Conor Oberst hits hard with 'Cassadaga'

Bright Eyes' latest album, 'Cassadaga', has debuted at Number Four on the US Billboard chart.

'Cassadaga' sold 58,000 units in its first week out of the gate (beginning April 10) - the best showing ever for a Bright Eyes album.

2005's 'I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning' achieved a Number 10 spot, and 'Digital Ash In A Digital Urn' hit Number 15 the same year.

As previously announced, Conor Oberst and company will embark on an extensive tour of North America beginning in Milwaukee on Sunday (April 22), concluding with seven dates at New York's Town Hall May 25 to June 1.
