Riddle Me This


Will the new Shins album actually chart next week? Their new album, Wincing the Night Away* is currently number one on Itunes' Top Albums list. [Right above Chris Daughtry's]Plus there has been so much hype, noise, and expectation surrounding this album; in the past two weeks you couldn't throw a rock without seeing them on SNL, reading a glowing review of the new album in many a publication, or encountering the "new slang" Braff-lash. Hell I am not even a big Shins fan and I went out and bought the album, despite the fact that Itunes was willing to let me purchase it two weeks prior to its street date. [Big ups on that mistake Itunes]So will all the fuss lead to good first week sales? Only time will tell. Hell the Dreamgirls sdtrk. did it two weeks in a row with less than 70,000 copies sold. That's gotta give one hope right?





*Four songs in and I got little to no complaints. Big Ups guys.
