Now That's What I Call Turning On The Fucking Radio remained on the top of the sales chart this week, although indie rock superstar Bright Eyes' new album Cassadega did manage to debut at #4, continuing indie rock's surprisingly strong presence on the album sales charts in 2007.
Also debuting highly on the charts this week was the self-titled album by Hellyeah, which features former members of Pantera.
Over on the Modern Rock Charts, Linkin Park spent their second week on the chart with their second week at #1 with "What I've Done", so I guess we're gonna have to put up with their music being EVERYWHERE for at least the next year.
Nine Inch Nails' "Survivalism" drops from #2 down to #6... just in time for the release of the album it's supporting...
Also on Modern, The Bravery make their return to the charts after a nearly 2 year absence with "Time Won't Let Me Go" debuting in the top 20.
Over on the shortbus, I mean the Mainstream Rock charts, Breaking Benjamin's "Breath" remains at #1 for yet another week, though it's doubtful they'll be able to hold off the Linkin Park juggernaut for another week.
You have to go all the way down to #8 to find a decent song on Mainstream this week, as Tool's "Jambi" is up 2 spots from #10.
Debuting in the top 20 this week is "Side Of A Bullet" by Nickelback. "Bullet" is the 47th song to be released from their latest album, which was so great the Rolling Stone opined that they're almost glad Kurt Cobain didn't leave to hear it.
Interesting trivia, did you know that Nickelback was the best selling contemporary rock act of 2006? Also, did you know that everything they've ever done sucks? Why, America, why? Why Nickelback? Why Three Days Grace? Why Breaking Benjamin? Why Hinder or Crossfade or Trapt? Didn't the early 90s teach you ANYTHING? Music can be good AND acceptable to the masses, it doesn't have to be one or the other! Oh what's the point? I'll let you get back to Linkin Park now.
