Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 I love to call Ken out... :: (Posted:07/21/04 From Entertainment Weekly by Gary Susman) Jimmy Buffett scores his first-ever No. 1. BIG CHEESE Buffett has his first No. 1 Right now, Jimmy Buffett must be in paradise, eating a cheeseburger. The famously laid-back singer has just scored the first No. 1 album of his three-decade career. Parrotheads snapped up 234,000 copies of his country-flavored ''License to Chill,'' according to SoundScan. That was enough to dethrone G-Unit rapper Lloyd Banks, who fell to No. 3 after two weeks in the top spot on the Billboard chart and sold another 111,000 copies of ''The Hunger for More.'' It was also enough to withstand a challenge from the Roots, who entered the chart at No. 4 with ''The Tipping Point,'' on sales of 109,000. Holding in second place for the sixth week was Usher's ''Confessions,'' which shifted another 125,000 units. Sliding two slots to fifth place was Gretchen Wilson's ''Here for the Party'' (89,000 sold). The other new top 10 entry was the soundtrack to Hilary Duff's ''A Cinderella Story,'' which sold 73,000 copies to enter the chart at No. 9. Prince, who is selling a CD of ''Musicology'' with each concert ticket, sold 74,000 discs this week and took a giant leap back into the top 10, from No. 64 to No. 8. Rounding out the top 10 were Avril Lavigne's ''Under My Skin'' (down one spot to No. 6), Big & Rich's ''Horse of a Different Color'' (slipping one notch to No. 7), and the self-titled release by Los Lonely Boys, which held at No. 10.

TheCyberdemon Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I've personally sold about 20 copies of this cd, and had to re-order a couple of shipments a few times. I still hate Jimmy Buffett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Cyb, whuffo you hate Jimmy? I am willing to bet it's because A)- You haven't had the chance to hear his music, or - at your current stage of the game, it has no appeal to you. But dig on this, little brother. It's inevitable. Someday is a comin' when you are gonna be loaded up nice and neat with the minivan payment, the cable bill, the gas bill, a flushed GI Joe, Legos in your heat-registers, a wheezing transmission, an arsehole boss, and it'll hit you like an epiphany. "JIMMY, is GOD". Singing happy songs about getting jacked on a beach while the world slides by. Until this time comes to pass, enjoy what you've got. Keep a stock of Jimmy in supply for yourself, you gonna need it.... Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Woo. I have always been a Buffet fan. I guess I don't know that much of his stuff, but I guess all of his popular songs. Cool to hear he made number one. Ironically I haven't heard this "License to chill" album. I guess I will have to go out and buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCyberdemon Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I would NEVER go so far as to compare him to god. But I know what your saying. I work in a record store, so I have heard his stuff plenty of times. So I'll go with B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
