The Dave Matthews band shows that the music download times and the recession hasn't stopped its fans from buying their album. The group is, not surprisingly, number one on the Billboard charts.

Dave Matthews Band strikes again with its fifth-consecutive studio album to debut at No. 1 as "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King" bows in the penthouse of the Billboard 200 with a whopping 424,000. Better still, it's the fifth-straight studio set from the group to open with a sales week of at least 400,000. The act's last studio set, 2005's "Stand Up," stood tall with 465,000 in its first frame.

The band had the third biggest debut of the year, as only Eminem and U2 had higher first week sales. Speaking of Em, he'll likely go platinum next week.
