With a Bullet: Today's Charts
- Posted on Oct 31st 2007 1:00PM by Gaylord Fields
Record-industry slump? Carrie Underwood laughs at such a ridiculous notion! Hahahahahaha, you could hear this Okie from (really close to) Muskogee chortle, all big-voiced and on key! Underwood, just two years off her trouncing of the competition on 'American Idol,' has proved to be one of the most successful of the overstyled oversingers to win the show's top prize. Her second album of country-style croonings, packaged in her twangtastic album 'Carnival Ride,' not only debuted at the top of the album charts, it went gold in the process. Jesus has not just taken the wheel, He's put the pedal to the metal, with this gal riding shotgun!- The unlikely pairing of Led Zeppelin golden god Robert Plant with bluegrass warbler and fiddler Alison Krauss has placed at an equally unlikely No. 2 the debut of their vocal-harmony-drenched album, 'Raising Sand.' Shouldn't Plant really be resting his pipes for the big Zep reunion? Bad Alison! Bad, bad Alison!
- Serj Tankian's release of his first solo album, the expectedly polemical 'Elect the Dead,' resulted in a robust No. 4 showing in its first week. With the System of a Down frontman's burgeoning solo success, we're guessing there are three Armenian-American musicians in L.A. right now putting off making any big purchases for the time being.
- Neil Young's 'Chrome Dreams II' (yes, leave it to rock's greatest contrarian to release a sequel to an album he never bothered to put out in the first place) debuted at No. 11, selling 54,000 copies -- which, natch, is 54,000 more than the original ever sold.
- 'Carnival Ride,' Carrie Underwood (528,000 in 1st week)
- 'Raising Sand,' Robert Plant & Alison Krauss (113,000 in 1st week)
- 'Living Hard,' Gary Allan (69,000 in 1st week)
- 'Elect the Dead,' Serj Tankian (66,000 in 1st week)
- 'Noel,' Josh Groban (65,000 in 3rd week; 192,000 total)
