White Stripes

Maybe it's because they're called rock stars, but it seems like a lot of big-time rockers have an inexplicable obsession with outer space.

Days after Jack White claimed his third number one album in the U.K., he's now climbed atop the Billboard 200 chart for the first U.S. number one album of his career.

As predicted last week, Jack White's debut solo album, Blunderbuss (buy on iTunes), has landed in the No. 1 spot on the charts in the U.K., toppling Adele by a margin of nearly two-to-one.

Jack White is heading back to the States next week, but for the time being, he's still tearing it up in Europe.

As part of the Third Man Records Vault subscription series, the White Stripes will be releasing a "new" live DVD, Under New Zealand Lights.
