Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Cash. Yes, and yes.Did you notice how the new Hendrix album came out of the gates? It entered the Billboard chart at No. 4 with 95,000 copies sold (17,000 digitally) and made some posthumous history in the process. No artist has had an album in the Top 5 this many years -- nearly 40 -- after his death. (The previous record of 26 years was held by Elvis.)
This happened just a week after Cash's American VI: Ain't No Grave debuted at No. 3.
