I don't know what's harder to believe....Al's fanbase is bigger than Metallica's, or Metallica's fanbase is the biggest of any other artist during Al's career
And whatever you think of Lonely Island, let's not forget they have two advantages over Al. Andy's on tv every week, and their popularity can at least somewhat be attributed to, say, Justin Timberlake and other artists.
And one more thing: Let's not forget that Al is a chief influence on Lonely Island and they're Al Pals. You may not like them, but Al's a big reason why they are who they are.
I don't know about the YouTube artists, but Lonely Island, Flight Of The Conchords, Tenacious D, MC Lars, Jonathan Coulton....and let's not forget Jace's band and the other FuMP artists, Al made this.
And the song's only been out as an mp3 for a week. Without a video. Relax a little, will ya guys?
