We could talk about the fact that Ludacris debuted at Number One this week, selling 309,284 copies of Release Therapy so far, or that Janet Jackson came in at Number Two, with 296,278 copies of 20 Y.O. sold. But all we really care about is the new “Weird Al” Yankovic album Straight Outta Lynwood. The record debuted in the Number Ten slot this week selling 72,600 copies and marking — according to Wikipedia, anyway — Yankovic’s highest chart debut ever.
Also of note in this week’s charts? The whole Jake Shears vs. FYE snafu wasn’t enough to keep the Scissor Sisters’ new album Ta-Dah from scoring pretty high. It came in at Number Nineteen, moving 41,992 copies in its first week. And random chart success Snow Patrol increased their sales this week by thirteen percent selling 31,948 copies of their album Eyes Open and holding fast to their Number Twenty-nine spot. You can all exhale now.
