It appears nothing can top Adele’s 21, which has been the #1 album for seven non-consecutive week and moved a total of 1.5 million copies, but at least the Beastie Boys and Fleet Foxes can say they did better than Radiohead. The Brooklyn hip hop trio’s long-awaited Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2 sold 128,000 copies in its debut week, which was good enough for the number two spot on the Billboard Top 200 (Adele did 155k). Fleet Foxes also had a strong showing as their sophomore LP, Helplessness Blues, came in at #4, selling 92,000 copies.

    What with the stupid Radiohead comment? Is that “hipster” to provoke them now? How retarded. They released the album via website first, zillions already had it when the CD was released, get over it. And they went from 6 to 3 on Billboard in the second week. I doubt they are a tad bit bothered about that…

      Even though im sure it was just a light hearted joke.. easy LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII….

      I do love Radiohead though so I’ll like your comment haha.

      Radiohead may not be bothered by it, but obviously you are. I’m surprised you found enough time between sucking Thom Yorke’s dong and getting the King of Limbs logo tattooed on your ass to come post here.

        HAHA, you said “dong”. Not enough people use that word.

        Yes, I am bothered, bothered by the fact that some sites need to mention Radiohead for everything, mostly if hinting at some type of ‘fail’ by their part, what to me is idiot and unfair towards the band. I don’t need to ‘suck Thom Yorke’s dong’ to see this ‘let’s wish Radiohead fails’ bandwagon happening here. But… sorry haters, they are far from that.
