I read that with the preorders, BI was #1 seller!
Coldplay was released on 11 June, black ice 4 months later. AC/DC in No1. In the United States, it sold 316,000 copies in its first day, and 720,000 in its first week. Black ice sold more than 780000 units its first week. So AC/DC is number 1 and f%ck all the rest! Metallica$h with another bored to death album. Guns and roses super duper 20 years anticipated album at number 14.Hahaha! Let's see who will fill more stadiums this summer, shall we? ;)
I got Death Magnetic just the other day, after some friends had recommended it. Sounds like the same song throughout the entire album. Then again, Metallica have released the same song 200 times times throughout their 20+ year career. Chinise Democracy - complete waste of money, my left testicle could have produced a better album. The old GNR were far more superior. BI is by far the best album of 2008. Also, I recommend Motorizer, Motorheads new album to those of you with a spare £10 to spend, its great.
