Muppet Fact #385
The Green Album, is a cover album featuring songs from The Muppet Show, The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, and Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, performed by various bands and singers.
Originally, the album was titled Muppets Revisited, as shown at the 2009 D23 Expo, akin to Nightmare Revisited, the cover album for The Nightmare Before Christmas. Later, however, the name was changed to be a parody of The Beatles' White Album.
The Green Album debuted at number one on Billboard's Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts. It also peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 Chart, making it the first ever Muppets album to reach the top ten.
