It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words.

The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers.

Show Business (magazine)

''Show Business'' content includes casting calls and audition notices as well as theater-related news and information.

Show Business (album)
''Show Business'' (''stylized'' as $how Bu$ine$$) is the sixth album by the American hard rock band Kix. It was released in 1995 through CMC International, following their departure from Atlantic Records. Kix supported the album with a North American tour. The album was a commercial flop. ''Show Business'' was the band's last album before their long-term breakup. Critical reception ''Rolling Stone'' wrote that "there remains something oddly lovable about this goofy group of hard-rock power popsters who seem to have been going at it forever with only limited commercial success." The '' Deseret News'' deemed the album "light-hearted rock with lots of innuendo but not much substance."

Showbusiness!
''Showbusiness!'' is a 1994 live album by anarchist punk band Chumbawamba. It was recorded on the 18 and 19 August 1994 at the Duchess of York in Leeds. In response to threats from fascists who rang the venue to say they'd turn up mob-handed and trash it "if Chumbawamba play", Leeds Anti-Fascist Action organised security. Fittingly, all the money from both concerts (around £1500) was given to AFA. The album was issued in the United States as the ''For A Free Humanity: For Anarchy'' double CD, coupling ''Showbusiness!'' with Noam Chomsky's ''Capital Rules''. Track listing All songs written and arranged by Chumbawamba.

High Voltage (1975 Album)
''High Voltage'' is the debut studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released only in Australia, on 17 February 1975. Their first international release in 1976 would also be named ''High Voltage'', though with a radically different track list. Background In November 1973, guitarists Malcolm Young and Angus Young formed AC/DC and recruited bassist Larry Van Kriedt, vocalist Dave Evans, and Colin Burgess, ex- Masters Apprentices drummer. Soon the Young brothers decided that Evans was not a suitable frontman for the group; they felt he was more of a glam rocker like Gary Glitter. The band had recorded only one single with Evans, "Can I Sit Next To You Girl", with "Rockin' in the Parlour" as the B-side. In September 1974, Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott, an experienced vocalist and friend of producer George Young, replaced Dave Evans after friend Vince Lovegrove recommended him. The addition of Scott redefined the band; like the Young brothers, Scott had been born in Scot ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
