Â

Not Surprisingly, Tool went gold within the first week. Interesting to see where the album lands up being the fact is completely inaccessible for passive music buyers; could alienate some long time fans. Flyleaf (pictured)Â who has strong video rotation on MTV2 and Fuse has built momentum as it appeals to the christian market and mainstream kids. Hit makers Nickelback continues to take down everything in its path. Over-hyped Arctic Monkeys have proved to be dud thus so far; records sales dropped -19% with total sales of 186,173..we warned you on this!
