When it comes to popular music, Michael Buble is Mr. Christmas for 2011. The crooner claims the No. 1 spot on the Billboard album chart for the second consecutive week with 293,000 copies sold of his ‘Christmas’ album, which shows no signs of slowing down.
Record sales are nowhere near what they were 15 years ago, but you still never know when an amazing new talent is going to pop up, where they might appear or which corner of the globe they might hail from.
To help you keep track, Billboard recently put together its latest annual ranking of music’s biggest young stars, or 21 Under 21. This year’s edition has its share of expected names — it won’t surprise you to learn that Justin Bieber topped the list, with Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato making the top 10 — but you might find some unfamiliar faces, too.
Justin Bieber and Eminem may be two very different acts, but they wound up with the same number of awards at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards.
Each star collected six trophies. Eminem scored victories top artist, top male artist, top Billboard 200 album, top rap artist, top rap song and top rap album. The Beebs won for top new artist, top social artist, top streaming artist, top digital media artist, top pop album and top streaming song.
