Leave it to the Fins to do something like that. I thought you were just joking!

Charts get really weird sometimes these days because the numbers are a lot smaller than when people still bought CD's, which means sometimes a track or album hits the charts despite being far from something you'd think of as a mainstream hit song.

I doubt it would have charted if people still actually bought albums widely.
I looked it up and the above track was specifically on the album charts, which is different from singles charts.
Singles charts was more what I was thinking of, but I should have specified that (fixed!).
Anything could end up on an album chart in this day and age, since music nerds are the only people really buying albums anymore.
