Number One With a Bullet

Billboard recently released their annual lists of the top-selling albums of 2007, including those for cast albums and soundtracks.

Regarding the latter, if it weren't for Dreamgirlsand Hairsprayyou would think that you stumbled onto the Kid's Music charts. Actually, make that the Disney Music chart, as seven albums from the House of Mouse dominate the top ten, including such Disney Channel favorites as Hannah Montanaand High School Musical(which together claimed the top four slots) and Cars. And the story isn't much different over on the soundtrack singles chart, where six songs from Disney-owned properties placed in the top ten, including ABC's Grey's Anatomy,which claimed the top spot.

As for cast albums, Wickedcontinued its reign over that chart, with other favorites such as Legally Blondeand Hairspray (again) making appearances. However, Disney even took a hold of a couple places here, with The Lion Kingand Mary Poppins. Added all together, that means Disney music made up exactly half of these three charts. And who says that kids today have bad taste in music?
