That's correct - he's had some Hot 100 top 10s, but not country. Until now.

I saw them, but didn't write them down. And I can't find them on the web anywhere. I'm working on it though.

However, just this past week, the RIAA did create gold and platinum awards for digital downloads to be instituted later this year. So they are counting something. If I'm not mistaken, they count as single sales. That's why some artists are relunctant to sell via digital services. Those, like Dave M...

They don't count Itunes and Napster sales? That's not good (or accurate), as lots of people are getting their music useing that method these days. :-? That's the RIAA for you folks. They don't want you using Kazaa or Limewire. And when you move to iTunes, et al, they still aren't happy. They would ...

This is interesting because, according to SoundScan, Lloyd Banks is sitting atop the Billboard 200 with sales of 164,000 this week. That's 62% less sales than it enjoyed during its first week at the top last week, but that's still more than 150,000. However, if the pre-release frenzy was any indicat...

This confirms what I figured - my favorite is Scarlet Begonias. Here is the play count from my iPod since adding the album on Friday afternoon. HGL and LTC have higher play counts because they were added well before - HGL on 5/13 and LTC sometime in March. http://idisk.mac.com/scartmill/Public/playc...

Can't really say. There were always Buffett albums around when I was little. I distinctly remember A1A and White Sport Coat in my dad's collection. The first one I bought on CD that my parents didn't buy on album was Feeding Frenzy. I also made a couple of mix tapes from the LPs in the 80s. Although...
