(antiMusic) A few quickies from the fine folks over at Billboard. First a U2 update: Bono, The Edge and those other guys have returned to the studio to work on their new studio album, which they hope to have out by the end of the year. Billboard says the band plans to hit the road next year to support the effort.

We have another story today about George Strait topping the charts, but what else happened in CD sales last week? "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.
