    he cant have the biggest xmas album of all time… yet. mariah has sold 4million in the states and 10 mill all over the world with merry xmas. without a real classic like AIWFCIY the album wont be as recurrent in future holiday seasons. i love his voice but better get your number right. 666k? lol

    It's called Good Quality Music, folks. Let's hope the record companies see this and stop putting out shit.

    Re: harpo tells you to buy and you listen
    First of all, it came out in early October. No one buys Christmas music in October. Second of all, it has been in the top ten since it's release (I believe 10 weeks on the charts), the last 4…yes 4 of which, it was at #1 with increases every week. Yes, I agree, it didn't hurt him to be on Oprah…but it has more to do with the fact that this young man is actually talented, unlike most of the 'so-called' artists out there.

    Re: quents
    Actually, according to RIAA certification, it has sold 4 million…it is quadruple platinum. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but that is 4 million just in the US.

    Gee, a holiday album would sell more closer to the holiday? Shocking! Astute observation as always.

    Re: DL

    RIAA doesn't calculate sales, only what's shipped. two different things.

    It's actually 669,161.
    Shows you how much Perez knows about the music biz.

    I HEART JOSH- he is SO great in concert! Perez- have you met him? If not, you should!

    Re: Nick

    Perhaps horns rather than a crown…ha!! ha!!

  14. TMC says – reply to this


    114

    Re: Josh Groban

    With or Without the crown???

    That Wyatt…he put up this link…by the end of 2007, there should be about 666,000+ comments here…just venturing to guess here, but at least 600,000 are likely to result from Grobanites…of course, this is nothing but a guess, ha!! ha!!

    Re: EC

    Darn it…did you have to go now and ruin the fun…you know…I am getting old…there is not much left for me to enjoy…except the many moments of senility I am experiencing…that aside, I was getting a kick out of the 666,000 that was listed…thinking perhaps he should have horns on his head rather than the crown…ha!! ha!!

    Re: Horny Gay guy

    Say WHAT???

  17. TMC says – reply to this


    117

    Re: DL

    You are absolutely correct for two reasons:

    1. His father is Jewish, and not his mother
    2. His father converted from Judaism into another religion

    So technically under traditional Jewish Halakhah…he is not Jewish by any means.

    Congratulations to Josh. How nice it is to see a talented and hard working artist find success. I personally think "Noel" is a classic which will still be listened to for many years to come.

    Re: harpo tells you to buy and you listen – Oprah obviously has good taste in music, but this would have sold without her help. Is it really that surprising that a CHRISTMAS album would start selling more after Thanksgiving than in October or early November?

    Josh Groban a horny little devil? Sounds just fine to me!!!

  21. f23ghost says – reply to this


    121

    brit and all other pop singers should take lessons from him. his singing is incredible.

    ps. WILL YOU TARDS STOP WITH THE FIRST CRAP!
    (WHO CARES)!

  22. You wish you were Groban says – reply to this


    122

    For all those who think he's Jewish. His father was, but converted when he married his mother. Josh was raised Episcapalian. Horny Gay Guy, you should keep those thoughts to yourself, that's gross and creepy, and I hope you were kidding.

    YAY! This could not have happened for a more deserving artist.

    124

    YOU HAVE TO BE KIDING ME? THAT IS THE MOSY ANNOYING CD I HAVE HEARD THIS YEAR. I GUESS YOU HAVE TO BE WHITE TO APPRECIATE THAT ANNOYING VOICE. FYI, OPRAH IS WHITE

    Re: DA 1 – Thanks for ruining the only positive comment board I've read in a while. There was no reference to race, or religion (a little but not negative). You came along and ruined that. It's fine that you don't like Josh, but to say it's "White" music & call Oprah "White" is just plain ignorant. All types of people like Josh Groban, black or white, Jewish, Christian, whatever. I don't really like rap, but I don't call it "Black" music. That is also enjoyed by many people. Music isn't prejudice of racist it's enjoyed by all.

    GOOOO JOSH GROBAN! AMAZING SINGER he totally deserves everything!

    Re: You wish you were Groban

    Horny gay guy comment is completely appauling…I practically choked…that was just way too descriptive…I mean joking around…that is fine, but put that way…eeewww…I think it goes beyond "kidding" in my opinion…as a matter of fact, I would wager to bet that Horny gay guy is missing a few screws upstairs.

    Re: DA 1

    No, sweetheart, Michael Jackson is white…so what you are basically saying is that NOEL is mutually exclusive only to the White community?? Well, I am white…last time I checked…and I am Jewish…so NOEL doesn't apply to me…could it be a religion thing too?? Just wondered…I mean we might as well break it down along all lines in the Civil Rights Act…just to add more excitement to the mix…as if NOEL wasn't exciting enough…it needs to be boosted to show a discriminatory aspect too…hey, why not? We wouldn't want to attribute it any to the musical talents of Josh Groban…why give him any credit?? That might be too simplistic…and forget WB…we will just completely take them out of the picture…well, JG…good thing you love your soft, curly hair, when all is said and done…and your discriminatory CD is become a thing of the past…at least you will have your soft, curly hair to fall back on…I think the spiked Egg Nog is looking better and better every day!! ha!! ha!!

    Re: Twilinda – Why do you have to be so crude? You and horny gay guy should get together and do whatever the hell you want as long as you keep your mouth shut.

    134

    Re: You wish you were Groban

    I think that would work only if Twilinda was a man…ha!! ha!!
    It is truly unbelievable…isn't it???
    And so close to the holiday season too…maybe Santa should skip their house…even coal would be too good for them, don't you think??

  35. You wish you were Groban says – reply to this


    135

    Re: TMC – Agreed. They can enjoy their coal(or something worse), and I'll enjoy opening my presents while listining to Josh on repeat;)
