It is a very slow week of post-holiday album sales. The major action on the chart is by Johnny Cash and James Blunt. Cash climbs into the top 5 on the heels of major Golden Globe award wins by Walk the Line, the film about his life. James Blunt climbs into the top 10 for the first time after nearly 4 months on the chart with his album Back to Bedlam.
