Chicks stay No. 1

The Dixie Chicks stayed on top last week, selling another 271,000 copies of "Taking the Long Way," to make a total of almost 800,000 sold. And even though they're having trouble selling concert tickets in a couple of markets (Houston, Memphis, OK City), that's not too surprising, considering that none of the Houston radio stations even play the Chicks anymore.

But the ladies say that reports they are canceling the tour are false, and it's interesting that none of the media reports that I read mentioned that not only did the album hit No. 1 on the Pop charts, but it also was No. 1 on the Country charts both weeks as well.
