This is not your everyday Billboard chart. Each week, we'll tell you which bands are selling in the fine record shops in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, where we consumers of music have impeccable taste.
Yo la Tengo and Tame Impala are still doing well this week; however, new to the mix and top selling at Good Records and CD source is Denton's Toro y Moi. Lance Price, CD Source owner, says this is his best-selling record to date in the store.
A few unexpected albums reached the top at CD Source. "I was surprised by the Helloween reissue, because we previously didn't have that much of a demand for their titles," says Price. "I was also surprised at the longevity of the Skrillex title since it's been out for almost two years."
Mark Church, sales associate at Good Records, was happy to see a classic endure. "John Coltrane on the list for the second time," Church says. "Good taste in music still exists!"
"I'm glad to see Aaron Neville's release doing so well," Price says. "His music and voice are timeless."
