Phoenix And Rob Zombie Crack Top 10 With New Albums
New albums from Phoenix and Rob Zombie both cracked the Billboard album chart's Top 10 on Wednesday (May 1st), with Phoenix's fifth album, Bankrupt!, debuting at Number Four with 50,000 copies sold in its first week of release. That represents both a sales and chart peak for the French modern rockers. Meanwhile, Zombie's fifth solo effort, Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor, entered at Number Seven on sales of 34,000 copies.
- Zombie told us what goals he had in mind for his latest musical venture: "I wanted it to be kind of hooky -- I always want everything to be hooky, but unconventionally hooky, where maybe the first couple of times you hear it, you go, 'Oh yeah, that's a cool song.' And then the more you hear it, the more you go, 'God, I can't get that song out of my head, I can't get that song out of my head.' Whereas sometimes songs are so hooky the first time you hear 'em, that by the fifth time you hear 'em, they're almost like grating."
- Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendoris the fifth Zombie solo album to enter the Top 10.
- His previous disc, 2010's Hellbilly Deluxe 2, debuted at Number Eight on the Billboard chart, selling 49,000 copies in its first week.
- Last week's Number One debut, Fall Out Boy's Save Rock And Roll, dropped to Number Five this week with sales of 36,000 copies.
- Phoenix plays this Saturday (May 4th) at the New Orleans Jazz Festival.
- Rob Zombie will be presented on Thursday night (May 2nd) with the Golden God award at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards in Los Angeles.

4:20 Blog Hit: Company Claims To Have Made A Shirt That Won't Smell After 100 Days Of Wear
A clothing company says it's created a soft shirt that doesn't need to be ironed and won't smell after being worn for 100 days without being washed. The company is called Wool&Prince and was started a few months ago in Portland, Oregon. Creators say the shirt is made from special wool from Australian sheep, and put through a special process to make it soft, wrinkle-resistant and odor-free. The company currently has a Kickstarter campaign and is trying to raise money to place an order for the shirts with a factory. (Mashable)
