Chart Watch America: Chart of December 3, 2011

Our weekly recap of veteran artists on the current American music charts. Chart highlights:
  • Classic crooner Tony Bennett is replaced by another veteran pop singer as Frank Sinatra debuts at 23 with Sinatra: Best of the Best. The album is the first to include tracks from both his Capitol and Reprise catalogs.
  • Two various artists albums debut well with the Starbucks exclusive Let It Snow starting at 45 and the U2 tribute album  (Ahk-toong Bay-bi) Covered premiering at 53. 
  • The R.E.M. career retrospective  Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982-2011 debuts at 55. Like the Sinatra set, it is the first time that tracks from both their I.R.S. and Warner Brothers catalogs have appeared together on an album. 
  • Someday we will understand how Billboard determines what is new and one is a return to the charts for an album. The recent deluxe edition of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon came on as a return, adding to the existing number of weeks for the album. This week, though, the Who's Quadrophenia, now in a deluxe edition, is considered a first time debut at 100. 
  • Tony Bennett scores a second album on the Top 200 as The Classic Christmas Album debuts at 169. 
  • The last debut for the week is down at 197 with the first appearance in 23 years on the top 200 for Betty Wright. The new album,  Betty Wright: The Movie, is her collaboration with the Roots and her first charting album since 1988's Mother Wit.
TW = This Week, LW = Last Week, N = New, R = Returning to Chart. The highest charting entry by a veteran artist is shown in red.
