Talk:Music in the 2000s

Popular music
The article covers only popular music, perhaps it should be named that way (Popular music in the 2000s). GregorB (talk) 02:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Michael Jackson
OK these are the sales by Michael Jackson in the 2000's


 * Invincible = 8 million
 * Number Ones = 7 million
 * Multiple other reissues (total combined sales) = 2 million
 * Thriller 25 = 2 million copes (Already!!!)
 * And 8 years of back catalog sales of his old albums = ???

From that, without looking at his backcatalog sales he has sold about 20 million albums in the 2000's. I imagine if you counted his backcatalog it would be closer to 25 million. That makes him one of the best solo males of the decade and he will still have another studio album out by the fall of the decade. His back catalog is still outselling Madonnas. It is really odd having "Chris Brown" in the lead and not Jackson, Brown is on about 6 million max I believe. I have added MJ to the lead. — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 22:14, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

DUH
Don't be stupid- MJ is a definitively 80s artist. These are artists who are famous as definitively 2000s. Sales don't matter, decade relevance does.

error about metal
"In the metal world, a new form of metal that fused elements of melodic death metal, thrash metal and hardcore punk called metalcore achieved popularity. Heavy Metal Bands such as Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Trivium, and System of a Down and many others achieved success in the 2000s."

This is wrong the artists used as examples are not metal. They are alternative rock or Nu Metal or Metalcore. Im pissed at this because you said they were heavy metal bands which they are not. Know what music you are talking about before writing about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperTiencha (talk • contribs) 04:13, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Also everyone has forgotten the huge Jam Band scene. Bands such as Sound tribe sector 9, lotus, Keller Williams, and other jam bands have become a huge part of the 2000's music scene. Jam bands should no be left out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.223.216.246 (talk) 02:27, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
