The CHART!
It's a pretty close battle at the top of the chart this week. She & Him emerge victorious but the top 5 titles are separated by quantities of one or two so it could've gone a number of ways. I'll say this: if Patty Griffin's album had been out on vinyl same week as CD, she would've been number one. Here are the best selling titles this past week at Grimey's.
