That video on You Tube plus all the publicity has jumped the OLC of LES MIZ to the #1 spot on the Billboard Cast Albums chart with the OBC at #4!
Top 5 are...
1. LES MISERABLES - London Cast (First Night Records)
2. WICKED (Decca Broadway)
3. JERSEY BOYS (Rhino)
4. LES MISERABLES - Broadway cast highlights (Geffen)
5. SHREK (Decca Broadway)
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Not on I-tunes. Billboard charts the retail sales of Cd's. The 25 year old OLC of LES MIZ has actually cracked the top 20 of best selling "catalogue" albums - albums over 2 years old.
Billboard is strange. Anything still sells well that is more than 2 years old gets relegated to the "Catalogue" chart. We need a chart that ranks everything.
