As I stated in my previous post I would come back to review this Top Ten list.

Oddly enough, "Now and Then" completely fell off our Top Ten list. So, we are minus one of the "Classic Five". "Now And Then" has been had an almost permanent home on the Top Ten for quite sometime. At one point it was #1. Nevertheless, it will be back in our Top Ten.

"Passage" being in the Top Ten last month was a one month fluke, as it's now gone from the Top Ten.

The MP3 Edition of "Karen Carpenter" solo has garnered a huge amount of interest amongst fans.

Recently "Ultimate Collection" is moving up the ranks not only on The Avenue and The Carpenters Online, but also at Amazon.com.

* For those of you who aren't familiar with the Carpenters' "Classic Five"; that would be their five classic chart topping albums "Close To You", "Carpenters", "A Song For You", "Now And then" and "Horizon".
