Thanks for suggesting this. I had already downloaded it, and love it, but I hope more will take a chance on this freebie and discover this great music.

I'm pretty sure one of those two was Mary J Blige's The Breakthrough.

Yup. It's the deal of the day now. Where to they find such obscure old albums anyway?






And not that it really matters, but they list Speak To Me / Breathe as one track with nine tracks total on the album while my CD has it listed as the first two of ten tracks. Which is actually correct?

Separate is in the original, but the first track flows right into the second, so they are often combined.

It's not a CD vs MP3 difference. Many CDs also have them together. I suppose that with MP3 download, it's hard to convince people to spend $0.99 for the first track alone when it's only 1 min long. And the second track would start out badly without the first, so I think it's better to have them combined.

US7digital's $2 Album of the Day :
Ne-Yo Year Of The Gentleman

It was a Grammy nominee for Album of the Year this past year. I like Closer; maybe I'll check it out

Nah, there's always a new crop of 13 year olds who desperately want to appear musically deep.

Thank you. That song always creeped me out and I wondered why it's considered a holiday standard, since it's only slightly more subtle than "Let's Get It On".

I was hoping for Bob Dylan's Christmas album today, but I'll take this...

Susan Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream for $3.99.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

They've also got 800 albums at $5 a piece, and they're running a special from now until January 10 where if you buy a select album at $7.99 or more, you can get one of the $5 albums for free...

Here.

Entertainment Weekly names her genre as geezer pop. Listening to a sample of her tracks, she sounds much younger than she looks.

Wow, the final item in the 7digital Advent calender? A five track Christmas album by Nat King Cole that runs for a TOTAL duration of 8 min, 38 seconds. Gee, thanks I guess...
