The last I posted these lists, Gorillaz' Demon Days was on three of the lists but it has now fallen off two of them. Meanwhile, Coldplay's X & Y has held onto Buch Spieler's and Pure Pop's list while climbing onto Vermont Book Shop's list.

It's nice to see Dungen's Ta Det Lungt sit in the #2 slot at Pure Pop. Are UVM students back on campus yet?

It's also interesting to see local artist Grace Potter and the Nocturnals make the lists for Pure Pop and Buch Spieler. Last time they have been on Vermont Book Store's list. So, it appears that they are having some success in this market.
