Apart from The Game and Slipknot, it was a quiet week on the chart.
Despite her embarrassing diva-like outburst on Las Vegas TV last week, Solange sill managed to rally up around 30,000 fans for a top 20 debut.
Jimmy Wayne’s ‘Do You Believe Me Now’ and Dragonforce ‘Ultra Beltdown’ will register near the 20 mark.
The Verve had a very mediocre entry at 26 with ‘Forth’ and Lost Trailers ‘Holler Back’ hit at 29.
It was good to see blues legend B.B. King win over a few fans with his brilliant new album ‘One Kind Favor’. He was granted 10,000 kind favors with fans ensuring he will have a well-deserved top 40 debut.
