Sorry about that. But without naming any names, I was personally informed by a reputable source that the band's sales were a cause for concern at the beginning of the week. Then a cause for delight once the CD-plus-download figures started to come in.Maybe your insiders should have talked to my insiders? ;-) Also, Katy Perry's sales figures would have been counted in the Thursday and Friday midweek charts, giving chart-watchers like me a clue as to how well she is doing, but there was a technical problem getting them included until Sunday. So, all in all...it was still quite a fun week, and nice to have a bit of tension in the chart rundown. If you can somehow make all that into a slap in the face for the Script AND Katy Perry, good luck to you.
