Bob Dylan officially more popular than Jessica Simpson
Our long national nightmare is over:
NEW YORK (AP) - Bob Dylan is back at the top of the charts - for the first time in 30 years. His new album, “Modern Times,” reached No. 1 on the album sales chart, selling 192,000 units in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan figures released Wednesday.
The critically acclaimed disc is Dylan’s first No. 1 album since 1976’s “Desire.”
Jessica Simpson’s “A Public Affair” debuted at no. 5 with 101,000 copies sold - the highest charting of her career. It’s Simpson’s first release since her divorce from Nick Lachey.
