Paul McCartney's DVD video "Back in the U.S." (Capitol Video) has set records for highest single-week sales and highest debut sales of a music DVD. The title, which chronicles McCartney's 2002 Driving U.S.A. tour, sold 61,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, to bow at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Music Videos chart. A companion McCartney CD sold 224,000 copies and debuts this week at No. 8 on The Billboard 200.

Before the McCartney project, the best week for a music DVD was by Dave Matthews Band's "Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, Colorado" (BMG Video), which sold more than 31,000 units upon its debut last month.

I'm glad the DVD sold so well! Sounds like that'll be a tough record to beat, considering it's double the previous record. Yay for Paul! images/icons/smile.gif
