"Sopranos" Fans Don't Stop Downloading

Posted Jun 18th 2007 12:32PM by TMZ Staff

While a lot of people were upset by last week's ambiguous and abrupt "Sopranos" series finale, there's one group that couldn't have asked for a better ending -- Journey!
Steve Perry and Sopranos
After the '80s band's power ballad, "Don't Stop Believin," played in the background during the last minutes of the episode, fans caused downloads of the song to jump 482%. Don't stop, indeed! The karaoke staple even made it to #1 on iTunes Music Rock Chart -- not bad for a song the same age as Jamie-Lynn Sigler aka the parking-challenged Meadow Soprano.

The 1981 arena-rock anthem is no stranger to contemporary audiences, having been featured in key scenes in Charlize Theron's "Monster" and in 2005 episodes of "Family Guy" and "Laguna Beach." Steve Perry's mortgage thanks you!

26. Journey was a decent band BEFORE Steve Perry joined. After that, they sucked out loud. Steve Perry's voice is one of the worst I've ever heard, and their songs are horrible. Just typical, F.M. Top 40 crap. If they toured with REO Speedwagon, the tour would be canceled due to lack of ticket sales.

27. Actually, Ooba Gooba, Steve Perry, along with Freddy Mercury, is a classically trained (opera, in case you don't know what that means) singer. His voice is superior and one of the best, if not the best, in rock and roll. And i'm not even that big of a Journey fan, but it is the truth.
