Rock News: Limp Bizkit #1, Fred the V.P.
Limp Bizkit's second major label album Significant Other bumped the bubble gum kings the Backstreet Boys from the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 200. 

The Backstreet Boys had held on to the number 1 position for the past five weeks, and not even the mega hyped Ricky Martin could topple them, So they called in the big guns and Limp Bizkit got the job done! 

Significant Other sold  634,874 copies in it's first week, and will be number one when Billboard published the Hot 200 chart next week. 

This appears to be Limp Bizkit's week, the bands front man Fred Durst was named Senior V.P. of Interscope Records this week. He will also be given his own division to run as he sees fit. 

Fred will be called upon to use his vast talents in video and record production as well as perform other A&R related duties. Rumor has it that  he was approached to utilize his skills for other labels, but decided to accept the V.P. position with Interscope because that is the label his band is signed to. 

Way to go Fred and the rest of band, you have made us very proud here at Rock n World by proving that rock is still king and no amount of prepubescent girls scurrying to the record stores to buy the mindless dribble from the latest incarnation of  the New Kids on the Block could stop real rock from triumphing!
