On the Charts: Dave Matthews Rules the ‘World’
Dave Matthews Band. And rock albums in general. The hippie hero’s Away from the World LP debuts at Number One with 266,000 copies sold; next on the album chart is Little Big Town’s Tornado (technically a country band, although I think they sound like Fleetwood Mac so I’m including them here), with 113,000; Bob Dylan’s Tempest, with 110,000; the Avett Brothers’ The Carpenter, with 98,000; the xx’s Coexist, with 73,000; and ZZ Top’s La Futura, with 31,000. Will any of these fine albums linger in the Top 10? If recent trends are any indication, the answer’s clearly no. Number Ones outside of Adele’s 21 have dropped consistently in subsequent weeks over the past several months, and rock albums in particular have had a disturbing habit of plummeting. Can DMB muster their considerable ground forces to break this trend? Maybe, but I doubt Dave cares. The money’s in concerts, and albums aren’t worth the super-promotion. READ MORE
