Did you see where Carrie's album dropped 41% in her 2nd week? Down sharply from #2 to #7

Didn't know that. Is Madonna still #1? If so, I don't put much stock in what the charts say. Carrie's album is really good, IMO. I haven't stopped listening to it since I bought it.

Word from those who've heard some pre-release clips is that Clive Davis stuck Bo with a bunch of so-so pop stuff, and that Bo doesn't even sound like himself. Overall preliminary buzz is that the album is weak.

That's about what I thought :-/

Madonna fell 38% to #4. Current #1 is System of a Down's new album. They sold 331,164 their first week. Kenny Chesney had a big 63% sales increase due to his special on TV, so he's back to #2.

It's a shame about Bo. I thought because he's older and has more experience in the business that he might be able to resist Davis' poor choices. But I guess those contracts tie the artists' hands.
