[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Oct 8 2004, 09:12 AM\']WWTBAM/Super Millionaire's own Regis Philbin debuts at #54 on this week's Billboard 200 Album charts with "When You're Smiling". It is IIRC his first appearance on the Billboard charts, which at his age(71 or 73 depending on the source) is at or near a record for an artist making their debut on said chart.

My first instinct when you make that statement is to wonder whether any of George Burns' later-life vanity projects made the charts. He was 77 when he release George Burns Sings, and 84 when the more popular I Wish I Was Eighteen Again came out. The latter was considered more of a country album (the single was a bona fide hit there) but it might still have made the pop charts.
