Asking The Anonymous HMV Manager

I have a contact at HMV, the popular music and video store.  My contact wishes to remain anonymous, but I can tell you that's he's a manager of a Toronto HMV.  Periodically I'm going to ask questions of The Anonymous HMV Manager and I'll post his answers here.

I asked The Anonymous HMV Manager to list the top selling CDs in his store thus far in 2005.  He ran a report and promptly replied with the top twenty.  Here they are.

1. Coldplay  - X&Y
2. Michael Buble  - It's Time
3. Il Divo - Il Divo
4. The Killers - Hot Fuss
5. Green Day - American Idiot
6. Ray Charles - Genius Loves Company
7. Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams
8. Gwen Stefani - Love Angel
9. Keane - Hopes & Fears
10. Usher - Confessions
11. Garden State - OST
12. 50 Cent - Massacre
13. U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
14. Black Eyed Peas - Monkey Business
15. Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway
16. Alicia Keys - Diary
17. Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane
18. Bruce Springsteen - Devil's And Dust
19. K-os - Joyful Rebellion
20. Ray Charles - Very Best

I hadn't even heard of the band holding down the third spot.
