BEN FOLDS DOES THE DOUBLE: Acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Ben Folds bows with a bang on both Mediaguide Alternative Specialty charts, debuting at No.1 on the Album index with Way to Normal (Epic) and repeating the feat on the Song side with "You Don't Know Me." The latter features the talents of Regina Spektor, who contributes some lovely, lilting vocal lines. The album doesn't hit retail until September 30, but Ben will be starting a tour in support of the release on September 6 in Washington, DC; for full dates, go to www.benfolds.com. Cold War Kids remain at No.2 on the Song chart for the second straight week with "Something Is Not Right with Me," helping full-length Loyalty to Loyalty (Downtown) surge 5-2 on the Album end. Another longtime Alt favorite also enjoys a Top 5 bow on the Song side: Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders return with their first studio album in six years next month, with initial single "Boots of Chinese Plastic" perhaps taking advantage of Olympic fervor to debut at No.5 on the Song side, aiding forthcoming album Break Up the Concrete (Shangri-La, out September 23) to a No.12 showing on the Album chart. Finally, who says kids today have no sense of history? The Specialty panel disproved that theorem this week as the "Rhinestone Cowboy" himself, the one and only Glen Campbell, debuted at No.5 on the Album index with the appropriately titled Meet Glen Campbell (Capitol), which features the timeless "Wichita Lineman" offering his take on songs by the likes of Foo Fighters, Green Day and John Lennon, among others. The album hits retail August 19 and the legendary Campbell will be celebrating with a rare live performance at the Troubadour in Los Angeles that night. Good luck getting tickets, though--it's been sold-out for weeks.
