And the big winner of debut week is...

Foo Fighters. Coldplay and White Stripes got about a 3 day head start, yet it's already only 200 behind White Stripes and 250 behind Coldplay.

But, technically, all three groups shoud be extremely happy. Heck, by final update, we could be looking at 3 +1000 bullets.

Foo Fighters have the strongest daily net increase out of these three singles.

I'm not suprised at all Foo Fighters have just stormed onto the chart here. They are one of the few remaining "staple artists" to Alternative, one of few bands which have consistently made strong showings within the last decade.

I find Coldplay's debut to actually be the most impressive. I knew because there is so much hype behind "X&Y" after "A Rush of Blood to the Head" claimed global domination that "Speed of Sound" would also have a huge debut, but I wasn't sure if they'd go four-digits in gains or not. Coldplay can very well go Top 5 in two weeks.

And the White Stripes, they're the "cool factor" band, so this will continue its way to the Top 3. I think it'll go #1, but the real question is, will the Foo Fighters get there first and force them to wait?

Sincerely,
Noah Eaton
