Animal Collective, Bird, Bon Iver Crash the Charts

Big week for indie rock on the Billboard 200 chart. Andrew Bird's Noble Beast lands at number 12, selling 25,000 copies, according to Nielsen Soundscan. Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion lands right behind at number 13, selling 25,000 copies. (Hey, that Fleet Foxes endorsement didn't hurt.) And finally, Bon Iver's Blood Bank EP enters at number 16, selling 23,000.

Congratulations all around. Go team indie rock, etc., etc.
