Kid Rock performed Saturday at Pengrowth Saddledome.

Attendance 9,000.

A spinning disco ball hovered over the stage as police sirens wailed.

A gang of slick but hardened characters dubbed the Twisted Brown Trucker Band began to bang out the gospel-tinged southern rock of a tune called Rock 'n' Roll Jesus as their leader appeared at the mike in a white, pimped-out suit and tie preaching his own gospel -- the virtues of sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Kid Rock

Fri July 11

By Geoff Mayfield

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Most commentary about the music business in the past year or so on blogs or in the press suggests that traditional radio and the CD have become irrelevant. Those assumptions are boldly refuted by a dozen consecutive weeks of sales gains for Kid Rock's "Rock N Roll Jesus," which re-enters the Billboard 200's top 10 for the first time since November in that title's third week on the chart.

The album's latest growth spurt yields a move from No. 12 to No.

G-Unit fails to terminate the album chart's leaders

A half-buck doesnt go quite as far as it used to. G-Unit, the hip-hop crew led by 50 Cent had the top debuting album on this weeks Nielsen Soundscan chart, coming in at No. 4. But opening week sales of 102,000 for T.O.S. (Terminate on Sight) pale against the 377,000 units their previous album scored with. Of course, that last album came out way back in 2003, and this one hasnt generated any hit singles.

At No. 7, Kid Rock's "Rock N Roll Jesus" zooms up five slots

At No. 7, Kid Rock's "Rock N Roll Jesus" zooms up five slots with 45,000 (and a 27% increase in sales), returning to the top 10 for the first time since last November. The album has been on a roll lately, as this week it celebrates its 12th straight sales gain. Much of the album's recent charge has been powered by the hit radio single "All Summer Long," which rises 18-13 on the Hot AC/Adult Top 40 chart, 53-44 on Hot Country Songs and 21-17 on the CHR/Top 40 chart.
