File this one in the “persistence actually pays off” department – Big congratulations to “Weird Al” Yankovic for his first EVER Number One album…31 YEARS AFTER HIS DEBUT! “Mandatory Fun” sold 104,000 copies in its first week & is the first comedy album to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts in 54 years!!! 54 must be the magic number because that’s also Al’s age. He beat out 37 year old Jason Mraz for the top spot.
A few days ago we showcased Weird Al’s “Tacky” video, so here are two more from his twisted catalogue – “Word Crimes” & “White and Nerdy”
