Surprisingly, Rush's Snakes And Arrows was the top rock album of the week, debuting at #3. Did I fall asleep and wake up in 1977 or something?
Avril fell from #1 down to #4.
Tori Amos debuted at #5 with American Doll Posse, the latest album in her career-killing downward spiral. Really, it's not very good. I won't be buying her next album until she bounces back.
Feist debuted at #16 with The Reminder, a remarkable feat considering that it's much better than Broken Social Scene's ever done on the charts.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's Baby 81 debuted at #46. A promising start that will hopefully get better as the brilliant "Weapon Of Choice" leaks out onto rock radio stations.
Also debuting this week was the comeback album from Dinosaur Jr., Beyond, which started out slowly at #69.
Modern Rock:
Linkin Park stayed at #1. Sadly, I'm sure I"ll be saying that a lot in the near future.
Plain White T's "Hey, Delilah" moved up from #6 to #3, making it the top-ranked "good" song of the week.
The White Stripes "Icky Thump" jumps all the way from #24 to #7 to debut in the top 20. Not the best Stripes song, but how freakin' awesome is it for a band this good to become this popular without selling out in a U2 sort of way?
Also debuting in the top 20:
The Almost "Say This Sooner" at #18.
Sick Puppies "All The Same" at #20.
Mainstream Rock:
Linkin Park was also #1 on Mainstream. They were also on Saturday Night Live this week and their new album is sure to debut at #1 next week. Surrender, Dorothy, it's over. There is no refuge from the shitty rap metal bullshit phalanx.
Nothing else really significant this week though Red "Breathe Into Me" did debut at #17.
