Let's see: This week, Meat Loaf fights his way to No. 1, Billy Joel jumps three notches, and the highest-charting new entry is Common Thread, on which country stars cover their favorite Eagles songs. Dazed and Confused may have tanked at the box office, but '70s nostalgia is going full steam-or should we say bong-in the music world. (For a little perspective, consider that Meat Loaf's original Bat Out of Hell only flew as high as 14 in 1978.) Still, it's only a matter of time before the '90s come roaring back-most certainly next week, when Pearl Jam's Vs. moshes into the charts. Last Weeks on Week Pop Albums Chart
