Walk Like a Man! Frankie Valli is Number 1 on Amazon, with “Jersey Boys” Close Behind

Share

Want to know the difference between people who buy CDs on Amazon and who download them from iTunes? It’s easy. The number 1 album on Amazon this morning is “The Very Best of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.” And right behind, at number 4, is the soundtrack to “Jersey Boys.”

Over at iTunes, Frankie’s hits are number 15– which isn’t bad at all. And “Jersey Boys” is number 48.

Amazon is older and wiser. iTunes, well, they’re those young whippersnappers.

Either way, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons may not be a draw at the movie box office– “Jersey Boys” made a very meager $13.5 million this weekend and finished in 4th place. But the music lives on. Frankie, who reportedly doesn’t care for the movie very much, must be getting a kick out of this. He should thank Clint Eastwood for putting him back on top of the charts!
