Mumford & Sons' 'Babel' Scores Biggest Debut of Year, Bows at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart

Mumford & Sons' 'Babel' Scores Biggest Debut of Year, Bows at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart:

October 02, 2012 9:00 EDT

It’s official: Mumford & Sons’ “Babel” has earned the biggest debut of any album this year in the U.S.

The group’s second album sold 600,000 in its first week — according to Nielsen SoundScan — and becomes the rock quartet’s first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It’s also the first No. 1 for its record label, Glassnote Records.

Here are some of the amazing statistics on “Babel’s” first week:

Largest Debut Sales Week of 2012: With 600,000 sold, “Babel” easily trumps the first-week racked by Justin Bieber’s “Believe” (374,000), which had owned the largest debut of the year until now. “Believe” falls to second place in terms of the 2012’s biggest starts, followed by Madonna’s “MDNA” (359,000) and P!nk’s “The Truth About Love” (280,000).

Biggest Sales Week for a Rock Album Since 2008: The album notches the best week for a rock set since AC/DC’s “Black Ice” bowed at No. 1 with 784,000 on the Nov. 8, 2008 chart.

Mumford & Sons has scored four top 10 singles on the Alternative airplay chart and its current single, “I Will Wait,” reaches No. 1 on the Rock Songs airplay tally this week. The group’s debut album, “Sigh No More,” spent six weeks atop the Rock Albums chart and has been a near-constant presence on the tally since it was released in February of 2010.

Biggest Sales Week for RED Distribution: ”Babel’s” bow garners RED Distribution its largest sales week ever. It surpasses the 394,000 that was racked by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s “The Art of War” (Ruthless/Relativity) in its No. 1 debut on the chart dated Aug. 16, 1997. (“Babel” was released on Gentlemen of the Road/Glassnote Records and distributed by RED Distribution — Sony’s indie distribution arm.)

“Babel” is RED’s first No. 1 since Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” (TBD/ATO) jumped to the top of the list (flying from No. 156 to No. 1) on the Jan. 12, 2008 chart…

Second Largest Sales Week of 2012 (Overall): ”Babel’s” big debut is the overall second-largest this year, in terms of copies sold in a single week, second only to Adele’s “21.”

Second Largest Sales Week for an Independently Distributed Album in SoundScan History: Only one other indie-distributed set in SoundScan history (1991-present) has sold more in a week: Eagles’ Walmart-exclusive “Long Road Out of Eden.” It bowed with 711,000 at No. 1 on the Nov. 17, 2007 chart.

Second Largest Digital Sales Week for an Album: With 420,000 downloads sold, “Babel” scores the second-biggest frame for a digital album in history. Only Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” which moved 662,000 downloads in its first week in 2011, sold more digital copies in a week. (A chunk of Gaga’s figure was driven by Amazon MP3’s sale pricing of the set at 99-cents for two days during release week.) In third place on the all-time biggest download weeks is Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter IV,” which sold 362,000 digital copies its first week last year.

Sixth-Straight Year an Indie Album Has Hit No. 1: Since 2007, there has been at least one independently-distributed album that has ruled at No. 1. “Babel” is the first such indie set this year, and follows Cake’s “Showroom of Compassion” and Mac Miller’s “Blue Slide Park” in 2011. In 2010, three indie sets topped the list, while there was one each in 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Amidst all of the excitement over “Babel’s” debut, Mumford & Sons’ first album, “Sigh No More,” continues to rack up big sales. The set has been on the Billboard 200 since it debuted on the March 6, 2010 chart, and it hasn’t left the top 75 since July of 2010. So far, “Sigh No More,” which peaked at No. 2 on the chart, has sold 2.5 million in the U.S.

Congratulations, Mumford & Sons!

“

When the tour was over, he turned to me. ‘You start stockpiling yet?’

I felt inadequate. My lifetime assets could have fit in his liquor cabinet. ‘Not really,’ I said. ‘I do keep an extra stick of deodorant in the closet, just in case.’

Mumford & Sons in Hoboken: A Complaint

Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:37:00 -0400

I’ve kind of been stewing on this for a while, but decided I had to say something.

I saw Mumford & Sons last night in Hoboken. My first time seeing them ever. If you know anything about me, you know that these four boys make up my favorite band of all time. OF ALL TIME. I have been looking forward to this moment for YEARS. It had finally arrived. We got to the venue late, so we were pretty far back from the stage. But in a sea of 15,000 people, the fact that I could even see inch-tall versions of them on stage was pretty awesome. But there was a HUGE problem that almost destroyed the night for me.

Dear majority of last night’s concert goers, WHY CAN’T YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP?! Seriously. How extremely RUDE. The entire night, there was just a constant chatter going. I missed the first two opening acts, so I don’t know if people were this rude the entire night, or just when Mumford & Sons got on stage, but it was infuriating. I listened to one girl tell her two friends about the drug tests she and some coworkers had to take IN THE MIDDLE OF A SONG. Man, I’m so glad I got to hear that, because, you know, I was really fucking curious. I’m actually relieved to report that the storyteller apparently HATES some chick, but she would TOTALLY be her friend outside of the office.

REALLY?! REALLY?! And that was only on my right. To my left was another girl just jabbering and cackling away throughout the ENTIRE SET. Even when I couldn’t pick out other individual offenders, there was a constant buzz of conversation over the entire crowd. I really, really sincerely hope that the band could not hear it. The crowd was divided in two by a barricade, and at least the group closer to the stage seemed enthused. The section where I was stuck… people seemed bored.

I wonder if people bought tickets just to say that they bought tickets and went to a Mumford & Sons show. Because they sure didn’t seem in it for the music.

And I did enjoy myself. They played really wonderfully, and “Lover of the Light” even coaxed the tears out of me. Those boys (all of them — not just the 4) put on incredible live show. But it was so hard to let that music wash over me when people are chattering like fucking monkeys all around me.

Fucking New Jersey, man.
