Ashlee Simpson’s new album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard charts. Gasp! This is her third album and the first one to debut at anything other than No. 1. Double gasp!

Beating out the lyp-synching wonder is the New Zealand comedy duo Flight of the Conchords. FTOC has been getting more and more recognition stateside mostly due to their HBO series which is (screw objectivity) totally frickin hilarious.

Mariah Carey and Leona Lewis are No. 1 and 2, but who cares? There are funny people beating Ashlee Simpson on Billboard’s top 200!

If you enjoy the above FTOC video you’ll probably also love betting on celebrities. Why? Honestly, we don’t have an answer for that.
