David Byrne’s new album American Utopia has become his first solo LP to land in the Billboard 200’s top ten. It came in at No. 3, selling 63,000 equivalent album units, according to Billboard. His sales numbers received a boost thanks to a “concert ticket/album sale redemption offer” in conjunction with his current world tour. American Utopia features contributions from Brian Eno and Oneohtrix Point Never, among others. Byrne later released a statement about the lack of female contributors, saying, “I regret not hiring and collaborating with women for this album-it's ridiculous, it's not who I am and it certainly doesn't match how I've worked in the past.”
