Sadly, WATN debuted at #65 on the U.S. Billboard charts. Wow.
But hey, they were #1 on the Dance/Electronic Billboard chart.
But for a frame of reference, the #1 album on the Billboard chart is NOW 25, as in, NOW THAT'S CRAPPY MUSIC!

Yeah Profunk, I agree. Considering there has been absolutely no marketing or radio play for this in the States, cracking the top 100 is a pleasant surprise.
I'm afraid to see what else is on that chart for fear that my eyes will melt out of my skull and my brain will explode pondering what my fellow Americans are actually listening to.
Glad to see they on top of the Dance/Electronic chart. TJ made a good point about genre specific charts.
If only there was a chart for Emotronic.

Ugh, those NOW discs are really awful. And it seems like they are released every month.
Anyway - Chems at 65 on the top 100 is actually not that bad, all things considered here in this thread already. And this is the US afterall.
I'm digging on this being #1 in the Dance category. I hope it stays within the top 10 for a while. I was a bit saddened to see Do It Again slip from 1 to 2 on the Dance single sales charts. That freaking NIN has been #1 (60+ weeks on the charts I believe) for ages til the Chems bumped it to 2 a couple of weeks ago.

I'm more amazed that my HMV has sold 8 copies of the disc. that just slightly rocks...there buying something either then that crap tiesto album. Plus billboard is really usless IMO except to tell retail stores what product they'll make the most money off of. That's the only reason we keep it around our store.
