WEEK IN PREVIEW
Shaggy Shags Post-Holiday Glee
As the smoke clears around yet another mega-monster, boffo holiday sales season, bleary-eyed music weasels are now surveying who's survived, who's thrived and who's going to carry that holiday glee well into the first quarter.
A quick gander at our building sales chart (hit the "sales" icon, you cyber-clod) reveals that MCA's Shaggy is leading the post-holiday pack convincingly. The Shag-man's packing two smash singles (including the current #1), which kinda suggests he'll be hanging around the Top Five for a while.
