Metallica enters tie with Van Halen as second most successful hard rock band of all time

The projections from earlier this week proved to be pretty accurate: Metallica moved 490,000 copies of their new album, Death Magnetic, making it the number one album in the country. It’s Metallica’s fifth chart-topper, bringing them into a tie for second with Van Halen for most number one albums from a hard rock group. Led Zeppelin tower over the competition however— they’ve had seven albums hold the top spot. It’s hard to imagine Metallica have two albums left in them.  

 

The most surprising bit of that information is that Van Halen are considered by Billboard as a hard rock band. Is this hard rock? [Billboard]

Yeah

Right, it really seems hard to believe Metallica has two more albums in them at the ripe old age of 44.

As for Jump being hard rock, if that's all you know from VH, hang up your blog.

Godfail

Obviously, with the success of Death Magnetic, Metallica has at LEAST 2 records left in them.
