Staff Writer

Keep 'em comin'.

Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile's hot streak continues as their new collaborative album, Lotta Sea Lice, has cracked a few US Billboard charts. 

The LP has debuted at #3 on the Tastemaker Albums chart, #4 on the Independent Albums chart and #51 on the Top 200 Albums list.

The placings come a week after the record debuted in Australia at #5 and at #11 in the UK.

Lotta Sea Lice has already charted on a number of international charts, including Scotland (#8) and New Zealand (#12).

Barnett and Vile are currently touring through the US in support of the album.
