Durham-based Merge Records rang up a mighty nice chart debut this week with Texas rock band Spoon's "Transference." The album sold 53,696 copies to crack the Billboard 200 at No. 4. That represents Merge's best top-10 showing since 2007, when albums by Spoon and Arcade Fire both debuted in the top-10.
Another top-10 album for Merge
