Lenny Kravitz's upcoming album is titled, "It Is Time for a Love Revolution," with songs including "Love Love Love" and "Will You Marry Me." But anyone expecting a confessional on his romantic life may be disappointed.

The surest bet in music these days is that all bets are off. The industry learned the hard way that even platinum divas (Mariah Carey), rock sensations (Limp Bizkit) and sizzling trends (teen pop) can go from royal flush to toilet flush in the blink of a Third Eye Blind.

NASHVILLE (Billboard) - Despite the comfort of her surroundings -- a warm and tastefully decorated den dominated by a fireplace on one wall and windows that look out over her front 40 on another -- Sheryl Crow is clearly not comfortable.

Having a No. 1 album just isnât what it used to be. This week Alicia Keys is back atop the Billboard chart with âAs I Amâ (J), but the 61,000 copies it has sold is barely above the historic low for a No. 1 album, Nielsen SoundScan reported. The âJunoâ soundtrack, on Rhino, fell to No. 2, with 55,000 sold. New releases dot the chart this week. The Mars Volta, which revels in head-spinningly complex progressive rock, opened in the third spot with 54,000 sales of âFrances the Muteâ (Universal); the Welsh heavy metal band Bullet for My Valentine reached fourth place with âScream Aim Fireâ (Jive), selling 53,000; and the â2008 Grammy Nomineesâ compilation (Hip-O/Universal) moved 50,000, opening at No. 5. The remix album âHannah Montana 2: Non-Stop Dance Partyâ (Disney) bowed at No. 7, and Vampire Weekend, the acclaimed New York indie band, reached No. 17 with its self-titled debut on the XL label.

In 1996, the Internet was a curiosity for most, the record labels were swollen with cash from CD sales, and R.E.M.'s "New Adventures in Hi-Fi" could only add to that hoard. Critics and fans drooled for the alt-rockers' follow-up to their last two hit albums, and the media counted down the days until the CD hit stores in September of that year.

Sheryl Crow, who had breast cancer surgery last year, has wished Luciano Pavarotti well in his own battle against cancer. Crow spoke about the famed tenor while she was on the Italian resort island of Ischia, where she received a music award, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.
