollapalooza II contest.
