It took him 30-ish years, but parody professional “Weird Al” Yankovic finally has a better album than every other legitimate musician out there. His latest offering, Mandatory Fun, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and features scathingly glorious parodies of songs by everyone else on the same list:  Iggy Azalea, Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams, Lorde, Imagine Dragons, you name it.

Evidently, people liked his versions of today’s top hits much more than the originals, and he made his way to the top with 104,000 copies of his LP sold, beating out Jazon Mraz (someone has to) and Rise Against for the win. It’s his best open and it also marks the first time a comedy album has debuted at #1 since Allan Sherman’s My Son, The Nut in August 1963. Though he hinted that this might be his final effort (yeah, right) he’s going out in a blaze of glory, releasing videos for eight songs off the album in just eight days. So far, the videos have rung up more than 20 million collective views. Weird Al is the American Dream.
