Categories: Charts

I was gonna use a pic of Pearl Jam, but decided on a picture of Seattle's own Shanghai Pearl, instead.
Right now I'm listening to Bob Dylan's "Honest With Me," from Love & Theft. Best line ever: "My woman got a face like a teddy bear." The rest of the city's listening to Pearl Jam, The xx, and Them Crooked Vultures. And, like the rest of the country (Billboard #s after the jump), we can't get enough Susan Boyle or Lady Gaga, either.

Here's what Seattleites picked up at Easy Street Records locations last week:

1. The xx, XX
2. Phoenix, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
3. Blakroc, self-titled
4. Them Crooked Vultures, self-titled
5. Various Artists, Give Seattle 2009
6. Tom Waits, Glitter & Doom Live
7. Various Artists, Live at KEXP, Vol. 5
8. Pearl Jam, Backspacer
9. Susan Boyle, I Dreamed a Dream
10. Lady Gaga, Fame Monster

The rest of the country, via Billboard:

1. Susan Boyle, I Dreamed a Dream
2. Lady Gaga, The Fame
3. Alicia Keys, Elements of Freedom
4. Mary J. Blige, Stronger With Each Tear
5. Taylor Swift, Fearless. "I'd like to thank Kanye West for helping me to sell an extra 500,000 units."
6. Justin Bieber, My World EP
7. Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakquel, Soundtrack
8. The Black Eyed Peas, The E.N.D.
9. Lady Gaga, The Fame Monster EP
10. Owl City, Ocean Eyes
