Jack Still On Top, Jacko Denied, Winehouse Jumps Up

(antiMusic) An interesting week on the charts. The music industries annual infomercial, aka The Grammy Awards, seem to do their trick and jumped the obscure album of the year winner from Herbie Hancock up 154 spots to land it in the Top 5. Amy Winehouse got a big bump as well, but it wasn't enough to outsell the last week's No 1 from Jack Johnson or the self proclaimed king of pop. But Jacko was denied the No 2 spot on a technicality. Here is a little on how the charts shaped up from Billboard: Johnson's "Sleep Through the Static" sold 179,545 copies in the week ended February 17, according to Nielsen SoundScan, enough to lead the field for a second week. The new 25th anniversary reissue of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" would have opened at No. 2, thanks to sales of about 166,000 copies. But as a catalog release, it was ineligible to chart on the Billboard 200. Instead, the No. 2 slot went to Winehouse's "Back to Black," which yielded five Grammys on February 10. It jumped 22 places after selling about 115,000 copies. - more on this story
