Tuesday December 3, 11:10 am ET
Men Still Like to Rock; Women Like Eminem; Dave Matthews Big Among 20-29 Group; Elton John, McCartney, Elvis and Tom Petty Score With 40-49 Crowd
Creed Tops Wish Lists In Northeast; Santana Ranks #1 In Midwest; Dixie Chicks Rule in South; U2 Wins in the West
NEW YORK, Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- VH1 has made its list and checked it twice for the top CDs that people want most this holiday season. And the results feature artists both naughty and nice.
VH1 commissioned a telephone poll this month of a random national sample of 1,015 20-49 year-olds who listen to pre-recorded music to find out which artists topped people's wish lists.
The Top 10 CDs People Most Want This Holiday Season are:
1. Santana - "Shaman"
2. U2 - "Best of 1990-2000"
3. Creed - "Weathered"
4. Rolling Stones - "Forty Licks"
5. Elton John - "Greatest Hits 1970-2002"
6. Dixie Chicks - "Home"
7. Elvis Presley - "30 Number 1 Hits"
8. Movie Soundtrack - "8 Mile"
9. Toby Keith - "Unleashed"
10. Dave Matthews Band - "Busted Stuff"
"The record labels traditionally save their big guns for the 4th quarter, and this year is no exception with new releases from superstar artists like Faith Hill and Santana and collections from rock legends like U2, the Rolling Stones and Elton John," said Rick Krim, EVP, Music and Talent, VH1. "Music buyers have in the past gravitated to the big event releases and collections launched for the holiday season, and our research shows that the trend will continue as 2002 comes to a close."
Other intriguing findings in the survey ...
** Guys still like to rock. Nine of the top 10 artists for men in the
survey were rock bands, including Rolling Stones at #1 with their
compilation "40 Licks." The other rock artists in descending order are
U2, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Creed, Santana, Red Hot Chili
Peppers, Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band.
** Dave Matthews Band is big among the younger set. The band's two
releases "Busted Stuff" and "Live at Folsom" are in the Top 10 for the
20-29 group. "Eminem Show" and the soundtrack for "8 Mile" rank #1 and
#2 for this group.
** Women tend to be more appreciative of Eminem. The soundtrack for the
Eminem film "8 Mile" landed in the #6 spot among all women while
"Eminem Show" ranked #13. Among men, "8 Mile" showed at #18 while
"Eminem Show" landed at #24.
** As expected, the more mature artists showed up in the 40-49 demo. The
latest releases from Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Paul
McCartney and James Taylor all ranked in the top 10 along with new
releases from Rolling Stones, Santana and Elvis.** Who was popular
across all three demo groups in the survey (20-29, 30-39 and 40-49)?
