At #199 in the current (March 2nd) Billboard Top 200 albums chart - the zillionth* re-entry of Sounds Of Summer.

This goes along with the trend I've been seeing on Spotify. Usually they don't enter the top 500 until sometime in April, but this year they're already at 468 and climbing. Hopefully it's a small sign that more people are recognizing they're not just a band you listen to in the summer.

Maybe it is due to Mike's raised profile and solo efforts.
