Buffett’s new album “Take The Weather With You” debuts at #4 in its first week on the Billboard 200 chart with 120,592 copies (about half of what License to Chill sold its first week). It was enough to put him #1 though on the Top Country Albums chart.

Beating out Buffett on the Billboard 200 was Rod Stewart, Evanescence, and Lloyd Banks (1,2,3 respectively).

Update – Billboard has an article on the week’s top sellers: “Rod Rocks Back With Fourth No. 1 Album”.

From Radio Margaritaville:

Start time for Thursday’s Santa Barbara concert is 7:00pm Pacific. Therefore the preshow on Radio Margaritaville/SIRIUS is 9:30pm Eastern/6:30 Pacific. This is good news for those expecting to stay up late on the East Coast.

Miles Hampton will be hosting the pre-show for the concert, as Savannah Buffett has previous commitments.

BuffettWorld asks Coral Reefer Band member and ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro twenty questions.

He discusses when he first began playing the ukulele, how he joined up with Jimmy Buffett, and much more.

Jimmy made Entertainment Weekly’s Hit List this week with a mention of his “drug bust” in France. It can be found on page 16. A non-review of the album appears on page 82.
