LES MIZ is #1 on Bilboard cast album chart

Posted: 4/23/09 at 3:28am

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

This is great. Not sure how I feel about the whole Susan Boyle thing. But, I am glad that my favorite show is number 1 on Itunes.

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.
