DYK ... According to Hits Daily Double (the companion web site of music industry tip sheet HITS), Australian hard-rock legends AC/DC have sold 7 million physical albums in the U.S. between 2004 and 2007, more than the combined physical and digital totals of PINK FLOYD (6 million), THE EAGLES (5.1 million), THE ROLLING STONES (4.9 million) or LED ZEPPELIN (4.7 million). By comparison, THE BEATLES have sold 8 million CDs during the same period.

"Like THE BEATLES, AC/DC has yet to make its catalog available online, leading to the unanswerable question of how much, if it all, the iTunes boycott has benefited the band’s overall sales."

Pink Floyd's spokesman Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist, said Wright died after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. He says the band member's family did not want to give more details about his death

Your back yard is only big enough to hold a watermelon.

DYK: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! Due to the recession, the sexual position 69 is now called 96. Apparently even the cost of "eating out" has gone up.
