KORN’s new, untitled album sold 123,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 2 on The Billboard chart. This is slightly more than half of the 221,000 first-week tally achieved by its predecessor, „See You on the Other Side“, which landed at No. 3 back in December 2005.
In other news, DEVILDRIVER’s third album, „The Last Kind Words“, shifted a little more than 14,000 copies during its first week of release to debut at No. 48 — around 40 percent more than the opening-week number of 2005’s „The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand“, which premiered at No. 117 with sales of 10,400.
