Macca Roars Bacca
Paul McCartney’s DVD video “Back in the U.S.” (Capitol Video) has set records for highest single-week sales and highest debut sales of a music DVD. The title, which chronicles McCartney’s 2002 Driving U.S.A. tour, sold 61,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, to bow at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Music Videos chart. A companion McCartney CD sold 224,000 copies and debuts this week at No. 8 on The Billboard 200.
Before the McCartney project, the best week for a music DVD was by Dave Matthews Band’s “Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, Colorado” (BMG Video), which sold more than 31,000 units upon its debut last month.
