While surely a #1 record is to be celebrated, the real kicker will be seeing how many cds total were sold in the first week.
Having a #1 cd these days isn't that hard to do. Back in the 80/90's (before illegal downloading) you had to sell anywhere from 600,000-900,000 to have a #1 out of the box. Some cd releases are hitting #1 now with only 100,000 or so these days.
The music industry is truly a different bird from what it used to be.

I hope in the long run this cd has legs to continue to sell over the next year with lots of promotion behind it.

End the end the guys delivered a great product that deserves to do well.
