Beloved island-rock troubadour Jimmy Buffett died earlier this month, leaving behind—if absolutely nothing else—a legacy of some damn good songs that perfectly capture and define a specific laidback, beach-y vibe. And, as is usually the case when an artist with that kind of catalog dies, a lot of people are going back and listening to their hits. In fact, so many people are checking out Buffett’s Songs You Know By Heart: Jimmy Buffett’s Greatest Hit(s) collection from 1985 (A+ gag in that album title, by the way) that the album has cracked the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart for the first time ever. As noted by Billboard, this is the first time it even made it past the top 40.
