Wow, this local band really seems to be going places. Dave Matthews Band's latest album Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King debuted at #1 on this week's Billboard 200 albums chart, knocking rapper Eminem's comeback effort Relapse out of the top spot. The new release sold 424,000 copies in its first week in stores. This marks the fifth consecutive album of DMB's to top the chart, a streak going 11 years strong all the way back to 1998's Before These Crowded Streets.

I'm probably stepping out on a limb here, but I'm starting to think this band might actually make it.
