Zakk Wylde Goes Top 5 (Top Story)

08/21/2010
. Zakk Wylde Goes Top 5 was a top 10 story this week . Here is the recap: Being publicly fired by Ozzy Osbourne in a press interview apparently didn't hurt Zakk Wylde's solo career. In fact, his sales are up and his latest Black Label Society album looks to have made a Top 5 debut.

Gibson says reports indicate that Black Label Society's new album, Order of the Black, sold between 35,000 and 40,000 copies in its first week of release. The latest from Zakk Wylde and Co. hit store shelves and online retailers last Tuesday. [Hits Double Daily has the sales at 35,722 for a close 4th place finish ahead of Blake Shelton who reportedly sold 35,465 copies of his new album. Eminem, Arcade Fire and Camp Rock 2 hold the top 3.]

This means that BLS's new album will have topped the first-week sales of their previous CD, 2006's Shot to Hell, which reached about 31,000 copies in its first seven days. - more on this story
