Metallica Top US Billboard Charts With Their New Album

Metallica are celebrating this week, thanks to the popularity of their new album 'Death Magnetic'.

After first landing a Number One in the UK album charts, the veteran metal band topped the US Billboard charts today (September 16). Metallica shifted more than half a million copies in the first week of sale.

Physical copies of 'Death Magnetic' were simultaneously released with a special edition of popular video game 'Guitar Hero' and ironically, the group themselves say they are bad at the game.
