It's good to be No. 1.
"Random Access Memories," Daft Punk's latest album, debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart on Wednesday.
Led by the release of the single "Get Lucky," featuring Pharrell Williams, "Random" sold 339,000 copies in its first week.
According to Billboard, "Random" is the first album by French musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter to hit No. 1.
Daft Punk's latest release is also the first electronic/dance album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in more than a year. The last release to achieve such heights was Madonna's "MDNA."
In 2009, Daft Punk won Grammy Awards for Best Dance Recording and Best Electronic Dance Album.
