‘O Brother’ at No. 1 ... Finally

Share

After more than a year in stores and 4.4 million copies sold, the “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” soundtrack is finally No. 1 on the U.S. pop sales chart.

Despite steady sales, the traditional folk/country collection was never higher than No. 10 until it soared to No. 2 after winning an armful of Grammys last month.

“O Brother” moved to No. 1 this week after selling 159,000 copies--about 4,000 more than Brandy’s No. 2 “Full Moon” generated during its first week in stores, according to SoundScan.
