Bob Seger Returns To Several Billboard Charts Thanks To Sales Gains
Bob Seger's Greatest Hits re-enters the Top Album Sales and Top Rock Albums charts, selling over ... More 2,000 copies and climbing four Billboard rankings this week. Musician Bob Seger performs at the Poplar Creek Music Theater, Hoffman Estates, Illinois, July 9, 1983. (Photo by)
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band's Greatest Hits is one of the most successful albums in American history. The title can almost always be found on a handful of Billboard rankings, but even the sturdy project occasionally falls off some tallies. While streaming keeps the compilation present on the Billboard 200, it doesn't always sell well enough to remain on rosters dedicated solely to pure purchases. Still, fans of Seger and the group know that if the Greatest Hits collection ever disappears, it won't be gone for long.
This week, Greatest Hits by Seger and the Silver Bullet Band returns to the Top Album Sales chart. The ranking lists the full-lengths and EPs that actually sell the most copies throughout the U.S. According to Luminate, the compilation sold just over 2,000 copies during the most recent tracking period. That number represents a more than 21% increase — several hundred additional units — from the previous frame.
That figure is large enough to place the compilation in second-to-last place on the sales-only tally. Seger and company land just ahead of another hugely popular compilation: Chronicle by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
That uptick in purchases was also enough to bring Greatest Hits back to another ranking. The compilation reenters the Top Rock Albums list at No. 25. That roster is compiled using a methodology that blends both sales and streaming activity, but it appears the increase in fans buying the title alone helped push it back onto the list of the most-consumed rock collections in the country.
As Greatest Hits returns to those two rankings, it also rises on yet another pair of Billboard rosters. The set lifts two spots to No. 31 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. At the same time, it surges seven spaces to No. 138 on the Billboard 200.
Luminate reports that while sales of Seger's Greatest Hits jumped by more than 20% week over week, total consumption — which includes streams as well as purchases — grew by only 5.5%. The set shifted 10,650 equivalent units in the U.S. during the tracking week that ended more than seven days ago.

Republican lawmakers stand firm against Musk's 'Kill the Bill' assault on Trump's agenda
The Big, Beautiful Bill became the big, throbbing migraine for Congressional Republicans this week. That's thanks to the big, ugly brawl between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It started Tuesday with a hangup between Congressional Republicans and Musk over the Big, Beautiful Bill. Musk characterized it as a "disgusting abomination." He then turned on all 215 House Republicans who voted yes on the bill last month. "You know you did wrong," declared Musk. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., tried to call Musk to foam the political flames. Musk Says Trump Would Have Lost 2024 Election Without Him As 'Big Beautiful Bill' Feud Continues Read On The Fox News App "I called Elon last night. He didn't answer. "But I hope to talk to him today," said Johnson. Surely the world's richest man would have the bandwidth for the Speaker of the House. But the hangup was only starting. Rather than returning the Speaker's call, Musk returned political fire. Not by phone. But on his own communication platform. Elon Musk Warpath Against Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Rattles House Gop On X, Musk posted an iconic picture of Uma Thurman in a yellow jumpsuit, wielding a sword from a Quentin Tarantino movie poster. "KILL the Bill," read Musk's caption. Reach out and touch someone? How about reach out and call your senator or representative? Musk's influence – and rapid pivot – frightened Congressional Republicans. "To say that it's a problem or that it has created a bigger challenge for us, is true," said House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington," R-Tex. "He's got a big voice. He's got a big audience. And more importantly, it's a credible voice. But he's wrong on this issue." Still, Republicans weren't budging as Musk demanded lawmakers craft a new piece of legislation. "Elon, look," said an exasperated Johnson. "We don't have time for a brand new bill." Elon Musk Posts 'Kill Bill' Meme In Latest Push To Nix Trump's Big Beautiful Bill The Speaker added that Congressional Republicans "can't go back to the drawing board and we shouldn't." The political contretemps started simmering as Republicans quickly became incensed with Musk. "Give us some productive feedback that we can operate on. I can't operate on platitudes," said Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., of Musk's vague criticism about the size of the legislation and deficit spending. Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, is one of the two House Republicans who voted no on the Big, Beautiful Bill last month. "Part of the goal with Musk and conservatives like me that have had reservations about the bill is make it better," said Davidson. "The disappointing thing is this bill does grow deficits in this Congress." Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was the other House GOPer who voted nay. He says Musk learned how Congress operates the hard way. David Marcus: Musk Vs. Maga On Big, Beautiful Bill, But Gop Needs Both "Trust was misplaced. And so I think he has a right to be upset with our leadership," said Massie. But Democrats suddenly made strange bedfellows with Musk. They viewed Musk's opposition as an opportunity to help them sidetrack the legislation. "He's not my cup of tea, to put it mildly. But Republicans are already listening to him," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of Musk. But at least one Democrat called out his colleagues for their inconsistency with Musk. "We've been dumping all over Musk and vandalizing Teslas," said Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn. "And now suddenly, now we might be more back into him." This all came as the Trump Administration asked Congress to chip away at spending. Budget Director Russ Vought sent lawmakers a $9.4 billion "rescissions" request. This measure asks that lawmakers claw back money it already allocated. "$9.4 billion is a teardrop in the ocean," said Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C. "If we can't get this now, then God help us on getting the true deficit numbers down." The rescissions plan targeted foreign aid and public broadcasting. "You've sent us a rescission package worth $9 billion that goes after Big Bird and Cookie Monster," lamented Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wisc., at a hearing with Vought. White House Stands By Tax Bill After Musk Calls It A 'Disgusting Abomination' The Congressional Budget Office analysis of the Big, Beautiful Bill found that it adds $2.3 trillion to the deficit over a decade. But Republicans say those figures are wrong. The CBO also issued an analysis – specific to President Trump's tariffs. The CBO projects a $3 trillion decrease in deficits over the next decade because of the tariffs. The CBO cannot evaluate the tariffs under the One Big, Beautiful Bill – because, well, they're not part of the legislation. But, proponents of the One Big Beautiful Bill say that measure, coupled with the tariffs, decreases deficits by $500 billion over the next decade. Some Republicans believe that the CBO estimate about the deficit is what set off Musk. "I think their assumptions are wrong. We have long complained about it," said Johnson. But remember, this is the CONGRESSIONAL Budget Office. And REPUBLICANS run Congress. "Why are you not getting the numbers that you want?" asked yours truly of the Speaker. "They use a different scoring," replied Johnson. "Would you consider a rescission for the CBO in the legislative branch appropriations bill?" I followed up. "I would," answered Johnson. But the CBO is the least of Johnson's worries as the battle between the president and Musk went supernova on Thursday. "What is the message you need to hear from him to make sure you are on the same page?" I asked Johnson of Musk – who still hadn't connected. "I just want to answer any questions Elon has and make sure he fully understands this is not a spending program," said Johnson. "Do you think he just misperceives this?" I inquired. "I do," said Johnson. Senate Republicans who are noes on the bill applauded Musk's staunch opposition to the One Big, Beautiful Bill. "We both seem to be on the same wavelength and that we're very, very skeptical," said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. On Thursday afternoon, Musk argued that President Trump would have lost the White House and Democrats would control the House and Senate were it not for the $280 million he poured into the 2024 campaign. "He obviously played a positive role," said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., another no on the bill. "He helped spend that much money. He attracted a lot of people." But Democrats weren't so sure of Musk's political rainmaking. "It's just crocodile tears that are being shed by Elon Musk," said Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. Democrats saw the breakup coming between the president and Musk. "It's a divorce that was predictable, if not inevitable," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. Some Senate Republicans claimed they weren't worried about Musk torching the bill – and even President Trump – on X. They believed the president wielded an inherent advantage over Musk in the ultimate "Twitter" cage match. "President Trump has the biggest platform on Earth," said Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio. It's too early to tell if Musk's incineration of the One Big, Beautiful Bill will hamper efforts to pass the legislation – especially with tight vote margins in the House and Senate. "It's not helpful," conceded Mike Johnson. "But I don't think it's changed the trajectory in any way." But Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., said Republicans stand at an unenviable crossroads. "They have a choice of going against Trump or Musk," said article source: Republican lawmakers stand firm against Musk's 'Kill the Bill' assault on Trump's agenda

Fatal shooting of Jonathan Joss uncovers neighborhood feud, sparks police controversy
The Brief Jonathan Joss, voice actor for John Redcorn on King of the Hill, was fatally shot outside his San Antonio home. A neighbor has been arrested and charged with murder, but police are facing scrutiny for initially dismissing the possibility of a hate crime. Investigators are now probing a long-standing neighborhood feud and a prior house fire involving Joss, to determine if they are connected to his murder. SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The Hollywood actor was shot and killed outside his San Antonio home last weekend. The San Antonio Police Department did make an arrest in the case, but they've also stepped right into a PR scandal. Perhaps best known as the voice behind John Redcorn on the hit TV show King of the Hill, actor Jonathan Joss was fatally gunned down outside his home, at the age of 69 on Sunday. Almost immediately, police arrested a neighbor, 56-year-old Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, and charged him with murder. Investigators never revealed what linked him to the crime, but court records show Alvarez did bond out and is currently on house arrest. What they're saying San Antonio Police Chief William McManus initially said there was no reason to believe a hate crime had occurred but has since walked that statement back. "Shouldn't have done it. It was way too soon before we had any real information and I will own that and simply say again that we simply shouldn't have that," said McManus. "We understand that many in the LBGTQ Plus community are feeling anxious and concerned. A lot of it has to do with that premature statement that we released, and again, I own that." The victim's husband told officers that Alvarez yelled homophobic slurs at them, before opening fire. Dig deeper Neighbors told police that Alvarez and Joss had a longstanding neighborhood feud over reasons yet to be revealed. "There's also concern about the circumstances surrounding that death and the history in the neighborhood leading up to that," said McManus. On Thursday, alliance members held a community meeting with police leaders to dispel some of the rumors and myths that the case has generated. "We feel it's important to be able to bridge the gap and just get to a truth everybody can understand," said Secretary of PRIDE San Antonio, James Poindexter. According to detectives, Joss's home burned down several months ago. Now the big question is, are the fire and the murder connected? Police are sorting through the extensive logs in their quest for clues. "There are approximately 70 calls over the past two years involving various neighborhood type disturbances. Sometimes he was the caller. Other times, the neighbors were calling on him," said McManus. "Our homicide detectives are continuing to pursue every lead in this case to ensure that we understand the full picture of what led up to the senseless murder of Mr. Joss." What's next When asked by a reporter at today's news conference whether Joss was targeted because of his sexual orientation, Chief McManus said they're still "looking into that."
