In 2005, rap's reigning Detroit superstar Eminem took the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City, just before his retirement from live performance. Originally filmed for the US TV series "Showstoppers," this concert was larger-than-life, with multi-level staging, amazing lighting, and guest appearances from D12, Obie Trice, and Stat Quo.

Recently released from the label are high-def titles by Rick Wakeman, John Mayall, Jamiroquai, Jason Aldean, Kenny G, Jeff Beck, and many others. - more on this story

Setting numerous records that may never be exceeded, her new album topped a powerful field of new albums to win #1. Although no other artist or act had matched her prior record of four straight decades at #1, the new achievement may be a bar that can never be equaled. Streisand is the #1 female album-selling recording artist in history and the only woman to make the Top 10 all time best selling artists list. Her accomplishments include 50 gold, 30 platinum and 13 multi-platinum albums. Barbra's previous number #1 albums include: People (1964), The Way We Were (1974), Greatest Hits Volume II (1979), Guilty (1980), The Broadway Album (1985), Back to Broadway (1993) and Higher Ground (1997).
