Retailers are counting on the Deftones album to be a steady seller throughout the coming months, as the band will be on the road with Metallica and Limp Bizkit on the Summer Sanitarium tour. 3 on the strength of 178,000 copies sold, and has moved about 1.06 million units to date.
The group’s 2000 album “White Pony” entered at No. The Deftones didn’t suffer quite as steep a first-week sales decline with their latest. The set, which has moved close to 5 million copies to date, was buoyed by the success of singles “Outside” and “It’s Been Awhile.” The latter spent 16 weeks atop Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks tally.Įven though “14 Shades of Gray” may be off to a much slower start, its first radio cut, “Price to Pay,” has already breached the top-10 of Billboard’s Mainstream and Modern Rock Tracks charts.
For Staind, “Gray” falls well short of the 716,000 units “Break the Cycle” sold in its first week in summer 2000. 2 on sales of 167,000 copies.Įven though their chart placements are high, neither hard rock act could match the first-week sales totals of their previous albums. The Deftones’ self-titled Maverick/Warner Bros. Staind’s “14 Shades of Gray” (Flip/Elektra) sold 221,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, to give the hard rock act its second No. New releases from Staind and the Deftones top The Billboard 200 this week, extending the reign of rock on the album chart.
