BILLBOARD

A bit of a surprise to me is that Avril lands at number 1. I really thought here 15 minutes were over. We'll see if it can sustain a top position over the next several weeks.

Another interesting bit is that Prince is including a cd with every concert ticket purchased. I'm not sure if this is a way to skew his numbers or not, but as a result he saw sales of 71,000 this past week due to a couple of large shows in California. For some reason I wouldn't doubt if KISS tried to do this in the future. It could almost certainly guarantee them another gold record.
