15 Minutes (Barry Manilow album)
''15 Minutes'' is the 28th studio album by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow, which was released on June 14, 2011.
It was the first independent release of his career, through his Stiletto Entertainment label (distributed by Fontana/Universal Music). In interviews around the time of the release, Manilow said that his long-time friend and mentor, Clive Davis, had told him he couldn't sell an album of Manilow performing new Manilow songs now, given the string of great albums covering other artists' songs Manilow released in the 1990s and 2000s. Manilow thought he could still be relevant as a songwriter too. This led to his second departure from Arista and the decision to go independent.
Although described by Manilow as a concept album,〔http://www.maniloweu.com/page114.html〕 it can be as accurately described as a rock opera, making this his debut in this genre. The majority of the songs were co-written with longtime lyricist Enoch Anderson, with one song "Wine Song" co-written with another longtime lyricist, Adrienne Anderson. If "He's a Star" sounds familiar, it should: it is a modern uptempo makeover of "She's a Star", a Manilow-Enoch Anderson song originally featured on ''Tryin' to Get the Feeling'' back in 1975.
==Commercial performance==
The album debuted on the ''Billboard'' 200 album chart at its peak position of #7, his first studio album of mostly original songs to crack the Top 10 since 1979's ''One Voice'', thus proving Manilow could still be a relevant singer and songwriter. It also debuted on the UK album chart at its peak of #20. In Canada, the album reached #36 on the Canadian Albums Chart.〔http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Charts/ALBUMS.html〕
