Sales and chart performanceThe album debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling about 52,000 copies in its first week.[5] In their home country of New Zealand, the album debuted at number two, beaten to the top spot by Shihad's Beautiful Machine. The following week it jumped to the number one spot. The album was certified 2x Platinum in New Zealand on 23 August 2009,[6] shipping over 30,000 copies.[7] Appearances on the TV showAll of the tracks on the album, with the exception of track 15, were featured in an episode of the TV series Flight of the Conchords.
Many tracks are rerecorded or slightly remixed versions of those featured in the television program. "Business Time" previously appeared on The Distant Future EP, along with live versions of "Robots" and "The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)". Music videosA music video for the song "Ladies of the World" has been released by Sub Pop records. It is available on the Sub Pop YouTube channel.[8] In the video, Bret and Jemaine skate around a beach (mostly in slow motion) in a parody of "cheesy" 70's music videos. When they reach the hermaphrodite lyrics, the camera zooms in on a bulge in a woman's swimsuit. When the music fades back in at the end of the song, Bret and Jemaine "fly" into space; Bret flaps his arms and Jemaine uses his vest as wings. Awards
