    "I'm not sure how the Musicology CDs given away at the shows on that tour were scanned, but I do know that they were...which was how the album got to #1."

    except it didn't get to #1, it got to #3 (bummer). but by doing a bit of research, i found that the concert cds were indeed counted, although they only totaled about 25% of the actual sales, and cds sold before the album's street date were not counted into the total (which would have gone up significantly if the had been counted, and the album would have gone to #1).

    Zing,

    Unless my age really is starting to affect my memory (among other things apparently, at least according to El Bicho), I'd swear Musicology did make it to #1...but if your research indicates otherwise, than I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

    billboard says #3. if they're wrong, so am i. the followup (and far superior album,) 3121, most certainly did make it to #1.
