(CBS/AP) In what’s mildly surprising news, music sales in the United States are up. Finally, https://www.istmnzt3z6.online there’s more music out there that people are willing to pay for rather than steal. So maybe everyone in the United States owes Lars Ulrich an apology. Pictures: Lady Gaga U.S. music album sales grew in the first six months of the year from a year ago, the first gain since 2004, thanks to rising sales of digital tracks and albums. Tracking firm Nielsen SoundScan said Wednesday that overall album sales rose nearly 4 percent to 221.5 million units, from 213.6 million a year ago. The figure includes compact discs and digital albums. Nielsen also counts 10 tracks sold individually as one album.

(AP) BELFAST, Northern Ireland – Queen Elizabeth II and a former Irish Republican Army commander offered each other the hand of peace Wednesday in a long-awaited encounter symbolizing Northern Ireland’s progress in achieving reconciliation after decades of violence. The monarch and Martin McGuinness met privately inside Belfast’s riverside Lyric Theatre during a cross-community arts event featuring Northern Ireland musicians, poets and artists. Media were barred from seeing their first handshake during an ice-breaker over coffee and tea. But the two shook hands again a half-hour later for the cameras’ benefit, documenting a moment that would have been inconceivable back in the days when IRA leaders were plotting to kill the British royal family. McGuinness’ Irish nationalist Sinn Fein party had never attended a royal function before. Underlying the sensitivity of the occasion, no live footage or sound was permitted to be broadcast. Outside, flak-jacketed police shut down all roads surrounding the theater and told residents to stay inside their homes. Both smiled broadly as McGuinness took the queen’s white-gloved hand and spoke to her for about 5 seconds. Afterward McGuinness said he had told her in Gaelic — a language neither of them speaks — “Slan agus beannacht” and told her this meant “goodbye and godspeed.” The latter word actually means “blessing.” The 86-year-old head of state, 성남출장업소 resplendent in a suit and broad-brimmed hat of matching apple green,...

(CBS) Just days before Monaco’s royal wedding, the principality’s palace is denying rumors that princess-to-be Charlene Wittstock is getting cold feet. The website of the French magazine L’Express reports that Prince Albert II’s fiancee bought a one-way ticket to her home country of South Africa after learning that her future husband “was not as exemplary as she imagined.” Pictures: Charlene WittstockPictures: 봉화출장안마 Prince Albert II and Charlene WittstockSpecial section: Monaco’s royal wedding According to the report, she was stopped at a French airport by officials, who were acting on a request from the palace, before she could depart. But the allegations simply aren’t true, says Christiane Stahl, a chief advisor to Prince Albert at the Monaco Palace. “Please believe me, none of this is true, and we think it comes from utter jealousy,” Stahl told People magazine on Tuesday. “Charlene never left to go to the airport, nothing like that ever happened. She was never upset and never wanted to stop the wedding.” “The Prince’s Palace firmly denies the allegations made in the press this morning on the web site Express.fr,” the palace said in an official statement, obtained by the magazine. “These rumors spread a few days before the wedding ceremonies of H.S.H Prince Albert and Miss Charlene Wittstock have only one purpose to seriously damage the Sovereign’s image and by consequence that of Miss Wittstock and to cause serious...
