Chart-topping Linkin Park puts MVI format on the map
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - With an opening week large enough to remind us of the good old days, Linkin Park steps into the future.
Its "Minutes to Midnight" is not only the first album to be sold in the new Music Video Interactive configuration, it becomes the first MVI-available title to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
The album begins with 623,000 copies sold, the largest frame by any record since Thanksgiving week, when Jay-Z's "Kingdom Come" opened with 680,000. The Warner Bros. label estimates that 60,000 of Linkin Park's U.S. units (almost 10 percent) were sold in the MVI format, which plays on DVD players but unbundles such goodies as ringtones, wallpaper and other bonus features when popped into a computer.
