The Force is With Adidas in Star-Studded Ad, Record Sales Slump

Submitted by admin on Mon, 2010-06-07 18:13

In today's Daily Noise, brought to you by Fuse [1] and Billboard.com, the record industry hit bottom last week--the week ending May 30 marked the fewest number of albums sold since Nielsen SoundScan began compiling data in 1994. Adidas' "Star Wars"-themed World Cup ad is making the rounds--the CGI creation features stars including Daft Punk [2], Snoop Dogg [3], soccer icon David Beckham and others causing trouble in the Tatooine Cantina. In New Noise, Christina Aguilera [4] talks about her inspiration for new album "Bionic".
