I'm not the only one who bought the album! They sold 118,000 copies...IN ONE WEEK!
Interestingly, 30 percent of their sales were digital. I actually went into a store and bought my copy, along with Jane mag and some chips.
Funny coincidence? Jane's cover girl is Mandy Moore*, who dated Zach Braff, who featured The Shins* prominently in Garden State, which I think had a lot to do with Wincing The Night Away success.
For the record, I was one of the 15,600 who picked up Chutes Too Narrow in its first week (first day, actually).
*Things I like in spite of their association with the Braff. See also: Natalie Portman, Rachel Bilson and Scrubs.
