I checked and the nearest station with Alice is in Victorville, 90 miles from me. Stupid LA radio! No Alice & no Dr. Demento!

Well, if you read my post above yours, sailor, that doesn't matter any more, because WCSX streams online. I listened to Alice online last night, as a matter of fact.

Ben Folds' Songs for Silverman debuted at #13 on the Billboard charts with 50,000+ copies!!
I think Rockin the Suburbs and Ben Folds Live both debuted in the 40s on the chart, so how about that?
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Wow! Did Al's even do that good?

It did better than Poodle Hat, but only by about a couple thousand copies and 5 spots higher, so I wouldn't say it did much better.

And remember, that's just the opening sales. Al's albums have legs... his back catalog keeps on selling for years.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Yeah, Ben's only a cult favorite (Unfortunatly). When all is said and done about both albums, Poodle Hat will probably outdo Songs for Silverman by a healthy margin.
Of course, this isn't a competition
