The Numbers Games: Weird Al Yankovic & Marsha Ambrosius

Marsha Ambrosius

Props to Weird Al Yankovic. He’s been doing music for as long as I remember but this week he grabbed his first #1 album with Mandatory Fun. Even though we didn’t post any of the eight music videos he dropped last week, who doesn’t like Weird Al Yankovic?

I always thought Marsha Ambrosius was talented so it’s feel weird that I had no idea that her new album, Friends & Lovers, dropped last week. Good for her that 17,000 people knew about it and bought her new album because that was enough to get her the #12 spot.
