Chart Madness: Biggie Retakes Number One, Arcade Fire Lands at Two

3/14/07, 2:09 pm EST

Biggie

  • On the charts, the tenth anniversary of Notorious B.I.G.’s death powered his Greatest Hits collection to a Number One debut, with 99,496 copies sold. In the battle of indie all-stars, the Arcade Fire’s Neon Bible lived up to the hype, debuting at Number Two with 92,154, while Saddle Creek superhero Bright Eyes’ Four Winds EP debuted at Number 57.
  • Check out some rare old-school Beatles footage while you enjoy the Mocha Frappuccino you’ll get with the new Paul McCartney album.
  • Speaking of McCartney, he’s nearing a settlement with ex-wife Heather Mills. This explains the whole Starbucks thing, we think.
  • Some blogger really dislikes Peter Bjorn and John. We think it’s because he can’t whistle along to “Young Folks.”
  • You’re gonna have to wait a lil’ while longer for that new Timbaland solo album.
  • Even before it sells a single copy, the new Harry Potter book will print 12X-platinum.
  • From the Ill-Fated Musical Dept: British boy band Take That! are getting the song-and-dance treatment. Hopefully, it’ll never leave U.K. shores.

So happy and excited for Arcade Fire. They deserved number 1, but hey, 2 is good too!

It’s a shame that the arcade fire got beat out of #1 by a bunch of songs that have already been released, but I’m just glad we don’t have to hear any hype crap about Bright Eyes.

The guy who started a blog to “stop” Peter, Bjorn and John is a moron…

The Arcade Fire should be #1

If Biggie was a Real Bad Ass he woulda sealed himself up in the bathroom with a couple burning charcoal grills and offed himself.

i don’t wanna hate on biggie, but arcade fire should’ve been number one. it seems like most on here share my opinion.

The day Neon Bible came out it has started raining and is yet to stop.

Also when I look in the black mirror all I see is a reflection of Biggie Smalls

Anyone else think that the Stop Peter, Bjorn, and John blog is run by someone affiliated with Peter, Bjorn, and John? If so, that would be bizarre but awesome marketing… someone should definately look into that… that made me want to see Peter, Bjorn, and John at sxsw much more…

99,000 sold in a week? Bad week for cd’s, huh. “Can’t Buy Me Love” sold 940,000 the first day. There were 100,000,000 less people in America on that day then on this day. Huh…
