Lots of big hard rock and metal debuts this week, with new releases from HIM, Dropkick Murphys, Between the Buried and Me, Black Dahlia Murder, Thousand Foot Krutch and The Donnas all landing in the Top 100. Ministry, High on Fire and Rammstein debuted in the Top 200 as well. You may all also breathe a sigh of relief, as Hinder’s Extreme Behavior has FINALLY exited the Top 100 after god knows how long.

Click through for chart positions and sales numbers, after the jump.

#12: HIM – Venus Doom
This Week: 38,311 (debut)

Pretty decent debut, though it won’t pull the major label numbers it needs to. I guess this band will never be as popular in America as they are in Europe.

#15: Nickelback – All The Right Reasons
This Week: 33,660
Cume: 5,962,372

#20: Dropkick Murphys – The Meanest of Times
This Week: 28,168 (debut)

Pretty cool that this band can still have such a solid debut.

#21: Linkin Park – Minutes to Midnight
This Week: 26,934
Cume: 1,714,639

#57: Between the Buried and Me – Colors
This Week: 12,556 (debut)

That this debuted in the Top 100 at all is surprising to me. Great for these guys, they deserve it.

#58: Thousand Foot Krutch – The Flame in All Of Us
This Week: 12,473 (debut)

Wouldn’t touch ‘em with a thousand foot pole.

#72: The Black Dahlia Murder – Nocturnal
This Week: 9,618 (debut)

See #57, above.
#73: Atreyu – Lead Sails Paper Anchor
This Week: 9,438
Cume: 82,208

Dropping down the charts 20 spots per week like a lead anchor with paper sails.

This Week: 9,107
Cume: 895,113

#78: White Stripes – Icky Thump
This Week: 8,633

Who even knew they had a new album out? I actually kind of like this band and wish I’d known about this.
