Sade's Big Return


They've been around for 25 years, but have somehow managed to keep a low-key profile while still selling millions of albums.

Sade (people think it's just one person but it's actually a band, kind of like the Dave Matthews Band) have released their latest album Soldier of Love, and it's expected to debut BIG on next week's Billboard 200 albums chart.

According to Billboard experts are saying the set could sell up to 400,000 copies in its debut week, a big sum for any artist, but especially for a group that rarely does much promotion or spend time in the spotlight.

Sade are a very unique group in the music biz; they hate the celebrity life and often go back to leading a private, low-key life after they release an album. They have managed to sell nearly 25 million records JUST in the United States alone, and are continuing to expand their fan base.

Good for them! I think it's great that there is a band that focuses all on the MUSIC and doesn't care about anything else!
