Well I'll be darned...

A 20,000 album lead!

The Hits Daily Double article mentioned that this was a second consecutive number one album for RCA. I'd like to point out that last week's number one RCA album was Sia's 1,000 Forms of Fear, with only sold 52,000 copies, HALF as many as Al!

It was kinda close there for a while...wow.

But when Al hit #1, this was the parody that came to mind:

Tweet that to Al! That's hilarious!

Also, the Hot 100 charts come out tomorrow. I think Word Crimes is going to be somewhere in there, just by the YouTube views alone.

Haha!! John, that is awesome! Please tweet it to Al!
Maybe without the "dickbutt" doodle so he'd actually retweet it?

I hope you tweet it to him (sans dickbutt) too! And wow, wow, wow, this is amazing. I thought it would be realistic and was hoping for him to debut in the Top 5 until the other day when I first heard he might be #1. This is incredible!

I do wonder where his individual songs will land as well, or do they not count on the singles chart if they aren't "officially" released as singles? Is that how that works?

Yeah, definitely tweet that to Al.

Lol. That article was on Yahoo yesterday morning.

Not that I read Yahoo or anything.

Wow! This news is absolutely phenomenal! Way to go Al and the band!

It was a pretty close there for a while...but I guess it's official!

When Al hit #1, this was the parody that came to mind (edited for dickbutt):

I wonder if many people will even understand this picture.

Lol wow, who even looks THAT closely at the small words in the paper? But it's edited now.

BTW, if anyone wants to retweet this, I'm on twitter as QuantumError and name is John D. Turnbull.
