Foo Fighters score first ever US #1 album!! (And land at #1 in 11 other countries)

Yes, you read that correctly… I can’t believe that they haven’t had a #1 US album until now!  Wasting Light sold 235,000 copies in the US this week to top Adele’s 21, which came in a distant second with 95,000 sold.  Congratulations to all involved, especially our James Brown, who engineered and co-mixed it.  I’m sure this news is dulling the pain he is surely feeling from Mariano Rivera blowing a save last night…

Wasting Light is #1 in: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Austria, Singapore and Belgium.
