Weird Al Yankovic Finally Has a Billboard #1 Record With Mandatory Fun

After more than 30 years in the music business, song parody genius Weird Al Yankovic has finally landed himself at the top of the charts with his new album Mandatory Fun set to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200. It’s probably safe to assume that last week’s run of music videos played a huge part in this. Congratulations, Al! Couldn’t have happened to a weirder guy.
