In June 2013, “Weird Al” Yankovic wrote on his blog that he only had one more album left on his record contract, causing fans to question whether or not the parody musician would continue releasing more music. Last week, after his album Mandatory Fun was released, Yankovic revealed that he will continue making music but does not anticipate releasing any more albums.

“I’m not sure if I’ll be doing any more conventional albums,” he said in a telephone interview. “It’s hard to release 12 songs at once and have them all feel fresh and topical and relevant. It’s sort of a juggling act. And I’ve been able to do it with varying results over the last few decades but, yeah, there were a few times I wanted to do a parody of a song, and by the time my album was coming out, I felt like, well, that’s going to feel a bit dated at this point so I have to let it go.”

Mandatory Fun reached the top of the Billboard chart Thursday, becoming Yankovic’s first album to achieve that honor.

“I didn’t think this was an option for me,” he told TIME after hearing the exciting news. “I thought there was a glass ceiling for comedy albums. The last time a comedy album topped the Billboard charts was over half a century ago.”

Unfortunately, the success of his latest album may not be enough to change Yankovic’s plan for the future of his music.

“I continue to think the same things that I thought prior to the album going to Number 1. I still think that albums for me are not the most efficient or intelligent way for me to present my music to the public,” he said. “I would prefer to get my songs out in a more timely fashion.”

Solely releasing singles does make sense for Yankovic, as he will likely achieve more success with his parody songs if they are released when the songs they are making fun of are still popular. However, Yankovic has noted that he knows albums still work for most artists and is not ruling out returning to that format sometime in the future.

“I’m not drawing any hard lines in the sand,” he said. “I’ll do whatever’s appropriate, and if that doesn’t work out I’ll do something else.”
