"Saffek" announced a special show this week, taking place at the end of the month.

The band "Coldplay", known for its spectacular live shows, announced this week that it will play the biggest show in its history on January 25.

And speaking of "Guns N' Roses", this week the band earned another distinction, becoming the eighth act with an album to spend more than 700 weeks on the Billboard 200. The surprising part is that it was not "Appetite For Destruction", but its compilation "Greatest Hits", first released in 2004.
