There's a new viral music act climbing the charts lately — and it ain't Gaga. The Gregory Brothers — of 'Auto-Tune the News' fame — have scored a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with their remix, 'Bed Intruder,' another feather to add to a cap already feathered by a top-selling iTunes jam and an upcoming pilot on Comedy Central.

The Billboard Hot 100 ranks this week's most popular songs across every single genre (parody/viral included, apparently) by radio airplay, sales and online streaming activity, among other metrics. Given the popularity of 'Bed Intruder' on iTunes — it sold 10,571 copies in the first two days alone, according to Wired — it's really no surprise that the song is climbing the charts. Except that, well, it is a surprise.
If you're unfamiliar with the tune, it's a remix of a newscast during which Antoine Dodson of Huntsville, Alabama, speaks about the attempted rape of his sister. Dodson then gives an impassioned speech about how the man will be caught. A video of the incident was uploaded to YouTube, quickly going viral due to Dodson's rather off-beat personality.
The Gregory Brothers — Evan, Andrew, Michael, and Evan’s wife Sarah — took said video and worked their auto-tune magic on it, creating a catchy song, and, apparently a legit musical sensation: No. 89 on Billboard's list. (No worries, all, Dodson receives 50% of all sales, as he did pen the 'lyrics.') Hell, they're currently coming in above acts like Rob Thomas (Remember him, no? Didn't think so...), The Plain White T's and The Ready Set, who were recently featured on the finale of Follow Me: The Search for the First MTV TJ.
