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!

no its... NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL SHIT. but anyway, i usually only pay attention to how albums and songs do in their own genre. so it's really good that WATN pwned Dance/Electronic.

Haha, I wouldn't expect electronic album to be anywhere high on the general Billboard charts. I'm actually fairly surprised it even got in top 100.

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.

Haha, don't be bringing that up again xD I believe that was banished from being mentioned after Erol (that ruddy bird :D) deleted it off the myspace.

Yeah, I guess I did forget that it hasn't been marketed much at all.


Still a strong "underground" base for the Brothers over here.


TJ--yes, better name for the NOW discs.

Hey, remember the glory days of NOW 3 (I believe) when they had the Rockefellar Skank as one of their songs? :D

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.

At least WATN is number 1 album on the US Itunes store for Electronic music...And I have friends who really have no interest in electronic humming Do it Again...And it was not my influence...they heard it elsewhere...

Misreading the title of this thread, somehow the idea of a WATN commerical billboard slipped into my head. That would be a-fucking-mazing. But yeah, good news!

Ha! Of course. Crap music always overshadows real music here in our jaded American youths. I'm glad I decided to follow the electronica path. My schoolmates can keep their Akon and their "T.I vs. T.I.P." xP

What the fuck is this "T.I. vs. T.I.P."? I keep seeing it on iTunes and think, "Sounds like TCP-IP or some crap mash-up" Ha ha.


But really, what are they even?
