Population 1 (Nuno Bettencourt) reaches # 16 in internet sales...
From the Pop 1 e-mail announcement today.
Because of your support of the "Sessions From Room 4" CD, we received a pleasant surprise call from Billboard Magazine, the music industry's bible, telling us that we debuted on their Billboard Internet chart at #16. Needless to say, everyone in the Population 1 camp was elated to hear the news. In fact, when I called Nuno in the Azores to tell him the good news, he thought I was joking. I assured him that I was not and he told me to tell all of you how much the band appreciates your support. I figgered I'd also use it as a chance to give a cheap plug to Pop 1's new EP, the abovementioned "Sessions from Room 4." I've got it on order, but haven't yet heard it. I know that Nuno's "Population 1" was a great album, with the exception of a couple of filler tracks ( "Sick Punk" was bad as a Mourning Widows track, bringing it to Pop 1 was unecessary...) “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”--John Rogers |

Not surprising. Nuno is some pretty decent stuff.

Yeah, the problem is that his fanbase could fit on a postage stamp.

However, this EP should rectify things. It's very poppy. Hopefully, when they come out with a record, it will tend a little more towards the earlier EP (Really an LP)'s stuff, instead of the current stuff. It's not bad, I just expected more out of Nuno...Or something.

Apparently, "Exit" and "tragedy" are massively popular on iPod.
