Weird Al Yankovic Scores First Ever #1 Album

Postby Romo » Jul 23, '14, 7:12 pm

The reason: the spectacular, viral success of the online video campaign to promote his latest album, “Mandatory Fun” (RCA), which this week became the first No. 1 of Mr. Yankovic’s three-decade career. With 104,000 sales in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, “Mandatory Fun” is also the first comedy album to top Billboard’s album chart since Allan Sherman’s “My Son, the Nut” in 1963. His new videos have been watched a total of 46 million times.


Happy for that he got #1 this new album is really good and really is Weird Al at his best! Crazy that 31 years of trying he gets #1

Weird Al is the man. Although I still prefer his earlier stuff, Party in the CIA from a couple years back was amazing.

As anyone who has ever had to work with management types, you will understand this one. It's sad how many I have come across:
