On the Charts: Carrie Underwood Rules Debuts, “American Idol” Kingdom

The Big News: Carrie Underwood continued her quest to become the most successful American Idol ever, as her new album Carnival Ride cruised to the top of the Billboard charts with 527,101 copies sold in its debut week. By comparison, Kelly Clarkson, Underwood’s closest AI competitor, sold 291,000 copies when My December debuted in June. Underwood dominated her fresh competition, selling 400,000-plus more copies than the number two, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ Raising Sand. Country’s Gary Allan took the third spot, while System of a Down’s Serj Tankian’s first solo album Elect the Dead scored fourth with 65,998 copies. Debuts: Prog-revivalists Coheed & Cambria’s No World For Tomorrow entered the chart at number six with 61,849 units shifted while Neil Young’s Chrome Dreams II grabbed the eleven hole and Say Anything’s double-disc In Defense Of the Genre debuted at twenty-seven with 24,750. Further down the chart, Ryan Adams’ new EP Follow The Lights came in at forty, while Ween’s La Cucharacha came in at a fitting (for the band in question) sixty-nine. RS Breaking Artist Hurricane Chris hit the chart at twenty-four. Last Week’s Heroes: Defending champion Bruce Springsteen’s Magic tumbled on down to twelve, thanks to a thirty-four percent sales drop. Last week’s runner-up, Kid Rock’s Rock N Roll Jesus, stayed in the top ten by grasping on to seven. The remainder of the chart, sans debuts, stayed relatively the same, but we expect changes by this time next week, when Britney Spears’ Blackout and the new Backstreet Boys album should factor into the equation.

Coheed and Cambria’s Fourth Album to Be as Nonsensical as First Three

From the group that brought you the tongue-twisting album titles In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 and Good Apollo I’m Burning Star IV, Vol. 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness: Coheed and Cambria, those prog-emo masters of overblown science fiction imagery, re-enter the studio in Los Angeles this week to start work on their fourth record. The disc, tentatively titled No World for Tomorrow (but likely something far longer and more confusing), is set for a fall release. It’s also supposed to be the last in the ongoing saga that has spanned the band’s last three albums. In case you forgot the previous installments of the C&C mythos, or are just joining the band now, we’ve provided this helpful guide to understanding the band’s major themes. Claudio – Both the name of follicularly blessed lead singer Claudio Sanchez and the muscular bad-ass protagonist hero of the series. This is a common example of wish fulfillment, a major theme in Coheed and Cambria’s lyrics. KBI — The Knowledge, the Beast and the Inferno. It is quite possible the acronym was made up first and then the band figured out what words could fit into it. Readers with extensive training in interpreting Rush lyrics may have the edge in this area — Orson Scott Card reading a plus. Supreme Tri-Mage Wilhelm Ryan — Villainous super-clone of World War I leader Kaiser Wilhelm II — now with superpowers and, apparently, no longer just a Kaiser. Mayo Deftinwolf — The other bad guy. This one leads the Red Army. Also a superclone…of Vladimir Lenin. Harbors a serious mayonnaise addiction. Apparently in a previous plotline, he installed a virus inside of Claudio. (Nerd bonus: Some C&C scholars think Claudio’s virus is an STD!) The Coheed Logo – As explained by Claudio: “Heavens fence is 78 planets aligned in triangular form and they are divided into 12 sectors and are bound together by a beam of light called the Keywork. The Keyw
