Here Come the 123s is the third children's 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 aimed at kids, this time dealing with numbers. Like ABCs, there is a CD and DVD. 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, and even rose into the top 10 overall music bestsellers on the site. The album won a Grammy award in 2009 for "Best Musical Album For Children".
All songs written by They Might Be Giants, except as noted.
