‘Moon’ Lands Buffett on the Charts

The Backstreet Boys’ record-setting sales week may signal the dominance of youth in the music marketplace, but there’s a whimper of protest from the older generation in the latest figures: Jimmy Buffett’s 31st album entered the chart at No. 10 in Southern California and No. 8 nationally. On the singles chart, Ricky Martin was unseated from the top spot by the first release from the new Jennifer Lopez album.
