THIS WEEK’S SOUNDSCAN CHARTS REVEALED
Kid Rock had the big debut this week with Rock N’ Roll Jesus, getting enough juice to land him at the #1 spot for the first time ever. Alter Bridge had a #13 debut, and Puddle of Mudd’s new disc sold respectably as well. The Foo Fighters remain strong in their third week while Buckcherry’s seemingly eteneral 15 jumped 22 spots to continue its miraculous 79 week run. Dethklok remained in the Top 100 while Down just missed. Chart positions and sales figures for all hard rock and heavy metal albums in the Top 200 after the jump.
#1: Kid Rock – Rock N’ Roll Jesus
This Week: 172258 (debut)
He still sucks.
#13: Alter Bridge – Blackbird
This Week: 46,863 (debut)
OK, OK, turns out Tremonti is a talented guitar player. I’ll give them that. But they still suck.
#17: Foo Fighters – Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
This Week: 41,054
Cume: 264,249
#24: Nickelback – All the Right Reasons
This Week: 33,051
Cume: 6,063,584
Finally slipped past the 6 million mark. But perhaps slowing down? Has dropped 2 spots in two consecutive weeks.
#27: Puddle of Mudd – Famous
This Week: 31,162 (debut)
Who cares?
#36: Linkin Park – Minutes to Midnight
This Week: 20,277
Cume: 1,780,246
Losing steam, but still certain to break 2 million unless the apocalypse comes.
#64 Eddie Vedder – Into the Wild Soundtrack
This Week: 13,470
Cume: 82,453
Somehow we missed this the first couple of weeks it was on the charts… Eddie Vedder has a solo album? And it’s a soundtrack to a movie? And it has already sold 82,000+ copies? WHAT?
#78: Metalocalypse: Dethklok – Dethalbum
This Week: 11,203
Cume: 58,295
Unbelievable. And I mean that in the best way possible.
#92: Three Days Grace – One-X
This Week: 9,124
Cume: 923,170
Another likely platinum seller… I have to say I didn’t ever think these guys would make it this far. Proof that the middle of the country, and not the coasts, is the U.S. population center.
#93: Finger Eleven – Them Vs. You Vs. Me
This Week: 9,029
Cume: 238,615
