THIS WEEK’S SOUNDSCAN CHARTS REVEALED
Kid Rock maintained strong sales this week, despite dropping one slot to #2. Jimmy Eat World and Santana (albeit a Greatest Hits) had Top 10 debuts, while the first two parts of Thrice’s ambitious Alchemy Index suite had a solid debut as well. In other notables, Finger Eleven managed to move up the chart again after it finally seemed to be losing steam, and Hinder jumped 64 spots to #102, giving us ojita.
Chart positions and sales numbers after the jump.
#2: Kid Rock – Rock N’ Roll Jesus
This Week: 77,004
Cume: 249,816
Kid Rock is going to sell units. No surprise here. The stupidity of middle America continues to astound me.
#5: Jimmy Eat World – Chase This Light
This Week: 62,267 (debut)
I actually really liked this band’s Bleed American album. Haven’t paid much attention since, though.
#8: Santana – Ultimate Santana
This Week: 56,475 (debut)
Santana’s kinda metal, right?
#18: Nickelback – All the Right Reasons
This Week: 32,846
Cume: 6,096,430
#22: Foo Fighters – Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
This Week: 29,669
Cume: 293,918
This record is doing well. Sure, it’s dropped a few spots each week, but the fact that it’s still #22 after 4 weeks is impressive after watching acts like Atreyu sink faster than a lead anchor after decent debuts.
#24: Thrice – The Alchemy Index, Vol. I & II
This Week: 27,811 (debut)
A good debut. Probably the biggest that Vagrant has had all year this side of Dashboard Confessional.
#35: Linkin Park – Minutes to Midnight
This Week: 20,219
Cume: 1,800,465
#37: Alter Bridge – Blackbird
This Week: 18,641
Cume: 65,660
#61: Eddie Vedder – Music for the Motion Picture Into the Wild
This Week: 12,884
Cume: 95,337
Yup, that’s right, Eddie Fuckin’ Vedder wrote a soundtrack. And it’s doing well. I’m stumped too.
#2: Puddle of Mudd – Famous
This Week: 12,726
Cume: 44,002
Famous for what, sucking Fred Durst’s cock to get a record deal?
#68: Metalocalypse: Dethklok – Dethalbum
This Week: 11936
Cume: 70231
#82: Finger Eleven – Them Vs. You Vs. Me
This Week: 9,677
Cume: 248,292
Jumped up AGAIN, this time 13 spots! This record has got to be the biggest surprise of the year. The Buckcherry of ’07 for sure.

This Week: 8,226
Cume: 931,396
