Album Sweep: November 10, 2012 - Part Two...

Hey guys, welcome back, it's time now for the second part of this week's "album sweep", where I sample the newest records making their debut on Billboard magazine's Top 200 Albums chart. You can check out the first part by clicking here, and I've linked all the album titles available to Amazon mp3.

"Debuting" at #70 is the 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of So, the classic album by Peter Gabriel form 1986. The record originally went to #2 back then, and scored three top-40 hits, with "Sledgehammer" going to #1. The deluxe package includes a couple of live discs as well as the original album...

It has the youth karaoke versions of songs like "Thriller", "Disturbia", and "Monster Mash"...
