Somewhere out there, Miley Cyrus and Korn are sitting around wondering who the hell UGK and Plies are, and why they sold sold so many damn albums last week? UGK's first album in 5 years sold 160,000 (more than Common last week) and Plies sold 96,000. What can I say? Texas and Florida are really big states.
On the Hip Hop & R&B charts, Amy Winehouse slipped back into the top 10. I credit rehab.

The only ones I've seen on vH1 from that top 10 are Fergie, Amy, Common and TI.
Kinda off topic but Rehab is my least favorite Amy Wino song.
Oh no, if going to rehab pushed her back to the top ten then that's probably going to be the new trend for musicians
daria,
Awww come on! Rehab is the jam. However, 'Back to Black' and 'Wake Up Alone' are the shit!
UGK's CD got good reviews from EW, Vibe, etc. And ppl have been waiting for it to drop. It's not bad from what I've heard.
JillyBean, no! "Tears Dry on Their Own" and "F— Me Pumps" do it for me. Maybe my ethics don't let me like "Rehab." I mean, have you seen the girl?! She's 23 years old.
Ethics? Ethics are no fun on a Friday night. Give me a rich, white chick who can afford the good shit. LOL.
What good shit? She's not on what Whitney circa 00 and Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss were on. Cocaine will make you look scary thin. She looks like a crack wh–e who could be on the corner turning tricks for her next high (Whitney circa 05?). She might be rich, but she looks like she bargain hunts for her drugs.
Good coke is still coke. When done in large amounts you will still look blown regardless of how good it is.**
Winehouse just looks like she has bad genes. Even is she were a choir girl, I think she'd still look fcked.
**or so I've read.
Forgot to add that you do have a point: she is pretty scary looking.
Why is Lukas Haas in this video? Why was he in "Roses"? Funny
