There’s a new number one album on the college radio charts as Tom Waits’ raucous “Glitter And Doom Live” has climbed two spots to capture the top position. It’s not exactly a new phenomenon for Mister Waits. In the last decade, all but one of his six releases have topped the campus charts giving him a record five number one albums. It started with his Grammy Award-winning “Mule Variations” which held the the top position for seven straight weeks in 1999. Waits’ other top albums include “Blood Money,” “Real Gone” and the triple-album release, “Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards,” which remained at number one for three weeks.

That’s great to hear… but something that would be even better to hear is how his next studio album is coming along.

Well, if you started couting like I did, that means that “Alice” didn’t make the cut, which I find rather curious, because it is easily on of the best.

The reason is because “Alice” and “Blood Money” were released at the same time. Both charted very well, but not to number one.
