Everyone expects "Spider-Man" to be a box office blockbuster, but it's likely to make a pretty big dent on the Billboard albums chart as well.
The movie's soundtrack features Aerosmith doing their version of "Theme From Spider-Man" alongside tracks by Sum 41, Alien Ant Farm, the Strokes, Pete Yorn and others.
Meanwhile, Ali from Nelly's St. Lunatics crew reveals how he keeps his baggy pants manageable on Heavy Starch, which features guest spots from Nelly, Ms. Toi, Toya and Murphy Lee.
Blackalicious drop Blazing Arrow, the follow-up to 2000's Nia, and newcomer Vanessa Carlton releases Be Not Nobody.
And from the wayback machine, former teen heartthrob David Cassidy issues his fourth non-Partridge effort, Then & Now, while Robert Palmer releases the quizzically titled Best of Both Worlds, an anthology having nothing to do with Jay-Z or R. Kelly and featuring songs from 1974-2001.
