10/11 charts:
• With each successive album, Kings of Leon continues to reach new heights. Its new set, "Only By the Night," climbs in at No. 5 with just over 74,000 on the Billboard 200. That's light years beyond what its first release, "Youth and Young Manhood," did back in 2003, when it entered at No. 113 with 11,000. Then, in 2005, "Aha Shake Heartbreak" did even better, bowing at No. 55 with 20,000. But wait, there's more: the act's third album, 2007's "Because of the Times," started at No. 25 with 41,000 ... The band also celebrates more exciting chart news -- it also holds down the No. 1 slots on both the Official U.K. Albums Chart and Singles Chart this week.

YES! I can't wait to see them in concert in November. I am so in love with this album, it's not funny and it's good that this is the album to break them.

I guess not too many fans here? Anyways, I've had the album for a while (bf ripped it onto my computer) but just never got around to listening. I liked Aha well enough, but I was a pretty big fan of Times...this album has made me into a full fledged obsessive fan. I'm in love with this band now (and also Caleb). I think my favorites on the album are Closer, Use Somebody, and Manhattan.

Best selling album of 2008 in Australia!
Great album even though Because of the Times was slightly better.

Anyway, this album is my #3 album of 2008 for my top 50 and KOL are now my 2nd favorite band of all time, right behind Radiohead. They pushed The Killers out of that #2 spot. How many copies has this sold?

Climbed to #2 this week in the UK charts, their highest position since they spent four weeks at #1 earlier in the year. Coincidentally, the album's also been certified 4xP for sales of just over 1.2M. Great going.

This album is flying off the shelves in Boston, especially after the Grammys. I want platinum by the time this era is over.
