The new System Of A Down studio album, Hypnotize, has just debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 best-selling albums chart, giving the groundbreaking Los Angeles-based rock band its second #1 debut in a mere six months.
As Hypnotize glides into the top slot of the Top 200, System Of A Down --
Serj Tankian (vocals), Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals), Shavo Odadjian (bass)
and John Dolmayan (drums) -- has become the first band in the history of the
chart to score two #1 debuts with new studio albums in a single calendar year.
With true first week's sales of 320,185, Hypnotize, the eagerly-awaited
finale to System Of A Down's epic two-part Mezmerize/Hypnotize double album
set, is mirroring the success of part one, Mezmerize, which debuted at #1 the
week of May 17, 2005. (Six months after its release, Mezmerize remains firmly planted in the Top 200.)
Hypnotize, the fifth studio album from System Of A Down, is the group's
third to debut at #1. Toxicity, the watershed release that brought the band
its first major success, debuted at #1 the week ending September 9, 2001 with
first week's sales of 222,037. The album has gone on to sell more than 6
million copies worldwide. Global sales for System Of A Down albums and singles now total more than 16 million records.
