Re: Amazon.com (more)

They have links to the highest number sales ranks on their home page, and 
I'm sure that pushes up the numbers.  It's a form of promotion:  Hey, these 
must all be great; everybody's buying them!
But I'd expect Springsteen to be hot right now, and also U2, both on the 
list.  Also they've got Dido up there, and I think that's the number one 
music video from last week or something.
