Lindulan writes: LOTR jumped up to #29 on the current album chart this week (despite a decline in sales – typical for the post-holiday period). It was #2 in Internet sales and #2 on the soundtrack chart. BTW, the #1 soundtrack is “O Brother Where Art Thou”, which was recently certified 4x platinum and is up for several Grammy awards. It’s been #1 almost every week for the past year!
