New Releases
YOUR NEW RELEASES: The race has narrowed to two. Jason Mraz and “Weird Al” Yankovic are locked in a head-to-head battle for the top spot on next week's album chart—one armed with an axe and the other with an accordion. Neither artist has previously had a #1 album, but only one has worn a fat suit in a video. Here are this week's key debuts:
Jason Mraz (Atlantic) 70-75k
“Weird Al” Yankovic (RCA) 70-75k
Rise Against (DGC) 50-55k
Kidz Bop Kids (Razor & Tie) 45-50k
Bleachers (RCA) 17-19k
Marsha Ambrosius (RCA) 14-16k
Morrissey (Harvest) 13-15k
On a personal note, those of us in the editorial sector owe “Weird Al” a debt for his grammatically ardent spoof of “Blurred Lines,” seen above. “Word Crimes” is already casting a spell online, having earned more than (not “over”) 2.4 million views. Al's releasing a new vid every day for eight days; you can see his "Royals" parody, "Foil," here. #nerds (7/16a)
