Here Come the 123s is the third children's album and thirteenth studio album by
They Might Be Giants. It is the
sequel to the group's 2005 album Here Come the ABCs. The songs are
edutainment music, and like ABCs, both a CD and DVD were released.[1] It was initially set to be released on October 2, 2007, but was pushed back to February 5, 2008.
Soon after its release, the album rose to the #1 position in the Amazon.com Children's Music Bestsellers,[8] and the top 10 overall music bestsellers on the site.[9] The album won a
Grammy award in 2009 for "Best Musical Album For Children".[10]
