The original Broadway cast recording of Xanadu has re-entered the Billboard Top Cast Album chart at No. 3, behind steady toppers Wicked and Jersey Boys.

The PS Classics Xanadu CD had debuted on the Dec. 20, 2007 chart (at No. 10), solely from pre-sales on the company's website and in the Helen Hayes Theatre lobby. The album — featuring Kerry Butler, Cheyenne Jackson, Tony Roberts, Mary Testa, Jackie Hoffman, Curtis Holbrook, Anika Larsen, Kenita Miller and Andre Ward — officially hit stores Jan. 8.

Well...word-of-mouth on this one is going pretty good, at least on my end. I know 3 people who don't care for Broadway but went loopy when they heard it in my car and went out and bought it.

I have it permanently in the cd player in my main car and its also on my iPhone, so the cast recording is ALWAYS with me.

LOVE. IT!

My little cousin LOVES it. She's 10 and she knows all the words to "I'm Alive:. It's adorable. Of course, I love it too!

I wonder if it had no prior-to-rlelase internet sales if it would have come in at no. 1.

Well, not to burst your bubble, but it really isn't all that difficult to chart on the Cast Recording chart. I mean four CRs have stayed toward the top for the full 107 weeks since the charts inception.

Good for them for selling well, but charting on this chart isn't exactly a monumental achievement.

LOVE this OBCR.....alson on my IPhone, we almost fight to see whose car the cd stays in!

Decca should have recorded Xanadu. I adore PS Classics, but Decca has better and bigger distribution.

And CZECH REVIEW of "XANADU" cast recording on my musical website will be released this week !! Do you want to translate it to English??
