Look at Arcade Fire Go!So
this is already posted all over the blog-o-sphere, but thought I'd give mention
to Montreal's own Arcade Fire hitting number 2 on the Billboard 200. Quite an achievement for a
sophomore release from a band on a independent label. This is a really strong
album, and I highly recommend it. You can grab it from eMusic.com.
Check out my favorite track from the album, Intervention: From Pitchfork: Arcade Fire's Neon Bible Debuts at #2 The Arcade Fire's second album, Neon Bible, claimed the No. 2 spot on the U.S. Billboard 200 charts this week, stomping all over new LPs from Daughtry, Relient K and Robin Thicke. According to Billboard, the album sold 92,000 copies this week; only Notorious B.I.G.'s Greatest Hits sold more. That album, which was released ten years after the rapper's death, sold 99,000 copies. This position is miles ahead of Funeral's chart ranking, which peaked at #131. The album also topped the Independent and Rock Album charts. Neon Bible also took #2 in the UK, coming in second to the Kaiser Chiefs' Yours Truly, Angry Mob. Posted: Wed - March 14, 2007 at 12:20 PM | |
