The same company that owns FYE bought what was left of the Sam Goody chain in March. (They filed bankruptcy earlier in the year.) Not sure if they report to the hits daily double website or not. I do know that 10k was the best selling album for the chain last week. Everyone seems to think that the RHCP will be the CD to beat this week, but in my store the big seller was the new Jagged Edge.

BTW, the second biggest seller in my store today was 10K. Even in its second week it still outsold Stadium Arcadium by a 4:1. I don't know if this will be indicative of sales everywhere or if my area is just inhabited by a bunch of RHCP haters!
