Music Vampire Weekend Takes the #1 Spot on the Billboard 200

Posted by Mike Conklin on Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 5:17 PM

This week in America, 124,000 people bought an album whose lyrics include the phrase "Richard Serra skate-park." That's more than Ke$ha sold, more than Susan Boyle sold, more than the Eagles sold, more than Michael Jackson sold, and more than everyone else sold, too. Congratulations are in order, obviously, to Vampire Weekend, and to you too, America.
