The first two are good, but I am not sure what keenly priced means. Perhaps:

CDs are competitively priced at retail outlets.

For the fourth sentence, try:

Our seats at the rock concert were carefully chosen.

For the fifth sentence, perhaps:

After his singularly unsuccessful previous work, his new album has reached number one on the charts.

Or:

After his singularly unsuccessful previous work, his new album has become a number one seller.
