Phish, the renowned rock band, has recently made waves in the music industry with the re-release of one of their most beloved studio albums, Round Room. Despite not having released a new studio album in several years, the band's decision to offer Round Room on vinyl has proven to be a resounding success.
Last week, Round Room sold an impressive 6,385 copies, propelling it back onto the prestigious Top Album Sales chart by Billboard. The album made its mark by debuting at an all-time high position of No. 6, marking a significant achievement for the project that is over two decades old.
On the latest edition of the Top Album Sales chart, Round Room stands as the third-highest new entry, following closely behind Toby Keith's 35 Biggest Hits and Paul McCartney and Wings' Band on the Run. The resurgence of these albums on the chart reflects the enduring appeal of classic music among fans.
While Taylor Swift currently dominates the Top Album Sales chart with three of her albums occupying the top spots, Phish's Round Room has managed to tie one of its own records by re-entering the chart at No. 6. This achievement places Round Room as one of the band's second-highest-rising projects on the sales tally, with only their 2023 release, Farmhouse, having climbed higher to No. 5.
The success of Round Room can be attributed to its release on vinyl, a format that has been gaining popularity among dedicated music enthusiasts. The album's debut at No. 1 on Billboard's Vinyl Albums chart further solidifies Phish's position as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
