THIS WEEK’S SOUNDSCAN CHARTS REVEALED
It’s been a tough week for metal sales. While makes-me-wanna-puke Christmas music and Best Of collections dominated several of the top spots, the good news is that they pushed Nickelback and Linkin Park down the charts. Led Zep’s collection Mothership continues to sell well, while Mudvayne’s recent “fan chosen” release (cough bullshit cough!) was a real dud and is certain to drop out of the Top 200 next week (oh well!). Chart numbers and sales figures after the jump.
