Paul Westerberg's one-track album 49:00 is actually only 43 minutes and 55 seconds long, according to Amazon MP3's count, but its 49-cent price tag has helped propel it to the top of the online music store's Bestselling MP3 Albums chart. (If that top ranking holds up, next week's SoundScan numbers should provide quite the interesting snapshot of Amazon MP3's market penetration, no?) [Amazon]

Only 43:55? What an overpriced ripoff!
WORD! on the Amazon data. I think, because of the length, Billboard/SoundScan have to track it as an album, no matter how many tracks it has. (Cf. Jethro Tull's single-track Thick as a Brick going to No. 1 on the album chart in the early '70s.)
Interested to see actual Soundscan numbers -- and next week's numbers, too.
The big question is - does the album stand up?
