The sad news of John Peel's passing isn't the only surprising music-world news this week. In fact, there's tons of it. Three items immediately strike me.
There's to be a third recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Great idea, but we'll see about the execution.
For the first time since Blondes Have More Fun, Rod Stewart is topping the U.S. album chart. As crap as it is, I'd rather hear Blondes than Stardust.
Jay-Z's about to be named President of Island Def Jam. Think about that for just a moment. [Meanwhile, his new duet album with R. Kelly is set to debut at #1 on next week's album chart.]
