Just days after Metallica's new album 72 Seasons topped the UK chart, it has fallen just short in The US. The metal giant's eleventh studio album earned 146,000 units during its first week of release, while Wallen earned 166,000.
The final numbers, or "earned units", are calculated using a combination of physical sales, individual tracks bought as downloads, and ad-supported plays or streams via paid-for subscription on digital platforms like Spotify, Tidal and YouTube.
