Area 51: Tidbits from SoundScan's lower reaches
While Paul McCartney was able to keep his second week dip to under 34%, Marilyn Manson's "Eat Me Drink Me" dropped a precarious 65%, selling 31,000 copies and landing at No. 30. Chris Cornell's "Carry On" took a hefty spill (56%), dropping to No. 44 from No. 17, Nielsen SoundScan reported.
Some Tony Awards watchers proceeded straight to the record stores. The cast album for "Spring Awakening," the Tony winner with music by Duncan Sheik and Steven Slater, sold 9,000 copies to head into the charts at No. 96. The Decca release's cume is 63,000.
Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" enjoyed a 10% sales bump to stay at No. 10. Other top 50 acts enjoying minor sales bumps were Michael Buble, Carrie Underwood, Fergie, Taylor Swift, Nickelback, Tim McGraw, John Mayer.
