"Billboard Charting Shameful," declare Saints Cecilia and Matthew
"Michael Jackson deserves the # 1 Spot over Vegetables, Black Eyed Peas
The Patron Saint of Accountants, Saint Matthew, has joined with the Patroness of Music Lovers, Saint Cecilia, from http://www.saintsforsinners.com/ decrying "Faulty Billboard Magazine Addition and Categorizing." Both Saint Cecilia and Saint Matthew are pictured above, as hand-painted saint medals enjoying a game of "Where's Waldo."
Today, The New York Times, in an article by Ben Sisaro reported that Michael Jackson's Records, "Number Ones," "The Essential Michael Jackson" and "Thriller," all sold over 100,00 records each, according to Nielson Soundscan. The total number of records sold was over 420,000.
Yet, in what Saint Matthew said is "pitifully ludicrous ridiculosity," some Black Eyed Peas are listed as having the number one record for the week, for their record, appropriately titled "The E.N.D." Matthew added "The Peas only sold 88,000 records and as the first Certified Public Accountant ever awarded the title, I can tell you with some certainty, that 100,000 is more than 88,000."
The Director of Charts for Billboard, Silvio Pietroluongo, even acknowledged that the "level of dominance by Michael Jackson on the top .... is unlike anything we've ever seen." Replied Saint Cecilia, "Sheesh, then give him the Number Ones he deserves," and all the other Saints pictured above agreed.
