It comes as no surprise that Daft Punk's new record, Random Access Memories, will debut this week at No. 1. It had long been expected that the highly anticipated album would top the Billboard 200, but Nielsen SoundScan has now confirmed that the set has surpassed expectations with 339,000 units sold in its first week, having previously been expected to sell around 300,000.

The tally, which gives the duo their best sales week ever and their first No. 1, also makes RAM's debut the second-largest sales week of the year overall, behind only Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience in March.

Interestingly, Daft Punk's last studio set, 2005's Human After All, debuted and peaked way down at No. 98. As Billboard points out, in one week, RAM has already sold more than twice the total sales of their last record, which has sold just 125,000 to date.
