Death Cab For Cutie have scored their first Number One album on the Billboard chart with the release of ‘Narrow Stairs’.

The record which sold 144,000 copies in its first week of release, is the follow-up to 2005’s ‘Plans’ which reached Number Four and spent 50 weeks on the chart.

Meanwhile, Duffy’s debut ‘Rockferry’ entered the chart at Number Four today, having sold 71,000 copies. The singer, whose real name is Aimee Anne Duffy, is the third British singer to enter the Top 10 with a debut album since 2007.

narrow stairs was good, but it wasn't that great.

plans and transatlanticism were so much better.

I want to see them in Toronto, but my boyf is still whining about having seeing them two years ago, so I don't really want to drag him (and have to put up with it for another two years.) But I really want to see them. What is a girl to do?

i'm trying to figure out if i want to go to the show in LA. i'm not crazy about this album, and will probably need to hear it a bunch more. my favorite is still transatlanticism. plans was good too, but really, transatlanticism is epic.

Weird how this happens. Non-mainstreamish band makes good records, gets famous, makes new decent (but not great) record and THAT one sells liek woah.

Aaand then people who knew them before are all 'omgsux' and people who know them now think they're latching on to something special and unique.

i think it's kind of lame when people are like OMG they suck and sold out. yeah, i will say that they haven't made a better album than transatlanticism yet, but they are still good.

I like Narrow Stairs, I love how 'I Will Possess Your Heart' just kinda creeps up. I only got into them recently (within the last year or so), though, so I still feel like a poseur when talking about them. :p

I hope you've heard the older stuff? Transatlanticism, definitely, and the stuff before that-- definitely the Forbidden Love EP (Photobooth ftw).
