Blink-182 Is Sales Story As D-12 Gets
Ready To Street
George W. is causing panic in Europe, which is railing against the myopic and arrogant "consumption-driven" policies of our Republican leadership. Indeed, confusion and resentment abound as the world rejects the premise of a single superpower whose interests remain firmly within its own insular borders. Basically, when it comes to global relations, the U.S. is in deep shit.

Cool. Let’s go buy some blink-182 records. Everyone else is.

That’s right, kiddies, those nutty, wacky, coo-coo, multi-pierced love muffins are back, with critics hailing their sophomoric, feel-good odes to adolescent yearning, "Take Off Your Pants And Jacket" (MCA), as "intelligent." Whether you buy the intelligence tag or not, there’s no question people are buying the record. It will debut at #1 on this week’s Top 50 Albums chart, with sales looking like they’ll hit north of 400k.

Hey, screw the Europeans.

Over in Top 40 land, Interscope’s Smash mouth is scoring big with "I’m A Believer" from DreamWorks’ "Shrek" soundtrack. Also, expect Top 40 love for Columbia’s Jagged Edge (the track features Nelly), Virgin’s Mariah Carey, RCA’s Tyrese and WB’s Jelleestone. Is Helsinki in Sweden? Just asking.

Our Euro-loathing Jamz editors are looking for a big week for Motown’s India.Arie, while our Rap guys think Rufflife’s Outsidaz featuring Redman and Method Man will also be huge. They also think Estonia is a skin condition.

Our Post Modern experts were a bit confused this week, daring to embrace the SCOTTISH band Travis. Despite such un-American activity, they believe Maverick’s Insolence will have a banner week at the format.
