WITCHY WOMAN
Broadway cast albums are infrequent visitors to the Billboard 200. After a two-year gap where no Broadway cast albums debuted, there have now been Broadway cast album debuts for five consecutive years. Keeping the run going is "Wicked" (Decca Broadway/Universal Classics Group), the musical that reveals the back story of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda, the Good Witch.
"Wicked" is the eighth Broadway cast album to chart this century and the first since the Bernadette Peters version of "Gypsy" debuted in September 2003. The highest-ranked Broadway cast album of the past 20 years is "Rent," which peaked at No. 19 in September 1996.

That's very interesting-I'm surprised that it wasn't one of the popular British/French musicals. You learn something every day...
