    BTW, I hope he stays on there like BHD (52 weeks) and that will help sales.

    You know, I the WOWAY forum last night it said SOL debuted at #9. I wonder why it’s different now. But anyway I’m still pretty happy!

  6. Nick S. Says:

    Wow, I’m glad to hear that! Looks like Al can finally buy another solid gold humvee! Congrats, Al!

  7. Richard Latanville Says:

    Or he can get the diamond studded swimming pool. Thats good! The record store is where we belong.

  8. Super Al fan Says:

    Wow! Congratulations Al!

  9. joshua Says:

    Is there anyway his album can be #1????

  10. Stephen S. Says:

    He’ll buy both another solid gold Humvee AND a diamond-studded swimming pool.
    Al, May I please come over to your house? :)

  11. Patti Says:

    Seth, the reason why the numbers are different is because the #9 position is according to Hits Daily Double magazine. I thnk they use slightly different charting methods than Billboard. At any rate, a #10 spot on the Billboard charts is still cause for celebration! Al has finally cracked the top 10!

  12. Jeff Says:

    I’m just bad that I’m getting a bad batch of cds. I’m already on my 3rd SOL cd. It’s bad too. If the audio side isn’t skipping, the dvd side is pausing. How frustrating. I don’t think I like thie dual disc thing.

  13. m0tt Says:

    anyone catch the blurb in this months Rolling Stone about AL?

  14. joshua Says:

    yo jeff!!!!

    where did you get your cd???

    if you got it a kmart or target, it does not suprise me that it is a bad cd….go get one at best buy!!!!

  15. Sarah Says:

    The warning says it doesn’t work perfectly with all players.

  16. ABN Says:

  17. Ryan Says:
