Susan Boyle Spends Another Week on Top While Chris Brown Nosedives
Susan Boyle's dream continues as the singer easily outsells all comers to remain the top selling artist in the U.S. for another week. Meanwhile, Chris Brown's nightmare becomes worse.

Susan Boyle's debut album "I Dreamed A Dream" actually enjoyed an increase in sales last week by 13%, moving an additional 659,382 copies last week according to the latest Hits Double Daily chart. This gives Boyle another week at the top of the U.S. album charts.

Boyle easily held off Alicia Keyes news album "The Element of Freedom," which comes in second with 405,762 copies sold and Andrea Bocelli's My Christmas which sold an additional 384,928 copies last week.

Chris Brown on the other hand suffered a major drop from his disappointing 6th place debut last week for his new album, "Graffiti," which nosedived this week all the way down to No. 32 with sales of 51,858. A 49% drop.

George Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today" was selected by the Library of Congress' National Recording Preservation Board and will be featured on this weekend's "The Sounds of American Culture" program on PRI's Studio360.

The award winning radio series continues to draw attention to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry. This weekend show's featured guests include George Jones and Bobby Braddock, the song's co-author and country columnist Hazel Smith who will discuss the history of the song, its recording and the impact it has had on music throughout the years.

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" George Jones (1980) George Jones has said that he initially thought "He Stopped Loving Her Today" was too sad to be very popular, but, at one of the lowest points of his career and personal life, he made it one of country music's defining and most enduring songs. Billy Sherrill's restrained production highlighted the plaintive yet highly nuanced vocals that were the hallmark of Jones' mature style, a style that stretched back to his days singing for tips in the streets of his hometown, Beaumont, Texas, in the 1940s. - more on this story
