Also, depending on chart rules, the Joanna Newsom might have only sold a third that many copies, surely? Doubles counting as two sales etc in the UK.

07 Joanna Newsom – Have One on Me (48,754)
this is surprising no matter how sales are counted, i would've expected her up there at 100,000+ with sufjan, beach house, etc.

Nor did I til a month ago and now it's one of my favourite records of the year. 104,217 Americans can't be wrong.

I just prefer thinking about Beach House as a bad Goa trance album name from 1998 on Moonshine.

I would still prefer that to the actual Beach House

they are good. it's crazy they sold 100 000+ copies! they seem like really great people, too. didn't listen to the new album much but devotion is an all time classic

15k in the US for Tame Impala is pretty impressive since, afaik, it still hasn't been given a domestic release (Amazon still has only the import for like $30)
