Via the press release:

Few would have guessed that “Weird Al” Yankovic, who as a shy, accordion-playing teenager got his start sending in homemade tapes to the Dr. Demento Radio Show, would go on to become the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history with over 12 million albums sold. Weird Al released his 14th studio album Mandatory Fun on July 15th. Mandatory Fun debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. This is the first time that a comedy album has debuted at #1 on the chart in history. Further in the spirit of Mandatory Fun’s bid for world domination… Weird Al, along with his band of over three decades, who have performed thousands of live rock and comedy multimedia shows throughout the world, will be back on the road in 2015 for The Mandatory Tour.
