It looks like album buyers are attracted to the name Jack. Thanks for the update.

I noticed that, too, Milton. It's like all the major artists with "Jack" in their name decided to flood the market for one week in 2008. They've done quite well for themselves in doing so. In fact, I'm thinking about changing my name to Jack Jackson and recording an album.
