AMERICAN CHARTWATCH.
A week ago we were celebrating the fact that three quarters of the albums in the Top 100 increased their sales in a pre-Easter sales frenzy. This week, with sales overall down about 25%, just two albums in the Top 100 register gains -- and both have British connections. Making a very sweet 111-38 leap, the soundtrack to Bridget Jones's Diary more than doubled its sales as it cashed in on becoming the number one film at the US box office, and that is good news for the many UK acts on the soundtrack, including Robbie Williams, Gabrielle, Dina Carroll, Alisha's Attic, Artful Dodger and Aaron Soul.
Meanwhile VH1 premiered a Behind The Music look at Billy Idol, propelling his new Greatest Hits album 120-74. Other than that, 95 of the Top 100 were in decline, with three new entries making up the numbers. British acts take the top two places in the Heatseekers chart for the first time to date. The chart -- which monitors up-and-coming acts who have never been in the Top 100 -- is headed by Bond, whose album Born takes pole position despite slipping 108-112 on the main album chart. It is just ahead of another classical crossover, namely tenor Russell Watson, who enters the main chart at number 116 with The Voice. The Stereophonics, first two albums failed to register Stateside despite some good reviews but ...
