Huh. When I looked up Cake on Wikipedia I couldn't find any details on their singles discography. Weird ???

Let's put it this way - this single is doing better than their last 2 lead singles.

Album's projected sales: Cake (Upbeat/ILG) 37-42k This could potentially get them a #1.  :O |

Debuts at #1 on the album 200. Lowest ever opening figures for a #1 album though.

44,517 albums sold for the #1 spot on Billboard 200..
That's just sat-down-on-the-couch-crying-with-a-tub-of-ice-cream depressing. :(

I think it's awesome. Who really thought that in 2011, Cake would have the country's best selling album?

I know! Who cares if nobody buys albums anymore. They still sold more than everybody else last week!
Cake hasn't even had a top-ten record until now.

Yes, it's depressing that such a low number of units sold was able to get the number one record in the country, but that's two Alternative artists at the top two spots. I don't believe that happens very often. |

And they both start with C! Hooray C! Maybe Cold War Kids can claim #1 next week and keep the C streak going!

I'm glad they got the #1 album even f it was with low sales. And I'm pretty much obsessed with this song right now, I love the spoken bridge.

Don't care much for this song and don't like them enough to be interested in listening to any of their albums front to back, but still, yes, hats off to Cake. They've earned this and should celebrate every day this week. |

I just want to make sure that everybody realizes that this song peaked on the Mediabase Alternative chart for nine (9) consecutive weeks at #5.

This is a weird song for me. The lyrics aren't brilliant, and they're repetitive. But the spoken part/bridge is cool, gives it a Gorillaz-like feel to the song. The rest of the song sounds like it's from the 60's.
