Britney helps Giorgio get his best selling US download ever
Quote:
Dance icon Giorgio Moroder makes his first appearance on a Billboard album chart in nearly 38 years, as Deja Vu opens at No. 1 on Top Dance/Electronic Albums. The comeback set sold 7,000 copies in the week ending June 21, according to Nielsen Music.
Deja Vu also enters at No. 72 on the Billboard 200, marking Moroder's first appearance on the list since From Here to Eternity peaked at No. 130 in 1977. (Top Dance/Electronic Albums premiered in 2001).
The two-time Academy Award winner and four-time Grammy winner also lands two tracks on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs: the title track, featuring Sia, re-enters at No. 37 (as it surges 26-14 on Dance Club Songs), while "Tom's Diner," his Suzanne Vega remake featuring Britney Spears, debuts at No. 38. The Vega original hit No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 13 on Dance Club Songs in late 1990. Moroder's version instantly becomes his best-selling digital track, piercing Dance/Electronic Digital Songs at No. 14 (7,000 downloads sold).
