Recently Fall Out Boy‘s Save Rock And Roll beat out Kid Cudi to claim the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart. This is a great achievement for the band, and they released a brief statement on how they feel about topping the charts. You can read what they had to say by taking a look below the jump.

The band will be embarking on their summer tour this May, most of the shows are sold out already so be sure to check out their Facebook page to see if they will be playing in a city near you and to grab tickets if they’re available.

holy smokes. to quote patrick. who could’ve dreamed up this story? if you had told us the incantations that we sang would’ve summoned what we’ve become none of us would have ever believed it. art isn’t a competition- but this does feel like vindication- just because this is one that we made just for us- and now you have made it yours. so this one felt real good and hit us right in the gut when we saw the album was number one (with a bullet!). from a cruddy broken futon in chicago you dragged us here, or we dragged you. probably a bit of both. thank you. thanks to: crush management, our record label island defjam, and most importantly to our friends, family, and fans that made this possible.

this song was designed to celebrate moments like this. play it loud and surround yourself with friends, real or fictional:

Blood brothers in desperation
An oath of silence
For the voice of our generation
How’d it get to be only me?
Like I’m the last damn kid still kicking
That still believes
I will defend the faith
Going down swinging
I will save the songs
That we can’t stop singing
