"R.E.M. scores its highest sales and charting week in nearly 12 years with the Warner Bros. set "Accelerate," which debuts at No. 2 with 115,000.... Last week's chart-topper, Day26's self-titled Bad Boy effort, falls a whopping 73%." In today's rap legal brief, Rapper Plies has been named in a lawsuit alleging negligence on his part, stemming from a 2006 shooting at a Gainesville, Fla., nightclub." - Get all the details here.
