I heard that the former 80's pop idols, Duran Duran, will be reuniting for a new album this year. Anyone know what the word is on the street about them getting back together? I checked the US Billboard Top 100 albums chart online yesterday, and I realized that there were NO pop music bands on there. NONE! We only have solo artists (Avril Lavigne or Justin Timberlake), rock groups (pseudo-punk or alternative), or hip hop/rap artists. It just struck me as weird that there wasn't even ONE band that played all their own music and called themselves a pop group. The US is obsessed with rock-style groups, so even bands like Hootie and the Blowfish consider themselves rock and not pop. How strange...
