Bob Dylen Went To #1 On The US Album Charts On September 16, 2006

Bob Dylan entered the US Album charts at #1 with Modern Times on September 16th of 2006. One year ago today.

It was Dylan's first #1 album in the US since 1976's Desire. With this album's commercial success, Dylan became the oldest living musician to have an album top the charts in America. He was 65 at the time (and those of you good at math know this means he is now 66.)

Modern Times also went to to #1 in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, and Switzerland. It reached #3 in the UK.

It won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album.

"When the Deal Goes Down" is one of the songs featured on the album. A promo video was made for this song featuring actress Scarlett Johansson. Listen & watch below:
