So the numbers are in, and the release of Blooddrunk last week has put Children of Bodom on top of the charts! The first week chart positions are: Finland #1 (second week #1 as well), USA #22, Canada #7, Germany #10, Japan #12 (international chart #2), UK #44 (Rock albums chart #1), Austria #19. For a metal band in the US, #22 is a pretty good place to be! Congrats to the guys!

“We are so surprised about these chart things that are going on, it’s amazing! Even though it’s not the main thing for us to be high in charts, or whatsoever, it still feels really good. I think it indicates that metal people buy their records, even though the internet things can make music easily illegally available! We wanna thank people who’ve been supporting us in this matter! Respect!”
