Mr. Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst, is having -- to straight jack a phrase from VH1 -- the best week ever. His first effort under his own name sold enough copies to claim this week's top seller at Twist & Shout, knocking Beck's Modern Guilt out of the top spot.

Flobots, meanwhile, are hanging tough at number ten. -- Dave Herrera
