Blue October Celebrate ‘Any Man In America’ Chart Success

Blue October has landed their highest Billboard chart debut of their career with their latest album, ‘Any Man In America’. The album, which was released on lead singer Justin Furstenfeld’s own UP/DOWN Records, debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top 200, was the second-highest debut on the chart this week and also landed at #2 on the Independent Album Chart, selling over 26,000 copies.

Furstenfeld had this to say about the band’s achievement: “I am in awe and beside myself with a big sigh and the most amazing crows flying in my stomach. The fact that when I started UP/DOWN Records, it was to prove that the listener can still be touched by artists with something to say, artists who are not afraid to stand up and remind listeners that they can still feel music like a first kiss. Making music that is real is what both Blue October and UP/DOWN records is all about. I can’t thank everyone enough who has supported us and helped us achieve this milestone for the band.”

Blue October is Justin Furstenfeld, Jeremy Furstenfeld, Ryan Delahoussaye, Matt Noveskey, and Julian Mandrake.

Coldplay Hold Off Foo, Backstreet To Remain At #1

Backstreet Boys fans were hopeful when early indications suggested that their comeback effort ‘Never Gone’ (293k) would top the album charts this week, but Coldplay’s first week sales drop of ‘X&Y’ (336k) wasn’t enough to do the trick, and a late surge by the Foo Fighters with ‘In Your Honor’ (320k) relegated the boy band for a #3 debut, according to Hits Daily Double. The three acts are close enough where it is possible the Billboard sales figures may provide a different order of finish though when announced tomorrow.
