not much new this week
have to make way for the Christmas album surge
thought AC/DC would come in at #1 but Taylor holds on to that
even Pentatonix beats them with a holiday entry

but how about that highest entry of a non-new album with DSOTM making it 889 weeks on the chart

[CRAZY-HORSE]

yeh...i was surprised to see AC/DC only come in at #3 on the UK charts also...they made a liar out of me, i'd have laid money on #1 in UK,US and here, good job im not a gamblin man i guess!

[Big Ears]

I could be wrong, but wasn't Black Ice the only album to go straight to number one? I would guess AC/DC currently have competition from the boy bands.
