The problem can almost entirely be blamed on one company - Clear Channel. This is why consolidation in the music industry (as well as other industries) is a horrible thing! From the article: Donald Law, chairman and co-CEO of Clear Channel Entertainment's music division, which owns or operates 135 v...

The Schott is one of my favorite venues to see Jimmy.

But I'm probably in the minority. I think he sounded great. The vibe was cool. Security was chill for the most part. The parking lot was fantastic.

I've seen Buffett at several venues - inside and out. I prefer the indoor shows.

They did have a pale yellow with palm shirt at alpine. BTW Am I the only one who was dissapointed with the Tshirt selection this year? I was NOT impressed with the graphics - (I got the parrot on white) I noticed that there was a different signature - and they are definitely NOT CS quality images. ...

Good lord. Someone had some time on their hands this evening. That would have taken me an hour just to type, let alone think up ratings for each one.

They probably did it on purpose. You know, the whole sensationalistic journalism thing. "If it bleeds, it leads." And since Jimmy wasn't bleeding on his way to the top of the charts, let's shoot him (to the top, of course).

I have the Fruitcakes 2 track promo. What's the edit like on the Far Side Of The World promo? Is it a good edit? I'm curious to hear it. The Southern Cross promo and Island Fever promo - WHERE did you find those? Dammit! I haven't listened to the edit of FSOTW in a long time. But it is pretty good....

I like Caribbean amphibian with Kermit the frog. I love this tune! And the accompanying video is pretty funny, too. Its fun to watch Buffett interact with "characters" - as if he doesn't do enough of that on any given Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday (or whatever is schedule is now). Ahhh, B...

There's a 2-CD compilation of Buffett rarities bootleg floating around. Its called Odds & Ends Vol. 1 & Vol. 2.

If you are interested, I have scans of the art on my web site. Click on the Buffet link, then the boots & promos link.

One of the Margaritaville stores is selling an automobile version of a "license to chill." Can't remember which one though...

In the wake of Buffett's first number 1 album, "Hey Good Lookin'" continues its steady climb on the singles chart. This week the tune moves from 9-7 on the Radio & Records country chart. HGL holds steady at #8 on the All About Country Hot 40 Chart. http://radioandrecords.com/Formats/Ch...

According to the bio accompanying the press kit for LTC, he's recorded 39 albums (studio & compilations).

Mailboat Records and Billboard are both confirming this. License To Chill will debut at number one with more than 230,000 copies moved in the first week.

Wow! Congratulations Jimmy.

iTunes is the way to go.

No I've never done that. But wow, what possibilities.

Fruitcake In A White Sport Coat.

Far Side Of The Harbour.

Bananacano.

No, but I saw Eric Clapton and the lead singer of BNL (Steven Page) at the mall on the same day.

Soundscan sells their information to subscribers for a hefty fee, so they tend not to post the data publically.

I'm not even sure hefty describes the "fee" - nay, bounty, they collect.

By the way, LTC did 60,000+ the first day. Right now, its far and away the leader from last Tuesday's releases - more than double The Roots. It should coast to the highest debut and right now looks as if it will debut at #1. The record is outpacing everything, even last week's #1 album. This is from...

So, where do you look? Does SoundScan have a website that shows the details? Billboard.com is generally the first - 11 a.m. EST on Wednesday for albums, same time on Thursday for singles. MTV.com also posts the figures from time to time. Reuters and the AP do as well. To my knowledge, SoundScan doe...

You are a bit early...sales figures for the July 13 release week won't be available to the public until Wednesday, July 21.

According to SoundScan, License To Chill was #1 on the first day of sales.
