The week's Billboard charts are in, and it looks good for DMB: Stand Up has debuted at #1, Billboard reports. It sold 465,000 copies in its first week, short of Busted Stuff's 622,000-strong debut in 2002, and way short of Everyday's sales of 733,000 in the week of its release in 2001. It is, though, the strongest showing of a rock album thus far in 2005. Thanks to Wayland for the tip.
