From ABC News:
“It’s official,” Weird Al Yankovic tweeted early this morning after learning his new album had hit No. 1.
“MANDATORY FUN enters the Billboard album chart this week at #1. Wow. WOW,” the funnyman, 54, tweeted.

He added, “If you’d told me 30 years ago this would happen, I never would’ve believed it. If you’d told me 2 WEEKS ago, I never would’ve believed it.”
Yankovic has been entertaining fans for more than three decades with parodies of songs, including the Michael Jackson take-offs, “Eat It” and “Fat,” but came out of nowhere this year with his new album and new hits like “Tacky” and “Handy,” riffs off popular songs by the likes of Pharrell and Iggy Azalea. “Mandatory Fun” is Weird Al’s 14th studio album.
